ghetto intake

[Bigfunkytown]

Instead of hating on this guy and others who are trying new stuff to get a colder air charge, give him/her some positive feedback on how to do it better. Instead of saying it won't work, tell the guy what might make it better. I have personally tried the cold air modification, and have found that their are benefits to doing it, but it does have drawbacks. Dose not mean it don't work, just means that more research is needed. My HP gains were minimal.

Nice stock STi

[iTxD]

I don't understand how this is ghetto? Isn't it simply re-routed to a desired spot where it'll suck up more air? Or is it simply a cold air. I don't see any ghetto-ness unless I'm oblivious.

[bmxin4lfe]

is that a dead bird?

[TrollingForYou]

Dont be suprised next time you go to change your filter you have giant ass bugs crawling around in your box.

[rextuner03]

You wear that feather behind your ear at night and sing moulin rouge don't you? Lol

[cookie73942]

what happens when you run into a deep water puddle lol NO MORE ENGINE FOR YOU..

[buddyclubs]

this method is the quickest way to clog ur air filter if u daily drive it!! only recommended for track racing because the engine gets a lot hotter and needs cooler air. save urself some headache and don't do this to ur car! its not going to make ur car run any faster or gain horse power, it may decrease horse power and gas milage!

[kapow151]

@buddyclubs well said

[REWej8]

@buddyclubs thats stupid this is a cold air intake he has a filter in it. it increases power because cooler air is denser. if you suck up air that has been heated by the engine you can't get as much because it is less dense. it works better for race cars yes but the pricipal still carry's over.

[buddyclubs]

@REWej8 you can run this type of idea and it may seem fun at the moment unfortunately

it will bring you more hassle rather performance in the long run. if you drive it daily,

during summer time if the filter is this low it expose to more dust and debris that can clog and winter you have to worry about water getting through the filter and into ur engine unless you have a air bypass filter on the intake pipe closer to the engine incase of flood, get into some real engine tuning and stop kidding.

[h88auto]

watch out for water puddles

[hduncan2587]

Another disadvantage, now you get that much more dust and bugs shoved into the filter. I tried a similar intake with my car, and in one day I had maybe a dozen grasshoppers and butterflies wedged in the crevices. I ended up having the intake sitting up near the headlight, with a second hose down at the bumper so that when moving, it'd blow cool, fresh air across it, but without the vacuum sucking every single speck into my airbox. That WRX isn't as ghetto as the Echo I have, BTW.

[TechWizard28]

Is the ghetto part suppose to be the feather duster a a filter?

[tokyotopp]

Drive your car in the rain.

[TeckademicsRKFD]

aghh poor scooby, dont rev the piss out of it if its a 07, we get tons of those with engine damage in the shop

[kornfan43107]

thats not a bad idea at all. i like but i it wouldve been better if relocated that to like the side of the bumper, so you can have you fog lights back. just a sugestion..

[vertec96]

Not ghetto, actually great idea. Like drags using headlight housings. I like it.

[carveriscool]

Nice feather toe hook on your hawkeye.

[miket144]

have you gone through any puddles and sucked up water yet??



[WarpedNut]

street duster 

[ericole01]

this reminds me of when i was in highschool! i had a riced out 95 civic with a cold air soo low one rainy day i hit a huge puddle, sucked in a shit ton of water, and blew out the side of my motor.. i saved all the pieces! hahaha

[wtfwhoisthat]

I'm getting really turned on, watching this.

[mindharvester]

can it give a bj?

[daZzleV]

lol it lives!

[johngorgis]

now thats a cold air intake

[tylerksmith221]

its not ghetto... its custom

[warewolfsnimpalas]

Can u imagine all the air u'll be taking in. Nice. I wana do this when i get my car. There must be a boost in hp when hitting the highway.

[Daminion1000]

NIce butt tickler ya go there

[olguinmarco]

Heliraisers9 LMFAO.!!!!! xD

[heliraisers9]

where can i buy the feather that makes my car have more horsepower lol jk

[Maniakq1]

this will end up in disaster

[torquemada67]

@Maniakq1

it´s working for more than two years now, so, no, no disaster

[belizetj]

@torquemada67 I think he means the feather will get sucked into ur intake and fuck up ur motor.

[andr310295]

@torquemada67 What kind of car is this ? sorry for the stupid question 

[fastblaster240]

@Maniakq1 i know many people that have done this on drag cars or street cars and i would think that it should make more power because the air will be force in and if he has a filter some where in the tubing to the intake it should be fine...

[EmilianClarinet]

lol

[03SilverMustangGT]

So you're willing to kill your engine in the rain for 3hp? wow

[chris12123212]

so all youve got is stock airbox housing with after market filter, removed resonator and a hole in the bumper? thats basically what ive got now, had to take out the hose since the big rain storm, also how did you connect that screen onto the bumper? glue? or what

[chris12123212]

and hows that do in the rain? mines the same and it sucks in water so i ghetto rigged it with a water bottle, what have you done

[torquemada67]

I disconnected the hose from the air filter housing (my tuners advice).

And I have an aftermarket drop-in airfilter

[chris12123212]

so all youve got is the stock air box, removed the intake resonator and after market filter? im about to do that but i feel like the hose would give more power on the highway

[armedturtle]

DAMN THAT SUCKS. literally, lol great stuff.

[pepene93]

i was gonna do this to my car, but i dont really wanna give up my fog lights.

[torquemada67]

yep, that´s the disadvantage

[pepene93]

i was thinking of having some sort of scoop under the car, but that would be a pain to use with a cone filter. only solution ive found is this 'apollo' air box, which costs $200, so ill just stick with a regular cold air intake.

[hernandadmx]

@pepene93 naw.. Some JDM tuners are in the pursuit of function. THe "function" or versatility of your car is much better with fog lights than those 2 Hp you don't even use

[ERIC933G]

@pepene93 but it behind the fog light

[KuostA]

ingenious. gj. which intake is that

[torquemada67]

glad you like it. It´s custom made, some hoses, the fog light cover from the dealership, the snorkus delete, and the OEM airbox with an aftermarket filter, no biggy, cheap, but effective

[fastcarkid24]

ya cuz the front looked diff.

[torquemada67]

ónly differences: JDM S204 front lip, and the mesh of my grille is a little different to USDM. My intake hole is a fog light cover, that are the only differences to USDM, rest is the same.

[fastcarkid24]

is that a sti

[torquemada67]

yes, european version, called EDM WRX STI MY06 (modelyear 2006)

[fastcarkid24]

thats not ghetto thats nice

[torquemada67]

thanks, ghetto is referring to the used parts, it´s a acronym for this

[2fast4all]

nice sound
