Fog Light Ram Air

Im going to cut holes in the fog light covers, feed 2 tubes running from the holes to connect together as 1 tube, and shoot air out at my air box... wonder how it will turn out! anyone have it done?

 

thats a long way for ram air and with a bunch of angles and turns

 

So maybe i should just do one tube? on the right side, just a straight way to the airbox

 

I will be doing this soon as well to pressurize the box. either this or a collector right behind the grill

 

way to one up me! lol

 

haha I mean so what if it has all the turns and shit..ITS NOT THE INTAKE. all it will be there to do is draw ambient air (cooler) and possibly pressure the stock air box so when the thorttle body opens hopefully they will be pressure to help push/pull/force the air into the chamber. IDK how well this will work or anthing BUT will the help of the ultra gauge I will be able to keep track of things in order to see how the idea works

Of course this intercooler is different than ram air... but i wanted to share the vid... i LOVE the look of his URD intercooler right behind the grille, with the grille cut out... looks cool to me

 

Thanks for the opinion... yeah i will just run one tube, very discreit looking and not tacky looking... i will run a test to see the difference in temperature in the intake air... but im sure it will cool the engine bay down some too.

 

They actually make an intake that looks exactly like a intercool and the application is a honda civic. IDK if they still make it I will take a look but thats also an option if its still available

 

This winter I will also be changing out the clutch driven fan for an electric fan

 

Lol almost as cool as intstalling the "Turbo Whistle" on an exhaust tip... hahaha

 

ya but at least its semi functional haha

 

post pics when your done!

 

I have a Charger SRT8 and there is a company called AE Carbon that did basically this same thing, link to the build and tests are here: http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=141902 The results weren't that bad. If you want cool, figure out a way to run a dual intake like this guy did:





Personally what I would do is what both Dodge and Ford have done which is use the fog light area to cool the brakes. Basically just some dryer type vent tubing ran from the fog light area to the front fender well. The intakes above were just to give you some ideas.

 

I agree. Some debate on the Charger forums was that it wouldn't but there's probably a reason engineers who spend millions on R&D decide to keep intake's high and level. That's why I'd recommend using the vents to cool the brakes and keep the intake where it's at. Just my .02.

 

this is more a mod for people who dont live in rainy areas or drive in a lot of muddy areas. My GF has a jeep that collects from behind the grill. jeep puts a little flap there which I removed for her. She loves it! We did a "rain" test where she drove by me and I had a hose. Then we looked at the air box and there was no sign of water.

but with any modification: DO AT YOUR OWN RISK NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS OR WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DO SOMETHING TO YOUR TRUCK

 

there was a guy on XR-U that did this mod to his 2ng gen single cab...I can't find the thread or pics right now...but it is possible...

I suggest not going through any big and/or deep puddles...hydrolocking sucks donkey balls...lol

 

Lol not saying yall are un-informed... but i dont mud/crawl with mine, so water wont be an issue. and as of right now i dont have an intake, just the stock box

 

X2 AIR GOOD WATER BAD
