So something like these gauge hoods but to fit the vent? http://image.superstreetonline.com/f/39737796+w+h+q80+re0+cr1/modp-1203-05%2Bprosport-halo-series-gauges%2Bgauge-cluster.jpg Test fit the vent on my lunch. Fits almost perfectly. I actually made the front retaining clips too beefy so they don't seem to flex enough. I'm going to modify the one I have to make it fit perfect then update the model.

I know what one you are talking about So would you just be wanting a small box with a display window on it that you could stick in there? Assuming you would cut a chunk of your vent out. That's what it sounds like to me.

I think I have that file somewhere. I can design something up to fit that. Can I finish the vent one first? Got the first print done http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/ab114/gearhead_18/Vent%20pod/20150618_085520_HDR_zpsqunyghze.jpg http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/ab114/gearhead_18/Vent%20pod/20150618_085646_HDR_zps8yjmjkz2.jpg Going to check fitment tonight and see where I need modifications.

Printed off a top view of the shape of the vent pod I've been working on to double check the fit before I printed the vent to test. Looks pretty damn good to me! http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/ab114/gearhead_18/Vent%20pod/20150615_163638_HDR_zpsbacbxjxo.jpg

Wooo Solidworks! That looks good. What build thickness did you run when you printed it?

Yea printing that whole bezel is going to be very difficult. You would have to print it in separate pieces and put them together.

Nice work on the brakes! What wheels are those?

Is there a splitter behind the verticooler? Could you not make a splitter post intercooler to produce a smooth transition for the air to flow close to the same direction as the OEM path? I like the idea but the engineer in my feels like it can be improved upon. The airflow is going to be better with the PW IC because of the lack of 90° bends that Flinkly mentioned. Makes a large amount of turbulence in those bends and slows down flow. You want a little turbulence within the IC itself because turbulence increases heat transfer but before and after just hurt flow. Engineering FTW.

No problem! I appreciate you letting me help. Once the base design is perfected it will be easy to modify from there with the way I have it. Much excite

In for weights. On the site is says a weight of 1.5 lbs so if that's what all of them weigh together then that crank pulley is going to be really light.

I'll PM you

You talking about these? https://www.ralcorz.com/RalcoRZ-914923/ or the legacy kit https://www.ralcorz.com/RalcoRZ-914916/ I know engines are the same though. If the crank pulley is not obnoxiously light I might grab that kit. Will lightening the other pulleys along with the crank pulley have the same effect as just a really light crank pulley? Not really wanting a CEL

You would have to do it yourself probably. Print out some individual gauge cups and then fiberglass them together onto the vent. Now I kind of like that idea the more I read it. I might try it.

I'll see if he still has the file

Did Jeremy send you the solid model for it or no? If not I'll have to bother him for it ha

That turned out great. However, what is the center connection for that you have jumpered together?

Are you only set up to engrave wood? Or is that the only material you have tried so far?

Almost $1000 to scan and model? How big is it? I can probably just scan it here for you then send it back. We use a laser 3d scanner. Probably overkill on how precise it is ha

I work for Snap-on so I have lots of fun toys I get to play with Let me know what you come up with.

I have access to a larger 3D printer here that I could probably print that. Do you have a 3D model built of it? I'd be more than happy to at least try. This is why I love forums there's always people trying new stuff.

Hey quick question. When you modeled the vent portion of the pod did you incorporate the little tabs that hold it in there too or no?

Ah makes sense. I was just curious. What modeling program are you using? Wouldn't be willing to send me the STL file would you haha? (I assume no so it's no biggie)

That looks good^ Interested to see where this one goes. What build thickness and material are you using? The one I have here uses a black and can do 10thou and 7thou. The stringyness of the excess just caught my attention
