: How "functional" would it be?
NoLmit-B13 02-13-2009, 01:34 AM Okay so i want to eventually push all i can with the VE once more money starts rolling in, but this would be for na de motors also...
You guys might say im thinking too far but ive been cleaning my engine bay tonight thinking of stuff to do with it, and came up with this idea...
What if, you took an ARC induction box, and if you picture B13 or NX, the back edge of the battery tray, have it line up right around that area...(battery would be relocated)
Then took a z32 scoop, placed right behind the driver headlight, then take your hood, cut out peicies of sheet metal to match the arc box up to the scoop....yes i know i could of just said ram air lol
I mean it wouldnt be that hard.
cut the 2 sides of the curve, cut the length of it, and just bend it for the curve, tack it together, and fill the edges with silicone.
It wouldn't show dyno results. but what speed would it actually become functional. Or would it not at all?
this is what happens when you get laid off, you get very bored.

it could actually show dyno results being that air is blown against the front end from the fan and depending on the angle and number of fans some air could be blowing directly into that scoop.
i would say it would become functional at around 40-45mph?
being a highschool student you get very bored also
add in anti anxiety meds, anti depressants, and a hyperactive mind and you get really pointless ideas.
NoLmit-B13 02-13-2009, 01:45 AM well im 19 and was working 50+ hours a week to help out my mom before i get into school, now laid off...
BORED AS HELL
+ im doing good at this whole having to pass a drug test if i get an interview crap.
n1smojunkie 02-13-2009, 01:46 AM Cool idea. Dont really understand the drawing though :rofl:
NoLmit-B13 02-13-2009, 01:48 AM lol well the left is the placement of the scoop..
then the other would be if your looking at the setup from the passenger side.
you see where it would go down in the batteries location, and straight into the induction box
lol i kinda see where your coming from though..

ouch i dont see why they would lay off a person working that much... i would understand cutting the hours but laying off seems a little extreme.
lol atleast you would pass without questions as to why you have several controlled substances on the results :rofl:
i didnt understand the drawing fully either but i didnt really want to be the one to say it lol
why dont you just do what alot of honda guys do and pull a headlight and replace it with one of those plastic headlight fillers with the funnel thing in it (yea i called it a funnel thing... my memory is kinda f*cked from meds)
n1smojunkie 02-13-2009, 02:04 AM A lot of people are being laid off these days. Unfortunately. I just got my hours cut back an s load. Sucks. Im also 19 and trying to go to school and now I am effed over as far as money goes. Sorry to thread jack.
i think 300zx turbo scoop would work better

z32 = 300zx
