this week im collecting parts for a fender well intake on my 02 ss na. i have 6 feet of flex duct (4 in) so i can basically go anywhere. plan to make a heat sheild to help seal the fender a bit. any tips or would b helpful. and i was thinking of trying to duct a ram type job heading from the bottom kit. anybody ever had luck with that?

 

Never tried anything like that but i wish you the best of luck and keep us posted

 

I did a fender well intake on my 02 ss and I love it. Remove the whole stock airbox and get a zzp pcm tray or zip tie the pcm to the frame so It wont move around. Then route the air dict to the fender and put on your filter, I used K&N. Dont just sit the air filter on the fender or have it too low because sometimes water will collect there, Just use some zip ties and tie it to the frame of the car...

 

thanks for the tips. i was curious how low to go. i drove thru a foot of water recently and that made me really think about it. ha. i got a lil spectre on order. i prob wont do a vid but hopefully have pics after this weekend

 

Welcome and good luck.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

an old track guy told me i may hafta reprogram the Maf if it make a big enuff difference.. any truth to that or will disconnecting the battery take care of resetting for adjustments?

 

if just doing a FWI you should be ok without tuning. its one of the most common mods and the mod that got me hooked lol.

i dont suggest flex duct thought... use hard PVC or ABS plastic and if you need to bend use a rubber elbow. the flex tube will create turbulent air and slow air flow. smooth pipe is better.

 

I had exhaust pipe bent for mine, have yet to install it lol

 

i have many tubes and pieces at my disposal. i plan to keep the stock duct so i dont need to mess with the iat sensor and couple a triton v 10 air duct (nice oval to round fat tube) to that . it was a bend which will put my in the fender. gonna use hard battery shielding to make a flange to sumwhat seal the whole to the fender. i think it'd b a lotta fun to have a triton air tube on my chevy. just for kicks. we'll c how it fits or comes together tomo
