Looks great! This would be perfect for my Camaro as the hood hinge won't allow the use of the TPI airbox. Just wondering if you had to relocate the battery to make room for the hose?

 

Ya bro, I think that is my favorite all around fab job on TGO so far. I love how it's a symmetrical air cleaner, and the hoses have some flex in them. Throw down some Mothers Protectant on those black hoses and they'd look killer!

 

Actually it was jetted pretty rich in the 750cfm edel. carb, so it is running perfect when giving it a little gas.

 

No there is a good space in between the battery i have now, and the hose.

 

how did you get it to go threw the headlight area the way it is? is the inlet area by the headlight already pre-formed to fit?

 

Thanks for going to (1 rapid 1),and checking it out!!!!!!

 

Dude I had an idea flying in my head about this but on a TPI though.

Tony.

 

ordered my kit and gna start on it tonight and tomorrow ill post pics as i go threw the process

 

as promised i got the pics of the intake installed and working.................


the first picture is the top view of the actual element and shroud for the carb. it fit real well and have no issue with the hood hitting the top. the second picture is the front view of the intake, and u can see how i mounted and ran the tubes. the the third is just showing how the tube runs from element to the mount at the headlight area...........................

 

continued...................... the first pic is where the actual mount for the tubing goes, its held in by four screw to each headlight mount. the second mount show a tube i made to fit in between the intake tube and headlight mount. the third pic shows what it looks like without the mesh in the front light. any questions, or comments let me know. thanks!

 

some misc pics of the car while doin intake.................

 

That looks awesome. ill have to do that to mine this fall for next spring

 

dude post a link. to your car if its "The most custom 3rd gen." instead of telling people to search for it. whats "(1 rapid 1)"?



billybob6110 good job. did you notice any gains from doing this?

 

Dude ,glad you found it .I put it back on page ONE of the gallery.There has been some great cars on this site over the years,big horse power, custom engine bays,expensive wheels,but they all lacked the rest.I wanted all of the mods in one vehicle,every aspect of this car is customized,rear bumper,belly pan, wheels (widened), brakes ,rear end ,suspension ,coil overs, ,exhaust (5'' tip real) ,door handles,interior (to fit)gas tank and filler neck,air intake motor ( hidden smog stuff),all done at home and all recycled from the salvage yard !!! Thanks for watching !!

 

I don't think that it really even exists. If it did? You provide a link to to it & proudly show it off. You haven't because it doesn't.

not bad for a junior member ,

 

Yea by the way those are 335/35x17 ' sorry ,and they fit !!!

 

Congratulations...You made me eat my words. Took several posts throughout the thread & several requests, but you finally came through. BUT.........

Visually? Wheels & a 4th gen interior. But that 5" exhaust? Even with what the car has underneath it is far from the most modified car here on TGO. Nice, but not Most Modified. Fatal88 had that title YEARS ago & Neil is pretty equal now, just in different areas. But my vote still goes to Fatal88. Sorry!

As for "Yea by the way those are 335/35x17 ' sorry ,and they fit !!! "...I'm running 315s. 335s would fit right in, with zero further modding & still with a full "trunk" & interior plastics the exact way they were designed. I simply didn't think the 20 millimeters were worth the higher cost.

 

I can't wait to see the car when it's finished.

 

my car used to run really rich and smell real bad at startup, but once i put this on i havent noticed the smell.... runs alot better too

 

Fatal88 ,had a full shop,apart from the front clip weld-on how hard is that.The rest is still stock. As per my statement it is the most right now!!! Sorry but what do you have done to yours ???? P.S 335 still beats 315 SORRY again !!!!

 

First off.....I am happy with what I have done to MY car. I could care less if it impresses anybody else or not. I build my cars for ME, not anybody else. Do I want more? Sure. Am I sad I don't? No. Am I jealous of you? NO!

Fatal has the same interior you have, so not everything is still stock. The underside is so chromed, clean & pretty (show car), you could eat off it. And all this was done in the mid 90s, except for the LS clip. He cut up a perfectly good show winning car to do the LS clip.


Big deal...You have 20mm bigger tires. I simply did not want the extra cost, so I did not do it. And you didn't tuck them under completely stock fenderwells. You cut out a LOT to do, so I'm not all tat impressed. Do you REALLY need our approval? You should be happy with your car, regardless of whatever it has or doesn't have. I'm in it for me, not to impress anyone else, so I don't feel the need to boast my mods over & over.

Have you looked at Neils car? Different mods, but still impressive. What about 1MeanZ? Impressive IRS & still some rear hatch, unlike yours.



