Heres my best,most working one yet..its actually coupled to the motor and ready to go as soon as I put 2 tie wraps on the 90 degree coupler.The tubing is the same size as the carb opening but the elbow is way bigger to make sure theres no restriction,I had to fit it in there with a spacer on the carb and the tube....plus I didn't have an intake elbow,just this one,lol.I'll put an aluminum savage filter on the end and it'll be good to go.It's probably useless but I have almost as much fun messin with stuff like that as I do driving it...almost

vizaracer

ok, i am doing this! i dont know how, but i am!! how do i do this to a NTC3 with a stock engine?? the engine faces backwards by the way.

skyneverdie

ahahahha, well make a HOT air intake.. :P

GALAXY

Lol.

What about 2 90 degree couplers?you could get the tube pointing to the front and level with the chassis even...you'd just have to couple the 2 in the middle with a little piece of tubing.The hardest part will be finding the tubing and bending it if it needs it.

ZipZap

Cool!

You'll get cool air and vacuum the track at the same time!

It's so nice to see people thinking of others...

LOL [sm=lol.gif]

kapowboyz

that would slow down the air from going directly to the engine but you can try.

GALAXY

How's it going to slow anything down? Theres no restriction.

I fail to see the point of this as there will be no advantage gain of this "cool" effect. If you think about the car's cut out in the windshield, first of all, the air intake is before the head of the engine so therefore it will have the incoming fresh air first. 2nd, there should be a steady flow of incoming fresh air from the cut out hole so heat from the engine should always be blown out the back and should in no way radiate over onto the incoming fresh air which the intake is sucking up in front of it. Whether the air is coming from your front bumper setup as shown or thru the windshield is the same exact outside ambient temperature because our cars never had to deal with sucking in hot air in the first place.

Cold air inductions are for real cars where the closed hood prevents the intake from getting in a nice stream of outside fresh air, something our r/c's DON'T have a problem with if you have your windshield cut out. And if you don't and trying to bypass the windshield cut out for the "cold air intake", then what good is that shiny headsink head there for?

GALAXY

I already said it was useless......read. Quit pickin on my vacuum,lol.

nitromacguyver

cold air is denser and that means more molocules of O2 that can get to your engine and that means more power.

.... 1)Wouldn't it be better to have the filter face forward insted of down (ram air affect)? and dont even say "dirt would get in" 2) Wouldn't it be better if u used a motor saver air filter or something at that level insted of a stock air filter? Geeze....

newbie003

yeah i would agree with 2slow2go with the motor saver air filter there way better

GALAXY

Theres gonna be no "ram" anything on a 2 stroke,it'll intake as much as it needs.

As far as the filter,of course a nicer one would be better but I don't have one yet,and if I did,there'd be no "ram" anything.

I was thinking about putting a "RAM" roof scoop on my MurCIELAGO to vent through the heat sink. I know this is off topic but Is there any type of air ride suspension for nitro cars. I think it would be fairly easy with CO2.

Sypro

cheack out this exhaust design i made- duel axhaust with no power loss and not super loud hehehehe.

sterned4

I love you...even if it doesnt add performance....I still love you for trying.

Sypro

i hope your not talking to me

raceme

lol i think hes in the wrong forum jp...yea what car would that go on to.. rs4 3 im thinkin.. are you goin to try and make one..n wouldnt two pipes create more backpressure than usually and not add but decrease in performance..

Dalejr08

I dissagree since i built mine i have seen proformance upgrades in top end and off the line time. It just copper pipe but it works great.

Gsir8

GALAXY: where did you get the metal pipe you used?

garynjr

What the heck are you using for a PIPE? Exaust pipe? I had one on my car and noticed very little if any difference at all. However noticed a huge difference with the MS Filter...

Sypro

Im not trying to add performance, im trying to not decrease it.

garynjr

Ok, I get it, you just like to tool around and make stuff. Hey what ever works for ya. I llike to do that stuff too.
