How to build your own martinbuilt Ram Air for Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ with 4.7L. This may also work for 05 and later (WK) models as well. I used an MMD 71323-00 hood scoop that I purchased from www.americanmuscle.com for 109.99 free shipping.

It's funny how life works... I saw this guy YEARS ago working on jeeps. I was a jeep dodge anything. Today, I bought a 99 WJ 4x4 because of watching his video yesterday. Come to find out, I was told by someone today that it was the best decision ever made... I highly agree. Thank YOU Martin

Hey Martin, good video again. I just finished on my Jeep WK 4.7 doing the CAI install for mine and I already had a full exhaust (looking for headers though, custom or otherwise) and after just testing the Jeep around the corner and back down the road, it really has helped the Jeep to be faster and louder, especially at start-up. Not that I care for the sound being louder but it really doesn't sound like it did when I bought it. My project has been taking me awhile so the more I do the more I'll upload too.

Very tempting to do. Gotta say, I'd probably do a bit more fabrication, however. Such as building my own box out of sheet metal and making the inside a bit more conducive for airflow, as this method does leave some areas that surely don't do you any favors in getting air to the TB. Regardless, this is incredibly resourceful and I never would've thought to do this. Outstanding job my friend.

Great job Martin! Enjoy watching you take something and completely modify it to work as if it was made for it. Something cool to add to this project......make a polished aluminium grill for the front of that scoop to stop birds or large debris from entering into the scoop. Something to match the 7 slot grill would be awesome! I used a large hole mesh on my project that worked but wasn't pretty. It did help with the front of the scoop, keeping its form and not dipping down in the middle. Over time, heat will cause this. The mesh kept it square and true. Either way, nice project!!

There's no way mounting any type of electric fan in or in front of an air intake that will add more air or give you any benefit. There are a few videos out there where they attempted this even to the point where they are mounting half a dozen leaf blowers that pushed a 110 MPH air and yielded absolutely nothing

They have an intake conversion plates from 4.7L to 4.6L that allow you to physically mount up the Eaton Supercharger from a 2003-2004 FORD COBRA to a 2006 H/O 4.7L engine... or any other aftermarket ford product. Now that would be a mod to behold on the Grand Cherokee!

Ive been looking at my IAT readings with the stock setup and it reads on average 15c above ambient temp. I note you have the IAT in the airbox and not the stock position.

A lot of these mods like this one it's hard to tell if you had a increase in power. Really needs to be put on a dyno with a before-and-after . I do believe I got something out of it. So far every mod I've done on this engine I have seen an increase in MPG. I have driven it in a very severe downpour it did have me worried but never did it give me any problem.

Antonio Leon thank you, I didn't do nothing to stop the rain from entering the throttle body. I did install the drain lines which takes care of the heavy rain. You got to remember water injection has been around for a lot of years. It doesn't hurt the engine at all and doesn't affect how the engine operates you can't even tell when driving in the rain. You're actually steam cleaning your engine when you're taking in a little water. Of course you wouldn't want to throw a bucket of water into the ram air that would definitely hydraulic the engine.

When it rains some water would be drawn into the engine but, that's not really a bad thing. That would be like steam cleaning the combustion chamber.

I’m building a box like you did in this Video but I’m am wondering! How did you Decide on how wide to cut the hole in your roof was it off the filter or the inside of the frame of the box?

I made it large enough that any part of the Ram Air that went through the hood did not come in contact with the hood. At least 1/2" or 13mm minimum clearness. The engine does move from side to side a slight amount. Also, the engine is not mounted right in the middle, it is 5/8" to the right.

@barrynorris6346 5 жыл бұрын

martinbuilt so the 1/2” is the space between the hood and the box? Is that correct?

@@barrynorris6346 when I first built the Box part of it would protrude through the hood so I had to leave room because of engine movement. If none of it comes through the hood you only need to make it as large as the filter opening. There is definitely more than half an inch from the aluminum plate to the top of the bottom side of the hood

You could have gone to the junk yard and grabbed an assortment of door and trunk rubber seals to experiment with for your hood seal. Plus it would have looked more professional.

Fucking genius! You’re tha man Martin! Where do you come up with this stuff? This is by far the best video I have ever seen on KZfaq! No doubt! Very awesome job bro!

Geo Stanley Thank you that's what I've been telling people for years the genius part that is lol. Well what I do is I stare at something long enough and think about how in the world could I make this better then all of a sudden I have an epiphany... thanks again for the nice comments. I got some other stuff coming up that are probably just about as impressive maybe even better.