My point is.....You have a nice car, but your ego about is as big as well. You have zero humbleness about the work you've done.

 

oooo man im sooo getting the popcorn!

and I SO have the most modded car ever! it has soooo many stickers that i have like 901 horse power.

but on a better not i do like your car, but whats up with the 5'' exhaust? i could understand if it was a deisle. but besides it looking like the batmobile......hey if your happy with it then good

to get back on topic.... their was a thread of some 3rd gens in japan that had the headlights out for the staight air flow cant remeber where that link is now.....

 

If you want to boast about your car.....Start your own thread.

As for Fatal...You have no ideae how much it changed over time, despite already being a show car, do you?
Fatal88 Evolution pics

 

I dont need to boast,I call it as I see it.I dont have a problem with it, you do huh !!! . As for Fatal88 I have seen all these pics Kido, Oh yea bad flames wheels and a front half of a 4th gen. Obviously you have no idea whats involved with these conversions do you. I welded in half of a Corevtte frame and the rear end in my garage. Like I said If you have a collision shop from family you can play all day,while daddy pays the bills.You are lost up there !!!!!!

 

I didn't lose. You dragged somebody else's thread out to boast about your own.

Time for a little cleanup on this tread....

 

WOW LOL calm down before this thread gets locked it really doesn't matter who has the "The most custom 3rd gen." and really theres no way to judge it, everyone has there own opinions that they think is rite.

billybob6110 glad to hear its working. i am eventually gonna stick a couple k&n's in the holes in my 83 trans am bumper. that should give it some air.

 

oooo this is what you can do!

http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/92...available.html you will get cold air.....

 

I was wondering if you could do the snorkles but still keep the high beams in place ? Don't know how much my buddy that does my inspection would like the no high beams .

 

any reason why u are high jacking my thread about whose cars better? quite frankly who cares................ if you like your car good for you thats why your building it the way YOU like it. drama everywhere damn

 

haha, thats one way to stop the squabbling, but back to the topic, isn't this sorta like the SLP T-Ram that came on the Firehawks?

 

Ha HA "L M A O" Thanks!!!!!

 

Put in a Hi/Low like in the Firebirds. I think the Camaros & the 92/92 Firebirds use the same size headlight, so the Hi/Low for a 91/92 Firebird, would fit right in. Then rewire whatever is needed/if needed to make it work & your good.

 

thats what i have in there now they have both the high and low beams in one bulb works good to...but took the car out for first time and it works awesome... i notice an improvement, on launch and at full speed. cruising around not so much, but hey it works though

 

Im sure this is a dumb question but it just occured to me. Can you drive it in the rain if you run the high beam ram air? Seems like the bend in the tubing would stop the rain before it gets to the carb, but i just wondered.

 

im pretty sure it would be ok to drive in the rain. im just kinda tired right now but yes you can

 

My car is a daily driver, and I have never had problems with rain.

 

That's good, this is definitely going on the list of things to do. Its a long list

 

You don't need to change anything to keep your high beams. I know there were some suggestions above and they will work, but I think they are overthinking things. You don't need to change the headlights at all. The inner pair are only high beams, the outer pair are both high and low beams. So as long as you remove the inner pair for the ram air you will still have high beams.

 

thanks I'll give it a try .

 

Yes, you could simply do that, but the light output for the outer beam Highs are based on have 4 lights, not just 2. So it isn't as great as it could be.

Replace your Camaro 4561s with Firebird 4666s (same size) & you'll get better light output.

 

From the specs I've seen, the difference is only 5 watts/bulb. That's not enough of a difference to make me want to spend the money to replace a perfectly good set of lights. But that's just me.

 

Billybob, which kit did you use? Good looking job & car.

 

i used the spectre kit, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPE-711/ . i used the other style that come out at the sides, but was hitting the brake resevior and booster area so i got the other style (spe-711) that fits perfect.

 

Broken link, but is it a whole kit or did you fab it yourself?

 

Monster, it's a whole kit. You can go to Spectre's website & check out all of their kits. They have an impressive line up.

 

Wow guys these are some nice setups. makes me want to do something like this on my car. Im kind of torn on those, sometimes I wanna do ram air and sometimes I just wanan utilize my cowl hood to the full potential. Sometimes Im like I want a supercharger and neither of those would work. Haha.

 

its a whole kit withe everything to install it. took maybe 30 mins to install the tubes and mount the headlight funnel, but aint bad for a performance boost id say

 

Yeah I know I was just wondering, I already fabbed a dual snorkel as you can see earlier in the thread. I was just wondering if it was a full kit, or the "kit" for the hoses, because I used the same tubing for it.
