Q. What if you would dyno the car with one of those super blower, big ass metal fans right in front of the car to more or less simulating the effect of the air rushing in?

Just use a backpack leaf blower. You could have a much more focused stream of air into the intake.

It's not really an ideal plan though.

One thing I don't like about carbon fiber is that after time, the clearcoat starts to look like crap.

Heat is the bane of cf. I suppose you could keep it waxed all the time, which should help the appearance, or there are applications for fiberglass gelcoat that keeps it looking smooth and shiny.

For sure, water would not be a problem, I just was curious.

I wonder why is called RAM Air with that big hole in there in where all the RAM effect is lost.

That's why I posed that question earlier. I asked the OP why there was a hole there. Could it be for the factory cold air hookup? Inquiring minds want to know.

i think that the piece of carbon fiber that is mounted on top of the battery leads air to that hole, thats my guess

damn that is siick

Xenin · 03-17-2008, 03:37 PM

so i take it the intake tube (runs from the TB to the MAF) is stretched a little to the front?

halfNhalf83 · 03-17-2008, 03:43 PM

the hole in the side of the airbox is for incoming engine bay airflow...

this is from their site.

and that plate that goes over the battery helps direct, and isnt just for looks. although it sho is pertty.
