NEW cold air intake kit ideas

[einstein57]

M30 AFM fits in a new stock intake boot with very little trouble and no heating was needed.

Cool. I'll order a new boot and revise my mounting bracket.

the kits are also on ebay now, I probably need to revise the description a little because I rushed threw it.

I like the second one. How did you get your boot over the m30 afm. I hate the way mine looks with an adapter.
(pay no attention to my mock up filter)

I boiled my boot and heeted it up to stretch it over the m30 AFM.

At some speeds it is actually in "vacuum" there.


I'm thinking you could build a complete housing... We should talk

I'm way ahead of you dan. I even bought a brand new oem shield to make sure my dimensions will come from an unwarped piece. I was going to use some molding wax to shape it until i found out we have a rapid prototype machine at school. I was initially thinking of making a mold for fiberglass and CF units.

i know and getting the pipe bent is going to be a pain in the ass , i have no interest of selling

The trick is to use pre bent sections and weld them together. There is actually a plastic tubing kit you can buy at autozone and such that is specifically for designing intake tubing. Cheap too. And they sell bypass valves specifically for intakes mounted in this location on ebay for wet weather use.

No such thing as "pvp".

Finished product looks great. Hope it is on sale real soon.

this is a rough sketch of what i want to do, the pipe needs more bends than that but this is just to give the idea of what im going after

this is what was talking about... this would be the best i think.. especially for a e30s52 swap. ill be going with this idea... any idea how much the piping would cost.. can i use pvp pipes from home depot. :???:

the hose is half the length as it was before.


the old style kit weighed under 4lbs
this new kit weighs about 2lbs

I noticed this kit up on ebay. Kamotors, is this you selling the kit?

yeah, I need some money so I'm selling my current kit so I can buy stuff to make a better kit in the future.

I like the cutting of the grill. I might do that today it would probably help with my m30 box.

it took about 15minutes with a dremel to shave the grill open like that.

i honestly like these ideas i somewhat did the same... ill be cutting a large hole right next to the abs and will set up a pipe that will go down like the cold air intakes for the e36's... i don't mind the cutting... lol ...

What if there was a way to mount the filter as close to the the AFM as possible, and then just focus on designing an air-tight funnel to run to your source? That way you are allowed more flexibility in regards to pipe size/diameter. And if the system is built air-tight, it theoretically shouldn't lose vacuum as it makes its way to the filter element.
