My idea for a custom intake.

[apedog]

So Ive come to realize that paying 90 bucks for an intake pipe is rediculous.
I found this mandrel bend for 18 bucks. Its seems like its got the right bend in it only it dosent have the BOV port.

Couldnt I just drill a 1 inch hole and jb weld a little pipe for the BOV hose?

I dont see why it wouldnt work

vibrant makes gromets with nipples for this. You drill the hole insert the gromet and nipple and hook the hose up. It looks much cleaner then using jb weld.

Can I get a website of where this is?

When looking to do any custom project i always check vibrant first. I was once a dealer for their company and find their products great for custom builds. - Here are the vacume fittings i was talking about earlier Vibrant Performance ::.

Just go to a machine shop and have them TIG weld it on there for a clean professional look

or buy a $15 one from ebay

JB weld should work on the intake since it's not pressurized like the IC pipes. However, personally, I think it's a "hack". I would get it welded at a machine shop or get the vibrant piece.

I once made one of these for a 2g with PVC piping and used PVC glue to make a bov return tube. I just painted it all black and it actually turned out fairly decent.

The intake for my Holset is 4in PVC painted plack .. I could find the guts to spend over 100 bucks on an intake.

Where do you buy this one? Is it full 3in intake?
