NB1 Miata Fog Light Intake Duct!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video i'm chasing after slightly cooler intake temps for the last time. I removed the bumper on my NB1 Miata to cut out the holes for the oem dealer option fog light bezels. I also designed and 3d printed a blank and a duct to route air into my intake. Let me know if their is any interest in these 3d printed pieces, NB1 only!

I love how you mod your car. Well thought through and effective mods, as opposed to the usual hotboy stance Miatas.
Appreciate that, thank you!
Just a set of dual blanks! You are a legend my friend!
I’ll get them out asap, thanks!
I’m definitely interested in these! Could also be used for brake dud ring! Awesome stuff!
Definitely could, I had someone order dual blanks and they were going to use them for brake ducting. I’m currently in the middle of moving so printing is down for the moment but should be back up soon!
This channel is actually so dope.
I appreciate that, thank you!
great idea!
if you're unsure about the UV resistance you could paint them.
Thanks! The asa filament I used should do pretty well as far as UV resistance, but I think they could do with a couple of coats of satin black anyway to darken them up.
I’d be interested in buying 2 of the drivers side blanks. I got a replacement bumper with fog lights cutouts for my non fog light NB1.
Hey, thanks for the interest in these! I've added them to my site thirdgengarage.net with an option to order two blanks.
very cool i would definitely be interested in doing this to my car
From your user name id assume you have a NB2? I’m currently working on a setup for the NB2 since it’s different than an NB1, I’ll have a video coming soon about it!
@@thirdgengarage my nb2 has a nb1 face swap
@@Clean.NB2 even better, these should fit as long as you have the fog light cut outs and shrouds
I'd be interested in seeing if there's a difference in airflow if you reversed that funnel in the bumper. There's a book on auto aero that mentions a reverse funnel will allow airflow to expand to fill the space, where a funnel will cause turbulence on the sides and actually pull some of the air out.
The book is called Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. I think it's def worth looking into.
I’ve seen that book mentioned around forums, going to have to check it out, thanks! I’m also thinking the length of the first funnel and how quickly it reduces could need some reworking, but at this point I’m just guessing. 😅
Building a heat shield to isolate the filter from as much engine bay heat as possible would maximize the effect.
As much as I told myself I was moving on after the duct, I think this is the move.
Awesome idea and mod I have a nb1 and would love to have some fog lights hmu
Thanks! If you already have the cut outs in your bumper check out my website for the blanks or ducts, thirdgengarage.net
Do you make the cut outs?
I want to know IAT before and after. Maybe block it off first and log without and then open it and log with.
i took a video of my iat readings before and planned on doing one after on a comparible day, 80 F, but havent yet. I like your idea, covering it then uncovering it and logging to see what happens.
You're coming in too low. You gotta keep the mic closer to yourself and bump up the gain. In post, you can run the compressor with a very high attack and ratio to get a nice loud voice. If you get noise you can pass it through de-noise.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll work on it for future videos.
cool
Wont your engine get hydrolocked super easy? Also The air mostly gets over The fog light just tiny weee bit of air actually gets în there
I hardly ever drive the car in the rain and I’m used to taking precautions if I do, I run a vented hood that I swap back to stock if rain is coming. I’ll probably make a cover in case of rain, but I won’t have to worry about that until the fall.
What material are you printing in? What printer do you reco?
I’m printing in ASA, I’ve have good results as long as the print is at least 2mm thick, if not I get some layer separation, theirs probably something that can be done to correct this. I’m not terribly well versed on printers, first and only one I bought is the ender 3 pro, got it for cheap at micro center and have been learning on it. I think I’m pushing it printing ASA without any upgrades but so far so good.
@thirdgengarage you got the file for the piece in the video
