put in my intake sounds great it was really cheap (it was for a matrix) i had to shorten it a little but other than that i fit great and i planned on it any ways it kicks in a 3000 rpm and keeps going till like 5500rpm i thought it would be like very little but it was great



pictures coming soon

Search eBay.. they are posted all the time under the Matrix.

That oversize piping didnt hurt performance anywhere? :confused: All the "home made" guys that used piping of that size had issues right off the bat.

What your saying is that the increased diameter of the pipe doesn't allow the MAF to operate correctly?

I'm going to scrap parts from it and make one like chino I'm going to cut the tube thing and cut off the bottom and take the maf thing and do the same I have to find a good way of sealing this can anyone suggest something I'm thinking some gorila glue on a radiator tube would work.

What have I done?

Bucky, don't follow me. I was only testing something out. You don't want radiator pipe in your intake system dude. That is just plain ghett-OH.

I'm not trying to shoot your hopes and dreams down homie, give it a shot. You'll definitely learn something, but you don't wanna pop your hood and show everyone your ugly betty! You want pretty betty! :bellyroll: Finish your intake, I want to see it when its done.

EDIT: Actually, now that I look at it that green monster is literally the same thing as the first design we came up with. We just decided to put the 2-3" coupler further down the line. Yours uses less couplers, but the pressure loss coming to the throttle body is murdering your low end. At the high end (and I'm talking really high) your intake would outperform mine the slightest bit though assuming the ECU ran within parameters.

im also i can run rich by choice so i have the gas up high on the low rpm and the gas "lower" on the high rpm and it works great

Edit i dont like running rich so i do plan on doing this for long just till i fine the right intake i want

Lets stop and look for a minute KSI..

First off the hacked parts Chino made his tester with, were already the correct inside diameter piping...

If you chop and save you green 3" parts, you will then have to step each side down to smaller piping.. so far that's 2 couplers for each piece you save (one on each side, 3" to X"). Still with me? So what makes you think by keeping the overly large parts that hurt the setup in the first place, that its going to be any better once mated to smaller piping? Not to mention all the different sizes your intake track will be, starting at the filter all the way to the TB.

By a Chino intake and sleep well at night.
