89eliminator Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 here is mine. its a 4.0, i think the intake setup is the same on 2.5s though. got it from Rustys offroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 here is mine. its a 4.0, i think the intake setup is the same on 2.5s though. got it from Rustys offroad. x2 but without any underhood matting... that's exactly what i have. sounds good, and can be cleaned. but its not REALLY a COLD air intake, and i doubt it gives much power if any.

89eliminator Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 i didn't notice the power change but i did notice the noise difference. when you really hammer on it, it has a deeper sound. plus i have a flowmaster muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxRacing282 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 a true "cold air" intake would be under the motor and in front of it, could also be placed in the wheel well (for sports cars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdesigns Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 a true "cold air" intake would be under the motor and in front of it, could also be placed in the wheel well (for sports cars). I think if its under the motor it would be classified as a ram air. If you wanted a cold air intake that was "truly" cold air and still go in water then a snorkel is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromanyak Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Here's mine. It's just generic filter and I used the intake kit from AutoZone. I think all in all it cost $25. Your right though. It's not a cold air intake. A cold air intake get's it's air from outside the engine bay. I honestly don't think it would be worth the effort to make true cold air intake though.

Mobius1 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Any one have pics of one on the 2.5L? Also and I don't mean to be the one to sound like a know it all, its actually called a Short Ram intake. I had one on my car unti I upgraded to a cold air intake. with the SRI you'll see a lil gain with the good old butt dyno but going with gains from the car club they say it helps a lot with more air going in thus more power and tourqe, not a lot like you would see with a CAI but a gain is a gain and in my mind every little bit will help.

Pete M Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Anything that pulls air from the engine compartment isn't "cold". In fact, the air under the hood of my 88 is downright hot. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 No pictures yet, just a plan of attack. I plan on building a cowl hood scoop using 2 hoods. I'll cut the scoop out of one hood and weld it to the other hood. One side will be for cold air intake and the other side will be for venting the underhood temps. I will run a divider down the length of the scoop. A box will be made to seal to the hood and contain the air filter. A small dam will be made to divert any rain water to drain holes in the front of the scoop on the intake side. I would also like to add 2 small vent on the front outside corners in between the braces. These will be in a low pressure area to help pull air threw the radiator at speed. and let out hot air when going slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be cool. It would still get hood vents. Too bad the M.O.R.E. motor mounts keep the engine from hardly moving. I like the look of a nice cowl scoop that is made with matching body lines.

beaterjeep Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have an idea as well, but I'm keeping that one a secret in case it fails miserably. I will say this one though, thankfully I have an extra header panel to test it out on. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 wow, that's a super impressive piece of work. if there was a way to have a direct funnel from the grill area or even a cutout in the fender, then seal the bottom edge of the box, you'd truly have a "cooler" air intake. as pete mentioned, unless you section off the intake with some sort of heat shield, you're gonna draw hot air. but with your setup, a couple extra steps, if you didn't already do so, and you would likely draw in air much cooler than just from the engine bay and gain some measurable performance. and, if your a serious wheeler, it looks like it would be a snap for you to build a second mandrel that shoots up through a spare hood and becomes a snorkel. that way, you'd have both on and off road performance. just a thought, like you need any with those kind of mad skillz!
