I am seriously considering running ducting from my high beam to a short ram intake.

From talking with other people, I have ran across the problem, that there is very little air pressure in front of the headlight. IF there was a hole in the headlight, not much fresh air would go in.

I was even thinking that air could actually want to travel out of the headlight piping that I would fabricate

I know that the real time itr's use the nsx air box and then run a a large air duct from the low beam.

Is the low beam going to have a lower "-" air pressure in front of it, compared to the high beam?
the are so close together that I would think that there should be very little difference

before i hacked away, I am going to do timed accleration tests of with the light housing in/out and see if it is beneficial to do

 

Maybe you could do some pressure testing of the whole front end using a manometer, and map the different pressure zones. I guess you could so it in turns too to see if it had any adverse effects.

Heck, I think I might give it a try on my car.

 

any one else?

 

i remember a PY ITR had this done and placed a grill there to deflect bugs. i think his user name was Chris(???)

hopefully he sees this and responds with some good feedback

 

yeah, I am friends with chris, I am stealing his idea pretty much

but, I dont think he did a whole lota tests, or is sure it was very beneficial. I am sure its better than the stock air box, just not sure how much better it is...

 

Just do it like the GT cars do..... I would deff use the mesh, for rocks and bugs. Im not speaking from any experience but I would't see that much of an issue with pressure. Its a hole in the front of the car, it will flow.
