I tried the washer thing and it was kinda chauncey. So i went out and got 4 1/2 inch spacers and made my own custom cowl air now. when i had the washers it didnt kick the rear up enuff to get air flow in. hopefully this helps a little with getting cooler air in . im also trying to get another driver side headlight and gonna hollow out the high beam and feed it right into the turbo inlet. . . anyway enjoy .looks kinda ricey, but function over form .

 

see those on s13's all the time

 

i personally think its kinda ugly. but i guess kinda cool if it does its job. my intake temps have been logged at 146 degrees the other weekend at the track

 

wow. if you ever got in a front hit collision would the hood come flying into the windshield to decapitate?

 

why didnt you just vents out of the hood and throw some mesh behind it?



It was pretty cool watching the smoke billow out when my motor took a ****

 

wouldnt people know whats under the hood n cant they just pull the hood and might steal your car?

No, the hood is still bolted to the hinges.

 

Has anybody ever designed an actual cowl high pressure intake for the DC2?

AJR designed one for the EP3, but I haven't seen them sell any after they designed it.

I've always felt we were ignoring a logical cold air, high pressure intake possibility.

 

Ryan , i dont have the patience for that.lol. na really thats my next step thugh if this dont wok. i got with the easy stuff 1st.

i will ignore the retard comments about the hood decapitating and the stealing my car. cuz they make no sense at all

George, i dont think anyone makes a cowl air system. at least ive not seen them , i did this becuase of seeing the guys with the ITBs doing it and figured id try it out

 

Me = wondering how that will effect aerodynamics and airflow at speed.

Let's get you to a wind tunnel with those nifty smoke wands Pete.

 

i wish i had access to that. id be there already .

 

Old school tech from Option video 5yrs ago.

 

do you think it has to be that high in order for it to be affective?

Try old school tech from Domestics in the 60's.

If it works it works, but when it's on a stock EF cibic or something with mismatched wheels and blingy wing it sure does amuse me.

 

&lt;--- not diggin' it big pete, unless you got a purge kit coming out from there.....

yes, becuase i tried it with 8 washers on each side, and it didnt seem to do much . now i can actually see in from the back so i know theres room for air to get in.

im not toofond of the looks either, but idont own a show car. its a racewhore.

 

Look at this sucka jockin my style...

I have about 7 washers on them as well, and it doesnt prop it up *that* much higher. I can see why Pete got the spacers.

 

edit: I should of stayed in school.

well, are you logging lower intake temps now as a result of the cowl? 146 ain't bad at all for FI. I got into the low 100 and I'm NA with about 80s ambient temp. When you logged 146 were you moving or just staging?

 

i havent driven the car yet. i wont get the new turbo until tommorow prob and it will go in sometimes this week and hopefully retuned by next week . but we sall see how it works. the 146 temps were staging/standing still. ive seen it go down to 118 i tihnk it was while under load down the track. i gotta check the logs again though
