After seeing these engines swapped into multiple different vehicles and the interest in an affordable cold air intake I began the process of designing a throttle body adapter for these engines. The stock throttle body does not leave much room for options due to the geometry and how the factory air box mates to it. The adapter design will mate to the throttle body and have a round 3.5" OD opening to mate filters/additional tubing to.
Concept:
Prototyping:
To keep costs low I plan to 3D print the adapter. The following pictures show the fitment of a partial print of the first design. Note the opening is not round yet on this test fit.
Project Goal:
I hope to be able to offer these in mid to late January 2021 after extensive road testing different 3D printed materials. I want to ensure that the part will not warp or melt in common under hood temperatures. Cold temperature testing will prove out the part will not crack in subzero temperatures here in the Midwest. I will be looking for someone who lives in a southern climate to test these out in hot ambient temperatures. Pricing is TBD as the final material will impact the cost. Stay tuned for updates.
I want to buy one are they ready
I live In San Antonio Tx and would be happy to buy one and test it out
Is there a car file I can purchase ? Are they ready to be bought , I live in az and would be available for testing aswell if you'd like
Are these avalible for purchase yet ? Is there a cad file I can buy to machine myself
i am interested in buying one
