7thgen with k20 swaps

hmmm... just outta curiosity... if i became an online vender once again.... and made custom cold air intakes with a velocity stack for around the $150 shippedprice range... probably cheaper... who would be interested???.. i finally got a wholesaler to make these custom intakes now... i could even do one for the good ole d17.... but its just a thought and kinda in process right now... i'll have a mockup of it and pics taken probably in the next few days

well i am working on a version that attacches to the filter.. the kit once complete will come with all piping, filter, and velocity stack.. so you can run it one of 3 ways..

1. straight intake pipe with velocity stack
2. straight filter
3. filter with the velocity stack attached to it..

i'll have pics with examples in a day or 2..

What sort of stacks are these? Are they comparable to the ones Shawn Hiller is selling? What size in/out?

velocity stacks are the bomb. I was down tunning my car last month and just for one we strapped one to a b18 high compression Del sol on the dyno, picked up 10hp! lol. Maybe i should get one of these for the track.. think you can make one that will replace a head light?

well... finally got in the velocity stack today...

dimensions are
inside diameter - 3in
outer diameter - 6.5in
height - 2.5in

This first pic is to give u an idea of the actual size





fyi:... the materials that will be used to make this intake are polymer based in combination with chromium plating that both insulates and reflects heat unlike those steel, aluminum and titanium intakes that are commonly found so that way the intake components stay cooler and deliver more cold air power to your engine.

I would personally rather have an aluminum one welded on, for a cleaner look. I would much rather deal with a filter and clamp, instead of three clamps, a coupler and a filter.

Good luck though!

3 clamps and a coupler and filter????

if you run only the air horn you only need 1 clamp... if you only run the filter you use 1 clamp... if you use the filter and air horn you use 1 clamp and a coupler... where is the other 2 you are refering too??

I'm reffering to the one coupler that holds the stack to the intake tube, via two clamps, then the one clamp needed to hold the filter onto the stack. I wouldn't run without a filter, unless I was at the track.

well... here is the 3 different configurations i am talking about


here is the intake with a straight basic filter setup



here is the filter with the velocity stack option but in front of the intake not in the back.



then here is the straight velocity stack attached to the intake...



im trying to do it where the kit will include all the pieces to do all setups.. so you could run the filter for daily then change it to the velocity stack for the tracks and probably use the filter/velocity stack option for street racing

I dont think this one would be very effective:


Reason being, you have a filter sucking in air, and the stack wouldnt channel the air in properly if you ask me. Just seam like it wouldnt work becuase the air would flow in the path of least resistance. Not to mention that then exstends the filter out and you would have to space the filter farther back.

well like i was saying you could if you wanted to... im not saying u have to if you dont want to.. after looking at the pieces of the mock-up kit i saw that it was possible to set it up that way.. so in hence if you wanted to you could... but the only 2 i am concerned about is the filter or velocity...


anyways i couldnt sleep so here are 2 more pics
