1990 F250 Ram air design

I think this is an awesome idea, and I have something else to add to this. Mind you this is just one of those ideas you get when your around your friends and your goofing off, but what if you placed two little fans within the pipes and they turned with the air making them "fan" more air into the tubes and through the throttle body? If that could work, could that not be considered real "Ram Air???"

It is indeed a cool looking set-up and very creative. In terms of any actual advantage contributed to a "ram" effect, take a look at the following link. You can choose to believe it or not. One thing your setup will definitely do is help provide a cool source of air. I do think you should build it just for the "cool" factor!

And I will eventually build it, Ive got other things to take care of first, but of course once I get all the parts and fabricate it, I will post pictures and a list of supplies. It will definitely look cool

The idea is to get colder air. As stated in an earlier reply...your motor will only take it as much as it needs. Turbos (exhaust driven) and Superchargers (belt driven) are a different story... little fans will do nothing, if anything, the vaccum of your motor will make them spin quicker tha it can on its own! hahaha. you want instant power? get urself a 50 shot dry nitrous system, that'll give you cold air alright without a ram air! colder air molecules burn better and faster!

You just flick the switch when you want it, and flick it off when you don't! If it's against the law to drive around with a bottle.....then dun tell them you got it! Back in the day we used to take our spare tire out of the compartment and mount the bottle there, then cover it back up with the trunk matt. Then we would tap the line in under behind the intake pipe, then wrap the braided feed line with electrical tape and WHALLA!!! they would never suspect a thing!! hahaha. Miss those days....... Let us know how it works out for you bro. i would love to see the outcome. Cheers...

If the filters have to be small this idea won't work too well. Oh yeah, Spectre filters are not anything I would buy.
Water isn't a problem for the I6/460 tube, so I don't see it being an issue here.
I like the idea of getting air from the cowl. There is a diesel setup that does that. Someone on here has it, but I forget what the thread is called. I think its made by Hypermax or something like that.
