Yet another "fogged" intake idea.

[the tech]

I read the write up on the "fogged" intake, sounds like a very good theory. I am trying something similar, however I'm going to relocate my horns, close off the intake on the side of the box and make a new one on the front behind the headlight, then run the pipe down where the horns previously lived. I have though about it and my theory is moving the intake to the front will move it farther away from heat sources such as the radiator and engine.

What are your thoughts on this? Would it be worth the effort?

also: Will this work with apexcone/depo projector headlights, as I am not familiar with how deep they are.

sounds kinda like a cold air intake with fogged box in mind

yes it will work i did the same thing as ur talking about its a good mod and its cheap

I'd do it, it would suck air from the same spot my CAI does and that's worked out pretty well for me

My Fogged intake comes in front the front and lives behind the fog light so its nice cool air being sucked up...But why bother closing off the original pipe? Its bringing i cold air just not enough of it...Leave the original there as it is and just add the new one.. My opinion and what iv done anyways

Why does everyone toss around the term "fogged" so freely?

When I think "fogged" I think of one of two things:

1. Nitrous Oxide injected
2. An air-to-air intercooler with a fogger sprayer to further reduce the intake charge temperature.

What you guys are talking about is just a CAI. Is it because folks are routing it to their fog light provision that they nickname it so?

I'm splitting hairs here, that's all.

"fogged" refers to Shawn Fogg, who popularized this sort of inexpensive CAI.

Thankyou for saying that in a nice way. For some reason I was about to flame blondeweasel for...no reason at all haha.

[blndweasel]

Well sweet, that explains it. The fact that it's M44 specific jargon explains why I hadn't heard it in other circles before.

You were about to flame me?!? I'm glad you didn't take offense, because I tried to ask the question in a way that wasn't telling anybody they were wrong.

Although it would seem now that when someone refers to a "Fogged intake" they should be sure to capitalize the F as it is invoking a proper pronoun. WATCH OUT, grammar police in the house!

Hah I'm just grumpy cuz I recently got out of 5 hours of testing. I'm pretty sure everyone used to say Fogged, as it is a proper noun, but it's worn off...just like people type "oh god" ... you get the picture.

Something like this? I did it without about $7 in supplies from Lowes. Works great with Depos as the "gutter adaptor" I used jogs the intake over to the slits in the Radiator support just like the intake system on the M42 and 6 cylinder cars do.
