Just a heads up; Carbon fiber reacts to aluminum. It will cause the carbon to haze and slowly lose strength. You will want to gasket the carbon to electrically isolate it from the aluminum. Great work by the way.
Dude, you read my mind. I was literally just starting this video and I thought its been a long time since he's played " I like these odds" by Jay Kill and Hustle Standard. Brings back some memories of the Goose videos. Love the channel man, keep up the good work.
you should use a thin layer of glassfiber between the carbon and the steel backing-plate due too galvanic corrosion issues.. Most metal in contact with carbon fibre will corrode, and have to be mitigated.
That's badass Kyle... I really like the fact that you link all of the items you use to do your fabrication in the description ......very cool Grabbed another shirt and a couple stickers.... really good deal actually.... thanks for the freebe sticker Kyle.... "Can you tig it?" LOL that's awesome....
maybe an advise for next time, look into prepreg carbon ;). especially for smaller projects like this you can use the kitchen oven to cure it. and makes so much stronger carbon and more appealing look as well ;).
Good shout. I've been looking into pre-preg as a solution for an motorcycle end can. As far as I can tell pre-preg is more resistant to heat, but even that stuff will have to be lined with Ali or heat shielding of some description. I did also research a intake plenum to turbo the same bike. Results we not good. Too dangerous to have under a tank of fuel right beneath my chest I think. They didn't mention a specific carbon, just that chances of it blowing apart are pretty high compared to metal. Then this vid pops into my feed lol
After the preliminary sanding and cleaning, why not do a Glo Coat of resin, I have learned to ad a couple lams of .5oz cloth first(on surface) before the carbon to help with the horse rib effect in the weave.
I wonder how it will go with vibration and the weight of the throttle body hanging off it? Looked thick enough that it should be good but it may stress fracture in the corner. Would have been really difficult but the metal backing plate could be incorporated into the layers of carbon.
hi are you going to bolt the carbon fiber intake an a flat bit of plate and pressure test it before installation just to make sure it is not going to fail in some way i know its carbon fiber but the engine is worth a lot of money.And a pressure test for piece of mind and good content for the channel would be good to see love the idea of the carbon fiber and good to see your thinking outside the box on this build just love it cheers from down under
Probably never need replacement with those sharp angles, triangles = strength. That intake will definitely handle 30 psi. , and in that car will be more than enough to make anyone crap themselves.
I would love to show you some better clear you can buy by the quart if you like a harbor freight 15.00 gun will do a great job for what you’re doing You can mix 4oz at a time It dries in a hour It shines twice as much As that You could sand clear sand clear A couple times it will be like glass It’s matrix high speed clear It holds up well too I love your videos always a pleasure to watch !!!! Do werk son !!!!
Hey Kyle. It's looking good! Question... Are you getting a lot of requests to add the word "Go" to your new stickers? Count me in if you're polling responses.
Someone commented a while ago about flexible joints on the intake pipe to prevent cracking and whatnot, and my first thought (and reply) was wiggins clamps to help with that. I saw these www.hargettprecision.com/ and thought they would fit your aesthetic much better. Cheaper and do the same thing. But I don't know if you already had a plan to deal with thermal expansion and flexing and all that... Do you? I kinda think I remember you talking about it...

Yes! It looks amazing! Well done!

That's an awesome piece mate
Keep a mixed can of 2k in the fridge. I had a can that was good for a week.
1min30 into the video (first video of yours ive seen) instantly subbed. Metal craftsmenship looks incredible!

Being a foxbody guy..i love this build . That distributor cap looks like it’s gonna be a tight fit.
Great job Kyle! Looks badass!!!
Great stuff.

I was trying to do work until I got the notification for the new video!
I can't wait to see the bibster done!
I personally say you don't have to give us anything free. You're knowledge and amazing videos is good enough. God Bless, Do Work Son!
Wow. I like it. That's awesome.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Hustle works in your videos perfect!!!!
Been a while since we had some hustle standard
Love your videos, makes me confident enough to make carbon parts for my race car build
Absolutely awesome, keep up the amazing work.
It's looking good 👍👍🇨🇱
Excellent piece of work as usual keep them coming 👍
Where did you get that aluminum v band flanges ?
After the preliminary sanding and cleaning, why not do a Glo Coat of resin, I have learned to ad a couple lams of .5oz cloth first(on surface) before the carbon to help with the horse rib effect in the weave.
What is that fantastic song that starts at 11:45 and where can I buy it?
I wonder how it will go with vibration and the weight of the throttle body hanging off it? Looked thick enough that it should be good but it may stress fracture in the corner.
Would have been really difficult but the metal backing plate could be incorporated into the layers of carbon.
US tour? When you gonna roll on the west coast? Our salt air will start spot corrosion overnight though...
Have you ever fab a HD Hood to fit a C10?
Might take a stab at it. How does the carbon fabric react to compund curves?
Alot better than the sharp angles in this scenario, curves are easy.
Very Cool Kyle , Double 👍's Up !!!

Can you test it out to see how much will it hold
Locking good,havnt herd that song in forever...
Looks dope!!
Looks sick! From Greenville, SC
Bibster looking good🔥🔥
maybe try nutserts in the backing plate..
What is that TB? Did it come with the V- band on it?
Good stuff brother 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks man!
Whats the diameter of the throttlebody?
That intake is going to snap from thermal expansion of the intake tube unless you introduce an expansion joint
yeah a wiggins in place of one of the v-bands would be a good idea
Love the music Kyle
Oh hell yeah! Cobra Kai shirt!
@4:18 what song is this?
How long do you think that will last? before you need to remake it in aluminum?
Probably never need replacement with those sharp angles, triangles = strength. That intake will definitely handle 30 psi. , and in that car will be more than enough to make anyone crap themselves.
Man it looks good, love the shirt lol
Only one in the world........therefore...the best.
Who did the music brother? Share 'em lol.
Say bro whats the name of song ur using in the backround
Jay Kill & The Hustle Standard - I Like These Odds
I would love to show you some better clear you can buy by the quart if you like a harbor freight
15.00 gun will do a great job for what you’re doing
You can mix 4oz at a time
It dries in a hour
It shines twice as much As that
You could sand clear sand clear
A couple times it will be like glass
It’s matrix high speed clear
It holds up well too
I love your videos always a pleasure to watch !!!!
Do werk son !!!!
So that's who makes those do work son decals. Some guy in my town has that sticker
Hey Kyle. It's looking good!
Question...
Are you getting a lot of requests to add the word "Go" to your new stickers? Count me in if you're polling responses.
Nice
Still waiting on Hats!
in between coats of clear, try using a blow torch to pop the bubbles, it works for acrylic countertops and epoxy counter/desk pours, maybe?
