Gentlemen and Ladies,
I know, its been quite awhile since I was on here. Ski season will do that to a person. Also, attempting to buy the needed photo/computer also kinda breaks the bank. So, now, I am just saying screw it, the Rav needs a present.
So on with the question.
Firstly, Drifter, you got your Secret Weapon yet? Was curious on performance. It is a front runner on the list (actually the only one at this point).
Really the question comes to isolating the air source for the intake. Since I am leaving it NA and only doing minor mods (in a year it should be a winter/hauling only vehicle) I am doing a CAI first. The plan is to get a secret weapon with a ram air kit, then mount the ram's intake spot next to the headlight exactly where the stock kit is placed. For those of you not in the know, there is a gap between the hood and headlight that air passes trough, this is where the stock intake is grabbing air.
Now then, I have friends who do metal work, so I plan to build a small box or sleeve to isolate this air. No plans drawn up yet, this is still theoretical. I need to go look inside the bay again to make sure it works even in theory.
Sound good?
I know the first thing mensa will prolly ask is why I don't mount it in the splash gaurd. I just don't trust it. I live in an area where snow can easily get to the level of my hood. The stock position worked just fine. It seems to get decent air (why else would toyota use it?). The other thought is underneath the headlight. Replacing it with a black mesh. Thoughts?
