I know I sound cheap if I ask this. But I have a lot of time on my hands since i'm on break from school, and I don't have a whole lot of money and I know some people made intakes themselved for really cheap, so I just wanted to ask.

Is it really hard? Can someone tell me how to make a short ram intake or whatever intake from parts I can buy at retailers? And if possible, list the parts too?

 

OK nevermind. I found this website. I'm too scared to play with my lancer, but when I get the courage...

Just go to someone like Road Race Engineering and buy some mandrel bends and some straight pipe. The only tricky part will be the MAS adapter and/or the filter adapter

 

SOrry but is that a duck across your car in your avatar?

 

how dare you mess with the shape of new jersey! haha. just kidding. it does look like a duck. never thought of it like that...

 

thats classic

my friend was talking about making short ram intakes by himself..he said him and his buddies used to do that before they made their race crew cause they didnt have the money and/or parts..but he said tis really cheap and easy

 

I can agree with that but why doesn't the guy just buy the short ram kit from RoadRace themselves and save any possible hassle .

 

$$$$$$

 

It's not just about saving money though, you can look at it and say: yeah, i made that part. You created it and made it work. That to me is more important. You get the learning experience and a sense of accomplishment. I am not saying that buying a pre-fit part is wrong or anything like that, but if you have the time, there is no reason why you can experiment

 

yeah i meant that too.

 

If you do it, let me know how it works out. Good Luck!

 

i think ill make my own now, instead of pay 200, ill pay 30. plus ill love poppin' the hood sayin, i put that in. lets juss hope it works!

 

Yeah! First, air intake, next, intercooler or supercharger ram intake, like on the Interceptor in Mad Max with the switch on the dash. Wouldn't that be a trip? Flip the switch, instant air-induction. Had a 71 Charger with a 440 Magnum and Holley double pumpers under the hood with a switch for the ram intake that lifted up three inches (kind trippy). But this Aussie Falcon rox!



The Mad Max car was outfitted with a supercharger but it was fake casing over a working carburator. Other modifications included the square headlights, nose cone and roof spoiler from a XC Falcon panel van first used by Ford in a show car. In Mad Max 2, two large fuel tanks were placed in the back.

I'm gonna continue this post in another thread...
