On a 84 GS how to make a air intake
i have a 84 GS and i'v look on line and i can't seem to to find a cold air in take. do they make one? or do i have make on my self or what ??...... im lost on this one guys
|
you have to fabricate it. i thought about this a few times getting 3" piping for a dry exaust at you local hardware store and run it from the air dam to the intake of carb cover.
|
its not dry exaust its a dryer exaust
:withstupi |
Hi if this is a 12A like mine you wont find anething out there to bolt on I am curently working on a plan of this type myself not so concerned about cold air intake just want to get rid of the old blue air intake and change to a K&N cone style filter.

This is a site for ICAI by Steerling & Carl. www.ten15.net/maz.tutorials/index.html
BumSlie420, ask all the questions you please. That's how many of us learn. Have Fun ; ) David EDIT: This site will provide some information on cone filter & other filters. www.knfilters.com |

That's actuall hurting your airflow, WB. The ribs on the dryer hose create a "vortex" (so to speak) and shrink the hose down to half it's original size. So, that 4" tubing you've got on there is actually like a smooth 2".
Not to mention that type of CAI-shit doesn't work, but I've hashed that out in too many other identical "CHECK OUT MY M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-AAAAAD TYTE CAI!" THREADS. |
Don't forget to remove the pipe that goes down to the exhaust manifold heat shield and find a way to remove/stick open the flap in the snorkel that restricts airflow.
The tube down to the exhaust mani doesn't show up on WB's because he's got headers and it's removed. CAIs don't give any real gains that anyone has been able to prove on our cars. The real gains come from carb modding. But if you mix carb modding, a K&N and a CAI, then you pretty much are sure that you have good airflow... but the K&N and CAI aren't really big gains. On a GEO a K&N and CAI give huge gains aparently, but not an Rx7 Jon |

I bet you would take 3 hp on that SRX7 car............. Even tho the Texas bunch CREEPED the SRX7 rules I would think most of the owners would accecpt 3 hp for a couple bucks.
I'll take all the 3 hp gains I can get for $20 worth of material & some of my time. |
Im currently making one. I just fabricated a hat just like a trubo hat than im gonna run 3" tubing right behind the passenger side headlight with a cone filter. It should sound and look pretty good when im done. Ill post pics of it when its all welded but im still waiting on my tubing to come in.

Here's my setup, one big difference is the better throttle response and smoother revs. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/656571

I needd to know how to make sift one for a 84 GS
you people keep telling me how to do if for other modles but not for a 84 how would be the best way to do it
|
BumSlie420, for the most part the 1981 through 1985 carb cars are the same. Other than maybe the overflow bottle.
Have Fun ; ) David |
Mines an 84. My cone air filter came in today. YAY!!!!!!!
