What options do I have for an aftermarket intake for my 87 TII? I have an aftermarket turbo with a 3" OD but I assume an adaper will be necessary anyway. I also need to keep the stock MAF sensor. I already have an adapter and a cone filter on the other side of the MAF.
I heard that a 95 integra intake will fit in place of the original black plastic intake, But I need a place for the stock blow off valve to hook up as well. Is this not possible? and if not is there a blow-off valve that will fit on the stock top mount piping?

well guys, I would love to make one out of a pipe, but I was wondering about one that had extra holes for the blow off valve and the PCV.
for the record, I have a BNR stage 4 with an rtek 1.7 and an safc, so its not exactly an aftermarket turbo, and its not exactly the stock ECU
also what BOV options would I have with the stock top mount piping?

Unless you are asking if there are aftermarket intake manifolds (not cold air intakes) available, to which I think the answer is no, could be wrong though. Maybe something from an FD would work.



they sell these on ebay for like $20 they even come with a cone filter....nice aluminum piping, fits like a glove for my '87 TII. The BOV goes above the turbo like pictured.

yea i have a spare 95 integra short ram sitting around. i thought about using it once, youd have to cut it down but it does have a spot that you could run the bov to if you want it to stay internal.
I think the OP was talking about the discharge of the BOV going into the intake, ie the stock BOV. I made a Home Depot inlet and just drilled a hole and put in a union for the stock BOV.

and NJGreenBudd
what kind of BOV is that? and how did you get it to bolt on?
also, is that a short ram for a 95 integra? because its got a bend in the middle, and the ones I've been seeing have 2 bends, one on each end.

I went super ghetto and used PVC. I'm sure I spent no more than $12 at Home Depot. You don't want to leave the stock BOV (or bypass valve) open to atmosphere because that's a big vacuum leak.
they dont do the same thing.....they accomplish the same goal in different ways. thats why there's a distinction. ex. fwd and rwd cars accomplish the same goal (moving the vehicle) by diff. processes, and therefore do not do the same thing.. blow off valve and bypass valve both get rid of exess air/pressure between the turbo and the throttle plates (the goal), but achieve it by different means. if there wasnt a difference there wouldnt be a distinction.
...sorry im so ****....

anyways, moving the thread back to my original question...
What intake pipe did NJGreenBudd use? and what kind of BOV did he use? That is the kind of setup I am looking for since I dont want the ultra ghetto look of PVC in my brand new shiny engine bay. (sorry TongassT, no offense)
Its an no name brand intake for a TII, look on e-bay, type in "Mazda 90-92 91 RX7 RX-7 Turbo FC3S Short Ram Air Intake". $24.99........

and the BOV is a Blitz SS.

Can you post of a pic of how your afm is sitting? I have been through like 3 different intake ideas and want to see how yours sits in the engine bay.
