FS: Custom short ram intakes for the 3sgte, with recirculation, let me know who wants one! Options

[lagos]

as a fun project, i decided to make myself a short ram intake for my car. it came out pretty good, so i figure id post it here, to see if you swap guys would want me to make more, since no one really makes an intake for those of us that dont want to relocate the battery.

EDIT: in *theory*, this intake should also work for any 5sfTe guys.

some benefits of the intake are:

less restriction of airflow over the stock intake.
no need to relocate the battery
optional recirculation fitting for recirculating the bov
good replacement for a stock 16yr old rubber intake that came with the motor.
comes with 3in to 3in coupler from the intake to the afm
comes with 2.75 to 3in reducer to form a proper air tight seal from turbo to intake.
one 1/2 fitting for pcv valve
one 1/2 fitting for idle hose
one 1in fitting for bov recirculation


here is how the prototype looks. any rough spots you see in the prototype will be smoothed out for the ones that ill sell, for a cleaner look.


one of the ones recently made:

and here is how they would look in the engine bay:

straight intake:


price:
70$ plus 10$ shipping (angled with recirc fitting)
60$ plus 10$ shipping (straight with recirc fitting)

these are made to order. please allow 2-3weeks for delivery

Man i totally forgot about my ic piping.. its not installed yet, its jgreenings old pipes.. here is a pic where im holding it over the top mount.




It looks like it might be fine going by it but i cant tell since this isn't installed..

About the PCV valve, thats like the crankcase vent right? is that the reason my intake manifold has oil residue all on the inside? can i just put a small air filter on the pcv itself? if so i will do that and then i wont need that extra fitting on this pipe..

the IC piping is my only concern right now, especially since the intake pipe is 3in.

any ideas?
