Ram air - Page 2

XtremE,
The WS6 does not have cowl induction. BTW have you ever looked at the WS6 ram air, the system is not sealed. There is not all that much "ramming" going on. I think the hp come from the fact that the air is a little cooler from that set up.

The WS6 has a better exhaust on it as well as the ramair hood (as compared to a regular TA). The additional horsepower isn't all hood/ramair.

The Brian Green ramair kit (for a WS6) seals up the airbox to the hood and reduces 1/4 mile times by 0.1 seconds.

It would help your acceleration slighty by making your wallet lighter.

so forced induction does nothing preformance wise at all..?

I think you mean ram air induction.

A CAI is better.

these are some older pics of my scoop if you search b15forums you can find some more just search for hood scoop

yea sorry thats what i meant.....i got turbo on the brain!!!!!

I have a injen cai ...now say i hooked up some type of system to ram the air into the injen filter in my bumper...and only into the filter....can i atleast gain a couple of points on my power rating ...or is this something that should be left to be tested...?

Well, I don't know.

But if you read some of the earlier posts in this thread you'll get some ideas. Morepower2 wrote a couple posts that specify what must be done to create a workable system.

it seems that what your talking about is also reffered to as CAI.
(putting the air filter in the bumper) but i may be wrong

"CAI "indicates nothing about where the cool air is drawn other than it's not warm underhood air.

"Ram air" says nothing about where air is drawn other than it is from a high-pressure zone.

Sentra CAIs use the fender space ahead of the left front wheel and behind the lower bumper cover.

A Sentra Ram Air system would need to draw air from the front of the car, dead center of the bumper being best. Since it's outside air, it would also be a CAI.

thanks for clearing that up know i know whats what. But seriously if you travel at more than 20mph isnt there a breeze in the engine comp.? I mean, first the filter is pointing away from the hot areas and also the breeze would be cool just like the outside right? SO i dont see how ram air CAI could make that much of a difference(sure maybe if it was tweaked right)

bahearn · Sep 18th, 2002, 02:33 PM

Moving air is at lower pressure than still air.

Most of the air entering the engine compartment has passed over the radiator.

Need I say more?

smithsil · Sep 18th, 2002, 03:25 PM

what can i say bahearn, you know it all. lol.

But still i dont think the temp is much different by the filter than it is outside. Maybe if your idling. Wouldnt you want more air pressure, that is thicker air, more dense ,not less pressure. BTW i would be willing to bet that there aint no still air in the engine comp. if your moving. You do have a point about the radiator though.
