Monkey mans power adder

So if you had seen my wanted thread for for a second hand intake? This is why

Still needs work!
I also have a oil filter housing I may be doing something funky with so I can run a oil cooler.

That does look good

Thanks mark it needs the last few bits welding in and a plate at the front for the TB to bolt on to. Then painted crackle black I think it will look great. I am sure that the aluminium runners will need cutting back. I am making it at home away from the car. And it’s eadier to cut off than add on!!

Nice work! Seems such a shame to hide those lovely trumpets though. One day you should do an ITB mod.

I know they look so cool. Not bad as they wher all made on my little manual lathe. Using the nice cnc at work would have benn nice but not an option any more.

ITBs look great but when you way up the pros and cons just not worth it. They end up in my application just more to go wrong with no benafit other than looking nice. I can’t think of many blown engines that use them oem or aftermarket?

I don’t think this would fit what with your S/C under the bonnet that side of the engine. But yes I could do you something. Already been thinking of a designe for supercharged cars like yours.

So the plenum plan is working out.
Oli filter housing got a look at today. Figured out where oil goes in and works. And it looks like my idea previously to make a new cap. To take a feed from the centre to an oil cooler. And from the cooler back to the outer side of the oil filter housing. Winning

I would need one doing so same OEM locations of outlets to fit my setup

I can see that being a problem. Been thinking a different designe idea over for your set up.!

 

[Machine monkey]

So lots of bits for the car in the house. Been the dog approves. I just hope I can get to the workshop Saturday and my poorly sick wife is better.

So steering wheel and gators are self exsplanatory. The big blue thing is a oil cooler. With custom brackets. The silver thing with the black fittings is a home made filter cap that has a feed and return for the cooler. The hose connects it up I think I have the fittings to connect it all up.

Hopefully a happy monkey day Saturday

Nice collection of bits Matt

Hi monkey, your new filter cap looks round without any flutes, so I was wondering how you will tighten it? :?

I machined a 22mn hex on the top that’s the biggest monkey wrench I own.

How are you going to make the rest of the oil cap? (the central feed/return pipe that also functions as a plug to the sumpdrain)

I am using the BMW center bit it disconnects from the cap. And I will make it a press fit in the aluminium. Job done.
