Intake Air Temperatures

There is not much to look at with the Cobb silicone tubes as they are just round tubes that replace the factory corrugated ones. The fang block off plates were removed to make room for Blinder 27 laser jammer transceivers that I attached to the aluminum bumper. I just left the fang area open to let in more air.

so how are those jammers working? Do they jam all the freqs? And can the cops tell if you are using one?

notice any power increase with the tubes or better throttle response?

Also does removing the fang block out plates do anything to aero effects of the car? Allowing more air sounds like a good idea as long as it doesn't make the car less stable at higher speeds.

Question: was it easy to get the fangs removed from the front fascia? I'd love to remove mine. Does it require to remove the whole front fascia?

I just removed my vent covers last night. All i did was drive the car up on ramps, remove the cover underneath the engine (a whole bunch of 10mm screws), then i was able to take a little 10mm wrench and loosen the two screws per side and take them the rest of the way out by hand. So it's possible without removing the bumper. FYI, i have smaller arms and hands, so i was able to manuaver up there pretty easy. Once the two screws are out you still have to kind of snap them out of the grill, scared me a bit, but it was no big deal.

Cool! I'm going to try to remove the inlets today. Will water that gets sucked up be able to flush out the bumper area? Any chance of water getting into the air filter?

Just removed the fang covers - it was a breeze. I believe it will help in cooling the engine, but will not add much cooler air to the area where the intakes get their air from. The area between the fang openings and intake area is separated by a rubber flap, presumably to keep water out. I will leave that flap there for now. And I answered my own questions I asked earlier today.

Well...this won't help in cooling the engine as it really needs no help and is regulated by the thermostat. These engines run pretty cool (water temp) actually at 180 degrees. Opening the fang vents should provide a little air to the Airbox intakes. There is no "Flap" so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. Water is NOT an issue. If you really want to improve things, connect the fang vents with the Pass through to the airbox for some forced cool air. DIY here: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...ur-airbox.html
