In and out, it will be black for now. And the piece we are struggling with is the female of the quick connect to the valve cover ventilator.

Worst case senario I'm going to get with my local dealer and see if I can purchase just the fittings.

We do own jaguars and we choose to be different and so most of our parts are difficult lol

 

Mafioso, you're doing a phenomenal job. We all owe you a big thanks for your time in the development of an air intake tube that will help our STR's build more power.

 

Thanks guys I do really appreciate the compliments. I hope to have a picture of the final product soon!

 

X2 - much appreciated.

 

X3....happy horsepowering! , make us proud!

 

Ok here are some pics this is beta version 2 no powdercoat but with a cheaper PCV valve solution.

....Bellissimo!!!, soo far soo good amgio! , I guess now everyone can be rest assured your right on track to accomplishing this project from showing them the pics
Now the million dollar question will be; how much of a power gain this baby with throw out? ..only time will tell with the dyno test results of before and after....

*** By the way great close ups with the iphone cam

 

What about sound? Im sure it makes it a lot louder!

 

HOLY COW!

The sound hmmm, you can hear the blower plain as day windows up radio volume on 12. It sounds very intimidating. it started raining so I didnt get to lay on it, but it sounds awesome.

The powdercoated one is behind schedule the PC'er had a death in the family so it wont be done for a while, but its getting textured black on the outside and smooth on the inside. it will look 100% OEM

 

Wow! That is looking real good. Can't wait to see the final product. Excellent work.

 

Definitely excited to see the final results...

 

Traction is a problem since we got a nice storm but here is a small clip

Yes I know my CEl is on we are not getting into why it's on hahaha.

 

I want it NOW!!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!!

 

pretty big change in sound huh?

 

Sounds sweet! but hey why is there a check engine light on? Is that temporary rubber hose that you used causing it?

 

damn evap code, wife took the car out to get lunch and didnt click the cap (she thought it was like her bmw) when she filled it up. I forgot to clear it when I took it out for a spin.

 

lolz...Shiat, I didnt know it was that sensitive to get the CEL if the gas cap isn't closed fully

 

It was like that for about a week before it threw the code. I didnt want to clear it since I'll get P1000 Not Ready. so I wouldnt be able to spot any problems with the intake elbow. at least this way I can watch for pending codes.

 

Saw the clip on YouTube and left a remark. Def. more blower whine. Did ya notice more pep? Following an open gas cap during fueling/engine running: I believe the CEL should go off on the 10th engine on/off cycle? We're very excited at the prospects of this mod.

 

I had to do a rolling start, the roads were moist and had huge traction problems from a stand still, as far as pep the butt dyno says heck yea. but it could also be a placebo effect. deffinatly +5 on throttle response

To continue the intake saga, the next project might a TB and intake tract port.
