Air Intake (headlight cover)

[icer]

I know there made by cWest but where can i get it by itself not with a full body kit?

[STL240SX]

you can find it on www.erebuni.net

under 240sx, at the bottom of the page, near the hoods.

thanks man

if not, i've seen it on enjukuracing.com as well

Do these provide useful?? Besides just looking all nice..does it actually take in air??

[misnomer]

####, I don't even like how it looks. Breaks up the symettry. I'd imagine it'll feed some colder air to the filter, but it's a purdy small hole. . .

Do yourself a favor and get it from autoimaging.com

[transient]

If you've got a short ram intake, it will definately help get some cooler air to it. Stock Airbox or CAI wouldn't be helped at all though...

[S13Grl]

Autoimaging. Definitely. Or, instead of getting that for $90, get the CAE for $89 from Enjuku Racing. It's more effective, if you ask me.

[transient]

I dunno... I'd actually bet that the headlight cover would be more effective at higher speeds...

[BlankFlip]

nebody else have opinions on this? i'd like to hear some before I get the CAE which is what i was planning on doing as of now.

[S13Grl]

I think a CAE will come in more handy at all times. The same amount of air will hit the headlight as the bottom air duct: the only difference is that the amount of air coming through the bottom will be cooled as opposed to the C-West thing. But, to each his own: whatever floats your boat, guys! I still cast my vote for the CAE over the fancy headlight cover!

[ca18guy]

If you ask me they throw of the symetry of the car o much and isn't really big enough to make that much of a difference.

Thanks!

i've looked into it a little more and i don't c ne reason why the CAE would not be the better choice, i'm still gonna go w/ that now. what do ya'll think of hood scoops on a turbocharged engine?

[ca18guy]

Which cars? Most scoops on turbo car's serve a purpose.

[BlankFlip]

ne hood scoops that r on a turbo car that wasn't there originally stock. i realize it's more air flow n keeps everything cooler, depending on where the scoop(s) are, but what r ya'lls opinion on them? do u like them? how big of a difference can they make?

[BlueSix]

I have a JUN hood and when my car is idling, I can feel hot air pouring out of the vents, I am sure that at speed, wind flowing over them creates negative pressure and pulls even more hot air outta the engine bay... I'm pretty sure there is a positive effect, just no idea how much..

[IceTekGuy]

bomex has the headlight covers with the vent also...

[wav399]

I do not think that headlight cover is much use other than aethetics.  Because there is some black panel that sits in the way behind the headlight which would block any air coming from the headlight.  

[S13Grl]

I think the panel sits underneath the light. But still, a CAE will bring you more power regardless... I keep repeating myself <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

What about people that can't get the CAE?

[ca18guy]

It was designed for car's with a CA or a SR, in those engine's the intake is right behind the opening. I don't know where the KA's intake sit's, is it near that opening ?

[transient]

My intake is fairly close to the headlight. It's not RIGHT behind it, but I think it's close enough that it would benefit.

[wav399]

That makes sense CA18guy. &nbsp;

[S13Grl]

Sits about seven inches back from the headlight. If even that far. I still think it's more cosmetic than beneficial.
