Here are my recent car tinkerings.

I had to try out what every one was doing with there "custom" intakes. So, I went to the local hardware store and picked up a 4" dryer hose and installed it. I don't have any final pics, but here.






Here I painted my VAFC black. I like this look because in the car it looks very stealth.





DYI oWn3d!

 

How much was the dryer hose? I'm gonna do that on my GSR.

where does the opening of that tube connect to? did u put it in the "mouth" or did u just tuck it behind the bumper?

 

What did you do to paint the vafc?

It just snakes under the bumper as seen in the first two pics.

I took apart the whole thing taped and sprayed it with black. Sorry I didn't take pics of the process i was in a hurry. I think there is a thread on how to do it with pictures somewhere.

 

im sure you know, but put some kind of fence type deal at the mouth of the intake to not let rocks or anthing into yer intake box. looks nice BTW. i might have to look into the DIY intake later on

 

Make sure you put some sort of velocity stack type opening at the inlet of your hose or no air is going to get pushed into it when the car is in motion.

 

sorry stupid qns what exactly do u mean?

No i don't have any yet.

 

i used the dryer hose with my intake.. post some pics if u can thanks!!

 

I've used the dryer hose for a few years. Def a + in performance.

 

I tried the dryer hose, but it seemed to really hurt throttle response, and I couldn't hear vtec kick in at all (thought it was broken...). Maybe my hose was too small? (sounds like a personal problem ) I went back to using the hard pipe that used to go into the resonator - seems to work much better, but I still gotta put it on a dyno...
