#580 is now SUPERCHARGED!

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.

Johnny, I have the Calimin filter on mine (cone-shaped but not pointy). It's about 10" or 11" though, minus an inch or so that overlaps the end of the MAF sensor.

are you talking about the twister cone w/ the heat shield? here are the numbers from green performance's website
