where the hell did the engine fan go? (for the injen one)

He got rid of that UGLY and horrible clutch fan, and probably installed 2 12" electric fans, same thing i'm doing in march.

Here are some pics....

Its basically just two 90 degree bends welded together. 3" mandrel bent stainless, tig welded...

i bet that filter gets dirty fast. probably bad during rain too.

JeromeS13

Yeah. I've had a bit of water vapor come out of the tail pipe on a couple of instances. I'm about to make some kind of shield from sheet steel. I'm either going to form it around the filter element, or make some sort of partial fender liner. I don't know yet.

your car looks sweet man.......no doubt about it

as hobo as it may sound... a coffee can around the filter with a whole in the bottom for the pipe would keep water out. as long as the coffee can's diameter is about an 1.5 inches bigger than the filter their shouldn't be much air resistance. although fabricating something else would look a whole lot better.... heh

did you have to cut a hole or just remove the battery tray?
looks pretty good though, i think a fender liner would be a good idea

JeromeS13

I removed the battery tray AND cut a hole where it use to be. The reason that I don't have fender liners is because I use to have the Tein Flex. And, with them set to my preferred height, fender liners were out of the question. I even had to modify the upper part of the frame (above the tire).

hey i did me own custom intake and i hooked up the maf sensor and the other small sensor i dont know were to put it? so i unplugged it it seems to work fine no problems. but just wondering is this bad will my car work fine without it? i think its the air tempertuere sesor or something. cause if you unhook the other one your car seems to not want to go at all

looks good for custom work buuuuuuuttttttttt the 90 degree angles are going to kill the air flow. I had a 88 mr2 and had a shop put in a custom intake into the trunk and it had two right angles. then had the same shop put on a custom pipe leasing towards the wheel well and there was a noticable gain in power plus i ran a 15.248 in the 1/4 which was mor than a half second difference in thime from the first intake i got.... hust food for thought...

...

you guys all suck, i thought i would be the first one to do this!!!

btw: i'll still be the first one to make it ram air though! HA!

JeromeS13

Well, its not a true 90 degree angle. Its more of a 90 degree curve with a fairly large radius. Add to that the fact that its mandrel bent, and the airflow is impeded little to not at all.

If you say so....

Nice. Usually, when someone "THINKS" that someone is wrong, they'll offer an explanation.
