 Mario, of the dub shop (thedubshop.net) fabed up an awesome intake for the 914. It looks great and now I can even hear the Tangerine Racing exhaust over the itb's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Throw that cross bar linkage in the trash ASAP.

How is the front of the tubing, near the filter, supported?

Looks to me like CB Performance turbo system plumbing with a little type 4 tweaking.

Interesting, seems the cooling fan and the intake are competing for air

QUOTE(r_towle @ Feb 7 2016, 07:51 PM)  Interesting, seems the cooling fan and the intake are competing for air I'd say that isn't an issue, the logic behind it is the assumption you are getting cooler intake air. Plus if I'm correct about the CB parts then that's where it would come out. |

I think we have a new entry for "Top 10 Pointless Modifications of All Time"
Nice welds, though. The pressure-side turbo hose clamps on an NA intake really set it off.... Hold on, while I light another cigar with a $100 bill. |

Personally it really isn't that clever,looks expensive for little result,i think a simple tee off the connection would do it and a larger pod filter,this has been done before by a european company to better effect...not new. |

I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind. Group: Members Posts: 126,350 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None |
So what is so special about it? What does it do different? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Great looking piece of kit, but absolutely worthless for HP gain unless you plan on putting a turbo on this motor some point in the future and running those carbs... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Cuts the induction noise like he said........depends on what you like & how you like it. My 2316 has a lot of induction noise--part of the reason that I love it so...YMMV. |

Nice, I wouldn't expect any performance gains but it looks decent and it should cut down on the noise.
Ignore the naysayers, everyone here has spent money on something for looks or just because they wanted it. |

I'd actually like to see something very similar, except with a single Ford mustang 70-75mm TB. Of course that would need a 2270cc
I just would like to know what the performance difference would be over ITB's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

The last time I did a comparative on a similar set up (with an even larger tubing ID) the engine lost 11HP and almost 20# of torque.

Air cleaner setup like posted or throttle body placement like Mark mentioned? Almost exactly like this. The approach path of the air into the carbs favors one cylinder more than the other, among other issues. |
