jerryrigginson Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I was on the mods. forum and a guy suggested a BFI, Im guessing a big fat intake. Its where you cut a hole in your air box and route an intake to the front grill area. where you could put 200 pounds of concrete int that gigantic open area in front of the radiator. Its a ghetto intake basicly and its better than the ones people sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIBBBY Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 BFI - If I remember correctly it is just a band name of a performance product...stands for Black Forest Industries... not Big Fat Intake.... It is just a brand name much like K@N, Injen, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIBBBY Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 That home made intake is your best option...Use the K@N flat filter over stock on that application.. That same write up is on intellexual.net....Also that plywood funnel under the head light deal will rot away over time. I suggest using plastic sheeting or even sheet metal instead which is lighter in weight and will last longer....Good Luck I have the injen intake tube with a Rod Millen huge filter pod, the funnel under the headlight I made with plastic sheeting. Also have a plastic heat shield around the filter to protect from engine robbing heat..Also, inside the snorkle tubing I have installed air breaker inserts...Don't know if my intake flows any better then the BFI deal.but it looks better atleast, oh well.....Here is a pic...

over40driver Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have purchased a sheet of abs plastic and polypropelene to make a BFI on my 95 400 , if anyone knows of a better design than the BFI-3 , please let me know. :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
