First Intake Through Headlight?

[m3f_m3s4me]

the low beam on my passenger side pointed a little higher than the drivers side. nothing i could do about that, but it was well worth it.





Oh yeah and two more things, I did the same with having an extra headlight to put in for inspection, ( if it's too much trouble to take out a headlight you might as well be driven around in a cab ) and my lense is still there the tube comes through it. M3s4me , if you took the lense off how did you make it so that the headlight didn't seem like it was way to far back into the car?

"Ram air" is air entering the intake manifold at anything higher than atmospheric. Formula 1 and Indy cars have ram air boxes that help, but they are consistently above 100 mph. The relationship between velocity and velocity pressure is as follows: velocity = 4005*(sqr rt (vel. pressure))



(100 mph) or 8800 feet/min = 4005*(sqr rt (vel. pressure))



velocity pressure added would equal 4.83" of water column pressure, which is equal to .174 psi. In other words, at 100 mph, the max gain possible is .174/14.7, or 1.2% in density, which would equate to 1.2% in HP. However, that is an ideal situation where the inlet has no loss. Picture a very gradual funnel on the whole front face of your car with no bends on the way to the filter and that would be close. Remember that your funnel, air filter box need to be positively sealed to hold the positive pressure.



however, a 10 degree F drop in intake air temperature, say from 90 to 80, results in a 2.2% increase in density, and therefore a 2.2% increase in power.



mr science

Nothing is truly "ram air" until it is at supersonic speeds (see: scramjets) until that point you will never be going fast enough to build a positive pressure or get any noticeable power gain. Its just a great marketing ploy.

Did you take the lenses of both of the lights?? What I meant by to far back is the lense comes out a good inch to inch and a half from the back of the light. When I thought of taking it totally of I figured there would be a big gap between the bumper and the light itself. Also, did you break the lense off? I tried getting it off by using a razor knife and then sliding a wire around to break the seal but I could only get it to go along the long sides (top and bottom of light). Thanks for the info :thumbsup: :nixweiss:
