does anyone have pics or can describe their custom intake done to their fc3s.
cause as you know its hard to find an intake on the market, and the stock one really sucks

The rest is just a short 3" alum. pipe to the turbo. I'm running a better filter now.

I think what he meant was custom intake manifold, but not really sure there.

Kenteth

I disagree, the guy says the stock intake sucks... the stock manifolds (esp tii) don't suck...

hey, although off topic, what strut tower brace is that in the 2nd post's pictures?

also, the CAI looks pretty sweet.

ddub

Looks like a shitty ebay one the last owner of my car put on. It's kinda crappy, I'm going to be replacing it eventually.

Thanks, it wasn't hard at all to make

There is a repost with working Pics on page 5 of the thread. Enjoy!

dDuB,where did you get the AFM adapter from?

i'm having trouble finding one

Falcoms

Being that you are running the K&N filter, how do you protect it from road grime and keep the oil on the filter semi-clean from this? Just being pickey .

Also, this darn off topic thing, which strut tower bar are you looking at, because I haven't seen any that I really like (they all, even the RB one, look like they favor the front and don't support the back at all).

ddub

Ebay, super cheap.

Kenteth

One came with my air filter if you need it, I never used it. Doesn't mount up to the s5 sfm

ddub

Nothing has gotten on it yet. It's higher up than the bumper and is tucked in there nicely, so its not really exposed to the road elements too bad.

I'm looking at the Corksport front and rear ones, seem good and aren't too expensive.

^ You think a good dremel from Home Depot can cut the hole bigger where the washer bottle was? and the prelude kit you bought came with everything, or did you have to buy anything else? i really need to get this done for my FC, been holding out on it cause i dont have anything to make the hole bigger. but ive been wanting to buy a good dremel lately with all the adapters, dunno if it'll work though.

I got the 60 bux dremel from Home Depot and it wasn't really good at making the hole. I think that a good drill would work better.

7th Heaven

^ that $60 dremel is the exact one i was looking to buy =\ i'll borrow a drill from a friend i suppose.

and my bad dDub, i meant to ask where you bought the piping and connectors from? another guy on here used the ebay intake kit piping, i thought it was you but it isnt.

ddub

3.25" hole saw and a drill, all you need to cut the hole, takes 10 seconds. Only other thing I needed to buy was a 3" ID to 3" ID rubber coupler from Lowe's.

7th Heaven

^ and where did you get the aluminum piping from? did you take a premade one from another car and cut it in different places to make it fit...?

ddub

92-96 honda prelude cold air intake from ebay cut into 2 sections. Mine didn't turn out the way I originally wanted, however, but this how-to is what I was following at first, before I cut the hole in the wrong place and kinda had to just redo it and make it work:

FYI nopistons.com seems to be down right now, so when it's back up that link will work.

7th Heaven

^ ah perfect, so you DID use the prelude piping like this other guy on here. thanks a lot man, and you said you got your 3" couplers at lowes? did they come blue like that? it looks hot..

ddub

Oh that's right I forgot about those ones. Ok I lied I had to buy more.

I got the black RUBBER 3" ID to 3" ID coupler at Lowe's, the one that connects the back of the pipe to the intake elbow.

The blue silicone couplers were bought off ebay. I bought a 1 foot 3" ID tube of silicone that can be cut up into couplers. I cut it into four 3" long pieces to use, three on this car and one on another.

It's like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

From the same seller, but he doesn't have any 3" 1 foot long tubes on there right now. Much cheaper than buying them seperately from another site too. I think the 1 foot tube was like 15 bucks.

7th Heaven

^ hes got a 2 foot one on sale for 18 bucks plus shipping which isnt too bad, or i may just buy 4 couplers from the local lowes or home depot. my situation is making sure the tubing will fit right up to the MAF sensor, the intake itself, and the throttle body's black tubing. seems like the couples hold it on there snug. im ordering the tubing tonight and gonna go hit up home depot for the items tomorrow... thanks for your help Dub, you should make a write-up and put it in the archives.

as for the off-topic business.. the cp racing strut tower bars look really nice but theyre on the spensitive side.. look them up on ebay. the front it a tripoint bar that connects to the firewall, looks heavy duty.

corksport and cusco make great strut bars. corksport's are cheaper but still great quality... cusco is 150 for the front or rear is oval shaft aluminum (really nice), and like 250~ for the rear in carbon fiber.
