here is mine and the one i made for crxboi



crxbois hat on my carb

and one more of my intake and hat on the dodge shadow hood

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

um, how do you get the carb hat to stay attached to the carb?? cuz the carb has no bolt or screw for you to attach a wingnut or anything like that and you can't clamp it down. how do you do it. how did you make yours? could you send me some plans or something? I can make one out of metal or plastic.
thanks again. sure could use the help!!

ok well there is a hold down bolt on top of carb when phatboy bade mine he drilled a hole threw the carb hat and the hold down bolt fits threw... but the wing nut does not fit so you need a 3/8 nut that futs on top so you spin it around and jeep it nice and snug! i keep a 3/8 wrench on my key chain cause when i want to run open carb any where i have the wrench there!!!

well with mine it was made to fit really snug so there is no need for a bolt & nut but just like CRXBOI said for his after all i did drill a hole
and for plans there really isent any need for some all i did was take some pipe cut in half and weld together if you would like me to make you one i can i just charge the cost of makeing and shipping

CRXBOI, is that filter and ram intake actually proven to make power .. i mean such a long ram tube would in theory make you loose power. i know that the Kw gain is only about 2-5 Kw from a direct filter on top of the carby it doesnt make sense to me why you would run a pod on a carby.
nice fabrication job tho and im not meaning to take the piss with the above^^
but wouldnt air induction through that ram tube cause the turbulance to be out of control potentially screwing up your jetting??
just a thought anyway

That looks like a fake. Like a model or a toy or something. Looks good though. I think that's what I'll end up doing.

well i asumme you mean me when you say long ram tube and really i dont know yet i havent tried it out since my car hasent ran long enough to take it for a spin but i dont think there will be a problem since all its taking in is cold air

but i allso amd another where i use 2 short ram intakes so that might help

i guess ill have to wait and see

Whatd you do to get that one to fit if you didnt hack up the bottom of the frying pan thing?

[RFL85CRXSI]

All I did was change the hat. I went to Advanced Auto, bought a 10" Edelbroch air cleaner assembly for $30, and ordered a K&N filter through Summit Racing, and slapped them both on. No mods needed!

Like I told you before, go through Summit. They have pretty decent prices (got mine for about $30).
Cant wait to see the car next year
