What is the best intake mod for an '86 RX-7? I was thinking about getting the HKS Intake, but if there is a better one I will go with it.

 

Stay away from HKS. I have friends who used them on their cars. And when they took them off to clean them the discovered sand all in their intake ducting. Everyone of them reported this.

I'd go with K&N or APC

 

K&N

 

Thanks for telling me about HKS intakes. I'll go with K&N then, any suggestions on which one to get?

 

maybe those people were driving in deserts ..i have hks and never haev had any problem with it so far and ive had it over a year now.

 

I had someone at Rotary Performance (Troy?) a while back tell me that when he had HKS he found green filter foam in his inlet duct of his TII.

K&N or Bonez.

 

hm now im kinda weiry about the hks. where can i get the k&n cone filter..and what about that air tube going to the intake..can you just put one of those little breathers on it? and also where to get that from?

 

Any of those foam filters suck...

Next, dont bother spendig $140-$200 on an aftermarket 'intake kit'

If you have a 89-91 car go buy a corrrest diamater universal k&n for $40 and bolt it on. Instant intake. If you have a 86-88, then you'll also need an adaptor plate for the air meter.. www.k2rd.com has them for $25. Add a cone intake. So either way, you save at least $60.

 

I live up in high desert like platue(however you spell it) of Mountain Home, ID. Don't have any poblems with my K&N. The wind blows that sand and dirt up to 40+mph sometimes.

Go K&N

 

what about the air hose that goes to the engine...where bonez has a little breather on there intake kit ..can you buy that from a parts store that will fit the rx7?

 

Many auto part stores will have products by APC. They have a little air filter that fits perfectly. I used one for my air pump. It's about 1in tall and looks like a mini K&N filter. Runs about $10-15 I think.

 

When I got rid of the air pump, that went away. What wason it before was one of those breathers you put on the oppisite valve cover you put oil in ona v8. I think like 10 bones at the auto parts store

 

which k&n filter cone do you use, i see them but they dont have the rubber part to clamp down on to the hks adapter plate...anyone with pics of this?

 

Hey Dyre, where are you getting K&N universal cone filters for $40? Thanks
Matt

 

anyone

 

What size breather do you need to put onto the air pump?

 

Ebay -- less than $60 you get a cone filter + adapter

 

ive got the breather and adapter already, i just need to find which k&n cone filter it is to get cause i dont see the right ones at the parts stores.

 

hey preset, what size or kind of breather are you going to use, cause I have the adapter coming, but still need to get filter.

 

at the parts store they have a apc sections with all sorts of little honda looking crap. they have the breathers ..which fit right in the opening for the air pump

 

I got one of those off ebay. Kinda sucks riggin up a bracket to hold the thing, gotta get creative. Mine is kinda ghetto for now, but effective. I got the little breather filter that goes on the hose to the air pump from autozone for $7.99
Not sure exact price but less that $60 for everything.

 

do you have the box the filter came in and possilby know what the part number is? i just cant find which k&n filter it is

 

Presetlimit,

Check out ebay (www.ebaymotors.com) and do a search for "rx7 intake" or "rx7 turbo." I have seen lots of intake parts on sale for really cheap. For example, here is one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=595922373

They are pretty cheap (~$30) and come w/ adapter for 86-88 gens (you don't need adapter for 89+ models). They are not the best performance unit, but they sure come close to the K&N unit (bet you can't tell the difference).

Also, you will need an air breather for the air pump (unless you remove it). There are many. I one that I like is the K&N (PN 62-1511). It is about $17 and is awesome. You can look at K&N's web page for suppliers where you can buy them.
