I was plannin on redoing my intake, i am gonna make a icebox intake usint 2.5 or 3 in piping from the throttle body to the front bumber.

there are a few of these on honda tech that dont use filters or they use small mesh gauze in the piping will this be enough to run an intake like this with out a filter.

What about individual throttle bodies are those safe to run without filters etc

 

Good luck, but you'll get alittle more power out of an Iceman style, because it's made of plastic which doesn't soak up heat as much as aluminium. So I recommend making yours out of the same material, even PVC if materials are short.

 

If your gonna make your own PVC works good because it doesnt absorb the heat as bad as aluminum. Although I would seriously suggest an purchasing an Air Bypass Valve to avoid water being sucked up into your intake because the filter is all down in your bumper/fender area.

 

ok u guys are kinda missing the point i was askin about.

is it ok to run a no filter intake or use a thin gauze materail

(not my car)


(not my car)


u guys get the idea

so far im thinkin about alumi piping sprayed with engine enamel or i might for the pvc but that might be a bit heavy.

 

If you plan on driving your car on the street for any period of time you MUST have a filter.... there are filters you can buy specifically for your application that let the ram that you posted flow through them..... Check out www.weapon-r.com ....

 

yes you can do that without using a filter its not really reccomended but you can. I still would suggest the bypass gimmick to keep you from the ever so possible hydro-lock!
