hey fellow rotarists...just wondering what you think about the bonez air intake kit on rx7.com...i might be getting one. id just like to see peoples opinions on it first...

 

I have it.It's basically a K&N style cone filter with a mounting bracket.I like it and would recomend it.

 

sweet..!! i might go ahead and order this then...it DOES come with tubing for the filter right?

 

Yeah I hae one too, Like mine as well

 

well got my filter a couple of days ago and already have it on...but i was wondering...to people who ordered the intake...on the instructions it said to unplug the electrical cable thingy from the AFM. but then later on it never said to plug it back on...so i wondering. do u leave it unplugged? or plug it back in? i already plugged it back in but i just wanna find out

 

The car won't run with it off I think. The AFM controls the amount of air your engine gets so you have to have it pluged in.

kleach

 

I have it. It does what it's advertised to do, but is more expensive than other intake kits...

Also, do not mount your AFM sideways as it my mention in the instructions. Make sure to mount it in the factory orientation (believe me, it matters).

 

Why dont you just get the auminum intake adapter, and got to advanced or autozone and get a K&N cone filter and a breather filter, all for about $50. Does the same thing, doesnt look much different, and costs about 1/3 of what the bonez or Apexi ones do.

 

i agree with Rxmfn7 I bought it from them for their $140 or what eve, its just sitting in my room right now, Ijust got one of those reactive air filters with the heat sheild, if you want mine I'll let it go for $50 just cleaned it and everything.............

 

so uhm....whats gonna happen cuz i already have my thingy sideways. it still runs fine. but yea what will it do?

 

Okay, I'll bite...why DON'T you mount it as it says in the instructions?

I used to own an n/a(it's currently owned by my father), so it would probably be a good idea to tell him to "right" the AFM.

 

In the '86-'88 cars, mounting the AFM sideways causes the flapper door to be effected by gravity. The result is a car that either runs too rich, or too lean, depending on how you mount the AFM. '89+ cars don't matter.

 

what was the factory position of your AFM i have mine if your in front of the car its on the right hand side sitting level with the front bumper in other words the cable is like pointing straight to my knees is that about right or should i have it turned to the left side!!

 

If someone could take a picture of there AFM and post it so i know how mine should sit i would appreciate it i just put an API intake on my car and i dunno if the AFM is on right and if it matters like you say it does then i would like mine in there right : )

 

See attached pic.

You will notice that the black part is up.

 

oh mines a 90 GXL so it shouldn't matter then?

 

Nope, doesn't matter on '89+ cars. They have a different (BETTER) AFM.

 

thanks man

 

Are they interchangeable?

 

Not directly.
