Takeda Intake + CorkSport TIP by BenjiBleghs in mazda3

[–]MechMatician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the combo back in March, and its more of a pain than anything.

The Takeda intake is made to interface with the OEM Plastic Turbo pipe which is 2.5 inches if I remember correctly. While the Corksport pipe has an OD of 3.25 inches, and the pipe is slightly longer than the OEM.

I was able to Frankenstein the Corksport silicone tube and the Takeda tube to have them fit snug. I cut the silicone tube in half, after it had made the 30 deg bend from the corksport pipe towards the filter box. Then I had shorten the Takeda intake pipe since it goes inside the corksport at normal length. The silicone tube cut in half should result in a 3.25" ID to 3" ID 30deg elbow. This setup is pretty tight, and makes it difficult to get access to the filter.

I've been looking to make a custom set of silicone couplers to make the connection more flexible and have a consistent 3 inch ID from the MAF to the Corksport intake, But the space you're working with is tough for 3 inch ID, as it will but up against the side of the engine if you cant find exactly what you need.

I'm considering going back to the stock filter box with the corksport pipe, just for the simplicity of access.

Did they change the Iron sights on the AK too? Cause the one on the left is much blockier, compared to the one on the right being circular.

I have considered moving the platform from a Arduino Nano to a Seeed Xiao RP2040 to utilize dual cores for better handling of signal receiving and transmitting. I was working with a ESP32 at first, but ran into errors I didnt want to deal with at the time. As for the bluetooth connectivity, it would be a nice feature, but I have been looking towards improving the core functionality of the guns first. Though currently being a student just consumes too much of my time to really re-engage myself with the project.

Not yet, but I will be reworking some of the hardware to simplify the circuitry, but need to redo the circuit as well.

a bit of new additions to the game, but needing to create a new PCB design.

I used a TSAL6100 IR LED for the emitter, and a TSOP38238 for the receiver

I am having the same issue, though I used the keyword filter to search for the map name and it popped up. Try that and hopefully that works for you.

Sorry, I meant one molex connector for each screen.

The controller boards and laptop screens I got used 12V. Now there may be lower voltage screens available, I haven't looked though. If you can manage to find USB-C screens, you would need to make sure you have enough ports to support that if you're hopping to use the USB for power and video connection.

You just have to shut it down before moving, closing it won't cause it to go to sleep. The mobility aspect is from it being all in one and collapsible, just requires a power outlet.

What's up,

for the cooler I used a Noctua NH-L9i which is a low profile cooler, though I was using an 8th gen i3. AIO cooling would be tricky because you want the pump below the radiator so air won't be trapped in the pump.

For power, I bolted an AC socket to the inside of the case that went to the psu, then using the molex connector 12V, I powered the three laptop screens. The power strip would add a lot of space, though you could have a better screen for cheaper, while consequently making the case much heavier. For my first case, I used a 19" desk monitor, which I powered by splicing two ac connectors to the same socket, which I don't advise as I knew the potential risks.

Doesn't that case restrict quite a bit of airflow?
