homemade cold air induction

[fastgtfairlane]

first home made one that i've seen that looks good. I bet the PVC helps keep the air much cooler than a normal CAI would too! nice work man!

thanks for the compliment. it turned a little better than i expected. i am hoping the pvc keeps the air cooler than the aluminum. i got the thickest pvc i could find.

That looks really nice. I like when people come up with their own ideas. Great job!

 

[fastgtfairlane]

thanks, me too. i like to see different things done to cars sometimes as long as it is not way way over the top.

 

[96 blue moon]

Yeah, Me too! Just wondering did you use PVC cement where the two pipes join together or did you just press them in tightly together incase you had to remove them in the future?

 

[fastgtfairlane]

lol i actually used a small tube of superglue.

Yah man looks amazing.. Would be kool if you showed how it was done so we all could try.. :santa_grin: have you checked how warm it gets after a run compaired to your stock one???

looks good, i am going to try to get mine like a power pipe and fit it in the hole closest to the strut

 

[fastgtfairlane]

its pretty simple actually. not really much different then putting a mac or bbk cai. only you have to cut the pvc to length.

i know that the pvc doesnt get very hot while driving but i dont have any way to check the air tempature without a tuner and i dont have a tuner.

is it pvc or abs plastic? because I am not sure if you know this or not but when pvc is heated it puts of toxic fumes which would go into your car. but it looks cool.

 

[mustangspartan]

Why would the fumes matter to much i think thats more for human health...lol..youd be a real killer on the street..lol...that was lame

It will matter because it will come into your car. Have you ever spilled oil on your engine and smelled it in your car? same idea but deadly.

 

[mustangspartan]

If you spilt something it would be burning in the enginge bay and coming threw the vents.. If at all any i think you would need to have higher temps and those toxins would be from burning the pipe not from getting it warm.

its starts releasing chlorine gas at about 275 degrees. so it can definitely get hot enough sitting above an exhaust pipe that is 1400 degrees. But its not my car and I am not breathing it.

 

[fastgtfairlane]

it is i believe 1/4 inch pvc. its pretty thick. its also got 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of 500 degree silver engine paint on it too. it doesnt get very warm, definitely not as warm as the aluminum one i had before. i see what your saying though, i dont think it will be a problem however if i start to smell it i will replace it.

 

[blackgt4.6]

I was just trying to let you know. You did a good job on it but I didn't want to see anybody get sick or die lol. I don't believe you can really smell chlorine gas but not sure. good luck and be safe.

looks good. i just hope you saved all your stock parts for when inspection comes around. theres no way that thing is gonna pass inspection.
