Hot Rod air cleaner
« on: February 03, 2012, 06:52:02 PM »
We have all seen this before but I thought I would share how I did mine.

I took a piece of 3" round  al. stock, cut a 1"  section then faced both sides on my old lathe. After drilling a hole in it I took the rest of the material out with my homemade boreing bar to fit the intake pipe. A little Loc Tite, install air filter and tighten clamp and presto ---Hot Rod air cleaner !

Think I'll get the 5 to 10 horsepower increase they advertise ??? LOL

I think you will need to add a header if you want that much more power  ;D

Oh man I've got lathe envy. My Ashwamegh is the hot rod of the listeroid world, it's got chrome push rods.  ;D I just know it makes at least 2x hp with those.
