Anybody ever tried to use NACA ducts in the rocker panels to get cold air intake?
My thought is this: 1. Ditch the jack points in the longs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) 2. Put NACA ducts in this area (or just behind the jack points if step #1 above is not desired) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Note: The duct should go through the long (ie. into the interior of the long). 3. Run the piping up through the longs and out through a hole in the engine bay sheet metal (hell hole area). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Heck, there is already a hole there anyways on most cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) 4. Note: This would be done on driver and passenger sides with corresponding hole in the the driver's side "heck hole" (since it is usually not as bad as the passenger side). Ok, that should be clear as mud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/brain.gif) |

QUOTE(pvollma @ Feb 19 2014, 05:37 AM)  QUOTE I would avoid buying from this person. Thank you, sfrenck! You're the only one who actually read my request for information on the vendor, not the efficacy of the cold air intake. I've always questioned the location and size of the stock air intake on the 2.0L, especially given the aerodynamics of getting air into the engine bay at speed. My plan is to do my own evaluation of a solution, so I was curious as to whether or not this vendor was someone I wanted to include in that evaluation. You've answered that question. Thanks again. The use of "I think x amount of HP increase" should be enough for a grown adult to want to avoid this product. Any company that belives in their products dyno or show real data. |

i made a custom cold air intake after seeing Demick's post and I think some stuff from Trekkor, because the parts were from Home Depot or something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The ABS plastic elbow hose clamped to the throttle body with large diameter extensions up to the small engine screen where it sucks cold air have served me well for over 8 years. I drive a custom hot-rod!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Air intake under the car is a bad idea even with some kind of water trap. Years ago I bought a dead Alfa that had eaten water when it was driven through a big puddle. The intake was just above the bumper and the air cleaner had drains. The poor car had two bent rods and two cracked cylinder liners.
