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

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..

yeah, the pcv valve is what causes the oil in your intake. thats totally normal. some people put a breather on there, but if you research on the net, some things say that it should be hooked up and under vac. its really up to you to decided if you want it or not.

if you just want 2 nipples on there, i can make them right next to each. it shouldnt get in the way of your ic piping, since youll be able to point them in what ever direction you need to clear the piping. ill also leave enough room in there for a standard KN filter if you want to change yours over at some point.
