Well it's arrived

Gonna try and fit it at lunch.

 

It's on, took me 15 mins from bonnet up to bonnet down. Only thing I'll say is that the jubilee clip on the throttle body side could be a little bigger, it was touch and go whether it was going to slide over in the end.

For reference, this is what it's replacing

 

Are you still selling the tube kit?? I'd be interested if so.

 

Yes still available but a 6 week wait for black silicone so i will commence orders then unless people want to go with blue silicone (which i have).

 

Hi can i purchase one of these please. Could you please advise on payment

Thanks

Joe

 

Hi Joe, You need to get your post count up then you will be able to pm me, why not introduce yourself on the new members page. As previously stated I will be taking orders on the next batch in 6 weeks time (for black silicone) unless you want blue.

Get that post count up :-)

 

Any difference between them besides the color if not ill take a blue one. How much shipped to Brooklyn ny 11229

 

Yesterday, I received the job offer I have been waiting for. To celebrate, I will be ordering via Paypal but I will wait the extra time (approx. 6weeks) for the system to come with the black silicone connections.

 

Mazdaflash, there is no difference in the silicone it is the same quad re-inforced mocal stuff just in blue, give me a pm and we will go from there regards ordering.

1320 racer, congrats on the job ive just been promoted myself :-), i will put your name on the list for reserving one and contact you when the black silicone arrives.

 

Do the STR's use the same M112 Eaton as the XKRs / Range Rover Supercharged's? I'm slowly tuning my Rangie up and this intake looks like it'd fit, although might need slightly longer silicon either end (which I'd trim to fit).

I'm not fussy about colour, so do you have any in stock at the moment?

 

TheAllSeeingPie, ive contacted you about the tubes, blue currently available for silicone longer length should be do-able also. I'll make one up so we can try it (currently making some for back orders any way).

 

For information the black silicone is now back in (came in today) so we are good to go if anyone else wants one.

Thanks

 

Stage 2 updates?

 

Stage 2 is coming along ive had to take a different approach though, originally i was going to use 80mm tubing to follow on from the stage 1 and go straight to the throttle body unfortunately the supercharger return pipe was in the way preventing a straight run. There is insufficient clearance to take the pipe higher than this pipe without fouling the bonnet.

So back to the drawing board i have turned my attention to the cast intake already fitted. The current plan is to modify this to create the mould for the carbon reshaping the inlet to round instead of oval, removing some shapes cast into the tube and extending the part directly above the throttle body to improve flow. Obviously when made in carbon the inside of the tube will be smooth as opposed to the current rough surface.

Hopefully the combination of these improvements will translate to improved breathing and ultimately more power. My intention is still to rolling road the car before and after to prove gains. Other work at this moment in time is slowing progress i had hoped to have it done by now!

Thanks for the interest.

 

Hi

I would like to order an intake (w/ black silicone) for my x350 XJR.

Could you please contact me via my email address asap to arrange payment (I cant PM as I am a newcomer to the USA site)


I have the car booked into a dyno shortly and hoped to get this intake fitted before I take the car.

Many Thanks

Just installed the Caldoofy elbow and coupled it to the Mina intake kit. Great fit, super easy and sounds awesome! What a great combo for these cars. Took it for a blast..... the blower whine is just sick. Kudos to the boys for a real cost effective package that unleashes the beast in these cars. For sure more power in the seat and a wicked intake growl from under the hood.

 

^^^ That looks beautiful!

 

Thanks Cat Man Do. More thanks to Jon and Chris!

Jon (caldoofy) the quality of this elbow set up is second to none! Chris (Mina) your intake set up is phenomenal and the only way to go for these cars! Exceptional engineering and craftsmanship from you both. Can't beat the added HP/TQ for the $$.

I don't know what sounds better the sick Mad Max blower whine or the powerful vortex like growl emanating from the intake?? I'm going for another drive!

Cheers

 

Hi

Cheers
Phil

 

Will this work on the non S/C 2005 4.2L V8?
