is there any intake on top of the cowl in any of youres?
i want to have a ram air effect too
so i want to mount a scoop on the cowl that leads to a tube going to the motor

 

[93cc7.3]

mine no it has made a huge diffrence with sound and running cooler the way it works is in the cowl area behind the hood and at the base of the windshield when at speed a low pressure pocket is formed and the high pressure area push the low presure pocket into the cowl.....

i might try a scoup that clips onto the cowl so i can remove it when i want

NICE!!!! But be careful with ram air and cowl scoops.....if air gets forced in, so can water.....and water in a diesel is just ASKING for a bent rod!!

I think I'm gunn do this today

 

[88beast]

well one id have a drain at the bottom allowing water to drain out it will be moist air but not water
also the low pressure area i knew about but also there is air flow there and i want space for an intercooler sometime so the typical ram air wouldnt work

Your cowl aRea has drains built in and I made my intake have a tube that extends into the cowl a few inches off the bottom of the cowl. I was worried about wate but haven't had an issue

The cowls have water drains and stock air filter housings have water drains as do ATS turb o air filter housings . I was a bit concerned at first, then I ran pulling my carhauler through the most insane frog strangler I've ever been in where it was coming down so hard big trucks were down to 15mph on the interstate and most had pulled over due to lack of visibility, and I kept on plugging and when I got in , I right off the bat pulled the air cleaner open to see if there was any water in there and it was bone dry, so I'm not the slightest bit worried about water. Only thing you have to really keep in mind is heavy snow. If it's going to be snowing enough to block it off, you need to pop the hose off or you will be drawing air from inside the cab and your heater won't work ( the vacuum from that engine sucks a heck of a lot harder than that poor little squirrel cage fan can fight against for air when the main supply gets cut off so it has to come from somewhere )

I really love my hypermax setup. If you try to make your own, the biggest problem I see will be matching teh shape on the firewall. It's not flat there. I'm sure it can be done with sheetmetal and a lot of sillyscum to take up the irregularities. THe preformed plastic piece that Hypermax has makes it all so nice and simple.

ya i got around this issue by drilling a 4 inch hole in the cowl with a hole saw then putting a slightly smaller than 4 inch tube in the hole with a lip on the outside to seal it off then filled in with some high temp silicone

Also it will suck snow into the turbo, ask me how i know if its gonna snow un hook it, but like said rain is not an issue

Made a difference in the sound how? Any butt-o-meter differences on an NA motor?

 

[93cc7.3]

Sound .. it gives alittle deeper intake note so I lowered the exhaust note alittle... some may not notice but I'm a pro audio tech so my hearing is really good. Butt-O-meter tells me its slightly more torque takes alittle less throttle to get to speed!

I'm so doing this tomm right after the lift pump. A lil quiter exhaust note hey? I can deal with that. tourqe is good to but I have truck loads of that right now.
