Cobra intake

[Frogman]

Would one of you guys with Cobra (or even stock, for that matter) intakes, please do me a favor if you have one of those no touch thermometers?

Next time you drive your car hard, would you mind getting some temperature readings around the intake? Top and sides would be perfect.

Why?

I'll PM you if you get me a temp reading.

Thanks.

I have a Laser temp probe. They are cheap at Oreillys, like $20. If nobody else can I will take a measurment when Sapper comes over Saturday.

 

[Screw-Rice]

Going to port that intake before you toss it my way? Such a nice guy! :lol:

That's not much of a reward.

Thanks manG. I'd really appreciate it. No big rush. If the temps are within what I'm looking for, then there might be a "rush".

Already ported, one of my Ninja midgets left it on your coffee table a few minutes ago.

That's not much of a reward.

What would you like for a "reward", then? A cookie?

Would the cobra work? Or because its a different car its not worth it?, send mme a message if that would work

 

[Frogman]

Text message sent, though I don't know if you got it. It says "delivered" on my end, but sometimes that's a little wonky.

Something in the realm of Carbon Fiber??????

 

[Frogman]

What's Carbon Fiber?

I knew someone would pick up on it soon enough. It is.

I'm thinking of making the upper half out of CF. I don't have the resources or skill to make the bottom half, though.

 

[rooster1969]

It would look nice with the valve covers. Best of luck to you on your project.

 

[Frogman]

Thanks, man. At this point, I'm just putting out the "feelers". Would be a waste of time and resources if I only sold a few of them.

 

[keatonsdad]

If in could afford one right now I'd buy one! It'd look bad azz!

Get did you get my text frog?

Would it really work with Laser's car? That Kenne Bell may f with some stuff that would otherwise be different, I would think....

Frogman said upper intake which is where the kenne bell is so if laser was to uses it he would have no supercharger anymore

 

[Frogman]

Aye, this would be just the upper intake. I'm still trying to determine if I want to leave it flat on the top, or embed some sort of a cobra plaque or writing in there.

he said he would do it when sapperfire came over.... Sapperfire has a black second gen....

Thanks.

my cobra intake reads around 132 +/- a couple across the top and 165 +/- at the gasket where it meets the lower.

 

[Frogman]

Got your PM, thank you Sir.

 

[Sapperfire]

ill run my 98 hard the last stretch to Bills house before i hit the dirt road, its a 45 minute drive so itll be nice and hot by the time i get there anyway

Frog i lost track of your other CF thread, are you still doing dash trims? i really dont like my wood much, and i would want the pieces on the door as well if youre interested in doing those

 

[Frogman]

Outstanding. Thank you, Sapp.

The more temp readings I get, the better of an average I can come up with.

 

[Sapperfire]

ill place the first bet that the average is going to be near 180 +/- 5

 

[Gilby959798]

mine is 136 (its only 45 outside) right by the egr.

 

[rooster1969]

A Lincoln Star would look nice I.M.O.

 

[LaserSVT]

OK, got them measurements for you and temp readings.

The valve cover (not precise due to tape meaure) is:
21" L
4.5" H1
3" H2
10.5" W
