Has anyone attempted to make a ram air forced induction setup? I was considering it. It seems like it would be better than a CAI because if you run it from just under (or in your bumper) you would be getting cold air and ramming down your engine. I've also heard that if properly setup you can get a couple of psi out of it.

Cold air has a much greater effect than ram air. You can only get a few mm/hg, not psi even with the best ram air boxes. It is still better than nother though.
Yeah I know but if you run some kind of custom work and you are bringing air in from the same location with some type of ram wouldn't you get the best of both worlds? You would still get the same cold air but you would have more velocity to it.

well my friend
just get the CAI
look how it is located in my B13
so baiscally air is forced there also by the fog light hole
i keep the foglight whole covered cause the fitler gets water spalshed directly onto it and i dont wanna risk anythin

To really ram it, it needs to be inclosed and air tight towards the rear, I found in testing.
Mike,
Explain towards the rear, are you saying like old cowl induction on muscle car where the hood scoop pointed backwards(depends on your point of veiw)towards the winshield?

No the airbox must be sealed. Just having the filter where moving air can blow on it is not ram air.
just for kicks you could mount a older z turbo hood scoop on your hood and mount filter into it...and to really make it "ram" just enclose it under the hood...
the scoop it self seems to make enough umphf(SP?)...and has a wicked sound to it...
if you would like a pic just email me...hehe..happy modding
