  5. Buying/Making Short Ram Air Intake

    in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!

    Posted

    Hey guys, I have an 06 Chevy Malibu Maxx LT, 3.5l engine, and I was looking at either buying or building a short ram intake. Thought about cold air, but don't want to go outside the engine if I don't have to. Would like the power at low RPM's, not so much higher. Here is what I am working with. I can put up more pictures of anything you guys want!

    This is what I think it would be like if I did short ram, correct if I am wrong!

    What do you guys think? Definitely open to opinions and learning! Thanks!

  8. Grounding Options, Build Advise

    A sundown 4500D going to a single 15" driver, hm that sounds strangely familiar? Also two D3100's in the back, that's also really familiar. You should check out my build log in my signature acid.

    I am just going to do 4 runs of Stinger HPM 1/0 AWG wire from the front battery to the back battery (2+ and 2-).

    What subwoofer are you gonna have powered by the Sundown 4500D?

    Definitely tuned in for that. Woofer is the team Crossfire XS v2.

    Alright, so I am throwing back and forth the idea of the build on my Malibu. It's a daily rider that will compete in SSNW. I am throwing back some ideas and have heard from each side, but I can get a larger group of ideas online then I can talking to individual people. This would be a place for some useful information to others as well. There are my 2 areas of thought. I am doing 2 runs of 4/0 wire, and have these 2 possibilities. Will be running a Sundown SAZ-4500 on a single 15", 2 d3100s in the rear, with a DC270xp alternator up front.

    1. Run one wire hot (positive) and one ground (negative). I always thought that this would be the proper way to go. Make a complete circuit (modern theory of current flow) of alternator to front battery, through wire to back battery, into the amplifier, into the subwoofer, back to the amplifier, back to the back battery, through the wire to the front battery, and to ground. I never really thought of option 2 seriously until it was brought to my attention today.

    2. Run both wires hot (positive) and ground (negative) one in the front and one in the back, using the cars frame to proved a closed circuit. This makes more current flow possible, and does not use the wire as a source of power if the car is off. This provides more power when the car is on and the alternator is running, but less when it is off. Since I would be competing with the car on and obviously driving with it on, this is now also an option.

    For everyone popping in an opinion, thank you for the advise and experience. Please provide explanation behind your opinion, that's where my decision is based. Thanks guys. I will throw up a poll here too.

  13. Help With Accord Suspension

    in Air Ride / Hydraulics - Got Switches? Want Switches? Post here!

    Posted

    If you have seen my build log, I have added about 500 pounds of wood to the back of my car, not including woofers and batteries and such. I am looking to upgrade the suspension in the back of my 96 Honda Accord. I'm not sure I want bags, but air shocks or just more heavy duty shocks/springs. I contacted autozone and they said they don't make air shocks for my car. ( i know they are not the most reliable, but i had to try ) Any idea/help on how I would go about updating the suspension in the back? Thanks!
