5 people have them already. You won't have water problems if you run a hydro shield and I can always make a different intake you just have to pm me with your ideas.

I have one will be on the car next year and dynoed

It's fine, I was just looking for something more a less like the ZZP intake, but given that im a 2.4 automatic swap its probably impossible to get anything to fit in that location anyway. Just debating if its gonna be ok to run double maf extensions with an intake similar to what your building.



are you doing a back to back comparison against a regular 3" intake?

Josh@ottp

iTrader: (4)

I have a 2.4 auto car I am going to test fit the 3.5" intake on. If it doesn't fit I will make one for it. For the MAF extension harness, you can run two or just buy a longer one. I prefer to pull the wires out of the harness for a cleaner look though.

I'm a bit reluctant to start cutting up the harness and moving connectors from their locations should I ever decide to part it out and sell it again, id like it to just go back to the way it was without more modification. Lemme know how it works out for you on the auto car though.

No clue what a cobalt engine bay looks like but to fit my 4" intake and huge filter on my rear engine application I used one of these or a brand like it. Tight bend high flow. Odd ball part so I thought I would add it in case it helps you. Cobra ElbowsEPDM Elbows

awesome, please keep us posted.

Here's a wacky thought. Your TB is 2.5 inches in the opening diameter, and your intake tube is 3.5 inches. Who can guess the resulting issue here?

Trevor had one on the dyno. I think it was just a ls4 tb and this intake swap and it was 18hp on a m62 car. Could be wrong on the details though so search for it lol.

Josh@ottp

The intake is really designed for the ls4 tb and for high power tvs cars that are out running the maf table. Even on a stock TB there would be no issue.

Area47

Josh it's not against you. Even you have to admit the days are gone when people question "WHY?!?!" and now it is "uh, ok, i buy it now" Instead of looking into how it works and how it will benefit the vehicle.

A is the problem
B is the solution
X is the result

People forget to solve for anything else other than "OMGWTF SHINY!!!!!"

Hell build and intake that transitions from a 4 inch inlet to a 3 inch outlet with a smooth transition, not a stepped and see what happens to flow. Just throwing out idea's.

i gained just under 30whp with an ls4 tb on my setup from factory tb. it would be nice to see more gains with a bigger intake, but thats just my build

Spawne32

That seem's very unlikely from just a couple mm increase in the TB.

Terminator2

Agreed. A smooth reduction in intake flow path radius will increase intake air velocity (everyone thinks in terms of flow but forget about velocity) as the air nears the throttle body and no turbulence near the throttle body as an added benefit both of which will increase VE (of the intake)

the throttle plate and intake can become a restriction really fast especialy on a cammed tvs car it dosent suprise me a bit to see him pick up what he did and a bigger intake would probably pick him up some more the harder it is to draw air in makes the blower struggle to ingest air and kills power

Oh a TVS setup, with a small pulley, that would make more sense. Was thinking an M62 with just a smaller pulley, doesnt seem likely to gain that much.

some m62 cars will see a benifit from it also

Spawne32

iTrader: (1)

Benefit sure, 30whp, i doubt it. I would be more inclined to believe something like...12whp on a boosted car.

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

if you can find it on here there is a htread where an m62 car made 21hp under the curve with an ls4

I'd love to hear my whine with tvs 2.7 and this on it. :,)

Anything ever come from this? Gonna be in the market for an intake soon enough.

you can just open up the loom and pull the maf wires out enough to reach into the fender/bumper well. You shouldn't have to cut anything. The wires reach from the ecu all the way to the opposite side of the bay, so they will definitely reach right in front of the ecu. Its kind of a pain with the harness in the car, but its doable

ask me how I know

Spawne32

iTrader: (1)

Oh I know, harness work is so damn tedious lol but thats likely what I will do. If i dont buy a intake setup already pre done ill probably TIG weld up my own setup. Probably wind up using a maf tube from treadstone as I like their honeycomb grid tubes.

Open the loom and remove it.
I have two zzp extenders and all they would do is fail my maf and set a MIL

I might need to pick up one of these. I don't currently own an intake for the s/c swap
