Conversions & Hybrids - i need help finding this intake, has anyone seen this before?

i'm looking to change up my intake setup (seems like it would look cleaner/possibly function better aswell)

ive looked and looked and i cant seem to find this intake horn:

Looks like it could be a one off custom job. I haven't seen one of those before either.

if ur looking to do something like a cowl set up, i saw a thread the other day about a trans-am swap by year one that used the stock hood cowl

That thing looks like it flows like shit with that tight curve..

That thing looks like it flows like shit with that tight curve..

might do just the opposite tho... that curve could speed up the air if done right...

after further inspection... yea looks like your right

Found one for $240 all aluminum.

It appears to have been made from this Porsche kit, according to the link you posted.

Boyd clottington used them when installing a ls21 in his boydster.

Thats different....

thanks everyone for the replies, in the original link it says its off a porsche - i will further search if i can find it now that i see that it is used for 911 conversions.

one think confused me... on the 911 ls1 conversion - why dont they just flip the intake around and bolt it down that way?(since they can be installed either way)

That inlet looks like the air flow to the T/B is a pretty extreme bend. I wonder how well it flows ?

Anyway, here is a picture of my Cowl Induction CAI.

i belive it is off a porsche conversion , i think thats what renegade hybrids uses on their 993 and older porsch conversions.

and the reason they can't flip the intake is that if they do the TB will hit the deck lid if i recall correctly.

This air cleaner is awsome. Where did it come from? or is it custom?

Go to the link in his signature. He has build pictures.

So far is it a one only custom, have not seen anyone duplicate it. The Chevelle's Cowl Induction Hood is fully functional (both vacumn and elecitrial flaps work as designed).

Have seen a few other like that Porsche that uses Cones or square air filter boxed in under the Cowl Hood (ie Year One 69 Camaro)

This is the closest thing I've seen on the Year One "Bandit" Trans Am

Yeah. that is pretty much the same setup they used on their 69 Camaro that BRPHotRods / Muscle Rods build with Year One, but had a MagnaCharger Blower. BRP used to have it on there site as a project car.

Those are pretty much scoops that have an Air Box to seal off the engine Bay and has an Air Filter in them.

I wouldn't run that first setup unless it was the absolute only thing that could possibly fit.

From what I have been testing and learning trying to get my intake setup better a very smooth 90* bend of 3.5" tubing still flows less than the very obstructive and screened MAF so something like that first setup can't possibly flow worth a crap.

That was what my option was on that extreme bend right in front of the T/B.

But, I guess you got to do what you have too. !

Hey BC... how much would you charge for an air intake like on your car? I WANT ONE!!!

to me i would think engine would run alot better getting fresh air from front of the car than sucking in all the hot air of top of engine just my .02
