One 90 degree silicone elbow(2.75")-$20.00
One 90 degree bend aluminum intake pipe(2.75")-$15.00 One cone filter-$25.00 That sound! - Priceless ![]()

![]() thats great dont get me wrong, but what about those of us without 12 feet of intake? (their test intake has at least 3 feet of straight vertical pipe that filled halfway) anyway id still buy and use one whenever i go full cold air but id make damn sure theres AT LEAST 18 inches of intake in front of that valve for my peace of mind. EDIT: going back to the first post with the temp readings (very cool info, i cant believe the difference in idle temps!) if someone with a bit more knowledge than i has the actual equation for how dense air is at certain temps, it would help figure out which particular setup actually gets the most oxygen (although it looks almost certain its the cold air) it would be nice to get down to specifics.

Yeah, I would have done the rest of the CAI if I were going n/a, but I'm boosting, and this is temporary. You're gonna S#!T when this is done. And I hardly think I'm suckin' in hot air. There's a lot of ventilation under my hood with the mods I've done to the front end.
There's gonna be a big air-to-water intercooler in that battery area, and that's why it's gone to the trunk. Pretty sure you can do one like this without moving it. Here's a better pic so you can see where the filter sits underneath.

don't drive it much - so no. Like I said, it's temporary. The turbo is gonna be in within the next 3 weeks I'd say. It's shipping as of last nite, and I'm ordering the powertrain electronics from SDS next week. Ya'll watch out for a kick-a$$ turbo D.I.Y. posted pretty soon.

I have had the flu for a couple days, so I've crawled all over this blessed site...and now I'm going to stop lurking and suggest a few things.
PVC is really durable, and I've seen it closer to a turbo manifold than I ever would have imagined and it surviving. Plus who cares about noxious fumes, let the engine have 'em...maybe it's like nitrous...nox...nos... ok terrible joke. Seriously though, I'd wrap some heat shielding around those pipes just for fun, I'd expect those rubber connectors would fail from combined heat long before the PVC began to decompose... I usually used high-temp aluminum paint from the auto parts store whenever I found myself using PVC. It looks better, like real metal. It rejects some of the heat being reflective and actually a metal based coating. It makes it easier to spot areas where the piping is rubbing a part of the body/motor. Ok now I'm going back to trolling in the sections where I belong.

Lol Ive actually gotten away with telling some ricer kids that its "body color matched custom intake piping"
I dont think they had any idea what PVC even is...Anyhow, yeah I've had headers and underhood temp measurements since November and the hottest its EVER gotten under my hood was 154* F... Heat is definitely not an issue... Btw, that is one HOT RL man!!! ![]() |
