[@bodeiuppenlatz1918]

Such a underrated car KZbinr man goodluck with It u deserve more subs

[@matt13ross]

Thanks for the kind words! KZbin doesn’t promote my stuff as much as I’d like but I’m grateful for the subs! Likes, comments, and shares go a long way!

I was surprised when I saw how many subscribers you had. I thought it was a lot more. Love the content

[@matt13ross]

Thank you! I gain a few everyday, can't complaint too much I guess lol.

[@Pro_ject240]

I'm glad to see you went with aluminum. Stainless steel is a terrible thermal conductor which means it takes longer for it to remove heat from the source. Thats why you almost always see cold side stuff exclusively aluminum. Keep it up.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! Yea I just thought it would be easier to make at first.

[@RalphsGarage]

Looks just like the intake I made for my swap. I told you the 4 inch pipe fits behind the head light. I did put a bracket on the pipe to keep it from moving around in the area below the head light.

[@matt13ross]

Probably will do a bracket once I assure that his is the final intake setup.

[@BrentonaBike]

Making a bracket is a great idea

[@plzpeek1014]

this might be one of my fav e36's

[@matt13ross]

Thanks!

[@Thewatson77]

Looks good. Defo make yourself a support bracket down by the filter 👍🏼

[@matt13ross]

That's the plan, as long as I don't find any issues with this design.

[@Doglifepro]

Great job on the car. I'm contemplating widebody. I contemplated LS1 too, but went turbo and looking for traction. Don't forget to fix your glovebox sag ;-)

[@matt13ross]

Yup, glovebox sag is on the list for sure lol!

[@paulsullivan1901]

Looking good!!! Can't wait to see the freshly painted rollbar back in it and then see some driving videos. The South East has had some really nice weather lately. Actually brought the M3 home for a week which was nice. Keep up the great content!!!

[@matt13ross]

I have the roll bar back in, just not bolted up yet and the rest of the whole interior is still out lol. Nice weather is coming though!

[@paulsullivan1901]

You told me color in a previous conversation, what is your impression seeing it in the car now? I bet it goods good!

[@matt13ross]

Love it! But not complete yet.

[@SOMT91]

Awesome video as usual. Careful welding Aluminum and SS without a ventilator. That stuff is toxic.

[@matt13ross]

That's a purchase I need to make!

[@rakoonloufa88]

you are great! you can and do your own car! congratulations!

[@matt13ross]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Johnny-bu5dc]

Great job... but.... Won't the filter suck the "heat" from the hot road since it's really close to it?

[@matt13ross]

Nah, it's above the bottom of the bumper. Much cooler than the hot engine air trapped in the bay.

[@Johnny-bu5dc]

@@matt13ross That's true everything is cooler then the hot engine bay 😂.. I was just asking 😁

[@maxdouglas2828]

Awesome. This is definitely in the future for my car. Also you sort of look and sound like Seth MacFarlane haha

[@matt13ross]

Lol Idk if that' s a compliment or an insult....

[@NikosDIY]

I have to be very obedient, because I liked, subbed and clicked on both of the videos lol

[@matt13ross]

I appreciate that! lol and you commented!

[@BrentonaBike]

It's so fun learning new skills while building a car. I need to practice my welding. There are so many gives and takes with swaps. I opted to run a smaller filter but to keep it near my fog light. I removed the fog light and put in a blank with a couple small slits to provide air to the filter. IAT runs ambient. If you don't like your placement of yours, you can install it on your intake tube. It will read the air flow as it's in the stream. That's why you can put pressure sensors anywhere, but temp has to be in the flow. Are you going to install the radiator ducting around the front? If not, I'm curious what your idle coolant Temps are when it's hot outside, over 90.

[@matt13ross]

I'm going to do some kind of undertray at least, not sure on other ducting yet. I also need to get A/C in this thing. I will definitely report on the IAT when it warms up.

[@BrentonaBike]

@@matt13ross it would be sweet if you do a fully ducted radiator vented through the hood. Mostly so I don't have to figure out how to turn the flow up, ha

[@matt13ross]

Idk about cutting a hole in my hood...lol.

[@davidopx507]

Cool

[@daledale5693]

nice

[@ozi6151]

Nice Job👍

[@matt13ross]

Thank you! 👍

[@GTE465]

Hope you added loctite to that iat sensor nut?

[@matt13ross]

Good catch!! I'm gonna go back and add that. I used a plastic nut so if comes off, hopefully it doesn't implode the engine.
