has anyone ever made ducting from the ftp lense to the intake...without cutting the car? ive got the cone filter, i have demensions for a cold air box, (i need good metal and heat resistant foam stuff) and i want to try and make ducting from the lense around the light....will i need to cut holes or somthing? i searched but didnt find what im looking for.

 

should i do this or but a head light cover with a scoop?

 

basically im asking if there is a space inbetween the closed hood and the cross member thing?

 

ther are no GOOD areas for the ducts to go I have looked. I am 99% sure you will need to cut something.

instead of that do you think i should just get a head light cover with a scoop? or make ducting with the very few material and skills i have?

 

Umm the head light covers I THINK are in the low pressure area so they really would not work if that is true. But I would rather fab something up than shell out 100 bux for a head light cover. All you need is a hole saw and cut a hole in the bottom of the cold air box area(this is my plan ) then get some large diamiter PCV piping and mod the brake ducts a bit and that will be sure to bring in some fresh air

someone posted a chart once, im going to try to find it

 

yeah, not high pressure at all. but under the car.........how hard would making ducting be from there? have you done it, or you're going to?

 

I plan to but there is a thread floating around here with pix and all.

 

it seems like you should be able to cut under the headligt or somthing...

also, will like this sheet tin metal stuff work for a cold air box? and where can i get heat resistant foam?

 

just remove your washer bottle or relocate it and cut under the air box and get some 3" PCV from home depo and mount the filter right near the break duct cooling

 

My cold air box is made our of Carbon Fiber so I would not know. Contact rx-7fc he made it for me. It does have some fitment problems but not to many. I like it and it made a good difference even without the ducts.

 

Anyone notice that there is a frame rail/metal rail which is hollow from engine bay side?

It is on the passenger side under the stock airbox. Right next to the radiator vertical rail.

Maybe drill a few quarter sized holes(don't want to lose structural integrity) in it and remove the FTP lense on that side?

Just a thought. then you have a little tube going from the Headlight area to the airbox section.

It would work well with my Cold Airbox I made

I say small circular holes because you don't want to make that part weak. Might make it weak cutting it?Any Ideas?

Here's some pics of my cold airbox to help reference the area. It's at the bottom closest to the radiator.

I can't view my own site from work, so I don't know which pic would best decribe it
