Ram air induction on a 2.7

Post by Gunta »

Has anybody ever done the ram air induction on a 2.7. I have done it on my SFA the same as Kaaspas. I have a mate that want to do it on his 2.7 any ideas out there.

Thys did it on Kaspaas. There is a thread on it somewhere.
Cut a hole in the firewall, which allows air to travel threw the hole via the the vents below your windscreen. :writing: :writing:

Mine also works like a charm, going up a certain hill I used to get just over a 100km/h and after I did it I go up there at 120km/h. So there is definitely a big difference. On the 2.7 the space is small and the ABS is in the way, so I was wondering if anyone has done it. Otherwise I might have to go through the wheel arch and then back in to bypass the ABS with a 70 mm flex hose.
