New intake?
I've been looking around for a new air intake for my completely stock 87 non-turbo, and i found many like this one on ebay. Seems good, but would it be an improvement over the stock intake? Take a look and give me your thoughts, thanks

It'll sound "better". But uh no no performance gains. Like 1987RX7guy said, buy the K&N drop in filter and use the stock intake box/ducting until you can make a REAL worthwhile intake setup. You will not find any real Cold Air Intake kits anywhere. You'll have to make your own setup.

That may soon change again. I may start production on my CAI again.

I have used the K&N drop in on other cars. Mostly it gives a better sound and very slight power increase especially at low RPM. Is that how it is for rotary's too?

K so that one is definitely a no-go. Someone please tell me why one of these is $100 more than the other? Are either of these what you guys where mentioning earlier?

The bottom one has a better adapter to mate to the AFM. The problem is with the top one that the circle to square shape has a poor flowing ability. You need to buy a good quality one (I don't know where to get one from myself because I have an S5 and the AFM is different).
Buy the top one and then buy a 92 Prelude CAI system and custom make your own CAI. There is a write up in the archive at the top of the page. I suggest you read it and every single thread in the archive. It will make things a lot easier on you.

I have the "ebay" filter. The only improvements i've seen is a deeper sound getting rid of about 10lbs of plastic in my engine bay. I'm looking to make a CAI.

The only true advantage of adding a cone filter, in the hot engine bay, is the radiator shroud makes a great tool tray. and yes, I have one of those stupid things too.
The butt dyno shows no increase, but the ear dyno thinks it sounds better.
