alright i want something low in cost yet still good quality.

any ideas??

 

K&N filter, fab your own bracket to hook it up to the intake pipe. Since you have a NA, maybe you could make something custom out of a bent-pipe honda intake and a plate to go over the TB. or soemthign...

 

Just go to your car, remove the stock airbox and the AFM. Measure the inlet of the AFM, goto your local advance auto, and get a K&N filter that has a size clamp that matches up with the AFM. Then you just clamp the filter to the AFM, no messy brackets .

 

I have a Weapon R filter, and this weekend, I am getting some electrical tubing, and replacing my intake arm so as to make less turbulence and better looks!

 

I have the HKS filter system. I like it, but it's foam and now I think that I would rather have the K&N. I have the Pettit with the K&N on my FD and I love it.

 

That's what the Bonez is like. The filter slips over the AFM and you secure it with a big hose clamp.

 

i recomend a turbo

that is a great intake mod

 

make your own, just get some pipe, some rubber connectors and a cheapass cone. I got a HIPERFILTER for like 16.95, and made the rest from home depot parts, worked awesome.

 

DOH!!!!!!- (Homer)

what exactly is the "monkey looking thing" pissing on,,the pic doesn't come up,,thus making it less funny

 

i know a kid that took out the stock box and the AFM and just took some of his sisters pantyhose and taped them to the end of the intake pipeing... cant keep much cheaper than that. although i dont recomned it.

 

it is supposed to be the dancing fruit......

Pffft, yea if you want to be sucking in HOT air.

 

ok should i have said turbo and intercooler combo is a good intake mod?

 

What do you guys think about the intake system with the adaptors that's selling on eBay?

First off I should say hello to everyone. My father has decided he feels like having a second mid life crisis (or is this his third?...) and wants to get a Miata and supercharge it, so I get to take his 86 GXL off his hands. ^_^ I've been thinking of modding it, and am an engineer (in training) so the idea of making my own CAI is really neat. What kind of piping to you use from Home Depot though? Standard white PVC or something special. All CAIs I've ever seen are metal, so PVC seems a little strange. And can anyone point me to some dynos that show what a rotary gets from intake and exhaust typically? (Bragging rights, ya know?)

 

What makes you think the air in a NA engine bay is cooler? Have you ever measured it? You'll probably be surprised to find they're similar. Most of the heat comes from the radiator, and last time I checked NA's had those too.
Besides, that's what heat shields and cold air ducting is for.

 

dont you have to hook up those vacuums things? that come out of the stock air box?

grrrr. Hit the back button too many times. Sorry.

 

I'd say K&N is still the most tryed and true filter, don't ask me why but I just went with the APEXi intake system, just for aesthetical reasons I suppose.

 

ok i post this every time but here goes again

I think he was referring to the fact that while a turbo will certainly increase power, you will not see sufficient gains without an intercooler. Because while the turbo compresses the intake charge, it also heats it up due to that compression of charge. Thus, without an intercooler, you're sucking hot air.

 

The nicest intake i have seen for an NA is the cold air one that Checkpoint Enigineering makes. Its all mandrel bent and the air filter sits in the mouth of the car with a splashguard. Cant really get any more high flow than that. Go to www.checkpointengineering.com Althought there isnt a picture of the intake on the site, just take down the phone number and give them a call. Pretty much all the other intakes are just a bracket and a cone filter for 130 bucks. Big deal.

by the way, its a real K&N cone filter
