Well after much talk about routing a cowl induction system into my 280zx I decided I would open my hood and look in there. Well I said if i move the brake lines over a little big there just might be a chance for it to work out. Then I look , this piping will run right by my exhaust manifold, well this is useless, the air will warm up to engine temperature and in result I would lose all cold air advantage. This is for an FI system, so if I had a V8 carb or a dual SU setup, this would work out since the intake manifold is close, and there is less piping, and its not nearly as close with contact to the exhaust manifold it would be succesful. So if you have FI and want cowl induction, wait for the God of air Induction ( Tony D) to finish his setup in the summer of 2002 sometime, and it could mean a hood similar to a camaro or cavalier with their model of Cowl Induction. So if you have FI stick with the existing option of cold air and go with it. I'll make mine though, I think MSA can go fly a kite for the prices they are asking for the easiest cold air intake ever. I could make one for half as much. So back to the induction, in my opion wait till next summer, or if you have the car torn down to bar bone, you could work something out from there.
