I got this idea from seeing all those intakes. so I did one myself.

 

looks pretty nice...where did you get the tubing from?

 

HEY GUY THAT IS SWEET,YOU GOTTA LET ME IN ON WHERE YOU GOT THE PIPE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FABRICATE ONE MY SELF, WITH NO SUCCESS!

 

got it from eclipse non turbo intake, I think the year is 99 model. here is another angle of it.

 

Verry nice work.
I am impressed.

 

Hey that looks alot like mine......oh wait thats probably because i used a non turbo eclipse intake tube also

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

very nice. how did you find out that the eclipse non-turbo pipe works with our max?

 

I saw on guy posted his pic of his max with the same setup. and he told me it was a eclipse non turbo. but, you have to do some mod on the intake pipe. first you have to plug up the vacumn tube that comes pre welded on. and make your own nibble for the A.A.C valve. and the other mod you have to do is that the flex section of the intake is bigger then the intake pipe. so you have put a piece of intake couple material at the end where the flex section joins the intake pipe. And. oh yeah, you need the intake adapter for the airfilter too.

 

yepp plugged up one hole, re routed some vacum hose and bought soem clamps, i had to mod my intake adaptor too but its all good

 

i have the pop-charger, but that chrome pipe really dresses the engine compartment up. how much did you end up paying for just the pipe? i didnt know you could buy just the pipe

 

the price of the pipe and the filter came out like 65 bucks. I couldn't just buy the pipe itself. it came with the filter. but it's all good, the blue filter and the chrome does make the engine area stand out.

 

"Re: Hi Flow Intake for I30 99' q45tech

Again why ? No matter what you read, true accurate dyno test (with the hood closed!!!!) vs open hood fake tests allowing cool air to enter will not show more than 1-2 HP improvement on an I30 at any rpm from 4-7k. Every 11F increase in air temp entering the engine causes a 1% power reduction.
What you want is a cool outside of engine compartment low loss air filter that won't suck water in the rain. It takes all the factory engineers some time and effort to create one.
Even 10 HP on a 3,000 lb car is not significant increasing 0-60 by only 0.1 second or less. Because simple less than $500 mods (filter/exhaust) ususally only add to 5500+ power when you need more torque in 1,000-4000 rpm where you spend more time.
In a post 95 ODB2 world, You'll get more real power out of a mundane thing like intake system cleaning than most aftermarket hop up items ($under $1,000) [except ecu mods if you find an expert].
Torque x [RPM/5252] = HP in US units."

"K&N [pop charger] hot air intake q45tech

The MAF besides providing air flow density in grams per second also measures the incomimg air temperature.
The ecu expects to see no more than 120F at the MAF for those Arizona summers because of the Q already effective cold air intake. Now in 100F heat and stalled traffic the under hood temperature can easily get 180F-190F this would be the air intake temp at MAF with a popcharger!
The MAF reads the temp and the ecu goes into convulsions thinking the coolant system has failed but no high water temp reading so it reduces timing to try to lower temp.
The ecu was not programmed to expect this combo because it cannot occur in the real world without something being wrong other than at hot soak start up."

 

I like it when guys get on here who know what they're talking about! It makes me feel VERY stupid when I read stuff like that and it makes me happy that I chose Logistics as my major instead of automotive engineering! LOL! That's good info right there!

 

so i guess i should cut a big hole in my hood and put a ridiculous hood scoop on?

 

i wish i had money to do that, i have poor man's cai
