look into my engine bay... nothing special ^^





but wait...
wtf is this???





and whats under the left fender????





let's check out whats hiding under the complete stock intake box





and how the **** does this fit???
aaaaaaah... just threw out your AFM and drive with an map sensor... and then cut off the flange for the AFM from the stock intake box



3" intake pipe fits PERFECT



understatement pur... i will paint the intake pipes flat black...
i will also route my 2,5" FMIC piping hidden from cops eyes made out of black plastic-pipes

tell me what you think

 

You Sir are a genius !!

 

That is plain and simply awesome, real sleeper style.

 

im confused... y is this a big deal?

 

That's pretty fkn badass.

 

Get a filter on that intake pipe before you suck up a bird or small rodent.

 

how great would that be?!

What is that smell? *checks pipe* Aw crap another rat....

 

are you doing this to convince cops that its stock or to convince people in races? either way, i suggest you get a heatsheild to hide the turbo even more, and painting pipes black goes a long way to hide them. it is a pretty tricky set up though.

 

It's great for getting de-classed in autocross... hahahaha </sarcasm>

 

I like the look of the big MAZDA air box lid, plus the benefit of 3 inch cold air intake from underneath. I wish I thought of that!!

 

thx guys

its not a big deal as you can see...

but i've never seen such a setup before on the rx7club forum... so i've shared my idea

Apexi intake ordered



main reason is because we have very very very strict laws... its IMPOSSIBLE to drive legaly with an open intake here... :/

heatshield is on the list..also to hide the 3" downpipe and stock + wideband lambda

 

thx

i will also let my stock TMIC installed and route some dummy pipes under the upcoming turbo heatshield... and the FMIC will be painted black + hidden behind a black mesh

 

Nice .... I was about to do the same thing.

 

Hey, good job... I like your Greddy water thermo sensor relocator. I got the same thing. I put mine a bit lower, more toward the radiator. Do you still get good temperature readings where you have it?

 

I'm a noob, but I didn't think it would run w/o the AFM. Looks sweet though.

 

ok.......map sensor? sorry...new to rotaries and i tried searching but it frustrates me!!! and cut off the part from the stock box and put it where!?

 

you are beddy beddy sneaky

 

Do you have the engine braced so that it doesn't rock back and forth?
If not, that pipe is going to rub against the sheet metal, and it's going to get shredded from the engine movement.

I'll be the first to say it but it's under the right fender not the left one lol. Killer setup though.

 

That is some sneaky s^&*.

 

Pretty cool! now to find a way to do it without removing your washer fluid.

 

Im still confused ... why is this sneaky or so smart?? its not like it adds tons of power.... a cai on a turbo I heard was almost useless? ......... Unless I'm missing something it would be like having a nitrous bottle in the back of your car, hidden, but not hooked up......
???


Your doing it to hide stuff from the cops? I cai is illegal?

 

i don't think that the water is changing its temp significantly into 10cm of rubber hose
also the upper radiator hose isnt the best place anyway

i'm running a standalone... (Apexi Power FC)

of course this mod WILL NOT WORK on the stock ECU... because of the need of the AFM

that's a very good point, i also have thought about that...
but first i will try it out as it is...
if it's a problen, i will get a coupler like this: http://www.sandtler.de/katalogangebo...r/humphose.jpg
should eliminate that problem

oooooops thx *edit* ^^

no :P


if it's useless for u nobody forced you do do that...

yes, it's illegal ove here like i've wrote... every change on the stock car is illegal, except you have papers for it (TÜV) and drive to an authorizised place... they check your COMPLETE car, and if the papers are alright you get the mods printed out with the VIN number etc. from your car.... now its legall... oh, did i mentioned that you have to pay for that? about 300€ (~390USD) everytime you visit that asses...
but there are much mods that you can't make legal... like a CAI, standalone ECU, another Turbo, catless exhaust (strict emission laws), adding more power that's about 20% more than on the stock car, minimum car height from the street to the first "hard" part off the car (like the exhaust) is 11cm...
i hate my country ^^

 

I give you credit, doesn't matter what you do, its creative.

 

i dont understand... did you take the intercooler pipes off or ..what
