Evening boys and girls,
So I just picked up a used Tegiwa M intake from Kurt on these forums, for a bit of a steal in my book. Not to everyones taste I guess but though I'd try it anyway. After a bit of reading up on J. Cals Facebook article on back to back testing of various intakes, he mentioned about the small filter size of the Teg M might be holding it back. That got me thinking about a filter setup that I had in my garage that I'd removed a while ago.
Basically I 3d printed a rudimentary velocity stack at work, which I mated up to a Blox 6" neck filter. I bonded on a section of carbon wound sleeving that we also make at work, just so I could connect it to the intake hose. I tried this on the car and it sounded immense! But then again most open cones do so not such a shocker there. The vtec crossover was just rediculous due to the size. The one criticism it got was that it would probably suffer from heatsoak which is always a great source of debate, but either way a good cold air feed can only improve things. It was only mounted as a trial so I decided to remove it until I could sort something more permanent.
So, I set about to see if I could somehow mate the two intakes together and come up with some kind of hybrid airbox. The blox filter needs to be squashed it a little but lo and behold it fits (in a fashion). So the next challenge is to get it on the car and see what it feels/sounds like. Sadly I don't yet have kpro, but this should be sorted later in the year hopefully. I'll report back once I've had chance to get it on the car, maybe with a sound clip. Just thought I'd share ðŸ‘.
