Qwiketz intake elbow thread including pics and dyno charts
#303
Hey guys. I have two more ready to go. As for payment, you can use PayPal which is russriggs@yahoo.com . Just make sure you email me as well since I'm almost out
#306
probably not unless I can get at least 5 guys that want them. Since my car is pretty much done except for maintanance when stuff breaks, I'm just not on the forum as much anymore. In addition I have my wedding coming up in November and things at the day job are a bit hectic toward the end of the year. But if enough guys want them, I'll hunt down the parts and head to the fab shop.

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that I shipped out the last two intake pipes via usps priority mail today so you should have them Monday or so.
If I can get 5 people to rsvp for them, I'll make them. I have a day job so it's a bit of a hassle to do all the errands associated with the tubes as I have to do it on my lunch hour. I also have some improvements to make to them to fit slightly better (cutting off little length as suggested). Anyone else interested?

Cambo, the breather hose you ordered was it for the XJR or for an S Type if poss could you send me the part number you ordered, I can see the number on the bag in your photo but if you can confirm it that would be great. I have my intake now so any tips on fitting it, any thing I should know, how did you find the clearance on the hoses underneath the intake?

XJ part number Robert, as it says on the bag AJ82536
I've got the other half of the new one i bought here if you can't buy it stateside.
No issue clearing the cooling hoses, the 3" / 75mm elbow is smaller than you think, it fit without any problems.
The only thing is you need to separate the top half of the airbox from the lower in order to bring the elbow into the silicone coupling, but honestly the only "hard" part of the install is tightening the oversized clamps....takes ages....

Well it was raining so thought lets do it and here we are done HaHaHa! Yep that was not that hard at all, as you say just the clamp positioning and telling yourself that is is ok if you touch it, it won't break. Car runs no codes haven't driven yet as its raining hard so will report back when I have. I agree with all you say about the improvements that could be made but heck it fits. So all you XJR guys no excuse lets mod these puppies and keep up with the S mob.

I got my intake saturday and installed it with little trouble, thank you very much it now sounds amazing. The whine is so much louder now well worth the money, the only problem I have now is my gas mileage has dropped a bit since I can't seem to keep my foot off the throttle

Hey guys, it looks like three people are interested so far. If we could find two more then I will build some more these tubes for you guys. If we do find two more guys then I will probably do it towards beginning of next month, as this month I'll be out of the town for 10 days for my wedding. Anyone else that is interested, pm me...
