3800 How I spent Saturday afternoon

[Ten32]

Finally got all the parts together, made the straight duct, and installed the new (new to me, anyway) WizAird set-up.

looks good.... but shouldnt there be less of a gap where the tube comes in? wont that decrese the pressure of air going to the intake?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Doesn't matter. The Supercharger pulls the air in.

Looks great!

that will hurt IAT's tho. with my box not sealed all the way my iat's went up. its when you are standing still for a while it will take longer to get your iat' lower again
Heat soak happens,
but it does like nice

 

[EmersonHart13]

You can fix that by going to the auto parts store and buy some generic weather stripping and cutting a circle to seal it off. It will clean up the look and be functional while allowing the engine to flex without pulling on thte box.

There should be some heat wrapping that comes with the airbox to wrap the pipe with and seal the hole at the box. Email Wizbang and see if he can send you the wrap.

I bought the airbox used, it didn't come with any pipe or heat wrap. I'll probably try the weather strip idea mentioned above.

That is definately not a Thrasher intake, looks almost like an MSP.

nice intake, isnt it like 250 right?

Is it better to have that or the Fenderwell Intake

fender wall......at the track it really would not matter with headlight removed
thrashers and others like it heat soak in stand still weather, and take for ever to cool down after spending nights wrapping items and trying to seal a thrasher

i put a speedbuilt intake, and wow what a dif.. i had way more consistant low IAT's with that and the heat soak recovery was night and day
i dont recommend boxs anymore for people trying to make lots of power on the street

and it leaves you room to work with out removing that everytime and risk getting somthing into the intake path

i doubt many would arguee this if they have had both

home made intakes dont count for comparison cause they leave room for error(shitty tubing..cheap clamps, and filter location, crappy bends)

My thrasher didnt look like that. Very nice placed sticker though.

FWIW, Ive heard nothing bad about the MSP intake.

I bought an MSP when it came out, and sold it within 2 months of use. I went back to my stock(hogged out box.

Correction. Ive heard a complaint or 2 about the MSP box.
