PVC tubing is the best material to use for homemade cold air induction. Lighter, cheaper, whiter!

Here's my .02 cents worth..........The idea is good but the exicusion is not!!! Not enough air volume within the tube for the two SU's. As said previously, look at those 90 degree air travel path turns. In fact if you think about it, the front carb would potentially have a low pressure area created at the mouth of the #1 carb as the air rushes across the opening.....similar to a syphon.....not good. Also, the guy says the brass conducts heat away quickly.....well, if it can conduct heat away quickly it can also heat up just as quickly.....another NG thing. The only way this item would work is if it was part of a positive pressure system (forced induction),!? As said previously, it looks like a boat part!!! But hey.....someone will buy it...you can count on it. If there are people dumb enough to try and sell their reject project then there are likely people who will buy it. I'll bet if he would have polished the brass it would already be sold!!! ROFL

I'm sorry, I can't help myself on this one!!! Since when do you WELD brass??? And what does the seller mean by calling it RARE???? As in not very well done? ROFL I'm guessing the seller is "fightyourself" based on his responce to the posts. Come on....................bring on the S_ _t flinging. Yeeeeeeehawwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO HOW DOES THE THING CAME TOGETHER IF IT WASN'T WELTED TOGETHER?

Not a forced induction expert, but I think SU's have a problem with this sort of forced intake because of the float bowls.

Nothing like an interesting EBAY ad to make conversation on a dull day....

Your on the money Steve regarding the SU's. I guess I should have been a little more specific with my explanation. I should have said.......based on the Ebay intake, excluding the use of SU carbs, it might work for a forced induction system! "fightyourself" is fighting with himself.......he still didn't get the comment about welding brass. You don't weld brass, you solder brass. It's a bonding process as opposed to a fusing process.

Ok, Tom, but if you brazed it and used a brass rod as your expendable, wouldn't that be welding?

steve

forgive me 240ZX,

I'll watch the terminology next time.

but I do like the way everyone is responing to a ebay ad.

it's great!

I think I'm going to buy it and ship a piece of it to each of you for your collection... You could polish it up and put it on your desk for a conversation piece!

Come on, you know you want it......:stupid:

240ZX would like that polished and put it up his arse, so when people ask about it, he can tell them everything he know about brass and welding.

and about forced induction

Technically, however, wouldn't that be exhaust?

(Mike, if you kill the previous two comments, kill this one too because it'll no longer make sense.
