Thank you in advance for downloading it. I presume that the chapter titles are enough to let you know if you want to download it or not. I'd make a low-res version, but for example, if I 72 dpi'd the rats nest removal - sure it might be a 5 M download instead of 15, but when it comes to seeing the holes to cap - you'd be more lost.

If popular demand wants a text file, I'll see what I can do - it just sounds like extra work for minimal savings if you ask me - since anyone who wants to do these is going to want pictures to go by. Either that or I increase the verbosity to the point where I'm using 1000 words per picture, and that will hit novella status before the 4th pic.

 

Why boter with a PDF then...? Why not just publish it to the web? Then you cold make all the images more than manageable.

 

wow looks like a roast in the oven.. but it would br effect i recon...

i bought all my pvc pipe's 2day to start making my hack version...

 

Unless I have missed it somewhere in here, I did not see the topic of a velocity stack come up. It seems to me that once you have cold air the next step is to accelerate it for easy ingestion. What would be really slick is to figure out how to incorporate a velocity stack into the CAI. Unfortunately, I have told you everything I know about a velocity stack right now. But maybe someone reading this thread could add to this thought.

 

Well, 52 minutes later, Im done DL it . I had DSL at my other place of living, but Im not living there anymore . Oh well. It loks good guys . The only thing I have a problem with, is the whole "microwave popcorn dish" look . It reminds me of one of those skillet looking things that you buy and heat up and they fill up with popcorn, lol .

msimonov That may be comming in the future. Im working on it.

TJ, just cover it with something to make it look how you like it. It was made for go not show. Its just a concept and not the only way to do it. Feel free to modify to what suits u best.

 

I dont think Ill ever actually make it, Im trying to get a Dellorto right now (shhh...) with the money that my friend is paying me for working on his car with, but Im $50 short . I want to make a CAI for the Dell if I get it. I was thinking of using a sealed bonnet for the turbo applications, and then using duct to make a CAI, then, when I actually build the turbo setup, I can use the same bonnet, lol. I dont know how well Dells work for blowthroughs though, so I may end up with a different carb...I dont know right now, lol.

And msimonov You are so very right about the velocity stack. This would be an excellent improvement. I did a quck search and found one but the onely thing is it's measurments... Fits Holley carbs with 5-1/8'' neck diameter. 5'' high, 8.5'' diameter at top. Kinda big so there would have to big some setup to get it to work.
This K&N stack looks nice though!



two: sizes 2-3/4'' Tall Element, 5-1/8'' Neck $61.99
5'' Tall Element, 7-5/16'' Neck $99.99

 

Guys give me a little time! Im workin on the stack! One that WILL fit a Nikki.

 

Good ol' Carl - just full of surprises.

 

What are you making the stack out of? Are you copying a proven stack shape? I don't know all that much about these things....

 

Yes Im using a proven shape, no sense in reinventing the wheel.

 

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

Carl will definitely come up with something good. Just wait till we come up with a scoop for the ICAI - then the real fun begins

 

just a little update on how my cai is slowly comming along..
ive finally near finished my carby bonnet (just gota finish the painting of it)
here are some pics of it..

the side

the front

the bottom

it was all made from PVC pipe, 4" or 10cm pipe for the body and 3" for the duct and it was all glued together using a plastic weld called jb weld. 9hope the glue holds up)
im thinking of wraping it in that 1000mph aliminium tape that Rx7carl used on his setup. would it advised?

now for stage 2. buy a pod filter and relocate it behind the headlight and sheld it all off.

 

Well that would be ok, better if you can find some insultaing material (fiberglass) and sheath it in a waterproof outer jacket Like we did on pratchs car.

 

wrap it in fiberglass... now why didnt i think of this? its water tite the way it is now, just unsure how well its going to retain the heat... i might just use it as is for now and mod it later if needed..

and... rx7carl some were back in this thread u said u were had/gona put some other cai pictures u have made on ur car domain page. have u got the address to ur page?? thanks

 

What I meant was to make the fiberglass blanket so its waterproof, ie wrap it in something to protect it.

I've been too busy to get to the other CAI pics. Ill post when I do it.
