Got a lawn mower grass chute?

ZacSquatch · Dec 23, 2007

Boo-Yaa...

Found one in our shed, and I got a light bulb idea... Upgrade my "cold air" intake...

Originaly just had a cold air tube and had it mounted with a cone filter on the end...

Now I have my filter in the grass chute and I have it pointed so air that comes through the rad. and next to it. Eleminates a lot of hot engine air.

GHETTO AND LOVIN IT!!!

sweeeet. Mine's a cut up wax cardboard box

anyone ever think of doing this?

i was thinking of cutting a hole there, if you look behind the valence it's pretty much a straight shot to the engine bay. If you could fab up some sort of "chute" you could get a pretty intense flow of air going through at the top of the front fascia.

Then if you go through lots of water or mud then there is also a straight shot into your intake. Or if your cruising down dirt roads behind someone you just getting all sorts of dust in there. I guess if you just do rocks than it would be good. But at least the other was it has to work to get in there.

WTF?? I beleive the filter does that... same as any stock filter would... this even eliminates a lot of splash from underneith that I was experiencing.

No he was talking about what I posted... I wasn't saying ram air straight shot. something like this from the side. It would just force a lot of cool air into the engine bay.

ya i wasnt talking about your mower deal. I was talking about having the intake rite in front. Was just sayin that it would open it up to get a lot nore junk in there than you would want.

As for the mower deal, hey it would be a heat shield and its a good idea. The bigger trucks such as silverado's, have a box set up around the actual cone to act as the same heat deflecting shield.

OK?

I used a 2.5 galon water jug for my cold air scoop. Same kind of principal you have. It keeps the hot radiator air off the filter.

the ram-air thing would probably see the best results on the street.

yeah, you could always make a cool jet fighter engine plug type thing to stuff in it when you went off roading.

I was even thinking about an afterburner and a ejecting canopy as well

I once installed a flux capacitor but decided it added too much power so I sold it at the Jockey Lot.
