Hello everyone,

Just recently acquired an Alpine supercharger and installed it on my 99 Trooper. Loving it for the most part. :) It's kinda noisy at idle but I am sure most of you know that already. :D

Here is a picture of the beast.

Anyway, it came with a cone air filter. I would like to convert this back to the stock filter box with some modification to allow more air in.

The question I have for you guys is this. In the picture below there is a piece of intake pipe that has like a 45 degree bend at the TB. I am looking for this part. To me it looks like maybe its off a 3.2 SOHC - I see that a bunch of you VXers are using this setup. :)

EDIT: Sorry I couldn't link the image. I will try to do it later but maybe some of you will know what I am talking about. :)

Thank you!

Here is the piece I am looking for. Am I correct that this is off a 3.2 SOHC?

I think most of us are using something aftermarket for the intake plumbing. I always found that the piece it came stock with got too hot from the engine and was not any real help for the passing of cool air being some alloy. I would try to avoid that stock piece if you want to push cooler air. Look C/F or even F/G if possible. Plastic should be ok as well. Of course the trick is, finding something aftermarket to work with the airbox. You will most likely have to do some modifications to a part. I believe my C/F intake was advertised for Acura/Hondas, and I cut/filed/modified the crap out of it to get it to work with the airbox. Of course, if you go with a simple short ram, it will be easier to find a lot of options. Just my opinion....

In any case, maybe someone here with the S/C will be willing to sell you theirs. *shrug*

Good luck!

Thanks for the info. What is C/F and F/G?
