I had an extra cone style air filter lying around, so i thought i'd give this a try. I just used some plastic pipe and a 45 degree fitting.

 

talk about racing on a budget

 

hopefully that PVC can take the heat

 

this has been done many times before and i remember reading that the pvc will emit fumes that are harmful to the motor.

 

It's not pvc pipe. It's called CPVC. It's used for underground water mains and fire sprinkler installs. It' dosen't give off any gases and is fairly heat resistant. I know it's pretty ghetto, but i've always wanted to try it.

bawahahahahaha, dood you can buy a used kraged intake for like 20 bux.

 

ever hear of eBay?

 

Hahahahah...I know, but i got all this **** for free.

 

well if u are going to run with that, at least clean that filter up and re-oil it. The K&N filter cleaner kit is only like $10 and its at any autoparts store

 

You should go to MIT or something

 

lol i spy an automatic anyways gj on the idea

 

hey, don't look at my automatic you perv! lol. I guess since i completley cheaped out on everything else, i can splurge for the filter cleaner kit.

 

i have a cleaner kit if ur interested in buying it let me know.

 

Where did you get that 45 degree connector?

 

If the PVC can take the heat, then you'll be fine.

 

Typically when we have to make a HomeDepot intake... we keep the hood closed At least flat-black it or something
Usually we make them for temps... to get the car home, or an order didn't ship in time. Not on-purpose. and we definatly don't post it up on H-T.
Post this ish in the ghetto thread in A&C for sure

 

kinda cool fitment looks good

 

you can find a real one quite easy. for cheap

sometimes with boredom strikes, it doesnt matter whats available, as long as you are tinkering with something hahah

atleast thats how I am, all the time

 

If i were a cop i would say " hmmmmmmm.... Well Son heres your $300 Reff ticket have a nice day " lol. at leased u saved money now... haha

 

Don't worry guys, i was just doin it for kicks. It's not like i'm gonna start mass-producing them and trying to sell them on ebay. Say what you will, but even though it's pretty cheap and ghetto i'm convinced it provides a smoother path for the airflow than the stock honda "rubber hose" intake. I used to install fire sprinklers so i just had all this stuff lying around. The orange CPVC can withstand temperatures close to 500 deg F. My next stupid idea is to try using it as charge piping for a turbo setup. Obviously i wouldn't hook the plastic pipe straight up to the turbo. But i'm gonna try running it from the intercooler to the throttle body. When we test our fire sprinklers, we charge all the piping to 200psi, so the pipe can handle it. FLAME AWAY!!!!

 

Use electrical gray PVC, heat it, and bend to 45*. No need for an extra fitting and a harsh corner. More airflow. *rollseyes*

 

I've seen a guy in the Supra Forums do this with an intake system- downpipe and all.

^__^

how fun

 

damn thats no doubt ''ghetto''

 

Paint the pipe black.
