Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

First, I am thinking about getting some made this would be for the air intake for the turbo you see in the front bumper of race cars.

I have a price in 2 different styles one is a premium which has more of a taper the other has a nice mushroom at the top but doesn't taper so much. they are available in a 3" or 4" mouth.

The problem is, in order to get them to taper properly they are spun from a solid block of aluminum the tooling for this is VERY expensive.

prices for the 3" is $50 for the normal and $60 for the premium one add $10.00 for the 4"

They look good but I don't know how much response you'll get with the hm crowd. Honda tech would eat them up though. Just tell them they get overnighted from japan.

I thought they might be expensive for here.

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

That is super cheap for those, they usually cost more then that.

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

Realy? ok forget you saw that price ;D naaah just trying to get some new business. what do they usually cost? guess it's time for an ebay auction!

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

if you want to be true HMT Ghetto then use a sub woofer port for $5 ;)

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

or just cut a huge ass whole in your bumper.. or better yet.. no bumper.. ;)

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

they are usually $80-$100 as far as I have seen

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

Seems like a descent price, machining that would take a fair bit of time

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

LOL!!!

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

you can get basically the same effect with a 3" holesaw. I dont think that'd look right without a 1 piece frontend.

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

yeh your right there are 10x more guys with drag cars over there then here.

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

but the cars here are better

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

what is the purpose for one of these?

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

Gives a ram-air effect to your turbo

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

there is no purpose other than asthetics...and hmy ownz honda-tech 8)

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

werd hmy, hmy.... who's hmy, sounds asian

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

look at the bottom, you can get them for like 20-30 bucks off summit, are these the same thing? (the RS akimoto ones, not the the ones for carbs)

way to use the link mang. ::)

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

haha

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

woops, just go to summit racing and type in velocity stacks, they are at the bottom, and cost 20 bucks...

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

yea, those could be the same, but you never know, they could be plastic or something.

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

I got mine from the stereo shop. with a 4" inlet for $3 ea.

Re:Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

You are totaly right <cancels very expensive order>.

check out this link

But I don't see any for independant throttle body's int 48, 52, 55, and 60mm 8)

just reading that description makes me never want one of those on my car : "There are instances when air filter assembly may not be required, as in outright racing situations or competition engines equipped with turbo-superchargers. In these cases, the use of an RSA high-efficiency velocity stack can improve overall engine airflow and boost both volumetric efficiency and torque. Flow-contoured entried are designed to reduce boundary layer disturbance as high velocity air enters the intake path. Results include improved air stability and increased engine performance."

I was gonna post the RS akimoto site, but I didn't wanna kill your sales, note my edit in my previous post ;)

Re: Any interest in velocity stacks for the front bumper? now w/pics!
 

I bought one of the RS Akimoto velocity stacks from Summit about a year and a half ago. They are actually very good quality. It is machined aluminum and is the appropriate radius. I actually didn't end up using it because it was so much bigger than the inlet of the turbo I was using.

You better have well designed charge pipes with smooth welds though because ghetto fab pipes will cause turbulence and completely negate the positive effect of the velocity stack.

If you can make them the size of Intake manifold runners and price them cheaply I'd be all over them.

this is kinda ghetto...

edit...

now that i thinka bout it i dont really see how it will act as a velocity stack like the one ^^^ above.. it just looks like one but not really designed for high efficiency airflow...
