Ok, I'm setting up a completely different intake than I think had been done before. I'm tired of trying to adapt to the stock setup of things. Here's the idea:
1. Get battery cable connections and move battery to driver side of car (working on that now.) The positive terminal wire already comes from there so that's easy, just gotta extend the negative one over.
2. Moving the A/C lines and etc over enough to make room for a 4" pipe.
3. Removing the MAF sensor from the throttle body, porting out everything withing and grinding the extra bumps and stuff off the outside of the throttle body. When cutting the throttle body like this (as someone did on this board not too long ago for a better ram air intake on the 97), you can get a straighter angle out of the throttle body and it wouldn't matter as much b/c the MAF sensor is getting moved.
4. Installing a 4" 90-degree rubber elbow on the trimmed/ported/polished throttle body and aiming it to the PASSENGER side of the engine bay.
5. Running huge 4" piping over to the giant opening (now avaliable via the moved battery and a/c lines) and never having to squeeze past the radiator and stuff on the other side again! Woohoo!
6. Installing the MAF sensor AND the screen into the inlet of the 4" rubber elbow. The screen should straighten the air out plenty to get enough over the sensor shouldn't it?? Might need to change to the 99+ style but we'll see.. That might defeat the purpose.
7. If it would work as planned, 95-97 v6's could not have a fully ported/polished throttle body with nothing in the middle of it, a decent idle, a straighter throttle body, good sealing surfaces for the aftermarket setup, and 4" piping the whole way to the throttle body! Also, with the hole in the wall to the right of the battery (from driver point of view) you could run piping down to the nostrils on the front of the car and have a nice ram air setup going too! Possibilities become much more feasible.
Let me know what you think!
