anyone made an air intake for a 6.5l diesel themselves. i have a 97 suburban and a tahoe and the set up of stock intake seems to be filling my air filter with alot of grease and dirt. anyone have any pictures to share. or know of any good after market system.


thanx

it fits under the battery tray

That black molded plastic piece to the front right of the filter cone is an air inlet that no longer goes to the airbox. If you removed it you would improve your flow of cool air to the filter.


I really like your crome piece. I have a spare hood to work with and I want to use something similar through the hood. Is that a 3" mandrelbent pipe?Edited by: quantum mechanic

yeah..its just 2 90's. The chrome one is from another "cold air"kit for another truck of mine. already had a tube tig'd on there for me. Heres what it all looks like...

I havent had any time to complete the screen headlights. Im hopin to mount my pmd/fsd on the other side.

That should improve airflow. I'm feeling inspired to work on mine.

wow thats good but where are you goin to mount your parking light?


that is a nice set up.


thankx

Im gonna see if I mount them above the opening(inside) so you wont see the light bulbs. Or get some LEDs and do the same.

Won't you get a lot of water in the filter if you drive in the rain?

I dunno...Ill have to see how much h2o can pass through 2 layers of screen.. Maybe put some kind of deflector shield in

I don't know if the water will be an issue or not.


It's not a problem on the big rigs, but they're intercooled.


Don't know if that would be the difference or not.


On the 6.5's we could think of it as a free water misting kithttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


Too bad it would only work on cold wet dayshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif

I think the biggest problem with the water would be in the filter.
