New Redneck intake idea......

[Cat_Rebel]

Well I didn't like the stock intake chute so I setout to come up with an improved design without hacking up the rad support. I stole the hose off of a 00 Superduty & cut up a PVC pipe to funnel it. The bottom of the tube has a groove for clearence reasons & should also help shead water.
I have to replace the injector return lines & torque converter but after both of those are done I will give you a full report on if it makes any diffrence! :D

Gare you should have just flipped the lid. works even better.

Don't think that will work on the IDI bowls. Besides that I need something that won't catch water as easy for all of my Redneck ways. :doh:

[mattgw86]

It'll probably be better than the stock tube. They seem kinda restrictive.

Wheres your turbo?










OH, thats right you don't have one :poke:

Sorry i couldn't pass it up. It looks good i'm all for redneck engine-eeering.
Now i do have a serious question. What kind of MPG's do you normally get with that?

Hey whats all that MUNG on the inside of your vaccumm pump pulley?

[Cat_Rebel]

Now i do have a serious question. What kind of MPG's do you normally get with that?

Last tank was about 14mpg but I got 16mpg in the summer. Half of that driving is town & the other half is 55-65 country roads & the highway. Never took a long trip on the expressway to find out what it does on there.
I haven't even driven it since I did the intake a few days ago. My injector return lines should be in on Tues & I hope to get the shift kit & new T/C in it soon. Also have to back the pump off a hair so it ain't just wasting fuel when I have to get on the throttle to jump on the highway. We shall see what it does here soon, should act like a new truck........I hope! :doh:

I don't know, that's just the way the paint is. I think part of that is some dried up dirt/mud from some old puddle jumping that we did with it! :D

[mustang_gt_350]

Thats not bad. I was just wondering because theres a older guy around here that dialy drives his when he could be drivin an old LTD. I had always figured he would get better MPG with his truck than the car.

[Cat_Rebel]

I know it could probley do close to 20 or so with 3.55s but the 4.10s & 31s aren't the best MPG grabbers.

Basically that is what he told me. Then he said it would get about 25 mpg? I guess its safe to go ahead and call BS on that?

Let me guess it's a crew cab long bed 4x4 with 4.10 gears too right?

I didnt pump any more info out of him. I hate talking to him. Everything I tell him which is halfway logical about a Powerstroke he puts down and tells me something that HE thinks is better. Apparently K&N filters are the best for Powerstroke and Banks is the best also. Another thing is he asked me what size tires I have. I tell him 265/75/16 then say I think is the same or close to the same as 31's. He then says no more like 33's. Well I measured them and unless I have worn off about 2 1/2" of rubber on the rear tires or my tape measure is wrong they are 31's lmao

[Cat_Rebel]

Well update.....Drove it tonight on the road for the first time in about 5 days & am very happy to report that I seem to have lost about 100* off me EGTs! Cools down quicket when I let off the throttle too. :D
I think I might even be able to funnel alittle bit more air in there too. ;)

[mth9604]

how bout taking the filter out of the bowl, and putting a cone filter on the end of that pipe? i know a guy who did it on an old dodge dakota and he says it works very nicely.

I'd like to do that but I'd have to move the driver's side battrey to allow more room. If I run it with one battrey or moved the second one somewhere else then I could fit a Wix 6637 in there.

We got a guy who came in Friday. He want's an aftermarket intake system for his 7.3L IDI non-turbo. So we are having an adapter built that bolts down with a 3.5" tube off of it to run a filter system. I will get pics up when it is done.

[Cat_Rebel]

Cool, keep us posted Mike.

[CATdiezel]

put a leaf blower on there and see if that helps any Rebel....runa generator in the bed to power the blower while driving. OR use a gas blower.

Be kinda cool to see.

[Cat_Rebel]

I'd love to try it but I can't afford the chance of any carnage at this point in time! :eek:

[428qbird]

I did not know that Obama owned a PSD Ford...

[mattymx]

I bet if you could find a way to fit this as an intake tube, you wont need a turbo. I think you know where to get one.
