4th Gen Air Intake Ideas

[c0ncEpT]

thats called the sux2bu ram air setup and not what I would imagine Kolin to do on a build of this caliber, I had more of this in mind.

That wont fit. Dry sump tank sits on that side and fuse panel/ABS block sits on the other side

1) that looks terrible IMO and 2) I highly doubt it would fit as that guy doesn't have an AC condenser sitting in front of his radiator like Kolin.

I know the tank sits there I didn't say buy Martin's off him I was just using it as an example, get creative.

The drysump tank is exactly where that intake is routed.

Jeff - that was exactly my idea (even called Jonny but never got him down here) except the routing was going to be a little different with two pipes going to each side, cutting the foam bumper support to fit filters and there you have it. However with everything that I have now (oil tank, oil lines, oil cooler lines, a big fawking radiator, etc.) that idea is trashed. Also this project was going to be similar but also updated and look a bit better than that car did

Kevin - that is definitely for a vette and with the limited space, still something I can't do.

What about the K&N setup like has?

im planning to do this setup shortly. found a c5 air bridge for $30, picking up my buddys filter for $10, and grabbed a 4"-3" coupler for $15. $55 corvette replicated intake>90* intake and hot air intake setup with a cone fitler. anybody want my old setup?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

how do you accomplish that setup with a/c?

[meissen]

You don't.

Also, what holds the rad up?

[meissen]

If you look really closely in that picture, it looks like there's a black bracket right behind the corvette intake - maybe the intake is helping hold the radiator up? Although I do know that chrizar has an LS1 lid setup and he doesn't have anything supporting the radiator and it's actually staying firmly in place just wedged the way it was.

[dirtybird]

i just deleted the ac, mainly because my compressor was bad and i have t-tops but ill either cut a hole in the stock support or ill figure out another way to keep it straight. and i think chrizar might have cut his lid to hold the radiator in place, i know he had to trim it to fit under his hood. lets see what he has to say about it.

I cut my core support to set the filter down in it, and use the back of the lid to push the radiator back down. So far I've had zero problems running it like that, i do plan on getting a new hood and using the lower base to make it look pretty. But funtion wise it's just fine. I can supply pics if needed/wanted. I don't have a/c either.
