3800 My new FWI (****PICS***)

[syP]

Thanks alot to ThePizzaAvenger (tom douglass)

THe whole thing took him no more than half hour.

We did not have enough time to paint it. I am probably going to paint it red.

Thanks alot tom

You should try adding an angled piece to get it down lower in the fender. You will be able to get cooler air that way. Just an idea.

haha... i did the complete opposite because there is more airflow with this setup.

The angle makes a bend which decreases air flow.

Therefore this is the best home-made setup.

No problem.

Be glad my bank's math system sucks. :lol:

 

[zeez gtp]

Is there a best home-made setup??

You ought to do a write up on this. I am very interested. What are the exact sizes of that pipe and how big is your filter? Let me know, I think I may make something like that. How does the new induction sound?

speaking from your studies?

your car doesnt suck enough air to really matter either way, if you had a GTP id put it down in the fender- the cold air is better.

the factory comes with a bend in it, almost every factory intake setup has several bends in them.
colder air is more dense, therefore less cold air is better than more warm air.

and a bigger filter will allow it to suck more air in also. you can fit a much bigger filter in the fender well.

Hey i wanna do that. it looks pretty cool. PM me and tell me what i have to do and what has to be done.

Thanks

There's a write-up on clubgp showing every technical aspect of this version, vs the typical 90 deg bend.

The straight fwi is prooven the best for a N/A GP, and wouldn't hurt a gtp. The less the restriction (bends), the better. You mentioned how factory systems have bends in them. Why again are we replacing the factory system? As far as the cold air goes, the filter is entirely sealed off from the engine bay using the roof flange, plus higher up = less chance of sucking water, as well as lesser chance of water-spray. I doubt there's enough temperature difference from the top of the fenderwell to the bottom, if any, to make a difference.
