Pics on my BETA ram air setup..

He folks I am trying to figure out a way to squeeze out a 13.6 NA and I figured what better way then RAM AIR! Hahaha.. Well today I decided to tinker around and see what I could come up with.

My plan was to get a air filter directly behing the headlight. This way at the track I can quickly remove my headlight and have a effective ram air setup. This is very simaler to what you see the eclipse guys do(they jsut pull the light though). This should definatly help a bit at the track wether it's hot or cold out.

Heres what I did..

First I had to find a way to safley and easaly move my headlight out of the way.. I did so by removing the whole thing and rotating my tray as seen below.



With a ton of luck you can rotate the tray and 2 bolts still line up perfectly, my battery is in there real good now. A 3rd whole is going to be made for safe measures.

Now with the battery out of the way I intend to postion my air filter right where my headlight goes, as seen below..


Now keep in mind the piping is not definatly final I may attempt to get some nice smooth aluminum piping in place of it. I am not sure if doing that is worth the bother though.

Heres a pic of how my car looks with the filter sitting right behing my headlight..



I am thinking of making a permanent setup with my fiter right behind the headlight. I can easaly box it in and make a CAI out of it. Or well atleast it will be colder air.

Well tell me what you think, the goal here is to hit 13.6 all motor remember..

Haha $500 to race you. with the option of getting as many races as I want I take it you dont have NOS.. If your NA your crazy becuase you know you will go down hard. So this means your either full of it(my guess) or you have a SC or Turbo, I dont know about you.. Hell most of the people here dont even know your real name not to mention whats under your hood

But hey the freindly race offer still stands, I dont race for money..
