prototype ram-charger airbox
here is my new ram-charger ram-air setup i am working on. the air is force feed into the motor through the hood scoop. no more turns, no more heat soak, and no more restrictions. the straightest, shortest path for air to enter the motor. here is a peek at the airbox.

How about the air senser? Is it going to work properly in such an open box? Is the air senser needed with a super chip setup? Would the air senser get a more accurate reading if you designed the box so the back of it is a bit more forward from the intake? Then the intake fitting that is behind the box could be designed to place the air senser inside the feeding tube rather then in the box? I hope I am making sense!!

i haven't tested it yet. i still need to modify the underside of the hood. the air temp sensor is fine where it is. by moving the sensor closer to the inlet where the air is cooler, this can give you two or three more degrees of timing. in theory, this is the perfect setup.
these pictures are of the test fitting. the filter in the test is not the actual filter. i have one comming from K&N made to fit this airbox.

That is a good concern. With the original setup you said you never had a problem with the rain. To my surprise after installing my hood, I too, have had no problem with rain water getting into the intake. With your new setup, I again would be concerned about the rain. I am curious on how you will prevent water from getting into the filter and intake. I think you are a mechanical genious! I'm sure you will figure that out as well. I still think it is a great intake system, Good Luck!

the rain water will over shoot the filter and drain out through a small hole on the underside of the hood. i haven't modified the underside of the hood yet. once i do, i will post pictures to show you what i am thinking about doing there. i don't think rain will be a problem, but someone throwing a bucket of water in the scoop would be catastrophic to the motor.

Go for it dude. That is awesome. You're on to something I have been thinking of for a while. Only problem is I don't have the enginuity. Everything you have done so far has been quality and I like your mod-style. I am sure this will come out 1st class.
Keep up the good work and sell me the first production model. Rock on!!!
