Hey guys!
So I was thinking about a crazy idea for a short ram setup and I wanted to see what you all thought about it.
I was considering a short ram intake with the filter placed inside of some type of sealed enclosure that would pull air from the drivers side vent on a Z3 fender.
So is this crazy or what?
Thanks for your input!
You'd be better off to make one that pulls air from the cowl area where there's already a high-pressure zone. It was really common in the Miata crowd to drill a 2-3" hole in the firewall right below the cowl and have the intake come from there, worked better than most the short rams and cold airs for the car.
Now that I think about it, maybe I'll do that to mine lol.

i have actually been planning a hood scoop that led to the air intake,
like a tunnel going from the scoop to the filter

I've started to realise the best way to go about this is to use the factory air box with a high flow, drop in panel filter, hack off the 2.75" port on the lid and with your plastic welding skills replace that with a 3" port and use a stainless or alluminum short ram pipe in place of the old rubber hose.
Remove your underbelly plastic covers to reveal another resonator box, unbolt it and rip out this resonator box and connect the 2 ports of the stock air box inlet which come in from behind the fuse box to a ram air scoop behind your front bumper (probably using your plastic welding skills again.)

I would also suggest replacing the baffled portion of the stock pipe with smooth metal pipe.
just an idea???
