factory fog lamps and CAI for a '93 chevy lumina

Are there factory fog lamps for a '93 lumina, because on the front skirt there are cutouts for them. If so, how could I get them? Otherwise I will just buy universial lamps, no biggie. Also, any suggestions on how to get wires through the firewall easily?

Another arguement...would a CAI improve gas mileage? Using 3" PVC and placing cone (K&N) filter down between the radiator and engine, right below the ignition coil pack. That's the best and easiest placement that I can think of. If you have any input, im all ears.

Thanks

i have a CAI (Cold air induction) for my 1991 Lumina Euro, i have noticed that my original 17 mpg for city is more like 22 (with being nice to it) and about 30 on the highway.

It also gives the car a nice roar, nice and loud. sounds like a racecar and not a ricer. putting it between the raditor and coil packs is perfect, what model of the car do you have? Z34 Euro Eurosport? Regular???

by you saying there is room between the radiator and the coil packs I dont think your talking about a Z34, they have almost no room there.

The CAI would work best there, but make sure you find a way to secure the pipe. just make sure to secure the pipe and cone somewhere, that way the cone wont rub the cooling fans.you could also drop the pipe down to the floor if you have enough room. That would definetley give you the Cold air induction.

how much did your cai run, also ive been thinking of just removing the intake box and some how fabricating the sensor thats on the intake box into the intake hose and putting a cone filter on the end of the hose. or is it better to just spend the money for the cai? im in the cleveland, ohio area and havent been able to find a cai for this car. "93"
lumina eurosport 4door 3.1 motor. i have dropped in a k&n air filter, but the cai would so much better. thanx

The car is a '93 chevy lumian sedan 3.1 liter MFI, not Z34 (i wish).

-PARTS
My plan is to buy two 45 degree, 3" PVC pipe and cut a 8-10" straight section (must buy in 10' lengths of 3" stright PVC).

-ASSEMBLY
I would drill the correct size hole for the air box sensor in one of the 45 degree street PVC. That 45 degree PCV piece would connect to the intake hose (makes a good fit) and the flared end of the angled PVC would connect to the 10" straight PVC. Using the 2nd 45 degree street PVC connected to the oppisite end of the 10" PVC and finally connecting a 3.5" inner diameter cone filter to the street PVC. The filter would be down between the radiator and engine block, below the coil packs. Piping and filter still need to be supported, haven't figured that out yet.

-COST
10' straight PVC aprrox. $11.00
45 degree street angles approx. $ 1.50 ea.
K&N filter approx. $50.00
-------
approx. total $65.00

-NOTES

I have investigated other placements for the filter, but there is a lot of wiring and worse yet rigid hoses (metal hoses comming from transmission and possibly A/C, not sure on that) that blocks the path for a filter to be placed under the radiator, a true cold air intake. I also suspect damage to the filter if placed much lower. I can't think of a way to get the filter in front of the radiator. That would be the best placement, any ideas??

i was also considering trying to fabricate some kind of an air dam in the hood of my lumina. im still not sure how i would exactly do this but it is a thought. still have think about how to keep water from entering. maybe this is just far fetched!!!!!! if this is possible, then i would just flip the intake box upside down, bore some holes in the bottom of it and then install it right below the air dam. as previously mentioned this may be a little far fetched. i dont know a whole lot about cars, just enough to keep mine running decently. any suggestions would be helpful, thanx.

cnilkyrclit, that's a funny idea. I guess the big problem would be how would you run an intake hose down to the intake without some sharp angles which reduce the flow of air significantly thus reducing horse power. Mounting it could be tough too. Also, because heat rises, an overhead forced induction system isn't as effective. That's the whole point of putting the filter as low as possible. I guess the real perks might be in the looks and orginality.

thank you for that bit of information, i thought it would work kind of like the ram air in the pontiacs. they say you learn something new everyday!!!!! how exacty does the ram air work. than eaglesfan

Ram-air is just an intake system placed anywhere where it can recieve a forced flow of air when the car is moving. If you built a hood scoop intake system, that would be considered ram-air. The advantages are at higer speeds more air is being rammed into the intake obviously increasing the air flow to the motor. But when not moving, it doesn't do much. I think it's more of a marketing trick to fool people into thinking their car is better then others. Like i said tho, it is helpful at higher speeds.

i would just like say that there are some very smart individuals on this web site. i havent been able to find another site like this. i think i speak on behalf of everyone who needed some help getting their vehicles together/fixed, thank you for all of the help and feedback.

Well, thank you. I have also found this site to be very helpful. And I am always willing to help out. I too, still have a lot to learn.
