Congrats John!!!

That 2" hose is probably for the new hole you're supposed to cut into the airbox. I mentioned this in a post recently - I only learned about it by searching old supercharger install threads.

Morgan-Tec has no intake tubes for supercharger installs. We don't need much - just a straight tube of the right size & length with some sort of mounting bracket to attach where the old airbox did. If you find one, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to have to get some 3" PVC and duct tape from Home Depot. :-)

CONGRATS on finally getting it done...don't know how you & WG could sit on such a tasty mod for so long...woulda driven me nuts having more ponies sittin' in a box in the basement for that long.

But that's just me...

I've been looking at 350z and Civic SI intakes - I may just buy a 3" CF tube and cut it to length. I can always get a chrome angle turn to attach the top to the TB. I'm a bit concerned about the temp sensor, though. Suggestions?

FWIW, I drilled a hole in my modified civic intake tube the same size as in the OEM/Alpine one, & snapped the grommet/IAT in to the hole & extended the wires to make the connection.

Its called procrastination brutha! I am a Certified Lazy Toad.

Just to add, I bought the Civic SI C/F intake and modded it to work with the S/C and well, 1/2 of Tone's green filter. I will snag some pics of it later tonight if I can remember. Looks !@#$ing great and with the wider C/F intake resevoir, you get a pretty meaty sound out of the air being vacuumed in through it. It's not 100% done, but neither is most of what I have started on my VX, heh.

Wormgod, please post links to what you got. I too need an intake tube that works with the S/C install.

I've got a guy who will make me a 3" diameter, 0.03 thick CF tube up to 21 inches in length, and is willing to bond flanges on the ends plus reinforce areas for the temp sensor and any bonding points - price is very cheap but I'm not sure if he can make the turn (would need to buy a bend to place between the TB and top of the tube). I'm thinking it's about 22 degrees but I haven't had time to measure yet. Can you measure the length of that Green filter (I'm assuming you got the one with the heat shield and ventura tip) - I'll need to factor that in. Also any pics would be helpful.

As you can see, I forgot to snap a pic last night. Boy.... thats surprising! Making a stronger mental note to make sure to pull the VX into the garage tonight and snap a pic. I dont take pics in the driveway anymore since everytime I seem to be doing something with it in the driveway, some neighbors have to stop by to see "what I am doing to it now".

I should do it tonight though, considering I got a new airflow sensor and need to put it it. Perfect opportunity to bag 2 birds with one stone.

Can anyone provide dimensions of the Green filter from Tone? I've got mine on order and need the distance from end-to-end to get the CF tube made for the intake.
