Today I was bored, so I made an IAC restrictor plate.. the car comes down much quicker when I let off the gas, and it idles lower as well

I also made a "boot leg ram air setup" lol

I was in my garage and i had a duct in there, so I put one end in the hole in my bumper next to the fog light, and ran the other end up the fender well by my intake!

lol

I also have an SCT Eliminator chip on the way!

let the begin!

Sweet! Thats good for at least 10rwhp for sure!

Kyle, let's make a cover for that hole in the bumper, and make some back to back runs at the track and see what the MPH is. It's worth a shot. Ram air's generally have not been that sucessful on these cars, but it is worth a shot

we should, just to see what she runs..

we dont have to make a cover, we can just push it back in the fender so it's not point at the intake anymore

I can't wait til i get that chip in there, it's gonna come with a "street" tune a "performance" tune and a "race" tune

KBExperience · May 11, 2010

oh and today after i did this, I put my leaf blower in the hole while it was idling, and the car started sputtering like it wanted to die.. why is this?

Not tuned properly for 'forced induction'. Intriguing idea with the ram air setup, but won't blocking off the IAC have a negative effect?

I thought about that too, but a leaf blower in the lower foglight opening doesn't exactly qualify as "forced induction". Its not like he had the blower blowing into the intake tube, he had it blowing into that ducting....which then blows against the filter. I doubt you'd see even 1psi in "boost".

Kilgore Trout · May 12, 2010

That hole in the bumper is for brake cooling.

I think your duct is pretty pointless.

Keep the leaf blower away from your car son do not be that guy...

the cold air kit grabs air from your fender so its cooler. By putting that pipe there you are just forcing everything from dirt to water in your intake. Your not the first human to ever think of this. If it did anything there would a million kits on ebay doing this

no, it's a very common mod, it just makes the hole smaller so the rpms drop quicker when you let off the gas

Skidzz · May 12, 2010

That's make-shift ram air kit is pretty cool haha. But I doubt it'll really do anything. Plus, what KT said: It's blocking the hole from cooling your brakes. But hey, I know what it's like to want to just DO SOMETHING to your car for the fun of it. Pretty cool idea.

The only way it really has a negative effect would be on a car like mine, where you have 4.10's and cams. I make most of my power at 3000+ RPM's. The "hanging" RPM's in stock form keep me in that range when I'm shifting. With this mod, the RPM's drop below this range when I shift, and the engine has to climb back up into the "sweet" spot, thus, actually slowing me down a little during "spirited" driving. This could be fixed by me just giving it gas through the shift to keep the RPM's up, but that's extra work and I'm lazy

Those holes do nothing to cool my brakes.. Lol and the holes wouldn't even be there if I still had my stock gt bumper

Your ram air would work better on the stock airbox if you cut the snorkle
the exact size of that duct pipe, then there would be no leakage.

hahahaaha

Might as well set up an intercooler for your leaf blower.

KBExperience · May 12, 2010

Maxpowers · May 12, 2010

no mine didnt even have a iac until yesterday, but i have 5 throttle body's to play with, i opened up the hole in the blade up a little, it drove like a fox really, i really like how it drives like that , but cold start ups, you would have to keep on the gas slightly until warm up..
