Hey all,
After seeing some of the home brew and commercial kits for setting
up ram-air on a Dak, I have the following question:
Has anyone ever considered a design where the air intake is located
immediately in front of the windshield? I can see two benefits
to this:
- the intake is located in a high pressure zone (juncture of
the hood and windshield) that is well protected from
sucking up bugs/rocks/mud/slow ferds n' chebbys/whatever.
This would also help keep your mod subtle, as you won't have
funny nostrils poked through the hood for all to see (just
a small bulge over the rear center of the hood) :-)
- the throttle body is so close to this location anyway, such
a design would lend itself nicely to an FABM-type setup
without having to create homespun intake shrouds and
running a quarter mile of dryer hose :-)
Granted, you'd have to be able to accomodate 10" and 14" FABM
kits, but a single hood design should be able to handle that.
Comments? Suggestions? Anyone seen these around already?
Have fun,
--
