I have been searching for this since forever one guy started making these and selling them but said some models of the q50 simply just don’t support this design but I will try your project hopefully it works thank you
Appreciate it! This was def a learning experience and I look forward to doing it all again in 3” in the future and actually making some serious gains with it.
Had them installed backwards. The sensors have holes to allow air to enter in order to calibrate. If those holes are facing the firewall and not the rad support it will cause problems.
I typically don’t like making custom things for others do to the liability of it all. But if I did it would not be this version specifically. It was a pain to get fitted and was only my first attempt. I’m working on a Version 2 that should be more streamlined and efficient. Only time will tell though.
I hear a lot of mixed reviews on that. I physically haven’t felt a negative effect with the car since adding them. It actually feels more lively. I want to get on a dyno just to see what it’s actually doing but haven’t really had the opportunity to do so yet. If it proves to be inadequate over time I will move the filters down to the lower grill or to behind the fog housings and try again.
@@Boost_ej1 not necessarily because he’s using the same diameter and similar design of the z1 motor sports long tube intake for the g37 and 370z which actually had 10-15 whp gains on average and up to 24 whp after a tune so I doubt he’s losing any power at all with such a similar system
Did you ever end up doing the 3” piping or have you stuck with this setup? I’m interested in doing the same to mine but would definitely be more interested in seeing someone else do it then attempting it than trying myself haha
I haven’t attempted the 3” pipe because I don’t have an interest in tuning right now. Since making this video I did remove the piping going to the bumper opening and have been running the filters behind the bumper in the areas I mentioned because the car was more responsive that way. I am currently remaking a 2.5” kit that will eliminate most of the elbows for better air flow but it will require some welding which is why I haven’t finished the project quite yet.
Absolutely yes, in order for it to be most efficient the elbows need to be mostly eliminated and the filters either left in the bumper or placed in the lower grille. That would be the best way.
@@Foxcraze that’s what I assumed, if you don’t mind me asking what way were you gonna redo the 2.5” piping with welding to eliminate the elbows? I’m interested in attempting to do the 3” piping to hopefully make more power
I had to go back and see what you were referring to and finally see the water puddles on each side of the car. It was raining that whole weekend while installing these so there is no telling where it came from honestly.
@@Foxcraze it might been when you were trying to get it in between the windshield washer reservoir. I didn’t make it that far when I first commented aha sorry . But thanks for the video gonna have to do it on my Q you think it would help with this 110 Az heat
Yeah I feel like it def would but not in this configuration. I’m redoing the entire system but if you message me on Instagram I can send you a short clip of the new concept.

Glad to help, if you attempt it yourself just go ahead and do 3in and tune it. I will redo these eventually.
that turned out pretty bad ass!!!
Thanks man! Already planning upgrades lol
Effing killer man.

@@Foxcraze with 3" would you have to do some adjustment to the MAF sensor?
I would need to buy a 3” universal piping kit and a 3” maf adaptor that’s all. After those are in though, it would need tuned.
You mentioned an issue with maf at the end that your resolved. What was it exactly?
Had them installed backwards. The sensors have holes to allow air to enter in order to calibrate. If those holes are facing the firewall and not the rad support it will cause problems.
Please 🙏🏻 where can I get them
I’m working on a better version right now so stay tuned!
What size did u get for the filter wear you didnt put the size in the description
I didnt put a specific filter wear size because not everyone will use the same filter I chose let me look and I will let you know.
It was the F154R model search that and it will pop up in Amazon
Have you ever thought about doing that intake for anyone else?
I typically don’t like making custom things for others do to the liability of it all. But if I did it would not be this version specifically. It was a pain to get fitted and was only my first attempt. I’m working on a Version 2 that should be more streamlined and efficient. Only time will tell though.
@@Foxcraze if you ever think about doing it for other people, I have the same motor, I can be your test subject. I don't have any issues with it.
I will keep that in mind man!
Is that 2.5" piping?
Yeah it is, But 3” will also fit with some additional adjustments and repositioning.
@@Foxcraze your losing power with 2.5" plus all those bends

@@grantaustin1067 2.5 too small needs 3"
We run "4 intakes on 4 cyl honda civics and they make power

@@Foxcraze so would you recommend not doing it this way with the 3” piping cause of the reduced air flow with the elbows?
Absolutely yes, in order for it to be most efficient the elbows need to be mostly eliminated and the filters either left in the bumper or placed in the lower grille. That would be the best way.
This tutorial is def a good guide to get it figured out though.
