I'm looking for some way to mount a cone filter on a gsl-se intake how do i do it? websites, instructions. how is it done just need some info so i can get the swap finished

 

bump

 

get creative!

 

The adapters I believe are available thru Auto Zone. Also the 2nd gen 86-88 ones will work.

 

i think what im going to do is cut a piece of metal that is the same shape of the mass air flow box thing i think it is like 4x2 1/2 inches outside and 3 1/2x2 inches inside diameter so it think about a 3 inch piece of tubbing bent do the inside diameter welded to a flange that the size of the dementions above and do that 3 inch pipe to cone filter and that should be it might even go through the right radiator plate and do a true cold air intake not that it will matter any

 

or you could just buy a 2nd gen kit off ebay for twelve bucks

 

this way i could have something custom and something i could make some money off of. i think it might be a good idea

 

heres what i did and i plan on ducting it in front of the radiator or putting in a headlight air duct. dont copyright!!

 

This looks prety sick man!!

 

Ok I'm talking fuel injected not carbed thats why i was thinking i could do what i was doing

 

the best filter idea for a SE is just to get a K&N box filter.

 

^ +1. The GSL-SE already has a cold intake - why change that just to suck hotter air from the exhaust manifold side of the engine bay?

 

im not and to put that in will be just as much work and im probably going to put the filter in front of the rad. anyways

 

It's probably not much work at all. Because most models have the provisions or holes for other accesories and what not. I wouldn't put it past Mazda that the holes for the the mounting points for the stock air box are already there on your GS model. If you want I can take a picture of the mounting points for reference.
There was a recent thread or post from a member that did one of the sweetest actual CAI that I have seen.
He used some Intercooling piping that he had.

 

Been there done that with my GSL SE, "no improvement in performance or sound!". Waste of money! Just go with a K&N panel filter in the stock air box and utilize the stock cold air intake.

 

Of the three mounting points for the stock SE airbox, one is screwed to the airflow sensor which you already have, one is a small L bracket screwed to the inner fender, and one is a larger bracket screwed to the right rad support. 4 screws and you're done.

K&N drop-in replacement FTW

 

i dont have these brackets no one makes them cant find these things anywhere.

 

Junkyard or other sources. I have extras on my parts-wreck.

 

ok i got something to work so what do you think?
