Air Filter & Intake Discussion
- Thread starter Crocoman
- Start date
Ive tried several times to buy one but they never get back to me...wish someone would make something. Or atleast a better intake..could just do the quick and easy aluminum pipe and pod filter but will def need a cold air feed and heat shieldSame thing i thought, first time i saw this thing
For making it I just need to find time to remove my front bumper, unscrew that duct, and send it to my friend. He will scan it, make even some improvements and pint it out with 3D printer (he is working in 3D printing company). He also ownes i30N and he wants to make it for himself but if someone else wants to get it too, he can produce those more.
I'm going to start work on one once I get back from holiday. Sick of waiting! Already removed the air box and fitted just a filter using a 3d printed adapter. Should be fine in this cold weather while I get a heat shield and proper cold air intake made up.
Some news about that "German quality" induction pipe (80% of people who bought it, are reporting about same problems):
When it came:
And how it looks now:
So I talked with my friend and asked him, does it make any sense to use 3D printer at all for making this kind of details because there is a bad deformation after 4-months of usage.
He told me that it happen because of low quality material used on 3D printing. He told me that he will improve the structure of that pipe and will use also littlebit of rubber for making pipe more resistant for vibrations and heat.

I think the main problem is the filament. This is maybe printed with ABS or PETG, but this is not resistant to temperatures above 95°C. There are some kinds which are more heat resistant / shape stable up to 220°C.
Is that adaptor for the end of the induction pipe? What size does each end measure?
If anybody can scan and get me a file, I can 3d print a mandrel and make them from carbon fibre. Just sayin
Would you like me to find out what the file I would require is? We have so many different machines at our place growing different materials. Are they all used with the same file type?
