BWR Cold Air Kit

Looks sharp! Is it one piece. If so, how do you install it with the IC pipe and the A/C lines in the way? Inquiring minds want to know!

I guess you don't install it with the IC pipe installed. The clamps are off of the upper IC pipe.

We are still working on the fitment issues. I should have the first "proto-type" done this evening.

What is looks like is you will have to disconnect the p-clips that hold the AC lines to the radiator and pull them towards the throttle body in order to slide the Maf Pipe in. Also, as stated above, you will have to remove the pressure tube that feeds the TB.

Side note. This is a 4" maf-less tube, and will require modification of the core support behind the headlight. Basically you make two vertical cuts and bend the sheet metal down for clearance on the bottom side of an existing hole.

Can you make me a 5" version for my GT42-76???:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Not to come off wrong, but having couplers in the system to tweak angles is a real benefit people do not consider, How many cars will the system fit with different headers, up pipes, and anything else that may be within tolerance but not exactely what the test car has, I think it is cool but IMHO may become a really big headache for fitment if mass produced. I would suggest at least one coupler for ease of install and to aid in fitment. But very cool none-the-less. I know that it takes alot of time and effort to get the right length and angles for that pipe, you have alot more patience than I.

Thanks
Bill

Bill, the customer this pipe is being built for asked for a one piece version. Lets say you were running a mass air meter, there is you adjustment coupler.
You are 100% correct. No car is exactly like the next.

That would be a challenge. We have a 5" 90 degree bend at the shop. Im willing to try anything.

will you guys be making these in 3 and 3.5 to ?

That’s what the ball-peen is for.

I do like the one piece look; and it probably would flow better than with a bunch of couplings. But; with the number of these engines with worn out motor mounts and elastic-like torque straps; a softer piece is probably the way to go.

Maybe a multi-piece/build-it-yourself for the worn out motor mounts; and a one-piece for the HP PartsNStuff mounts.

We can make them any size you want :biggrin:

With as much clearance as this pipe has everywhere, youd have to have a seriously jacked up combination for it not to fit. Same deal with our MAF pipes.. they just fit. Thats the advantage of making them one at a time.. we can allow for plenty of room everywhere when you're building them up.

 

[The_Six]

How much are they going to cost. I would think shipping is going to be tuff on these as long as they are.
If for some reason some one did have clearence problems they could just cut it in to 2 them selves that way they could put the couplings any ware they wanted

 

[JayC]

$289.00 plus shipping and that includes a 4 inch filter. Thats with a 4 inch transition from the turbo. If you need an adapter, probably another $10.00.

Jay,
I am in the process of making some saddles for the new ZO6 maf sensors, (nice to have CNC in the house finally) If you want I will send you one when they are done so you guys can figure out the best placement for it. After that we will flow/curve it and you will have one bad ass MAF sensor to use with a Translator. Let me know if your interested.

Sounds good to me.

Thanks!

 

[Mike Licht]

It will be a little while since I am in the middle if the the Trick 6 ignition system right now. But you will get the 1st good one off the machine, watch for it
thanks,
Mike

I knew he was good for something...

We hand build these to order, nothing production line about it.
