My boyfriend and I came up with a few concepts for an intake so we didnt have to spend $200+ on one. We will be working out the kinks on these designs and be able to offer them for a good price, def not $200+. We are also going to try and get some dyno numbers to see just what gains we are seeing. One design we have come up with uses the factory location for the filter and all the "ram" air components. The other design will be an actual full kit with filter relocation and a conical filter. Here is the first couple photos of the kit using the factory filter box. Again this is the FIRST photo and the first attempt. We will post more following further development.

Thanks for any feed back or interests.

 

all i see is a red plastic tube lol

 

lol sure...

 

^No seriously, all I see is a red plastic tube too.

 

yeah... how much hp gain cause of red plastic tube?

 

Hope you you have a good v-stack for the conical filter version. And don't use some cheap ebay filter. And remember to fully enclose the filter or else it's no better than all the other cheap ebay kits.

 

the Red tube is the new Ztube.


awesome!

 

Like my original message stated, I haven't done a dyno run yet to see just EXACTLY how much HP gain has been made, but in response to the "plastic tube" remark....what do you think your stock tube and z-tube is made of? If you know physics then you would know that a straight tube has less restriction of air flow than a curved one. Didn't plan on using ebay either but thanks for the input.

 

thats what i have to figure out how to do next is close it in...we haven't decided on what material to use but i doubt it will be that hard.

 

The z-tube isn't just plain old, everyday plastic. If you use cheap plastic you could potentially run into problems with it becoming malformed due to the heat.

 

I suppose it works as long as it holds up to the temperatures. Looks kind of tacky though.

Remember to protect your AC line with some wire loom so it doesn't get worn down over time.

 

yeah well LIKE I SAID lol PROTOTYPE!!!....geez. As for the temp...im not worried about it, esp the paint...it will withstand up to 2000 degrees F...the silicon fittings im looking at will withstand over 380 degrees F.

 

Meh, you can fine a Z-tube and drop-in filter for prob. less then the material/time on this. And +1 on it looking pretty tacky.

 

... its a silicon sleeve. Just a cheap alternative. Nothing prototype about it. Now, pic of you. Kthanxsbye
