My new Intake....

My new Intake finally almost completed... i used 3.5 aluminum so i could utilize the 3.5 maf ive had lying around here...an i integrated it right into the tube..with out using big ugly couplings....i will use this to hook up my Maf translator to control fuel an timing...

is that a steel mesh filter? i had one when i first got my car and it rocked

yeah...getem from autozone..commercial... nice filter IMO

Nice job, Rob. Your welds are looking better with each day!

Rob when are you going to start mass producing some intakes for the Riv?

Looks great.

Thanks... id love ot mass produce some..but i just dont have the time to do it right now..maybe if i had my own lil setup an a lil shop to tinker with my own stuff it would be an option..but im so busy building german supercars..i barely had time to do this.

nice job, looks amazing

I'd pay $150 for an intake of that quality, maybe more.

I'm not going to fudge around trying to make my own. My gutted box will have to do until somone makes a real nice one like TType did here, for other members.

I just don't trust PVC.

I paid $250. Rob's work doesn't come cheap!

$250 including filter? If so, I'd pay that too.

No filter, then I'd have to wait. Someone quoted me $200 on just the intake, to make one for me that is. He would have done a great job, but I didn't want to spend that money right then.

It was with filter, but it doesn't matter really. Rob's not making these at the moment. Still. gives you an idea of what something similar would cost.

He should start making them again!

Yeah, I'll second that.

Dammit, Rob, stop having a life!!

I need an air intake system does any1 know where to get one or how to make my own?

so are you making a new intake?

no my engine is completely stock but supercharged, i want to make a CAI

ok so im going to have my dad build me an FWI. He recommends thin stainless 4" Piping(aluminum allows too much heat) and I went to autozone and seen a 4" Spectre filter just like in T types picture above. Does this sound like a good plan?

yea that'll really suck!

I built a 4" shorty intake with spectre stuff. A 4" FWI will be a bit of a challenge thought because they don't have anything you can directly puzzle together that will work. That's where I gave up and left it. If you cut and manipulate the pieces more, it could be done.

no im just going to buy stainless piping, and do all the bends and stuff by myself, and just use a spectre filter.

sorry for the double post, but i was thinking, is there even any reason to have a 4" intake? Since it does through the throttle body at 3", its only going to allow so much in at a time.

actually the throttle body is roughly 3.5 inches.. OD.

(((SOUND)))

I've used the 3.5" SS intake (shown on first page of this thread) and my engine seems happy so far. I think 4" would flow a little better, but probably overkill and looks goofy, imo.
