I also agree with the heat from the radiator, even moving. Once the car sits at a couple stop lights on a 80 degree day or even hotter, it’s really hard to get all the heat out of the engine bay. I tune my car myself and I see it on the scanner as I’m driving and takes a lot of steady driving to get the iat’s down. It’s a very good thought and makes perfect sense, but not on a hot day when the engine is heat soaked. 50 degree day would be great and I bet there’s some performance to gain from it. I think a small heat shield would help, or if you didn’t cut the pieces off the plastic base but instead cut it to where they would fold down as a shield might have been slightly better. Thanks for the video though, that’s great thinking.
I’ve done this to my 02 cme ss. You really feel the difference during winter driving
Did the same mode on my firebird and also installed a few washers to increase the height of front inlet side of the box.
Hi finally a great video on the free ram air mod,,, thanks much appreciated..
absolutely, glad I could be of some help.
Will this work on a 98 v6 camaro and are there any issues or side affects from this?
This is cool and all if results are proven on a dyno. One thing I want to mention. for a stock engine and TB this kinda sucks because YOU LOOSE the functionality of the ram air hood (on the SS and T/A) because it sucks hot air from the radiator instead of outside air through the hood. I could see a z28 benefiting more from this than an SS because that slit is where the hood seals onto for the “cold air intake on the hood” but overall airflow for an aftermarket setup is no doubt increased once it’s cut
What if you install the SLP flow pac duct and build a duct from the ram air hood to the box ? Now u just funneled cold air from top and bottom ??
Nice video make a video with more free mods please 👍🏻
Did you ever put sheet metal all the way down ?
You did not happen to have a before dyno and a after dyno? or even a app like torque that shows times ect?
sorry that I'm just getting back with you but no i didn't have it on a dyno as it would have most likely not shown any improvement without any air flow.
Looks to me like all you're doing is sucking hot air off the radiator. I don't see the benefit of sucking more hot air in the engine. Would be curious to see any performance benefits on a hundred degree day.
Sitting still I’m sure you are drawing in a lot of unnecessary heat, but once you are moving it should be minimal being that the rad is behind where the air is being drawn from. A bone stock car probably wouldn’t benefit from it much but with nitrous, a bigger tb, and more airflow mod the air box becomes a restriction. They make a shrouding kit to help with any heat but for something you can do in your garage for no money and free up some cfm I don’t se the harm in it.
This is for high rpm. Great for cammed cars. To put it in simple terms it increases the air your car can take in
Great video
wow how many miles on that car?
Doesn't this cause you to overheat though, considering most of the humid heat is coming from the bottom?
Love the diy tho
i never had any issues with it.
now ur gonna get hot air from ur radiator...
What saw did you use to make the cut
I used a dremel but any cutoff wheel should do.
@@powerbytwitch3073 sweet I just found out about this mod and was going to do it myself thanks homie, how does she run after you made the cuts
why is the music so loud? and why does the camera bounce so much?
the purppose of ram air is to maintain positive pressure in the airbox and "ram" air into the engine at speed. you just defeated the whole purpose by cutting a gaping hole in the bottom lol
Not an SS so it’s not a factory ram air car, opening up the air box allows a lot more air to reach the engine. The front opening on the air box of these cars is a bottle neck. The trans ams have a larger opening but that air box won’t clear the camaro hood.
@@powerbytwitch3073 ok, not an SS... i didnt get that part. you may have been better off drilling holes on the perimeter of the base below the filter vs having your intake directly ingest hot air coming off of the radiator at low speeds. thats an old trick for some older generation street bikes that had airboxes that had an internal volume that was too small for the motors they fed... just a thought
@@powerbytwitch3073 keep up the DIYs though...always good to see the younger guys tweaking on their rides. good stuff
@@petrorr possibly, they make a shrouding kit to limit whatever hot air may be ingested just never got around to buying one. Really a tube routed to the bumper would’ve probably been most effective but GM kinda limited what you can easily do without a lot of cutting and moving parts around.
The hood on the ss is not functional unless you buy a kit to extend the air box so that it seals to the hood. And even then the effects do not take place until you’re rolling hard. I did this mod on my ss and picked up a noticeable difference down low. And it sounds mean af without the silencing bellow
