Ive been wanting to put one of these on my turbo. BUt what you think? Ive seen guys gain hp out of these. i found one from blox for 35 bucks .
I've seen a synopsis run on the same car one with and one wiythout and the synopsis sheet showed improvement but I'm not sure if there were other factors involved. Yo rendon check my thread man there's something in there posted recently that youve asked about before
can you post a pic as to what you are referring to specifically?
One itty bitty rock in there and bye bye impeller :)
it will help a NA car, but with forced induction it's not going to make much of a difference. you also need some sort of filter on there, you can get a filter to cover velocity stacks. it's not worth the risk to run them wide open, the amount of dust and debris they inhale will do a lot of damage. a velocity stack is mainly designed to allow air to flow smoothly into a carburetor, mainly carbs such as side draft webbers, SU's etc. if you have have something like ITB's they will also help, there is actually a filter you can get that slides into those.
It may help a turbos efficiency but as others are saying, i wouldnt run it without a screen or filter or something to prevent debris from entering the turbo. On my old T3 60/63 I sucked up a rock on my old setup and it destroyed my compressor wheel, so the only time I will run it like that is if im doing a dyno pull... the new SC6152S is too expensive to chance it
well can we address the fact that some random sized velocity stack will probably do nothing for you?
people that use velocity stacks put a lot of r&d into sizing on specific applications. there was a thread on d-series about velocity stacks and stepped intakes for the d-motor. the guy spent about a year figuring out just what size to make everything for optimum power and he ended up going with a smaller throttle body than stock to do it. so it's not just like a plug and play type thing. if you're doing it for the bling factor i'd reconsider.
I read an article in a magazine about a team that put velocity stacks on a formula ford 4cyl. They gained 1.1 Hp or something like that.:eatarrow:
I know on my setup I ended up cutting off and using the factory ones for the SU's on a Z car. I could buy specific ones for my carbs, but I don't have the extra 200 bucks for a set. Thats where I came up with the eyeball air cleaners. Mine are hidden under the foam and the screen

Well do bro. well theres alot of people saying this and that so i figured ill post it up on hurrQuote:

SO what is 35 bucks going to hurt LOL. BUT i see all kinds of stacks. I see long,short, super wide. i mean Idk you know. I completey agree wit you thou.Quote:

35$ could hurt a lot more then you realize.. what wrong with a good filter?
yeah 35 dollars and a free pebble to fuck your shit UP.
the velocity stack is fine, just get a filter for it, they make them specifically to fit on those. You can also get a cold air filter with the velocity stack built into the filter
here's one for 64 with the filter http://compare.ebay.com/like/3704092...=263602_309572
yeah...only run that on a track not on a open road
Yea thata the idea lol
fuck a filter. just have a pipe going straight from the compressor housing to the ground in front of your car.
I have no filter i running it OG right now. Open turbo lol
I used to run it like that. IMO using just a screen is more of a restriction than actually running a big filter
Well I'm got a idea lol. Go to have a custom pipe made from the turbo to the hood cut a hole for the velocity stack nice an flush. Going to be sexy. Going to make so I can be removed easily in case of rain or w/e. So I'm making draft. . It's a weekend car or track that's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
route the intake in the cab of the car so u can hears and feel the spooling power of your turbo 10x betta!!!
LOL. O SUPER SUCKTION LOL. O BTW my bad on the spelling. when i use my iphone it auto corrects shit and i hate it. im reading my post and im like wtf. SOunds like im a tard.
I was wondering why your spelling was so much better :bowrofl:Quote:
