I don'd post here often but I thought I would share what I worked on today to get a little more airflow. This is on a turbo H22 EG by the way, tell me what you think.

I cut out the aluminum plate for the front of the "intake" using the bandsaw:



Here it is after the first cut & a little bending to fit the curve of the bumper (clamped it to my welding table and pushed down, I must be gaining weight):



a little mockup after cutting the Ching Chong pipe, only ballers use masking tape when fabbing ****:





I am well aware of the fact that it looks like a shoe, I would've made the thing more tapered but there is an intercooler pipe right behind it that limits what I can do there.

after some shitty welding:





Then I went to town on the "porting", and gave myself a ton of metal splinters:



Some shitty pics of it sitting in place (it will be painted black and screwed to the bumper):





The car is on the lift so it was hard to get a good shot of it in place. Tomorrow I will make the piping up to the turbo, I will update this thread with more pics.

 

wow, that looks pretty good.. you should polish it make it REALLY fabulous

 

no no...it def needs to stay "ghetto" fabulous

 

Just send it off for powdercoating. It looks perfect as-is, just needs something to cover it.

 

wow, i bet if you made a few of these, you wouldn't have a problem selling them... esp. to k20 peeps. just a thought.

 

thats very cool

 

very nice!

 

Nice shoe! lol, looks awesome man, not ghetto at all!

 

Similar function, but lighter:

i think it looks good , just need to paint it or like toyomatt84 said send it to powder coat

 

great job man, that looks great, excited to see final pics.

 

Good work

Here is a serious question though, why do people have CAI on a turbo car when the turbo heats up the air regardless of how cold it is when it enters the turbo?

It's not about it being a CAI it's about getting the turbo all the air it needs.

I am going to make one because then I wont be sucking up all of the hot air from the engine bay. Anything cooler is better.

 

nice fab up,i saw this car in person and it is sick.

 

hey thats pretty cool..
definitely worth making considering how much money those damned things are
