I know this has been done before and that I am far from the first to rig something up like this. I just wanted to get some thoughts/recommendations/comments from everyone as to whether or not the set up is indeed worth swapping in and out for track days or clear days when I am out on spirited drives...I pretty much followed a similar method as another user when constructing this duct though I can't remember his user name. I took a used passenger side running/blinker light and cut it up as cleanly as I could with my dremel to fashion a sort of ram air unit. I then took a file to the edges to angle them out and make them as smooth as I could. At the back side of the lense where the bulbs go in, I took a cutting wheel to it and made it squared off so I could attach a rain gutter downspout coupler(rectangular on one side and round on the other) to it. I then cut another piece of an oem intake arm to make a slight bend which feeds directly into my Comptech Icebox. At all points where the pieces go together I have sealed them with several rows of weather stripping as well. This allows them to come apart when I need to take it out but keeps air from going everywhere but the icebox tubing. I'm pretty happy with it so far...I had my car dynotuned to approx 203whp and am running a gsr head/block with mild P/P, Blox B cams and valvetrain, RC 440s, S2 Pro-series I/M, BDL gears, Hytech Rep. Header, 2-1/2" to 3" custom exhaust, jdm ITR pistons, rods, Comptech Icebox/Shortram...At mid to higher speeds, especially on the freeway, the car seems to have a little more throttle response as well. My question is whether or not I should make this duct to where I can use it all the time, ie, retrofit a running light/blinker to still work on the left side of the lense or if I should just keep it as something I swap in and out for certain days and events. I will post up some pics of the assembly next time I have the car up on stands to where I can take it out. Thanks for looking and anyone's ideas are more than welcome!

 

didnt read your whole story but looks cool...i want to make one for my DA. what did you make it out of?

 

Made it out of my old side marker light and, a rain gutter downspout coupler thing from Home Depot, and a piece of a stock intake arm...which all connects to the Comptech icebox tubing.

 

I did that to my car back in the day.. but i didn't paint the whole lense, just the reflector where i painted. This was back in 01-ish.. lol

 

Yeah, most of the posts that I found were from several years ago as well. I think mainly 2003 though.

 

that's pretty slick

 

Thanks man.

 

I just pull my head light and bolt a velocity stack where the headlight is.. Well did it once for a track day. Good idear
