It sure is ugly, but at least it's done! It sure would look good in carbon fiber.

 

This might be a better picture.

 

Jay- Don't leave us in the dark! What's it made from and how did you form it? Looks a little bumpy but I bet it works well.

 

I welded it together in my garage, from 12 pieces of aluminum tubing and sheet. As you can see, I'm not a very accomplished aluminum welder, but I'm getting better. I haven't welded any aluminum for 25 years. It also isn't easy to weld 16 gauge aluminum anyway. It just replaces the stock rubber boot.

It's a prototype part that will used as a pattern, after testing. I'm going to look into making the part out of carbon fiber.

Right now, the clamp arrangement is making my Accufab T/B stick
(again), so I have to get a longer piece of 4.5" silicone hose. The clamp has to be all the way up the throttle body, or it distorts just wnough to make the T/B stick.

I added weld bungs to the base, so I can use -12 braided steel hose for the PCV system. It's a little pricy to use, but I have always liked the look.

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

 

Looks good, I cant imagine how long it would take to make something like that.

 

38-39 hours to this point. Prototype stuff like this thake a lot of hours to get it right. Before I send it out for duplication, I'm going to bondo it smiith, and have it powder coated. Then they can make a form from it. Subsequent parts should take considerably less time.

 

i want one man

 

Wow, if you made one of those in carbon fiber, I would be your first customer...I promise

First off....nice job.....second, it looks like you might have to make a couple different styles if you plan to market them anyway. Your MAF set-up and mine are definately different. The Fast-Air setup that I use, positions the MAF quite a bit lower.

Looks good! Wish I could make stuff like that!

 

Dale, if the MAF is lower, do you still use the stock rubber boot?
