cone intake adapter

[nattyphysicist]

I made this intake adapter to fit a 3" cone filter. It's one piece of aluminium and anodized. Weight is 145g.

The material was an offcut from work and I anodized it at work also, so in materials it didn't cost me anything. It's about $20 CAD worth of aluminum though.

That one on ebay is welded and that's why it doesn't look at nice. You have to machine away the weld around the holes. I don't know why they did that if it was CNC machined anyway.

Hey, thanks alot! It's really great to recieve compliments.

I got the Swift wheels off my brother, who is a Swift fanatic. I haven't tried looking for them otherwise, but my bro says that they are pretty rare. Mine need some work, but I'm thinking it would probably be worth refinishing them.

I love the colour too. When I repaint it, I'm keeping the colour, with the grey bumpers and the plastic strips along the sides.

[nattyphysicist]

Looks nice. Both your car and your work.

Have you considdered now placing that adapter on a milling machine and milling out a rectangle to match the VAF inlet? That was my idea, a smooth flowing transition from round to square unlike the e-bay adapters.

ya, I have. I can't do a loft from a circle to a square on my home setup, but I can certainly make the exit port square so that you have a square cutting into the cone. Actually the one I saw on ebay had this design.

[ThaWeezord]

so sick, i would buy one...cheap that is. lol

[nattyphysicist]

I'm willing to sell these for US$80 or CAD$90 /each. Buyer pays shipping, or pick it up if you are close.

Handmade, anodized, one-piece aluminum, ~145 grams.
The design will include the square cutout at the small end. I will post a picture on Monday, probably in the for sale section.
I will also include 4 hex socket M6 cap screws for mounting to the stock VAF.
