custom short ram

[megarock15]

hey i found a guy on here who is making cf parts so i started pondering hmm... what would be a cool one off thing i could do? and then i started thinking about the whale penis. the design of that intake is pretty unique. i cant find any of them any where, and they wont accomadate the location i want the filter be located. so i want to make a prototype of an improved whale penis. any thing i should think about while developing a prototype.

this will be my own creation not a knock off

Hmmm... sounds interesting lol

This is the first time I have heard of any car part being referred to as "Whale Penis"

Explain?

Thank you, sir!


I did a search and everyone talks about the whale penis, but that's the first picture.

You're welcome.
It's an interesting design, just a little too cumbersome.

yeah i have only come accross one other pic or maybe that was the one i saw

whaare some things i should keep in mind as far as form meets function
i would like to make this speccifficly for our cars

they work with our engines, you just have to get a smaller battery, move it to the trunk, or get a smaller battery and rest it on the cross member against the side. i plan on getting one soon. password jdm sells them for like 180 i think. you need the EK/EG civic version.

EDIT: i would still get some stuff made, though! i've been wanting a guy do cover my gas lid or even just make one. i've always liked that looks.

hey arron this is the guy to ask tell him i sent you

i don't think he's doing that anymore. i was going to buy the grille he was making but he hasn't responded to the thread in over a month.

[megarock15]

just give him time he is doing all this by scratch

[bcjammerx]

if your friend is making it...don't expect the same power gains seen as the original.

Unless he's an engineer with good knowledge of flow dynamics etc etc

im sure the engineering aspect of a short ram isnt that much to figure out

i have a few ways to figure the flow dynamics

but i have a few different designs that i want to prototype

key word is "prototype"

after i get a few prototypes around and test them

i will choose the best features and combine them so i can have a clean smooth air induction system

but what i was asking for originally was help on things i can do to minimize turbulance and so forth
