headers and intake box

[ROWDYRENAULT]

wanted to show latest project. one picture is of the new 8 into 1 headers now ceramic coated. the next picture shows the new air box which is installed into the hood. The rubber seal that lands on the plate that surrounds the air horns is missing in this picture. Airfilter is a K/N Dallara Indy car appox 16 inches by 22 inches. The heat shield materiel makes it a bit tuff to see but I think you will get the idea. Lee

Nice work! must sound unique. Like the air box.

I like this, though are you not worried about the seal from air box to air ram plate?
Surely the box would be better built on the plate with filter in situ and then a seal from hood to top of box?
That way air is filtered regardless of alignment and seal to hood.
I could be talking out of my hat, I have a similar problem involving a plenum box seal to a intercooler and I may be making a mistake building it up to the hood rather than down to the box. IYSWIM

ETS any video of it running

the box on the throttles is how we did it before but hiding the 8 stack with the carbon fiber horns was ...... disappointing from a visual presentation perspective. the seal this way is substantial the edge of the plate has a female roll in it that the rubber gasket on the airbox fits into. Lee

Lee,

Beautiful execution and nice upgrades. The air box is similar to that I have on my CanAm albeit my air filter sits on the throttle bodies and the clam shuts to seal around it. On the 8 into 1 exhaust it looks as though there is some crossover, did you go to the extent of positioning headers by firing order to get a circular pulse effect?

yes the headers are timed to firing order. Started it today for the first time...OMG.. sounds like an old cosworth, what a hoot a 4000 rpm sounds like Lemans, video tape to follow when we get it on the dyno next week. Lee

Looking forward to the vid.

As an aside I have been watching the /ENGINEERED section of /DRIVE channel on Youtube

They do lots of interesting well produced videos and have just done one on exhausts https://youtu.be/RWTARjxiqlo

trying to upload a 1006kb video file of the new headers running on the dyno. The web site keeps telling image not found. Am I missing something simple. Lee

Probably easier to put it on youtube and link to it.

+1 Youtube it, posting video on here is a PITA.

[ROWDYRENAULT]

thanks for the suggestion guys. F.C., when i first saw PITA in your suggestion I was wondering about the relationship between People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the guys on this web site,but after some consideration it became clear that some of the clowns on here are animals so go figure.

LMFAO

[ROWDYRENAULT]

once again I have proven my incompetence with computers I posted a video on Utube with the title of Ultima Gtr on dyno with 8 into 1 headers. Tried to put the link on here and it did not work but its there. I have some other videos of different RPM ranges I will try to post. Lee
