K&N Cold Air Intake Mazda RX7 88 87 86 1.3L FUEL; specific or generic?
I found these through just surfing around
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K-N-C...spagenameZWD1V
http://www.innerauto.com/store/?N=16...294967017+9194
Did K and N really make this specifically for the fc or is are they just another one of those generic cone filters? I know from previous reads that CAI for the fc is fabricated because no company makes it for our cars but maybe things have changed because those prices are a bit steep to be generic lol

I belive that was made for the FC. I am still running my air pump on my car and had to get a filter for like a go kart. You can see on the k&N one you have poseted there is space for the hose on the back of it.

yea i found the part list on the k and n site. thanks guys. does anyone have this set up in their car? I have a k and n drop in filter and i'm wondering if it's even worth considering to "upgrade" to a cone filter. car is 86 n/a btw.

Keep the stock airbox and just drop in a kn replacement. I did the "upgrade" and there is almost no difference. There are threads about this already but a cone intake for a na is really useless.
The drop in could cost a bit and I just happen to have one. If you want it just give me a pm and we can work something out.

The problem with a cone intake is that if you just drop it in without making a cold air box for it, it'll just be sucking in hot engine bay air. There are threads on making a cold air box, but using the factory box is adequate.

Brandonn - I have the K&N FIPK (cone, adapter, and bracket). It's a nice kit, but for the money I wouldn't expect less. I kept the plastic intake duct on top of the radiator shroud, but a box to keep the radiant heat out is on the list. The archive has a nice setup, and I read here on the list a recent thread with another one. Don't have any HP numbers though.
