Im in the process of making a different kind of ram air. I see people running cold airs and whatnot to the outside of their cars 24/7 but one thing i do notice is the fact that they never fail to always have a very long tube from their filter to their TB ( which 90% of the time is alluminum). Thus im overly confident that within the time the air is sucked in it becomes hot before reaching the TB. So i Concluded that if i were to run a Short ram, build a fibreglass, air tight container for the filter, and run some non metal piping as far away from the motor as possible connected from the air box to the outside of my car with a funnel like end ( and a water filter somewhere throughout for rain), my car will be pulling in colder air since the only hot metal that the air has to pass through is a short ram. VS. a cold air where the air must travel longer through a hot tube. ( so in a nutshell the cold air from outside travels through a non heated tube until it reached the filter. then it travels through 8 inches of hotter pipe to the TB) I know this all seams like it will be ghetto, but i have already started and fibreglass can be cleaned up nicely . Does anyone think i will get even a small gain power wise from this? Also since the box is air tight and the air has nowhere to go but the filter would i be forcing too much air into the motor?
