would anyone buy a Racing intake type headlight housing for the civic? I may manufacture some tha have the same shape and will have a funneled in design that passes through. You would have to relocate the battery to the trunk so that you could place the filter ot ducting directly behind the opening. would you rather this be a street legal one with say a projector in the housing? or just a straigt race application. any ideas welcomed.

i saw one member on here that has it..
but it would be better to have it street legal since most of the people here are daily drivers..
I would try it out

wow thats prettymuch what i was thinkin...hehe... i guess you can sneak some piping in there.. wonder if he has a filter on that tho somewhere?

doesnt look like it.. that would be one fall back..
I would think you would have to remove the battery for a filter, (i have no idea)
plus I dont know how the cops are, they might nag about that one head light.

i'd go for that...would you make it so you could do custom piping for a turbo etc? which side would it be? because if someone swaps a k20 and wants one i would imagine the drivers side would probably be a better side for one of those...but on the stock civics the passenger side would be better...

yea.. im not sure if cops will hassle you.. was gunna see about putting lights in it, or at least keeping the turn signals perhaps. i will do the first design for the stock motor likely and have a fitting after the housing..so if you have turbo piping to hook to it ETC you can.....i suppose customs could be made for swap applications. may have to make one for our swap car anyway

I'd buy it if you could make it legal, or at least appearing legal.

ya turn signals would be needed in the headlight to make it legal...you dont HAVE to have a headlight during the day....i mean i see tons of cars around here with only one headlight working...i guess it depends on where you live on how strict the cops are...but turn signal is needed

if u read about his ram air headlight in the other treads....he states that he has a mesh filter thing in the pipe to keep the air clean of bugs and such

I'm interest in one. Do you have an idea on the price?

 
Rep Power: 0

I would not want one just cause it looks goofy and would not do that much good until you were at highway speeds and on the 7th gens would not do much anyway.

 
Rep Power: 0

saw his post.. i personally would ratther have some filter VS wire mesh... ithink most others would agree

I wonder if theirs room to run the intake right behind the upper grill? That'd be sweet and still totally leagal.
Just a though, don't know if it's feasable.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

im tryin to explose some other options liek that as well.. stay tuned

right in front of the headers ..

 
Rep Power: 413

That would be killer to get one that replaces the front upper grill. I would definatly get it.

 
Rep Power: 0

its a HEADER (singular) and nothing would run by the header......that would be pointless to heat the air

 
Rep Power: 317

yup i agree

Sounds interesting, but loosing your headlight is not an option for many people. A replacement grille with an integrated ram air would be kick ***! I would buy one if you made one. Plus have some sort of heat shield to keep the heat from saturating the intake ducting. That would be very nice.

I think guys it would be impossible to make a ram pass through your grill beacuse the radiator fan blocks the passage way for the tubing. I think you can make one pass through your fenders or your bumpers youll just need a long rubber tubing, clamps and that circular that is used in making a subwooferbox- the thing that is the passage way of the speakers air coming out when it boom booms, got it?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Guys you could do this stuff without spending $$$ just your imagination and creativity. Ill give you a sample ok More HP to everyone!!!!!!!!

WE can customize a headlight RAm air with a projector

well good for you!....... can you do it as a swealed unit with a plastic tranparent front cover like a oem light? with a funneled in front?

ram air doesn't really work unless you're travelling at a constant speed and a high speed at that. even if you could travel at 100+ mph all the time, you'd still have to do some serious scientific calculations to determine how the system would be designed to actually benefit the performance of the vehicle.

remember also that our cars can only flow so much air at any given time. a simple CAI will provide more than enough and at an ambient or lower temperature.
