Custom 3.5" (90mm) CAI in the works

Today I relocated the horns and test fitted the pipe and intake. Everything fits perfect. ![Big Grin](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Next month I'll take the bumper down and drill through the radiator support and have this finished properly. I'll try and keep it looking like the 350z intake hole and I'll use a 90 degree silicone coupler in black to match the black radiator support.

so we have a stock TB, a stock MAF, and a big fat pipe connecting the 2. Now you intend to run another big fat tube to relocate the air filter directly behind the grill where it will get totally soaked if you ever drive in the rain and will get equally soaked when you wash the car.
Brilliant.

and I think I can use the MAF and TB from the VQ40. But the TB on the VQ40 is only .25" bigger.

Sorry, but I think this is a waste.....without going to a larger maf at the very least this won't produce. Noble idea and attempt to be different, but not well planned out.
There is more to a productive intake then just volume of air it can flow. You need to factor in resonance, air velocity, and pressure as well.

So you are going to have your filter sandwiched between a hot radiator on one side and hot piece of metal on the other? All of this is going though a 2.25 inch stock throttle body? Am I missing something here?

I am sorry but now this just became even more pointless. You put a giant tube and filter behind the grill (where it blocks the majority of the radiator) for increased flow. But you are covering the huge filter with a huge metal shield??
