I was really bored, so what else would i do?

[Brandons]

Ok, i was bored, so i made my own pipe from the air box to the throttle body.

Heres a picture, its not done, but i came under the weather the day after and havent got to it.

CHEERS!

does your hood close? thats huge tubing... also are those 90* elows, they dont look right...

 

[Brandons]

Ones a 90, crooked at the moment, and ones a 45 i think. and the hood just closes . Its 3" (inner diameter) 3 1/2" (outer diameter) piping.

Have you run it like that yet? It may be so large it hurts performance.

 

[Brandons]

Of course i tried it

I can rev to 5k rpm before it shifts to 2nd instead of just 4k now and the engine compartment when you rev has a deeper tone. I can try to get a vid, but my camera doesnt get the sound right, so its all good.

 

[boominXplorer]

just post one more time!!! you'll be at 1k!

 

[Brandons]

nice set up u got there with the pvc piping...lol...i like the black it looks good. I bet it gives a smoother air flow. Now all u need is a non-restrictive air filter. KKM TIME....

 

[Brandons]

i have a K&N filter, so im gettin there

Just went out and extended the pipe from the two bends, fits nice now.

**EDIT**
Its ABS piping, the PVC is usually grey, i think, both parents are gas fitters so i got all the tools to make air intake stuff .

 

[Brandons]

More Pictures, because im bored once again

i doubt i need to explain how to do this lol

 

[LuCiFaRiAn]

good job on the riggin there brandon.

better than going out and wasting money on a "cold air" setup. whahahahahaha!

 

[Brandons]

Your car is next!!!

 

[frickea86]

hey man, why is there a peice of tubing not connected to anything. Its the 2nd photo down. Just wondering if its a intake hose and u haven't made a hole for it yet or its just something thats laying there.

 

[Brandons]

Havent made a hole for it yet, its in tommorrows plans along with sealing the other fittings with glue.

The hose goes from the oil opening to the air intake pipe, i probably should have it plugged, but ya know.

Thats just a blow off for the oil. I've seen mini filters for those. I'm working on a similar intake right now. The only thing holding me up is the air temp sensor and how to get it to clear the hood. And then a filter.

 

[Brandons]

Hmm, i was thinkin of usein just a mini filter, as for clearance, you might be able to just make it if you had no insulation under the hood, but then again, i did it on a 1st gen. Take a grinder if you have to, could get 1/4" outa it if you flatten the tubes a bit.

 

[IAmTodd]

Thats what we ended up doing at the end near the TB. Flattened it out, which I think I got enough clearance out of that. I just need to order my steel filter from Morgan-Tec when I get home and I'll be set!

hehe, good job.
