... This isn't entirely true. Most of the power benefit you get from an intake is from the much larger amount of air a cone is able to pull in than the stock snorkel. It might not be ideal to such up all that engine bay air, but it's not terrible either.
Will you "loose power"? No.

I don't think that my engine/transmission came from a Luce. As far as I know, the the 13B turbo engines on the Luce only came with automatic transmissions (JATCO L4N71B). That is for the 89 to 91 model years. There were some very rare manual transmissions on the Luce, but those only came on the 18 valve v-6 models. When I recieved my engine/transmission, it came with a manual transmission (Type R). The same one that came in the S5 Turbo II RX-7's.
Also the Luce was rated at the factory with 180 horsepower at the flywheel. When I had my car dynoed, it was pushing 173 horsepower at the wheels. So unless I got some super duper drivetrain with only a 4% power loss through the drive train, I'm pretty sure I got an engine that has 205 horsepower at the flywheel, with a more realistic 16% power loss through the drivetrain.
Thank you for informing us with such large letters that FD's do not have air flow meters. And thank you for informing me that the Turbo and N/A USDM air flow meters have identical dimensions and fit the same air box. That part was actually some help.
I will try to get my hands on a USDM TII S5 air flow meter and see if it fits into the turbo inlet duct.

i bought a 929 luce engine, its a mix of an s4 and s5 and of course the diffrent oil pan and heater hose being diffrent, oil pressure sensor is eliminated. put it this way its an s5 block with EVERYTHING s4 on it and 2 tps sensors as for the afm its a 318 s4 t2 afm so i doubt its that

Get an S4 air box.
Get an S4 afm adapter
Bolt S4 AFM adapter to airbox
Get a black stock looking silicon coupler, to connect it to the AFM.
Or you could get a reducer to connect it to the S5 air box. Its not like that tiny *** snorkel is gonna' flow that muh air and, youre probably not anywhere near maxing out the afm anyway.
