*edit* just read the other post re: starting point. awaiting update.

Thanks low_ryda.

Yes you will have clearance issues tho its very easily fixed. All you need to do is remove the rear stud where the stock intake screws into and voila! No problems at all and worst comes to worst ive got a spare top half BBM sprayed the same colour.

You cant even tell the rear mounting stud has been removed with intake on. All in all very happy. Wasnt so happy on the 38 degree day we just had but in all other conditions has proved to remain remarkable cool, perhaps due to the lengths ive gone to in covering up the headers. Full heat wrap and thick heat shield.

heres mine, went to super cheap and made up a intake pipe from a 180deg bend (had to cut a bit off the end), 3 silicon joiners, 90deg silicon join and 2 straight pieces off 3" pipe, also used the ef join the goes from throttle body to intake cos the 3" silicon wasnt big enough to fit over the throttle body, also have a pod in the box, and the silicon join rubed on the bonnet so i put some foam where it rubbed and its all good :lol:
i can hear it sucking lol

Hey Rhys.c did you get this made up? Or did you already buy it off someone else? And how much was it ? I was keen on getting one for my car.

Cheers

I had it made up by snort performance for promotion so they could get more sales. I believe the asking price they were going to have was $250.

perhaps if you can get a decent group buy it would be cheaper.

Ahh fair enough thanks for the quick reply :D
Yeah I was expecting the cost to be around that price there, I even called up some exhaust places to see if they could do something similar but only a few could and even then it was around the same price.

to be honest id go snort tho. i imagine that a standard exhaust joint wouldnt tig weld then do a full polish of the intake.

Looking at all these intake pics makes me wonder - why didn't Ford design the throttle body so it points toward the airbox, instead of away from it?

That's a similar set up to mine...however you have better silicone hose connected to the TB. Where did you get yours from or did it come with the piping?

I think it's because the way the air flows through the BBM. If you had the TB facing the other way, the air would flow through the TB and straight into short runners with the butterflies closed, causing random turbulence which in turns means crap air flow into the chambers and crap response/power. You could then argue why not change the BBM design so that the butterflies are on the other runners meaning air would go straight into the chamber. However I think that won't give you the low down torque the BBM was designed for at low RPM.

That's what I think but I could be way wrong considering I ain't no fluid dynamics genius.

Thats because I took your picture from the early pages and sent it off to snort and they made it for me.

sorry im not putting a pic up , they all look sweet guys , but i changed my battery to the other side (where the air box is )and have a pod in place of the batterys (old) spot so the pipes not so long , gives it more direct intake , i believe anyway , got heat shield mesh over the pipe so the extractors dont heat the pipe up ...fidly work to move the battery and weld another bracket in but i think its unique :mrgreen:

Hey mate, you should definately throw a picture up, I have been wanting to do that for ages, before I even got an EL haha. I moved my battery into the boot, moved all the wiring to make space. Going to grab air up out of the front vent into the bottom of the airbox. Love to see how yours looks!

it's been done. there is a method to the madness of the novelty sized super duper long standard intake, it helps lift torque levels down low by increasing air velocity or some kind of similar techincal jargon.
