My home made intake made today :)

[ScottRallye]

Just noticed there is another thread the same made today haha here is what I knocked up tonight.

Made using a ITG filter, and with help from the fabricator I work with he made up the pipework and also got busy on the lathe and machined up the boss on the throttle body end of the pipe and then I welded it all together, result is awesome looks, sound and what feels like a pretty decent gain in bhp! Which I will test on the dyno as ive had a result of 175bhp with a pipercross panel filter so we will soon see whats changed.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

That looks really good actually! You're from Abergavenny? Fancy making me one lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

That looks very well made. Certainly worthy of a £180 price tag.

 

[Wick]

Tidy welds!

 

[Jay.S]

Nice bit of TIG welding.

 

[Budgie]

That's epic!

 

[Tunst]

Thats proper!

 

[LiamR172]

Get 100 of them made and sell them at 150 quid easy!

Looks awesome, really tidy welding

 

[mi16chris]

Stunning mate well done

 

[ScottRallye]

Haha cheers lads! Took a fair while to make as you can imagine getting it to fit perfectly, il be at fcs on the club stand so feel free to have a closer look.. The filter cost £60 plus a few hours labour so I doubt many would spend £150-200 on this kit when the ktec is readily available.

Thanks for the welding comments, I take alot of pride in welding, doing the job I do makes it cool too!

Basically make all performance parts, not cheap stuff like most bigger companies.
Radiators, intercoolers, oil coolers, catch tanks, fuel tanks, swirl pots etc I'm your man

 

[Scrooge]

You have epic welding skills.

 

[Bobby.]

Man has skills!

 

[EvoFq3o0]

Wow looks really good, Just on the off chance how much would you charge to make another?

 

[Rob]

Proper skills as said, great looking intake though.

 

[Dan@SJM]

The filter cost £60 plus a few hours labour so I doubt many would spend £150-200 on this kit when the ktec is readily available.

Difference is yours is worth that price tag.

 

[ScottRallye]

Hmm I would have to discuss with the fabricator tommorow for a price, would obviously be cheaper if it's literally just the pipe needed and you use your own filter and joiner hoses etc. Glad you all like the weldporn!

 

[EvoFq3o0]

Yeh let us know please Scott, Was considering the K-tec myself but would much rather have this

 

[danward]

This is awesome fair play, love the built in bracket to.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Dude got skills!

 

[tom172cup]

May need your services for a fuel cell soon lol

 

[Adam G]

Really nice to see your welding!

 

[ScottRallye]

If anyone wants a pipe then pm me....

 

[Stefan.]

Lovely work!!

You will be inundated with pm's now i bet..

 

[Gray]

That welding, infact all of the fabrication looks awesome!

 

[Adamm.]

Very nice that mate, I'll admit I was opening the thread hoping for another bucket style mod though

 

[Thrill]

Amazing! Looks like youve got a new part time job

 

[Detail Chris]

Difference is yours is worth that price tag.

I second that. Proper design and engineering, not just a couple of silicone elbows chucked together!

does your company make things for the public then? I'm a bit confused

 

[ScottRallye]

Haha no bucket style atall here, just a well thought out design

I cant take credit for the fabrication as it was the lad in work that helped me out on that.

And yeah we cater for everyone, big companies like Ferrari, Aston martin., prodrive/F1/wrc/British superbikes etc we do work for all them and alot is sold to demon tweeks too.

 

[dmallett]

That looks awesome! Was gutted when i didnt see some ropey looking bits of silicone slung together though

You could make some lovely looking intercooler pipework, hmmmmm.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

You're a very talented welder mate, the craft in that is exceptional. I know a few welders and the only thing I've seen close to that was a guy at 50 years of age who was really really talented!!

 

[The Russian.]

Awesome skills you have.


As in really awesome.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Nice work! Looks a bit better flowing that the Ktec kit as the bends aren't as tight.

Look forward to seeing the gains you get on the dyno.

Top job

 

[markkram]

Nice.

​You WILL sell a shed load as it looks epic.

 

[Mr R.]

Epic mate, its nice to see some quality work. im sure your inbox is going to be full most weeks.

 

[James28]

That looks absolutely epic. I'd have this over the Ktec kit any day. Properly awesome. Epic skills too

 

[brisa4984]

cool.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Looks amazing, love nice TIG welding like that and the bracket you have made looks superb too in terms of how its styled
Although im a little concerned that as the engine moves its got nowhere to flex really as its such a short piece of silicone to the manifold that it wont really have any give?

 

[Mr Plums]

Very nice, id consider one of these if you decide to sell them.

 

[Jaff.]

Welding skills of a god!

​its actually welding p**n right there!

 

[NorthloopCup]

Do you work for AH fabrications by any chance? Is Lar's still there?
