I searched and couldn't find anything.... How do people usually mount the Funnel on the front of the car.... Like this one....
on kenny trans car....

 

fyi it's called a "velocity stack".

 

You know I was thinking that too but I wasn't 100% sure and I've been up for almost 36 hours... LOL ... thanks by the way...

 

Autuzone sells the velocity stacks vor $19 bucks..

 

You can use rivets to mount to the front end.

 

we fiberglassed ours in. this is a turbonetics velocity stack. i belive its 25 bucks for the velocity stack, a coupler and 2 tbolt clamps.(4inch)

how much of a pain is it to secure it once you put the frond end back on?

lol. we still havent built the tube to go from the velocity stack to the turbo.

You really don't need to secure the turbo to the velocity stack. If you are making a manifold, you can position the turbo to sit right behind the velocity stack. If your not making a manifold it will be difficult to always have to reach under the front end to secure clamps and hoses.

 

Put the stack on like dturbocivic's or Kenny Tran's but don't attach it to the turbo, in some cases you can ruin the dynamics of how the turbo draws in air if you connect something to it. Fabricate the outlet of the velocity stack to end up about 1.5-2 inches away from the inlet of the turbo.

 

You don't want to have to line up a pipe with the stack. In my opinion that is a serious pain in the ***.

 

Thanks for all of your responses... The way i'm doing mine is..... I'm using a pipe/coupler from the turbo inlet then connecting the pipe to the velocity stack... Does that sound like a bad idea?

Is this even when you put an intake on the turbo?

 

thanks for the responses mark and wicked...

 

i think the reason why you wouldn't want to restrict a "ram" funnel by putting a coupler to it is because y9ou may cavatate the turbo meaning you may push more air in there than the turbo can compress causing it to slow down and back spin. So all the excess air needs somewhere to go.

Do you think that will actually cause TOO much air to fed to the turbo? I'm not a turbo GURU (by any means) or anything but I don't think driving at a 100+ MPH will cause the turbo to slow down.... At the RPM the engine will be turning at "should" be WAY faster then the air flow coming at ya'.... Not being a wise @ss or anything, just saying what I think... Correct me if i'm wrong though...

 

back from the dead.........

does anyone have any real world results using a stack versus no stack? i'm thinking it would act quite differently on the the track at 130mph compared to the dyno.
