ok.. well tonight i finally put on a cold air extension tube onto my 20g..

first off.. a little background.. for some reason i have a retarded kit cause my intake for the turbo would sit damn near on the tranny and not up higher like most i have seen.. i didn't like this cause of so much hot air that is down there..

anyway.. i went on ebay and got a cheap 25 buck intake for an nt eclipse.. it was a little bigger than the hrc pips so i had to find some reducers and what not..

anyway.. i ran the tube down in front of the driver's side tire, behind the dirver's side air scoop on the evo bumper..

let me tell you.. what a difference.. at launch i will admit the turbo does take a fraction of a second longer to spool.. however when your crusing down the road.. the pickup is incredible and the car definetly feels more pwoerful when driving down the road. must be all that cold air getting right into the intake and piping rather than all the hot air from before.

also.. anyone remember what their ram air intake sounded like? it sounds close to that which i think is also very cool.

for 25 bux.. im very happy.

Nice...

So now that you have a cool intake, you wanna... hand over the turbo setup}( ? LMAO!

lol... errrr

How long have you been working on that beast? I remember your other sig pic of it sittin on stands and was wondering if you ever got that back together. Looks nice imo. :thumbsup :thumbsup

the cars been running while ive had the pic in my sig.. it hasbn't been down for at least 3 months now.. i just liked that pic

all together.. ive been modifying it for about a year now.

James

Man I like it a lot, but are thoes Cavy rims?!? LOL, I bet not, but they look like em'.

You really noticed a power difference? When the air is compressed it gets extremely hot anyhow... Do you think I'd notice a gain at 7psi?

not sure if you gain anythign or not. i would assume so.. i know that when i put it on the car felt more spunky.. hehe

^no it may not be my girlfriends eclipse, but i sure as hell wish it was! :bowdown great job man..

He he... thats my G/F Eclipse :thumbsdown there :D .

lookin good! hey how about new videos? I saw your old drivin vids, good stuff. I just did 265 at 16 psi, that makes me want a 20g compressor!!! you got a lot of us skunked! <drunked

ill try and take soem more today

James

hey on your intake theres those little holes. you should get those little rubber caps they make and cap those. also, CAI on a turbo doesnt do much.... just my .02 though

looks good man :thumbsup i like your vids! im makin my own 2gnt dvd as we speak for a digital film class. comin out pretty good actually :-)

woah...that video was wierd, lol. it was like you were talking and stuff, now i feel like i know you or somthing. :P :cheers i dont like working on saturdays either.

that CAI looks pretty damn good to me, like others have mentioned, im not sure how much it helps...but its still some good work. :thumbsup

hehe.. well i think it is doing something thats for damn sure..

the car feels like it has more throttle response at high speeds.

James

try cruisin with no filter. they say you can get a 2psi loss out of a intake filter, thats why those drag beasts just have the turbo hangin out the hood, lol. no filter is bad obviously because you dont want to suck shit up, but it makes ur car run way insane...just thought i'd share


my .02
