vintagedragfan Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 beautiful Joe! going to be fun snakin the cold air up to the intake, can't wait to see you tackle that!
tyrone Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I Love this build Joe... you're knockin it out of the park pal...
MicroNitro Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I was of course kidding in "demanding" to be answered, I was just joking around. I'm looking for material to build my own F.I. intake for a turboX2 440 I am doing. The one I built isn't quite right... This is were I get rentool and shape http://www.freemansupply.com/RenShapeModelingan.htm
Bonekrosha Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Cool, thanks. I e-mailed them today, I'm gonna order one of their sample packages next payday..
Prostreet Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Thx. Guys, Well i wasn't happy with the flimsy styrene lower intake, So it was time to bust out the brass and do some soldering. The more i solder brass the more i like it. The lower turned out good and i'm much happier now. Next will be trying to figure out how to do injectors and rails, i wanna run dual rails and i think i can fit them. The injectors will probably be just some different size round rod, It's getting pretty tight in there to make them look accurate. Hope to tackle that tommarrow evening. I started with some flat stock, 2 smaller pieces for the sides and 1 for the lower. Then drilled some 5/32nd holes. All soldered together. The 5/32nd tube added and soldered in. What it will look like when together.
comp1839 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 it's looking like it's $3500 counterpart. nice job, joe!
vintagedragfan Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 very nice work Joe! that intake is a major obsticle to get around, you should be pleased with it!
Prostreet Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Thx. Guys, Very happy with the intake so far. Had some time today so i knocked out the chute handle and lines, Scratch built the handle and used RB motion hardware,Took me 5 hours just to do this. my brackets were not 100% where i wanted them but it worked out, There is no way in heck i could do this in 1/25th with the size the hardware would have to be. Might start installing the pedals tommarrow, not sure if i have enough hardware, may also start on the ISP pads for the cage. Edited September 3, 2012 by Prostreet
comp1839 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 joe, i don't know how you did it in 1/16! incredible. handle and cables looks great!
Prostreet Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Thx. Guys your to kind. Well it rained all day today so i decided to knock out the ISP head pads. I used some thin styrene to make the backs and some 1/8" craft foam ( Thx. Clay) made the brackets out of styrene also and used brass hardware, I left the brass natural for some color contrast and added slixx decals. Edited September 4, 2012 by Prostreet
