Xtra Report post Posted May 17 (edited) Now that the Adaptor to OEM air box side is finished. It is time to flip over the Adaptor and start on the Adaptor to Lid side. it starts with installing the C-Clip. Edited May 17 by Xtra 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtra Report post Posted May 24 (edited) Fabrication of the hinge clip and installing it completes the V3 Adaptor. Working with Aluminum is is way different than ABS. Everything on the V3 CAI is rust proof ,it's built from Stainless Steel, Aluminum and ABS. Now that the Adaptor is complete it is time to work on the Lids and finish up the Aux Air Intake and Sensor port. This video shows the completion of the Adaptor. These little hinges take a lot of hand shaping, filling, polishing and time to get correct. The results are worth it . Edited June 1 by Xtra 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtra Report post Posted May 25 (edited) This video is a bit out of order as this work was done before the Adaptor was finished. Once the saw was setup all the aluminum parts were cut on the same day. Cutting the Aux Air Intake blanks to length from a tube of 6061 aluminum. Edited May 25 by Xtra 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtra Report post Posted May 27 Adding the Aux Air Intake to the V3 lid. Once the Aux Air Intake Port is installed, the next thing is to deal with the Sensor Port. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xtra Report post Posted June 1 (edited) Almost done, worked on some of the Mandrel Bent 6061 Aluminum Elbow Reducers today. As there are two Elbow Reducers per V3, it takes me a few days to finish them all. Edited June 1 by Xtra 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
