HTP 3.5" intake works with CS Cold Air Box

[dale_gribble]

All it really took was opening up the cutout for the intake tube. I opened it up with a 4 1/8" hole saw and then it just takes some aligning the HTP tube to the box.

For me, this is mostly aesthetic. With the CAB, IATs are usually 10-15F cooler cruising and much lower at stop and go (usually peaks around 90-100F), however from multiple tests I have found zero gains from the lower IATs. Zero. Nada. I just prefer the sleeper aspect of it.

It does change the fuel trims a bit vs. the open element in the 1-2.5v MAF voltage range, but I can say that it doesn't impede flow at all.





I think I am going to shoot the TMIC with some black paint next.

Looks sick!

Great, now I need to go find me a CS cab for my htp intake and MS6. I too love the sleeper effect. It's why I have a Corksport TMIC and factory shroud.

How does it sound? (any change?)

Sound doesn't change at all which is actually pretty quiet with the htp to begin with.

pfff look at that skinny ass battery.

[jack_hammer]

that cold air box looks like it fits better with the HTP intake than it does with the corksport intake!

Wow, looks good. Makes me wonder though, I was barely ever able to make the CAB work with the full CS intake. I got it in there but was never really happy with how it fit. Took it out a few months later and now have the HTP 3in. Never even considered trying to get it to fit with that.

Try it and let us know.

As a follow up, I found the CS CAB is a GREAT place to hide stuff to keep a clean engine compartment. Now my CS CAB has the Guardian Angel, DVC-30 meth controller and fan controller safely protected from elements and hidden away.

That's pretty cool.

This shit is inspirational! I love the stealthiness.

Dale - you don't have any issues with water coming up from the wheel well? I have found in the winters here I needed to cover that hole to prevent a lot of the slush and wet crapola from getting up to the filter/inlet...

[dale_gribble]

What is this water and winter you speak of?

Fuck you and your California weather @dale_gribble; Last week we saw the worst storm in 100 years. We had crazy flooding, massive damage. Entire freeway flooded to the top of cars and people where holding onto the roofs like life rafts. I felt like I was living in Florida for 2 days after one of their storms.

[dale_gribble]

In our defense, it did rain for like 15 minutes last week and a few trees got knocked down. So it isn't all rainbows and puppies here.

On a serious note, sorry to hear about that. I hope you weren't effected. I always think that the desert should be porous and be able to absorb all of that rain into the earth, but the desert is like cement and rain just washes right across the top.

To add to this thread the JBR tru 3 inch intake also works with the CAB on a speed6.

[dale_gribble]

I was able to stuff one more thing in the cab. I had to go on the lid. Lol. I figured I had better stop here or there won't be room for airflow.

We got a guardian angel, dvc-30 meth controller, fan controller and meth failsafe.



No officer, pretty much all stock.



Best part, everything you see in the box is on quick disconnects so I can pull the entire box out in 5 minutes.

You should see what else you can stuff in there. Maybe a toothbrush, a few condoms, a flashlight and an energy bar for emergencies.

Before this post I was wondering whether a WMI pump and an ignition amp would fit, how much weight do you suppose this would hold?)


But it isn't respectable. It's mildly terrifying. And that actually makes it quite appealing. - Mazda 3 MPS review, Matthew Jones, Top Gear.

Fixed*

Hmmm. Emergency stores. I should just stuff things in there until the intake whistles.

[Mistersix]

Nice work dale. One of my favorite Speed 6's to follow. Always making improvements.

Dale, is you HTP intake attached to the bracket/stud on the block? You are running it with the BNR now -- did you have to trim the coupler to the turbo inlet?

[dale_gribble]

The htp has no provisions for connecting to anything. It just basically is held up by the recirc tube and vent line.

I just ran the coupler as it came w/o trimming.

[cshunter]

That is awesome!

I plan to use the GA, and a Meth kit whenever I swap turbo's.

Also running their battery box, so it would look nice and clean with that as an addition.

Just gotta hope whenever I swap turbo setups it does not push the intake over more and I can not use either.
