Adriank Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Are these worth it, do they help with lower intake temps? 2 types available it seems: Normal just duct: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-3 ... ccessories Duct with tubing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-05-Ni ... ccessories Which would be best with a pop charger? Or is it best to not bother? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Personally I'm not really a fan of those ducts, because I think it spoils the look of the bumper. Unless it's moulded in like on the Ings+1 front bumper, those ducts don't really do it for me, but this is purely on aesthetics. Quote
BladesGrant Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 If you don't want to affect the look by putting in a duct but still get the cold air, use a scoop that goes just behind the grill like the K&N Typhoon. Gives you the same effect as the duct but without having to cut out your bumper. Quote
Adriank Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 I dont mind the looks of them, i'm just interested to know if they actually do anything for the temps or not? Quote
dcash5 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I think they are more designed for Turbo applications and to give the idea of the Ram affect (minimal really). Ive always been told the best cooling aid is a vented bonnet but Im not basing this on any science more hearsay Quote
Ian Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Not sure how it effects the temps, I never had my scangauge before getting it fittted. I do know that the ARC intake runs cooler than both the popcharger & OEM box. Theres not a lot tempurature wise between the 3 but I found that the OEM box had the highest temps Quote
Adriank Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks guys, the reason im inrterested now is i noticed at combe that after a session when getting back the pop charger itself and the air in that corver were VERY hot, if a duct will help it ill get one. Anyone got a recomendation on which of the above might be best? Adrian Quote
martinmac Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I have the top one and its pretty easy to fit. Well it looked easy as I watched. Quote
nurrish Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I have the top one and its pretty easy to fit. Well it looked easy as I watched. Is there anything that you have fitted yourself I have 2 bumper vents in mine and a vented bonnet and my temp gauge sits at just over quarter of the way then having been in ians16's car his temp gauge sits at 3 quarters Quote
