i tried to search but didnt find anything...

whats ram air, whats it do, & how do i do it

thanks

I'm almost 100% sure that ram air is just like it says...."ram" air.
it sets the intake into a position where the air current is moving straight for the intake and then goes straight into the air filter.

atleast i think

My ram air......

Yeah, you're creating a pseudo forced induction set-up...but you're not even close to someone with a stage1...it's basically making it so that instead of your engine sucking air, it flows in better with higher speeds. Of course off the line there's no advantage to it what-so-ever. So you may gain some top end (like the 1-2 hp area).

hit up my site to see an even more elaborate example of ram air... i dun use it anymore, but did get lower intake temps from comparing short ram vs my ram air setup w/a short ram intake....

http://seangordon1.tripod.com go to the mods page, then the ram air link...

similar to the pic above, but uses a box so that the whole filter can be used, not blocking the airflow around the filter...

good luck...

i farted on your wiki

Yeah, my setup works pretty well on the autobahn cruising at 100 mph, but I know it's not doing anything when driving slow. Plus I gotta clean my filter out like every month. But for a $6 mod, I'm happy with it!
