lynchfourtwenty Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) good idea? bad idea? if i can get some kits made whos interested? Edited May 25, 2009 by lynchfourtwenty Quote Link to comment
tlap Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have been thinking about something like this too, it would be a great idea. Any time you can get cooler, denser air into the engine is a good thing. The stock air filter just HAS to be allowing very hot air into the combustion. I for one would be interested. Build a prototype and post pictures. Quote Link to comment
jrbd10 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i think it would be sweet but i wouldnt be interested i have sidedrafts. but i was thinking of it when i had the stock carb... post pics of the prototype Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Weber makes a very clean adapter that works very good for this. It is for the smog legal suzuki samurai conversion. It adapts the weber to the stock suzuki air cleaner. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 well i havent ever seen one an it would prolly cost an arm and a leg lol... if i can get someone to make one i will post pics Quote Link to comment
NEIL Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I have some kind of topper for the weber 32/36 and the like. Give me a little time to get out in the garage to find it. I will post some pics of it when I do. Quote Link to comment

72dyme Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 are you talking about something like this...http://knfilters.com/Racing/plenum.htm Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 ya pretty much, but more of a bolt on for webers Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Offenhauser makes an adapter also part #2748, $44. It appears that there is actually two different weber parts for this. Part #99010.357, $120 and 99217.090, $85. The offenhasuer part looks like it may require the use of another peice to adapt it to the carb. Havent found them yet on the http://www.racetep.com site. I found pictures of all three of these on http://www.jameng.com I like your idea of something custom, but i bet that it is going to be tough to make something much cheaper than these products, unless you can do your own aluminum welding.

lynchfourtwenty Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 i got this company that will make stuff but we need to sell atleast 10 to get them to do anything.. Quote Link to comment
LCDC Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'd get one. maybe two. what would the cost be? Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 not sure yet for some really good quality work an after some serious r&d (so it would be universal for all l16/20 powerd vehicles.. prolly upwards of 75 but it would include all hardware, filter ect.. Quote Link to comment
NEIL Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks for that link Yello620. This is the Weber topper thing I have. It said it is for a Nissan but I know I got it off a box style Ranger. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 hmm that thing looks cool but i like my idea better, i will prolly try to improve on my design before anything gets made tho, like.. it would prolly work better if it were round i bet??? i want some word from some of the old school guys here.. the ones who've been there done that.. im not really lookin for a increase in power.. just efficientcy.. and i think it would help quiet the engine bay down some.. well that and an electric fan lol Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 heres one I spotted on criags: its on a B210 heres the add if you wanna email him or somethin: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1190801919.html Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 thats kinda neat, i wonder how well they work hooked to the carb like that Quote Link to comment
dayton100 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 been done $169.95:eek: http://www.carburetion.com/airintake.asp yours sounds like a good deal in the $75 range complete with filter snd hardware.. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 well thats jus a rough estimate really... nothins been made yet as im still doing some R&D plus i would need to find buyers, that one u posted is the best quality one i've seen yet, an it says it fits webers... the way i wanna do mine is have a box on top of the carb, it may help condence and cool the air..

PEZi720 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i'm still debating on whether to get side drafts or a weber... if i get the weber then i'd be interested! Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 it all comes down to price.. side drafts CAN be spendy.. never came accross a spendy weber in person Quote Link to comment
