Wy'ed or Vee'ed into a 45*~90* coming from the soup-pot.





I'm currently running a 62/65. Replacing it with a 62/68. I don't know that there'd be a problem with a denser intake. Haven't heard of anyone having issues as such working with similar flowing S400s.

Yes, the down-pipe assembly was a challenge to make.






I'm really tickled that after all the ciphering, it fell almost dead-on where I wanted it to.





The additional air afforded by the twin primary's (150lbs/min) compared to the former HT3B (80lbs/min?) will allow me to turn the fuel back up with the stupid-big injectors I've been running lately (5x18s flow-honed to match the former 6x16s plus additional work ).

With that, I like to think I'll be able to pick-up at least eleven more HP and hit 500 to the ground. We'll see.

With the new squirters, and simply removing the HT3Bs former restrictive intake from the soup-pot, had the former BFG All-Terrains fail for traction at the track. Period.

Got some better tires all around to fix that.

 

Yes I put the bottom bushing in from underneath. The bushings have a collar and that collar is what the hinge itself rides on. Top bushing insert from above and bottom bushing insert from below. I also used some medium strength loc tite to help with the installation. Good luck,should be no problem.

 

Ok thanks. I did them 2 decades ago on my Mustang but wasn't sure.
I see another use for my engine hoist in the near future.

 

Dave, it's obvious you've thought this one out, as in all your past build and mods. I know it's your build, but being in the industry of air flow, can you allow me to throw my .02 in? You probably will come out with something way cooler than my offerings, but if it assists in spurring ideas, here are my thoughts. A "tee" fitting, vs. a "wye" fitting may allow more room. Also, a " periscope" type fitting may be another option, which will mean less of the intake hose fittings needed, and ease of disassembly of these components for filter change outs, etc.
Increasing the width of the periscope body will allow for more air, and room should not be a problem.
The manufactured 1/4" beads on the round ends are for clamping holds for your isolation silicone couplings.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe you are involved in the HVAC industry, and should have no problem having the shop's layout man build these up and weld these for you, if you go this route. Using mild steel, I would build in at least in 18 ga. Minimum. 16 ga. And it's bullet proof.
If you need layout notes on how to make the tee, or any fitting, shoot me a PM.

 

Re looking at your set up, and that alternator being close, if you decide to go with a periscope type, the body can be designed with an angle kicked upward, to clear the alternator at that lower turbo. Also, the outlet for the filter routing shown in my sketch shows it at the center of the body. That outlet can be placed up higher, to make connection to your stock pot housing a piece of cake. In the end, that would be definitely a custom fab piece.

Got me goin' now, LOL!

 

I pushed a lot of wet, heavy snow with the old 1st gen this afternoon. I put two miles on the '93 just plowing out my drive way. We have been getting snow up here almost every day for the last 10 days, and I hadn't plowed in weeks.
I was starting to leave drag marks in the snow from the rear Dana 80 on the '95, even with 35 inch tires, it was so high.

The old 1st gen did a great job.

 

bigragu, Thanks for the offer of design.

you are correct, I'm in HVAC . . . . . . . . DEEP!

At this point, I'm committed to blending the two primary 90*s into that coming from the soup-pot. Keep in mind I've got to pass the secondary discharge down, and behind the primary intake plumbing, and then forward to the IC. As such, I require space between the intake plumbing and the primary's brace.






The final assembly will include multiple internal turning vanes.

It'd be fair to say this mess is a LOT like one of those Chinese puzzles where a select sequence of assembly is required that leads to the one key. In my world, said key, is down there where the transmission heat exchanger is (or was).

 

Heh hehheh BOIOIOIOIOING!!!!!

 

Today I found my "Certified Idle" decals and got them installed.

 

So it's running currently with a 62/65 secondary and taking the beating of the two 62/68's!!!! Good grief, that poor thing! What is your drive pressures and intake temps? That Hellman you pointed me to on compD seems like a good unit. I'd be interested in IAT's as you and I have close to the same air #'s.

I'm still weighing out the w/a option.....

 

I fired up old Sno-ball and plowed the driveway and yard and about 1/4 mile of road in each direction from my driveway yesterday....neighborly thing to do since the plows don't get up our way too often.



Going to go out again in a bit...snowed another 8-10" over night and it's pounding down as I type this.

 

we finally got some snow...about three whole inches, down in the lower teens....summer to you TC, but it's back in the 50s and the yard is oatmeal again.

 

we got 14" of rain this month.

 

Took the door panels off today and lubed up the lock linkages and window tracks.

Passengers latch was starting to stick.

Good for another year.

 

Supposed to warm up to 7-10*C next week....so all our snow will start melting. Then going to freeze again. Ahh fun, fun, fun.
