New Vertical Build

[Piomarine]

I would order a couple PinWheel intakes off the interweb........

How would those work on a round tank?

This looks cheap and easy and could be done with a round pipe.

Look at the pics of mine a few pages back. It has them.

Oh yeah I forgot it was a tank. You would have to build a box that comes out with a flat surface I would do a BoomShuckaLucka style - 3 or 4 inch

My Custom intake. I had the idea to drill a bunch of 1/4" holes in a circle pattern but after drilling a few I got tired of that and punched them out with a step bit till they overlapped then got tired of that and took die grinder to other side. :mrgreen:

for those following along at home...
smitty and i are putting on a clinic on how to hijack a thread. ound:

 

[Piomarine]

I was almost literally rolling on the floor!!!! :laugh:

...now...:focus:

I realized that I've been talking about this project but never actually posted a picture of the tank I am actually working with (forgive the perspective, it's bigger than the picture makes it look). With the air intake discussion think I am settled on one of two designs, either the 3-4" pipe BSL style or the trap door on a chain (unless someone can give me a reason that I should shy away from that idea)

^^^maybe put a quarter next to the tank for scale. Then it would look huge.

 

[SmittyJonz]

I think we should see a pic by end of tomorrow with the compressor plate cut off...........

I'M AN IDIOT!!!!! :doh:

 

[pjtexas1]

I would go with the pipe style intake just because I think it would be easier to dial in temps.

...at least there's no pressure to get started on this thing... :shocked:

 

[SmittyJonz]

 

[Piomarine]

Looks great! I'm gonna call that a pep talk for getting started!

 

[SmittyJonz]

How about Now?

 

[Piomarine]

45 minutes and two cutting wheels later and the compressor plate is off. That stupid plate was 1/4" thick! Oh also notice the quarter on the ground...:-D

 

[pjtexas1]

Dang that thing is big!
