ZXtuner ShortRam pics

[Yofavcracka]

alright, i keep getting asked by dozens of people where i got my intake.

as of right now its just a prototype waiting for public demand, so as far as i know i am the only one with the Zxtuner intake on my car.

if you want one, contact Rob over at Zxtuner.com.
he is an extremely nice guy to talk/work with. hes usually really good with responses to emails etc. He's the guy ive boughten dozens of parts from, intake, pulley, wires, hood etc etc. and ive been happy with every purchase.

heres a bunch of pics. please, excuse the dirty engine bay.

dont care to much for the looks. idk just looks off.

what kind of hood you got? looks like it would set to high for the pred. hood?

[Yofavcracka]

its the highst flowing shortram intake thats available for the cougar that i know of.

stock style carbon fiber hood. and its lower than the stock intake manifold.

no it wouldn't. and don't even think about making a comment on how you could set it up for ram air, bc I don't want to explain all that.:rofl:

but tim.... you could just attach a filter to the throttle body and then cut a hole in the hood!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

:disgust:




















:gtfo:




















:rofl:

[JAMallott]

Looks like it fits under the hood MUCH metter than the CTA, and it looks a whole lot bettwe flowing than the Weapon R with that really tight/small 90* bend before the TB. Very nice product.

sounds like something i would do:)

[AngelSpirit]

Is the shortram sold with the extension or not? :)

[diddy]

it's sold without the extension

[Yofavcracka]

it's sold without the extension
although last time i talked to Rob he was thinking of making an extension because really hardly anyone else does. i need to meet with him again and discuss a bunch of stuff.

[AngelSpirit]

Thanks Grant :)
Let us know as soon you know :)

[diddy]

u could just buy the shortram, then buy the universal piping they have at advanced auto or something

true, the extension is two 90 degree pipes.

[diddy]

yeah, my roommate actually has the extension for his cougar, but never installed it, and itsn't going to, so I'm gonna see if I can get it to work on the tiburon, with maybe one more peice of piping.

[J-Man]

true, the extension is two 90 degree pipes.
One is a 90 and one is a 45.

not the one from GMK. promotiontuning has a different version, a previous version of kenny's design if i remember correctly.

[J-Man]

All the intakes I have seen from Kenny have had a 90 and a 45. I just searched my ass off too, lol.

[AngelSpirit]

And where can I get the cold air extension for Zetec? :bowdown:
Because GMK doesn't sell them no more :(

[diddy]

i'm thinking about doing this tomorrow actually....but wouldn't like, home depot, or lowes have piping that you could use to make the extension? just a thought...

[Yofavcracka]

ehh, i wouldnt so much go to lowes or hope depot, they'd have like plumbers piping. wouldnt they? lol

id think a metal supply place should definetly have a bunch of mandrel bent aluminum.

yeah, I didn't get a chance to go by there today. I wasn't really hoping too much, just kinda curious. cuz, if I could buy some piping for like, 15 bucks, I sure as hell would do that b4 buying an AEM for like 260 :rofl:

hahah hell yea. cheap intakes FTW lol

thats kinda what mine was... i fidgeted around with a bunch of different setups until i found the one i liked the most.
now.... if i can move my battery to the back.. then the cold air piping doesnt have to go around the battery and it can go straight to the hole, if you can imagine what i mean.

[diddy]

what's cool about the tibby, is that the intake piping for the CAI (after the MAF on the Cougar) actually follows the same path as the cougar, as far as bending past the battery, and into the same spot to drop into the bumper. But what is even cooler, is that there is already a hole there, so I don't have to do any drilling. I'll look for a pic later if u can't understand wtf I'm talkin about. haha

no i understand what you mean and dude thats awesome! its like they knew :cover: lol

as long as it'll fit around the battery then go for it man.

[diddy]

oh, it will fit aruond the battery. pretty much the same process as for the coug, take the battery out, put intake in, put battery back in, but over to the left a bit more. haha

you forgot cut one of the "legs" off of the battery tray lol.
i realized that to keep my cold air intake AND turbo, im gonna need to relocate that battery to the back.

[diddy]

yeah. have fun with that one. I'll just slap my supercharger right on and be on my way. :rofl:

[Yofavcracka]

haha and then ill custom weld a flange to the exhaust manifold, then custom make another flange to bolt to the exhaust turbine, then cusotm make a downpipe, then custom make tabs to mount an intercooler, then take off my front bumper *takes a breathe* mount the intercooler and custom fit the intercooler piping back to the throttlebody, and then get it tuned, hook up the turbo etc, change out my injectors. and then ill be on my way.



:cover:




lmao

[skull_heaven]

or you could just swap it out for a B16 slap a turbo on that drop it in and duct tape it down and be on your way.:biggrin:
