sweeeeeet

Will the oil/chemicals (oil treatments, etc.) have an effect on the carbon? That would be my only concern. A lot of fiber-based polymers have chemical reactions...

[gt40]

I used epoxy. This stuff is bulletproof to solvents, oil etc. acetone doesn't faze it.

[Terenus]

Man, that came out nice Mark!

[gt40]

I am open to making a batch of them :D

[jondukes]

ill buy one /give deposit for sure

[gt40]

I have enough supplies to make 10 so start a list if you want.

2.8-AGAIN(any Idea how much?)

[gt40]

Less than a hundred... how about $90- $100 with hoses. They are shrink wrapped with perforated heat shrink and then wrapped in a bleeder material and then vacuum bagged- all after being wetted out. Tapped for barbs and threaded + coated inside with extra layer of epoxy.

[gt40]

I just figured materials and can sell this batch of 10 at $80 by itself or $85 with hoses so the cancel the previous price.

count me in that thing looks sick,, can i get some free stock advice??just kiddin unless your willin

[Coolguy949]

How do you check how full it is?

[8-AGAIN]

Kinda stupid but ive never used one so how would you empty it or whatever is needed to maintain it?

[gt40]

Take it off and turn it upside down. It could be plumbed for a drain or site line but more connections = more cost and not necessary. I can install it for you.

[Macky]

wow that looks cool

looks good man but rob has a good point...

[gt40]

How do you check how full it is?

You guys are tough! Okay, here is what we can do:

I can cast a clear resin line running up the side so you can see... I personally think it isn't necessary but if folks want it then I can make them that way. I can also drill and tap and install a drain valve but it will add a little to the cost.

Then you can have the choice of a basic version and deluxe I guess.

I can get the price down if we have 20 +

[Chris in SD]

If you can help me mount it, count me in. My only concern was the chemical reaction.

[gt40]

Chris,

I already figured a carbon mount so if you stop by we could put it on.

Here is a photoshop for folks wanting a site tube- cast into the side:

nice!!! You should post it on Evom im sure people will jump on this!!

[gt40]

wanted to take care of the home folks first...

[nijikon5]

Count me in for sure Mark, how about a Carbon CAI for ppl still running the MAF ;D?

[gt40]

Working on that one with robi. We will make a maf stock turbo version and may have a batch produced if there is enough interest. I will fit the prototype non-maf version on my car and see if it does anything first.

It should be interesting if I can log any differences in intake temp etc compared to the shortram blitz I am running now.

[Chris in SD]

I'm interested in the CAI for the stock turbo/MAF, too.

[gt40]

I am going to go ahead and build 10 of these- first come first serve once they are built. No deposit nonsense. I will post probably this weekend or next week when they are done.

Two versions:
NO CAST SITE TUBE VERSION
Price: $80 by itself or $85 with hoses.

CAST SITE TUBE VERSION
Price: $100 by itself or $105 with hoses.

Bracket isn't included.

I will try to make a carbon bracket that can be included but cannot guarantee that at this time till I see how much time/cost is involved. Shouldn't be a big deal though.
