Bringing this back up because I'm starting on mine right now.

AGearHead4Life, what did you use to cut all the excess off the top and the blind ports on the side? I was using a carbide bit in a dremel and it was melting it too bad. Also, I have found sheets of the Nylon 6/6 that could be molded to fit and cover everything up in one shot. Thanks

 

I found the sawzall to work best. When I tried using a cutoff wheel it just clogged like your carbide.

 

Just saw this thread as I did mine yesterday and was wondering if it was ever tested with boost. I used one of those oscillating cutters from Harbor Frieght to take the garb off. It worked GREAT!

I used a Mac Tools type 5 airless plastic welder to do the job. That thing melts the plastic in deep.

Mine's going on a jet boat running an LS1 with twin GT-35's at 18 PSI.

 

wow looks awesome guys

 

Old thread but good idea.

 

I cant believe I haven't seen this before.
It looks amazing, nicely done.

I have a spare truck intake to, hmmm hahaha.

Tooooo many projects not enough time

 

I appreciate info in this thread picked up a pretty good idea so I get to try something I have in mind with my intake, No I'm not going to cut it in half lol.

 

What size holes did you drill for relocating the vacuum ports and sensor? Also assuming you plastic welded those on to the rear of the intake?
