What is your plan? Cut about 1 to 2 inches before the 45 degree turn to get it straight towards the front? That's an expensive piece...!

 

I was thinking of cutting it into three pieces, but yeah, that piece is a bit expensive but I'm sure with some digging around we can find some generic U-J 3 and 3.5 inch pieces. I was thinking I might want to try building one where it comes out, goes straight downwards, then across and I wanted to build a ram-air type intake - if I can find some scrap pieces, lol. I like mine the way it is though.

 

Or maybe it was a custom unit made for Vibrant, who then gave it to suprastore, lol. I forgot the name of the company that makes the silicone couplers for vibrant, and don't recall whether or not they sell to individuals

 

You can't do 3.5 on the 2 90deg. turns, you only have 3.0 to play with. You can buy the 3.0 U and cut it in half then get it welded, or use a 3.0 coupler. the UJ is good for 2 inch, then the 45deg, then 8 or 9 inches you drill hole 4 inches each way or 4.5 inches each way depending on the size you cut it.

 

Any news on the 3.5" pipe with MAF housing, MAF base, MAF adapter or whatever it's called?

 

Gotcha. For now I will stick to the DIY hack/chop of old airbox Doesn't look that bad after all...

 

Add me. 49 to go

 

Ok... so what's the price??? Email to send PayPal to?

 

can I request to have BOV recirculating inlet pipe welded on the MAF tube?

 

you don't want the recirculate fitting on the maf tube anyway, you want it further back or it might interfere with the air readings.

 

There are couplers that have this inlet, no welding required. Search eBay for it, you want the length not compromised by the BOV recirc. or it will probably mess up your MAF readings.

EDIT: Yeah, what sql said.... LOL

 

M4f1050,
Do you mind pm me with a link? i cant seem to find it on the bay
thanks

 

I want one.

 

The recirc fitting on the mazsport intake works perfectly. The angle of the fitting really helps.

 

......search works.......

I got this on the 1st search I did for T-shape silicone...

Well, I saw something similar, didn't/haven't tried getting one, if I decide to recirculate I will definitely find a way of getting one.

 

Here's my custom setup
3.5" OD all the way

 

^ So where is your MAF sensor mounted? I can't see it in the picture.

 

its behind the intake opening

 

The grounding kit makes the engine bay look busy.. Does it work good? What's the advantage of it? Ignition-wise?

I like the BOV, BTW, I just installed the same one on my car, all I can say is WOW. Awesome BOV.

 

I got this idea from tdiddy and can't think of why it will not work perfectly. From home depot I bought an 1" OD hose barb to 1" NPT plastic adapter from the plumbing section, two plastic 1" NPT thin nuts, and a few ~1mm thick tough rubber washers all for just a few bucks. I used that same 1" hole saw to cut a hole in the 45 degree bend 3.5 to 3" reducing silicone coupler (after slipping it onto a 2x4 wood stud for support). I also used a hacksaw to cut the hose barb part a tiny bit shorter.

All this took just about five or ten minutes and cost about five bucks and it seems tight and strong as hell. The recirc will be at least 7 to 8" or more after the MAF so I can't see it being a problem. Notice it does not intrude into the airspace either. I can't wait to try it out.

 

Awesome! Great post.

 

Need a bit of help, if you guys don't mind. My custom intake set up is as shows. The piping extends in the front portion bumper, like the mazsport cai. Does this look ok? I am bit stumped on how I would put in place the stock mesh screen. I also confused to WHERE is the hosing I need to connect to the Oil Catch Can. I am a bit tired of seeing it just sit there in my garage. As you can see I only have two hoses opposed to the earlier models having three. Anyone with a stock 06 or turboed 06 can give me a hint? All input is greatly appreciated.







The third hose is no where to be found, am I just out of it??!?!?! >.<

 

no matter what you do it's not going to be ideal. the greddy maf housing isn't a perfect circle, and the expansion and reduction of the diameter is too abrupt and right next to the maf sensor...
