completed intake

[superchargedmorph]

Having custom intake made tomorrow for supercharger, using 3" stainless pipe leading from front left straight into compressor. Putting a K&N racing filtercharger filter on the front, the position should let in loads more cold air than the front scoop. Hopefully it will make a nice difference to engine response.

Good luck! :bounce:

Keep us posted, im very interested as im getting the s/c fitted in a couple of weeks!

[superchargedmorph]

this sounds outragious, just have to tidy up wire from sensor, and put engine cover back on.

[norkep]

You mean to say that they left the wire laying like that when they had finished

[JOHNNY-BOY]

Looks like a tidy job (once you do the wiring). Has it improved the performace any or is the sound alone enough to put a smile on your face.:smilegrin:

[norkep]

JB - ref the glowing emblem, I purchased on today so I should have it wired up by JAE:)

i think you need to move the filter,nearer and behind the headlight.............

at the moment its sitting face into the flow,and in the flow of the hot air from the radiator and fans.................

i also think a larger surface area/vector type filter would be of a greater benifit.....

but it does look good

Agreed!!...........plus the heat soak to the metal intake pipe being so close the exhaust manifold must also cost a fair amount of power. Perhaps re routing the intake pipe or at the very least some decent lagging should be beneficial. Also a heat shield to separate the radiator from the filter would be nice. Gotta try and keep things cooooooooool.

agreed.......and a cold air feed in would help alot.......even using a filter like the new pipercross one which is encased in its own cold air feed.....would bring some good gains,but as mark said the heat sink .....will be terrible at the mo.............that is what i think the biggest BHP killer is at the mo with the is200,the heat soak into the airbox is terrible,and the intercooler is way to small to handle it.............plus the return to the engine from the intercooler get to much heat soak from the radiator..............

these are things im looking at at the moment

here we are, filter is rated upto 400bhp, the place in the engine is allways cold to touch, filter 2"from front. Sounds like Mad Max's supercharged car:D:D:D:D:D

[superchargedmorph]

the old air box has been cut to fit, it also directs cold air down on to manifold, heat wrap is on order and so is heat sheild that will aslo send directed air in to filter.

Thermolastic Foil tape,3 layers deep, with thermalastic adhesive tape, will keep it cool, will be on by weekend.

Directional airflow head sheild also for front comming very soon. The main point is that the sensor works and No engine management lights come on, ( this seems to be a mojor problem in the states).

It will all be completed shortly. The intake for compressor is that close to the manifold and you cant come over the top as it will probably cause problems with the bonnet closing.

The intake keeps the supercharger on the boil longer, the revs dont drop so quickly, previous 0-60 in cold was actually 6.7-6.9,

tonight in warm weather bang on 6.0 seconds. Aslo mid range seems to be more potent. Made make shift heat sheild also directs more cold air onto filter. Sounds awsome and has improved things:cool:

[Leexus]

Cograts! Looks great! :bounce::bounce:

Just :wow:

[superchargedmorph]

Old 0-60 was 6.5-6.7.

With new intake 6.0 possibly 5.97, intake keeps revs higher they do not drop so quickly between gearchange.

Silicon pipe being custom made to move filter across slightly. Heat insulation going on intake pipe tomorrow, insulated heat sheild that also directs cold air going in tomorrow.

Will post pics when complete.

looks great....any improvement though??

[superchargedmorph]

Hi Vic,

the revs dont drop as quickly, old 0-60 was about 6.7 -6.9

New one on a warm night, on a bend. 0-60 = 6.0 secondsit may be a tenth under 6 seconds. The sound is awesome. It has gone back being hairy scary like when I first had compressor fitted. The filter will be improved more soon, custom silicone pipe being made to bring filter into airflow more. Some Very special insulation heat reflection stuff going on pipe and head shiled bieng made that also directs all cold air into filter.

Brill! Sounds like it's been worth the effort & youve found a new lease of life in the car! Good work fella! : )

[vic]

by the way.....have you seen the 'rod millen' intake for the IS300?? Picture below.... Thought you may able to get some ideas out of it as it has a heat shield etc...
