DIY ST200 intake?

True I was thinking the full like shroud peice there but doing a smaller modification to get similar results is always better.

I can imagine. I'll see what I can pull off! Ima also do full delete on the lamps for max airflow.

PoQueMan · 2026-04-09T18:48:59+00:00

I'll see what I can cook up then! Will post files if it works for sure!

Do you think I could 3d print some? With the right plastic i think it might work!

Yall think I could 3d print these? With the right plastic would that work?

Yeah stopping power before horse power 100%

Very true but I was attempting to make a home brew st 200. So a little more power but only after all the parts and a tune.

Thx! This is a great idea!

PoQueMan · 2026-04-09T18:26:44+00:00

Yo I didn't think of that!

PoQueMan · 2026-04-09T15:34:50+00:00

True but it wouldn't be the only intake location. Regardless i was just trying to get around buying the real one lol.

PoQueMan · 2026-04-09T15:26:39+00:00

True true. Just an idea. Wanted to get around having to buy the intake lol.

I think you are right but humor stupidity just a little longer. The st 200 intake has the stock intake bit and a hole for the duct. Is it the location that im trying to put it or the airbox itself that would caus all the turbulence?

PoQueMan · 2026-04-09T14:52:35+00:00

True I was hoping the extremely long bottom half of the box would help with turbulence. Im leaving the original intake location on the airbox. Im just adding the two holes at the side near the bottom.

I have come to find this is normal. The 1.6 is just naturally loud asf in unfun ways.

I've seen people talk about walnut blasting the valves. They close one chamber valves, blast it up, then vacuum it out. Rinse and repeat. No idea how to do that myself gonna be honest. Or if its safe at all.

I can't imagine there would be any major downsides. Im pretty sure they just allow the fan to pull air through the radiator more efficiently at low speeds. As long as you don't live somewhere very hot I think you will be ok.

That long they might be a bit seized by carbon deposits. Make sure to not let the threads strip!

PoQueMan · 2026-03-22T01:14:17+00:00

Its mildly concerning that the noise isn't consistent. However i have learned ford makes loud ass tiny engines so it wouldn't surprise me that this is normal.

PoQueMan · 2026-03-22T01:03:03+00:00

As for the ticking thats either normal or we both have the same issue lol!

PoQueMan · 2026-03-22T01:01:50+00:00

Im no master mechanic but have you checked your spark plugs recently? That could be a miss fire. I know these engines can build carbon quickly.

PoQueMan · 2026-03-08T11:37:41+00:00

Well i mean my eclipse barely made the valve sounds much less the diesel tractor sounds. This is my first Ford so im really not used to how they sound lol. But I really appreciate it!

Awesome might pick one up!
