I found this air intake system for Weber carbs from Thoro-Tec Thoro-Ted web site
They also have other 914 related items.   |

I'd be interested in flow specs.
Looks better for forced induction. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Was wondering what the advantage of this setup is given the air filter is still exposed to the elements. It looks very similar to the various CB performance setups for forced induction. https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/7312t.htm If doing non forced induction and want to join both stacks to a single air filter, i think this is the better way to go as it actually protects from the rain. https://www.ahnendorp.com/VW-Type-4---Porsc...tml?language=en |

Fluid mechanics sometimes has surprising results. I can't imagine anybody making something like this without modeling it. My quess is that is is quieter more than anything else. |

Sort of looks like they might be 3D printed as an on demand business model. Can't imagine them selling more than 1 or 2 at that price point. 914/4 owners not exactly known for rollling in cash and spending big $ on parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Long ago I had a conversation over beer with a buddy. We discussed going into the aftermarket business, making "hop-up" parts, and how we might market them based on what goes on in the industry. We both eventually arrived at the postion that unless we were going to be willing to make absurd claims about added horsepower, improved fuel economy, etc., we might be giving up lots of money to those that do. We both decided to focus on our day jobs. My hat goes off to the suppliers we have supporting this community and providing honest products and standing behind them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) It ain't easy! |
