Xtra Posted November 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Attached the gate to the Adaptor and the clips to hold the top in place. There is a large gap that will require some work on the mold to correct. The gap can be seen just in front of the gate under the elbow reducers. The thicker material looks like it will work and be strong enough to do the job. The Adaptor is still in the prototype stage It is my hope that this is the answer for the ST. The mold will have to be modified to correct the problem. From top to bottom 1. The V3 lid and filter . 2. The Adaptor Plate, and at the bottom 3. the top of the OEM bottom half.

Xtra Posted November 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) This is what the patch coves, and why the bottom half is cut the way it is. The V3 uses every bit of space, it is touching on the bottom, and on the right side of the photo, a fuse box? There is only a small gap between the snorkel, and it is pushing the limits on attaching the accordion hoses as well. See how they extend into the Bottom Half, there is still room needed for the Reducer Elbows to attach them. Somehow it fits.

There is a fair amount of interest in the V3, but nothing that Afe or K&N need to worry about. One is still available at this time.

Xtra Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Decided to check out the clearance on the battery tray. In the photo is an H6 battery. The H6 is 10.94 L X 6.89 W X 7.48 T. The H7 is 12.40 L X 6.89 W X 7.48 T . The only difference is H7 is 1.46 inch longer than the H6. The clearance between the H6 and the V3 is right around 1.5 to 1.75 inch. It will be a super tight fit but it looks like the H7 battery will work with the V3. We will find out for sure in a few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) There is one V3 remaining and it is up for grabs. Anyone that is interested please PM me for more information and pricing. Makes a great Christmas present for the gear head in your life..... lol Edited December 11, 2021 by Xtra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Test fit the engine cover with the V3 installed. I do not like the way it looks as it covers up the Elbow Reducers. The cover also did not sit down properly as the V3 sits higher than the OEM air box. Edited December 18, 2021 by Xtra 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I think that by trimming the engine cover along this natural line might let it fit properly and still show off the V3. I just might do that myself to find out. Edited December 18, 2021 by Xtra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Well it turns out that the engine cover does fit without any trimming it at all. But I did it anyway lol .. I still like it better without the engine cover. Perhaps it is because I am use to seeing it without the cover on. I will leave it like this for awhile.

Xtra Posted December 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 The V3 is going to be test fit on a ST in a few weeks. I checked and the ST and Sport both use the same air box, filter and lid. It should fit, and it will be confirmed soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 4 hours ago, TT Steve said: It sounds like you have a test ST already, Yes, it was by chance and a bit by accident. Someone ordered a V3 and only after it shipped I discovered it was for an ST. It was a bit awkward explaining that it might not fit and that their car was now the test mule, but they stepped up instead of just returning it. The V3 is in transit and should arrive around Christmas, so we should know around the New Year sometime if we are lucky ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Decided to do some work on the Adaptor and sorted out exactly where the mold needs to be modded. That big a** filter needed more breathing room. lol The new thicker ABS worked out great and is much stronger, I like it. I will have to try and obtain some more lids though, and I am not sure if that is even possible , but I am moving forward with this adaptor project anyway. I will also have to modify the gasket some as it is a little bit narrow, as seen in the photo. . Edited December 27, 2021 by Xtra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks red95Stang, To think I did not know if the V3 would even fit the ST, and the first V3 installed is in a ST. So I can now say that the V3 fits both the Sport and the ST as long as they run the 2.7EB or 3.0TT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
