Cowl Air?

[82fordtruck]

Has anyone figured out a way to get cowl air instead of underhood air?

Pictures?

Much discussion Here & Here

I don't mean a hood scoop - what about pulling air from the part in front of the windshield. That is the cowl, isn't it? Am I calling it the wrong thing?

 

[JohnBoyToo]

Won't it be negative pressure there and PULL air from underhood up the windshield ???

 

[tuckerd1]

You are calling it right. I think we discussed both in those topics.

Hypermax sells a cowl intake that connects to the stock air cleaner.

hypermax makes a unit that draws air from just above the brake booster, its very noisy without a turbo but it does work. with a turbo all you get is whistle. ive also noticed with mine that the filter doesnt get nearly as dirty as it does with the stock intake tube (15k+ and it still looks clean)

 

[82fordtruck]

I have a turbo....

I emailed hypermax, so we'll see. Do you have any picturs of yours - I could not see it there. Do you cut holes in the wall? The hypermax site said you didn't have to, I can't see how that works...

wrong-
the cowl area is a high pressure zone. Its the same place that your vent and defroster air is drawn from. If it was low pressure, your cabin would not get fresh air.

I gotta know, where do I get one of those stickers!!?? Thats awesome!

Huff can probably get you one of those Hypermax items if you want it.

 

[82fordtruck]

Is Huff a Hypermax dealer?

They sent a pic, but I can't attach it, so let me know if you want it. It's really the same stuff on their website.
Here's what they told me:

The cowl comes with everything needed to install it. Comes with the hose,
just tell us it is a ford factory kit so we can get you the correct hose.
You just simply cut a hole in the firewall and screw the duct to it and
connect the hose. The duct is plastic as is the flexible hose.

Thanks
