I got ya. I have an idea of how this is going to turn out. Definitely going to stick around to see results of this.

Just curious, what size piping are you planning on running to the turbo?

 

I saw a video on youtube from some guys that did tests on CAI and pretty much showed that no gains were made from a CAI on the car they tested. They tested it several way and it was a no go. HOWEVER when they move the pipe outside from under the hood to outside the hood, it was a 5hp improvement on a 230hp car. So you arent going to slay dragons with it but it is an original project.

Here is the vid. I love mightycarmods vids by the way. These guys are awesome.

 

I dont remember the exact size. I think its like 3" or 3.25". Its nothing spectacular. Just a little 259

 

Let me know mark. I would have to play with it to c. Definitely not the easiest piece but I'm sure we could do it

 

Im okay with it just being black and matching the car. But cf would definitely look killer.

 

Indeed, I too love MCM. One thing they didn't mention though is that it can make a bit of a difference in MPG's.

 

thats for another day (they should do another vid) but I dont believe mpg is what SOCCER is going for.

 

[QUOTE=EXsoccer1921;7016239]I've been itching to do something to the car while i'm waiting on parts to come in. But i'm not gonna plastidip some random ass parts or put some fender stripes on it. I wanted to do something different. I remembered i have a spare set of headlights laying around so i got to work.

you ass

as for that mighty car mods vid... no tuning

 

lol I love mighty car mods. I know intakes dont really do much for power, but they make the car sound so good!

 

i think the name "cold air intake" is just a misrepresentation all together. it should just be called an intake.

and no, idgaf about mpg hahah.

 

whats ur economy while doing a 11~ second pass?

 

sucks it down like a guy at the bar after his dog dies.

 

Hahah maybes when i go to the track tonight i'll reset my economy thing right before i start my burnout lol

 

idk what is going on here... but looks cool

 

it does look pretty cool. but i can't show you guys what it looks like right now

 

 

You got to think with that mythbusters deal there wasn't a turbo trying to suck up everything in its path like a tornado. It does make a difference with a turbo. I was thinking about doing it on my car as well.

 

Blazins headlight came out pretty nice. I think he used a velocity stack grafted into the headlight.

 

yeah he just cut a hole in the lens and slapped that bitch on there. hahah. i don't think he's ever mounted it or ran it on the car though.

 

He has mounted it however I don't think he has plumbed it to the turbo yet. And as far as tracking the car, he has not been down the strip since he went turbo. I will try to get him out there in the next couple months. I have a new gopro I want to strap to his car haha

 

yeah him and i talk every now and then. the track just isn't high up on his to do list lol.

 

 

 

More pics or STFU.
