Home made Cold Air Intake

[fullmoon]

Sorry kinda bizzee so I could not upload the same info on this site as I did at the other site I hang out at but here's a link to a home made cold air intake I made which I belive can go dyno to dyno with any after market tube

I'll try to upload em here if somebody with more time and a faster connection don't beat me to it.

Not bad, but the flexible tubing your using is prone to weather fatigue. It will brake down over time and absorbs water. I would use something closer to flexible exhaust material and flatten it.

Dyno to dyno, it wont make much of a difference because your still going through your stock air box and piping. In essence all you have done is relocated the stock air intake from the inner fender to the wheel well. Use with a turbo would cause the material to brake down faster from the constant push pull, vacuume on the tubing.

To be completely honest, you can buy a cheap cold air intake for half of what you spent making this. And you wouldnt have to worry about hacking your airbox or ribbed tubing constricting airflow. Not to mention that plastic especially pvc materials when heated do not take kindly to engines.

Hay thanx for the pat on the back, I'll look around for better tubing and I did not relocate intake flow completely I added to it because I did not close off the stock intake hole.

This is geared toward more of a sleeper mod than a cheepee mod and I plan to make wayyy more sleeper mods as I go along as it keeps the crime rats and the smog police out here in the good ol state of California looking elesewhere

In fact I got GSX rims so my GS don't look too bland in fact they look more spiffy on mines than on the real GSX.

That stuff actually holds up pretty good. I turbocharged my cousins 240sx almost 2 years ago and we used it for the intake to the turbo to MAF meter. He hasnt had a problem one out of it. It was a kit bought from Auto Zone for custom CAI. Looks just like what you have. I would reccommend running one end up into one of the openings in the bumper cover, it will actually push cold air into hte box while driving. On my car I have a duct going from the passenger side "hole" up to the hole in the car in front of the air box. I didnt bother to fit it into the air box. I just wanted a cool supply of air there while driving.

That's right I think it's the same company that sells in a diiferent auto store out west they sell a chrome horn that heps to direct more air into the tube but it was too big to fit into the bumper hole but since I'm going for the sleeper look I'm kinda limited to what I can do.

They got all kinda tubing and stuff.

Thanx for the advice I thought that plastic was tuff enough to handle the heat etc...
