Intake System

Josh Nell really did a great job in designing and building the intake system for the car. The design retains some of the important components from the stock system such as the fuel rails, injectors and intake trumpets.

Here is the front of the intake you can see the air filter which might be replaced with one slightly larger later on but its filter area is larger then the throttle bodies cross sectional area.

Here is a picture showing the secondary fuel rail. Note the nice cut out around where the fuel line needs to go.

Here you can see the stock trumpets that we are utilizing. The different heights are tuned to different RPMs, the effect is they will increase the usable RPM range. You could achieve higher peak hp if you used one set height but usable power is more important then peak power.

Here you can see the intake air temperature sensor nestled in with the injectors. It is positioned so it will not be in the spray of the fuel injectors, as this would cause erratic air temps whenever the secondary fuel rail is activated.
