ok so i have seen a few threads with mint carb filter hats
since i got no money i hacked up the blue one for a better induction

its not finished needs to be tidyed up and put a ruber edging on but ehh it does the job for free

 

looking good. humm I got an extra one. I wonder what it would look like if it was polished up, is that what you plan on doing? or you going to leave it blue?

 

ya know, that doesn't look bad.

 

i just went for a drive it sounds awsome i just brought a k&n for 30ish its thiner than stock and a little bigger it fits just around the rubber on the bottom base i didnt thing off polishing but i sure will now just have to cut those tabs straighter for looks etc

ill try upload a video some where so you can hear it its so much louder kinda like a k&n pod filter on a civic but rotary sounding

 

now you just need a K&N like I have for sale for $20

 

how rigid are the tabs?

 

Yeah, any open air canister (RB, ISC, Bonez, Cut-out stock) gives an awesome sound.

Man, for stock that really doesn't look half bad!

Definitely do some detail work on it. Heck, I'd even leave it blue, unless you do some really serious work polishing.

there a lil bendy wouldnt be hard to stiffin up plus once the lids on there nice and tight when clamped down

 

heres some videos hehe there really bad all movin about but i just wanted to show the sound it makes when the secondarys kick in

im tossing up weather i should cut it more under to the filter or leave it kinda flush sing the tabs might get weaker

thanks for ya comments i didnt think i just hacked away and it didnt turn out bad lol

It's a little more work, but if you leave the top ring on the lower part, it will maintain most of it's rigidity.

 

Simple and effective. Nice work. Looks like you were lucky you didn't crash when filming that last one. lol. By the way, your left turn signal is on.....

 

lol if only i had 3 arms and hands it would of looked good

i went for another drive and i think it sealed a little better than the videos and was freakin loud through 1st all the way up the gears i mean louder than the damn civics

i think ill add some rubber to the top lid so its sealed more.
more bang for buck


im not to sure what you meant scott?

The lower part of the housing will stay stiffer if you leave the rolled lip all the way around the top. You notched openings, if you had cut holes, it would have more stability.

 

yes that is true i can get another base for a few bucks and change it but it is efficient enough when the lid is clamped down i may jb weld some steal to the tabs for strenght
i wanna polish it but i like it how it says mazda rotary engine on the lid

 

Leave the rolled lip and 1/4-3/8" of the side, you'll be good. Another way to do it is use a hole saw and run a series of holes around it. That would give the best strength.

 

I love that carb sound!!!

I will get some video of my Dellorto on here. Its a beast!

 

DO it!!!

 

thats on a stock car too
i would like to hear the different sounds of all the carbs usally all ya hear is the loud exhaust

 

Well I have a Dellorto on a 12a Steetport. with a full RB SP exhuast, but you can still hear that carb open up and its great!!! As much I dont care for my dell, but I love its sound!!!

 

I have the RB exhaust, plus the RB powerpulse intake filter unit. The sound is awesome. At times, the sound of the intake is louder than the exhaust. I pipped the throttle underneath an overpass yesterday and the ricer in the neon next to me made a mess all over his steering wheel. lol.

The powerpulse intake works like a bass amplifier due to its shape. Makes for a very deep throaty sound. Its like giving your car a big hit of testosterone. The setup flows great, but I'd recommend it for the sound alone...

 

I like what you did, whatd you use to cut the metal?

 

I have done the exact same thing and noticed way better response.

 

just a thin grider disk on the air compressor you can get them at any autostore also can use it in a cordless drill

 

Bloody Kiwi's got skills.....hehe

 

yup where not just a pack of weed smokin drunk people that are allways happy
