hm looks like a good idea...i was playin around with my intake tubing yesterday i attached a piece of home depot flexible dryer hose vent piping that my friend was gonna use on his civic to the end of my airbox (i was REALLY bored and had an afternoon to kill) and layed it out to the front of the car and closed the hood down to it; so i go for a slow drive around the block for the hellovit and a gust of wind and up flies my hood...no harm done it was an empty side road so i pulled over and reassembled my stock tubing. that was just BSing around but i like your project, i plan to do some real work on mine over the summer. What kind of cone filter is that btw?

i've had nothing to do since i've not been able to find a tranny until now. but it will be here next week since i have to send money order before the guy ships it. i'm hoping my dad will loan me the money to get the vg30et engine i found so i can have something to do but it's not looking too good.

The only thing i need to do now is put some self tapping screws in the battery tray to hold it down, get a longer tube for the rexerve/overflow antifreeze tank, and extend the maf wires.

HEY! I thought I had the cheapest CAI !!
With my 3" semi truck exhaust flex pipe! BTW, MAF is EASY to rewire! Just a request though, PLEASE at least paint the PVC tubing black or something!?

Cost
Wire was nothing, had it lying around. Flex pipe was like $12 or so (about $4 per foot)and the PVC connector from the pipe to the MAF at Home Depot was like $10 (which I thought was a rip off). So about $20 and time cutting the hole and saudering the wires and insulating them like they're supposed to be. Did a friends VE about the same way except we had to add an elbow.

except at autozone. there is a air filter and an air cleaner the cleaner is HUGE. it would never fit down where i put mine considering mine was a tight fit already. hey Ginuwin3112, you really noticed that much change? if so, i would try what i did and do an all smooth tubing right straight to the metal intake. like, take off the flexing rubber thing, i think that would cause a little bit of turbulence, and keeb the pipe the same size instead of reducing it, unless it will do the same thing exhaust pipes do when they are too big.

oh yeah on the tranny. i sent out the money order next day mail on thursday so the guy should have gotten the money around 3 my time on friday (i think 2 his time in NY) so he would have shipped friday so it should be here next week probably tuesday or wednesday.

are you worried about the anti freeze thing being in the way? if so, all you do is unbbolt the battery plate you have to cut a piece off the plate then kind of put it in there diagonally then get a longer hose for the container and move it to the back of the battery.

do you guys realize that over time, PVC will out-gas chemicals that are harmful to the engine and atmosphere? (PVC= poly vinyl CHLORIDE).. burning chlorine in the engine is horribly hard on the engine itself, and the rest of the compounds in the PVC make nasty pollution in the atmosphere.. that ****'ll kill you if you breathe it.
