New Custom CAI on Supercharger with Alky
Saturday, August 25, 2007 3:24 PM
Today I made a new intake for the new engine and supercharger. I started off with some 3" mandrel bends and cut them to length. Then I welded them together and smoothed out the weld that you will see. Next I powdercoated it with Translucent Blue to match my IDI cover. I still need to buy a new black elbow for it. Then I hooked up my alky again to the new intake. I used an M3 nozzle. My afr is still a little too rich for me at 11.0 through redline with my 2.6" pulley running about 8 psi. Now on with the pictures.

I would rather have a wet filter than a wet malfunctioning TPS.

i would have used the tb spacer with the ports in it and run it after the t/b so as to elimate it totally and make sure that it would maximize the amount that the s/c sees

The water injection is still before the tps sensor. You should have just used a throttle body spacer. By the way is there anything you can do to help ease the 90 rubber bend right before the throttle body. That hose rubber coupler does not look to reliable like that.

That was an old 2.75" rubber elbow I had laying around the garage that I had used because I had nothing else and I am waiting for my new silicone 3" elbow to come in. As far as the tb spacer, I just havent gotton around to doing that yet.

I put a full 3" on mine recently too, with alky nozzle.

Why would he have a wet filter at idle? It's not injecting unless it's boosting.

Love the look but don't rely much on the alky with that placement... Being that far away from the s/c definately isn't going to allow for the alky to give you all of the benefits. When you get a chance just grab a TB spacer and you're good to go. Keep up the good work man!

I like what you have done, but I think your nozzle should be closer to the TB

I want to do something similar to what Gary did to his Sunfire. I just haven't decided on moving the battery to the trunk or put in a smaller battery up front. Then I can run a straight pipe to the fenderwell

Tonight I am going to install the nozzle in the metal pcv adapter right before the Throttle body. Hopefully I notice a big difference. What nozzle do you guys think I should use? I have an m3 and m2 in stock

Well I installed it in the pcv pipe adapter or whatever its called . I put a 90 degree elbow on the nozzle to get it directly in the center of the TB opening and also installed the M3 nozzle. Wow it feels like it pulls so much harder now. I wonder if I can step it up to an M4 nozzle now. The intake temps are still around 145 degrees.

most of your power with meth comes from the ability to advance timing and or running an even smaller pulley.

WTH! I have basically the same setup, but my intake temps are 200+!! WTF I don't get it....I mean I do have the 2.5" pulley on there...I don't think it makes that big of a difference...maybe it does...

.. with the over dive crank pulley (5-9.5 psi form 2500RPM to 6800 RPM,) my intake air temps are ... hmm 80. i am spraying watter right before the TB. just watter, better at takeing away heat.

bad move installing in that black metal peice. soon it will rust and the paint will 'flake' off. and guess where that goes.

wish i had the picture of it from a guy on here.


m4 will be a good one to go with . i loved it on my stock pulley.

hmmm with a alky kit how small of a pulley is it safe to go with ?
