$7 Ram air intake pictorial
The stock arrangement of pulling air from directly behind the radiator seems to leave room for improvement. Tonight I put the non-functional "brake vent" fog light block off plate to use as a source of air for a ram air cold air intake using $7 or so worth of parts a dremel tool and a drill.
First I pulled the stock intake snorkel off the air box and cut away the mounting tab (pic 1). After pulling off the fog light plate I used a dremel tool with a cut off wheel and sanding drum to cut out slots in it (pic 2). I then gathered my $7 of parts, a funnel and a piece of flexible air tube. 1 3/4" will fit in the end of the snorkel and 2 1/4" will fit out side. I could not find any 2 1/4" so I used the smaller size. (pic 3). Next I cut off the ends of the funnel so it fit against the back of the fog light plate and mounted it using zip ties (pic 4 and 5). |
