Re: cold air intake from hell.

Thank you sir for posting that. I love me some back yard projects ;)

When using it, cut off the first inch or so (special molded ends). Then if the corrugated part is too tight a fit on the intake, warm it with a hair dryer (got to get it fairly warm or it won't budge) and then stretch it over the throttle body. There is about 4 feet of the stuff in the small box, more than enough to make half a dozen mistakes! :D

BTW, I warmed mine by holding it over an electric stove burner on high (with oven mit on my hand). Don't do with gas stove due to open flame. Hair dryer should suffice and might give better control.

imagine some intake tubing straight down from the TB into an airbox that sits on top of the front swaybar.

I really cant get any clearer than that.

Re: cold air intake from hell.

lol what hose is a quarter inch thick and has a light filmed plastic lining it. (its very smooth) the air box is also literally COMPLEtely open at the bottom. so I do not see how it could restrict anything.

also its lower down than it looks. (i know its not that pretty but i think it works) and im possitive it gives more Gaines that the so called "free ram air" with no ram hood lol

Re: cold air intake from hell.

will someone please tell me how the intake is not gaining anything? Im just trying to be creative. It took me a few days to do all this. Just because its not shiny and expensive does not mean it will not work. I think it works quite well myself. im going to refine it.. you can bet that. but the overall design is staying.

Re: cold air intake from hell.

im sorry but from the SOUNDS of it, youve wasted a lot of time. dont continue to refine it. Just stick a lid on your car and be done with it.

Re: cold air intake from hell.

please explain your reasonings.

Re: cold air intake from hell.

dont you think that if you had some cold air intake design that gained 15hp that SOMEONE would have come up with it already? A lid and filter is the cleanest/easiest/one of the cheapest methods for a 3.8L/5.7L fbody that is widely accepted everywhere.

what you are talking about sounds kinda off, and def. not something i would describe as a "cold air intake from hell"

Re: cold air intake from hell.

how not?

it gets cold air from under the car. its not even like the lid around to top of the car where its completely under hood and it getting air from in front of the radiator. also the air is so interrupted by everything it has to go through.

Re: cold air intake from hell.

no his title fits the intake quite well actually dmw319. It is exactly where it is from and should have stayed. lol

first and foremost, does it rain in ohio? If so, which I know it does, the first big rainfall you drive through and hit some puddles you are going to highly increase your chances of hydrolocking your engine from water getting on the open element underneath.

if you are set on making your own design without a lid, run it to a fenderwell where the fender protects it from the rain yet pulls in cold air and it isn't running in between a hot engine and a hot radiator.
