Here's a far away shot of the Carbon Fiber cold air intake I am working on. It was just hacked together with some scrap CF just to make sure it fit in my car. I'll actually do a real one and dyno test it in a couple weeks maybe. Should be fun, it assumes a battery relocation to make it straighter.



cool eh?

This is what my finished pieces usually look like



Opinions? what makes a good intake design?

 

looks nice, off the topic but what other carbon fiber peices do you make

 

I would guess a good intake design would start off big from the begining,like 3.5" to 4",and taper to the size of the throttle body.Some say it would work,some say it wouldnt,but then again,if it really didnt work,then why is the stock intake piping made that way???

 

looks good, how much will it cost? 4th gen im assuming....

i thought you were going to work on the sunroof.

yup this is 4" tapered to 3" gradually to the TB.

I say a good one is a 4 to 3" tapered that then runs to a light weight aluminum TB and then into a carbon fiber intake manifold, all perfectly matched in interior diameter and what not because you make it as a one peice unit all assembled... and if you that you can *give* me one and I'll test it out for a few years for you

 

joel, stop ******* around with this amature crap and make us something we dont already have. like an intake mani for N/A!

it's in the works, just by someone else...might have some input but yeah...things are happening.

haha what can I say I had time to kill while the vacuum pump was running, and home depot was around the corner

Yeah I know what you mean on that one...a full system would awesome...actually that may save some fabrication issues...hmmm...

someone else is always making parts. you are the only one that follows through.

 

i want a carbon fiber windsheild

 

looks like it will work, ill take 2

 

Very nice!

 

Looks pretty good, are you gonna use a k&n fitler w/it?

 

can u make one for my 84 prelude? e-mail me at casper3292002@yahoo.com

 

how's the 5th gen spoon style lip coming?

 

Dynos, dynos, and more dynos. If it doesn't make more power than an AEM cai then you won't make much profit. Now as far as a one off piece goes, it is a ******* beautiful idea man.

Yeah I want it to be better than an AEM CAI. Other than that I don't care so much. Even if it's the same I'll be happy with it. Obviously it should be better because of the excellent heat transfer properties.

So unless I totally blow the design it should make more power longer than an AEM

two projects to finish off first...then it will be done...As you can see it's mostly on there already

 

the 84 already has a cold air intake on it from the factory and i make a custom light scoop that feeds it colder air.

 

how bout a cheap carbon fiber intake manifold

Yeah I should really get into that CHEAP market..I hear it's good for making money lol..

Anyway I have a dyno appointment for Friday...so I'll try to have a functional prototype by then

 

Cheap refers to quality.

inexpensive refers to price.

never buy anything cheap, but always try to get something inexpensive.
