JAC Wagon Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 excuses! LOL How much was the entire project including the KN filter? I know you mentioned $106 or something but was that just for the intake hoses or for everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Any updates? Im about to buy all the pieces and have them shipped home so I can build and install the day I get back from being deployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Sure lol. Forgot all about this. Ill get you another video tomorrow. If you give me a tomorrow I will give you an updated list based on my experience with the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 no hurry dude. Ill wait to hear from you before I buy. Im also thinking of just going 3 inch the whole way, and foregoing the 4 inch piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0Tyrael0 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Alright here is the order from silicon intakes. This is a strait 3inch design except for the filter. I dont see any reason not to go with the 4inch filter but if you decide to do that then you will need a different one than i specified. (1) Silicon Reducer 90 bend 3.00 - 2.75 (1) Silicon Bend 45 bend 3.00 (1) Silicon Strait Coupler 3.00 (1) Silicon Reducer 4.00 - 3.00 (2) Stainless Steel Joiner 3.00 (2) 1ft 10mm vacuum hose (1) T-Bolt Clamp 2.75 (4) T-Bolt Clamp 3.00 (1) T-Bolt Clamp 4.00 My total was 92.52 All my other stuff came from ebay Using my original design (with the 4inch middle) moves the torque curve a bit high on the rpm for most drivers. I like it but most people like the curve a little flatter. A strait 3inch design with a 4 inch filter might just be the perfect all around design. Something else to keep in mind is if you make the intake shorter or longer than my design this will also mess with the torque curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 i dont get this.. mine came out to 98 and thats without the vac line and 4 to 3 reducer. wtf and the aluminum is alot cheaper for a 2 foot vs a 2 foot piece of sil. 15$vs50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your price with shipping? mine did not include shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subydrift Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I looked into that vacuum port splitter tube above when i was doing my intake but it is only for 1/8" NPT fittings and that seems a little less than adequate for proper vacuum to the PCV lines. And it is definitely not big enough for the IAC line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 that was without shipping btw.. i used the alumin pipe now and a 4 inch staight coupler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So I got all my parts in... but I am missing something. My K&N filter doesnt join with my 4" to 3" reducer. How did you get yours to work??? Looks like I need a 4" joiner... any suggestions on where to pick one up other than siliconeintakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Which K&N Filter did you get? See I got a 4inch filter and a 4 to 3 joiner and I was able to get it to fit. Mind you its quite snug but it does fit well once its on. Post the part number of your K&N filter and I might be able to help. Pictures would be good too.

JAC Wagon Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I got the part numbers and followed your post. Did you wrap the filter around the joiner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I got mine done! Holy ***T what a difference it makes! I LOVE the sound it makes and I can feel more pull around 3k RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC Wagon Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Ok! I will post a few, and I will try to make a video or two as well this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yo post some pics sometime. If anyone else has made a custom intake send me some pics so I can include them in the thread. PS I might be working on a second type of intake pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 k, didn't see this covered, but there won't likely be any benefit from the larger middle section, any increase in velocity in the smaller section will be countered by the decrease in velocity going from the MAF to the larger section. they reason a velocity stack works is it is drawing from a larger volume of air into a smaller. I am not sure how the system you are trying to copy works, but it may use a carefully engineered resonator chamber or just be snake oil like the "vortex generator" things people stuff in their intakes. you MIGHT be able to make this work if you put a larger MAF in, but you would still ned a bit more engineering. in my opinion, once you put any kind of SRI/CAI on your biggest restriction is going to be your TB, and it will only flow a given amount of air at a given vacuum. it is a cool idea, but I am not sure it will stand up to physics.

0Tyrael0 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have covered this in detail. You will always be limited to the smallest part of your intake. That should be obvious. The only thing any intake would attempt to accomplish is make the most of your throttle body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 3" tubing all the way, except for the 4 inch filter and 2.75 inch throttle body inlet. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/JeepinGoose/011.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Very excellent picture! I will have to give all 3inch tubing a try sometime to see if there is any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
