I was wonderin if anyone knos how to make a custom ram air kit for a 96 v6 camry. Any advice or suggestions will be glady taken
Thanx
Not to flame or anything, but what is the point of a ram air kit? It's not gonna be functional unless you're going 0.5mach and that's like the speed of sound. Get a cai.,
Umm, how practical is the location for that filter in our climate!!??? Especially in the winter and early spring?! That's what turned me of a CAI. I decided to go with a short Ram intake and a heat shield. You can pipe in cold air from the front grill then.
Actually with that pipe diameter I'm pretty sure that the aem bypass valve will fit. And also down there throw a splashguard on or something and you got no probs, just stay away from that ram air bullshit.

The fender liner would of covered up the filter and acted as a splashguard but, I cut off a part of it so the filter would get more air.
I live in California and it doesn't rain all that much here so i'm not really worried about the filter getting wet. I've gone through little puddles without any problems. Besides I can always take off a section of the pipe and put the filter back under the hood.

The AEM bypass valve only works when the filter is SUBMERGED in water.

Wrong Jeff it actually works ina all conditions, it prevents water from getting into the engine
allow me to explain how the aem bypass valve works... it contains a bunch of rubber flaps that are normally open in most conditions... however, when a complete vacuum is created (i.e. water is completely blocking the path of air), airflow is completely stopped and therefore it will suck the rubber flaps inward, sealing the intake and thus keeping the water out... so well, you would pretty much have to submerge the entire air filter before it would work... i guess if you managed to find a way to create a complete seal of water inside the intake without completely submerging the filter, that would work too...

Actually i think Jeff is right. The by-pass valve only closes when a vacuum is created and that can only happen if the filter is submerged. Read SCC Volume 13 No 4, page 84. Its all there :smile:
imagine a thick straw... (like those bbt straws, hahahah) it has rubber flaps inside... and you are sucking air through...
in normal air pressure when you suck, you are not sucking hard enough to cause the flaps to close, because airflow is not interrupted... and also, you are sucking air from the air around you... i.e. you are sucking a lot more air
now, put that straw into a cup of coconut milk tea or whatever, because the other end of the straw is sealed, the air you are sucking is now reduced to the volume of the straw... which is much smaller than what you were before, so the velocity is higher even though it has the same amount of "sucking" force, which is enough to also "suck" the rubber flaps inwards to their seals, keeping the water out...

Funny if it works tha way then what the f*** is the point of it? It still makes no sense to me and I shall choose to be ignorant and think that it works the way that I said. :smile:
Don't argue with me I'm really stubborn.
