Well, first off, I'm new here...so I thought I'd share something different with my first tech post.
While I'm building a 2.3t for this beast, I wanted something to help free up a few ponies and mpg's. The obvious fix to me was to install a cold air and eliminate the restrictive air silencer setup.
Here's what I did:
1. Took apart the stock system and took necessary measurements.
2. Got my hands on a 3" diameter 45 degree and a 3" 90 degree aluminum intake tube.
3. Ordered up some 2.5-3" intake couplers with clamps and a 3" coupler with clamps.
4. Modeled up the components I needed to attach a cone filter to the MAF sensor while keeping the other stock sensor and vacuum line in tact utilizing Alibre. These consisted of a spacer and a flange.
5. Wrote a lil CNC code and cut the parts I modeled from 2 blocks of 6061 T6 aluminum.
6. Pressed in a piece of 3/16 brass tube for the stock vacuum line and tapped the other hole for the pre MAF sensor.
7. Bolted all the parts together and here's what I ended up with comparing to stock.
Thanks for looking...more mods to come including a ranger header and a T5 swap.
