[Greasemonkey2000]

Well when or if i do said setup i will provide links for an easy cookie cutter replication guide. Probably several floating around anyways....

Edit: one google search later:

had this in the back of my mind for a bit.. finally just bought everything and threw it together. just putting it out there.. about $80 for everything

youll need this:

youll also need to by a 3" pvc hanger thing in the plumbing section of your local hardware store.. its called a "dwv hanger". looks like this:

they ussually have a twist in them. put it in a bench vise and straighten it out. youll also have to put a bend in it and i bolted a small bracket to it to make it sturdier (see pics)

where its secured near the filter.. i just put a small bracket there and ziptied it areound the intake. its ghetto but its sturdy enough.

the pics! (sorry.. cell phone only.. im lazy)








my filter wont be here for a couple days.. im sure this one will fit. a bigger one might, but this one will be fine.

also working on a box to isolate the filter..


id expect the same gains as with an rb intake.. if not more since the tube before the MAF is longer with my design.. but im only half certain that matters. i do know that it revs faster at idle (i slapped a filter i had laying around on and tested it out in my garage).. anyways have fun!

k its all done.. i taped the tube with some reflective tape and built a little aluminum box box around the filter. i used the "cardboard box with straws" method from one of the diy airbox threads on here. i also put some insulating foam tape on the box. i may still work on sealing it better in the back but im happy for now.





one cool thing about how ive got it set up. the filter isnt resting on the body.. its just floating but its secured.
