i remember seeing a front bumper (looked stock) with a hole cut out were the air would pass strait to a popcharger or a short intake similar to it.

Does anyone have and info on cutting that hole in your front bumper or mabey a kit for a finishing piece to make it not look so tacky?

and info would be appretiated

 

I saw an RX-8 with something similar. The hole was off-center which I thought took away from the symmetry and made the whole car look unbalanced, but it might not look so bad on a Z....

 

The part you are looking for is the "Mines air intake".....big dollars

 

that is a bit scary i would think. what happens when it rains hard and you are driving on the freeway? the rain will fly right into the air filter.

 

id imagine the rain would come right in....i wouldn't do it...i have to drive my car in the rain sometimes so i went with the JWT just to make sure and im loving it....best mod by far...

i dont know a conversion kit off hand...but im sure they make one somewhere..Either way, if your going to go thru the trouble of cutting you would have to mold the front anyway. So i dont think it would look sooo tacky. As a last resort you could buy the greddy front bumper. I think it would allow for a nice ram air setup. You could probably make a plug for rain days.

 

That kit is made by stillen. It has the notch cut out for the intake.

 

i knew that just makin sure u were paying attention.

 

A little rain wont hurt the intake. As long as the filter is not submerged it will be fine. An engine can handle a little water. Dont forget, A by product of combustion is water!

 

Both the INGS and C-West bumpers have holes in them.

 

c-west also has sells a separate air duct. a bit "cleaner" than the mines..
