Exclamation What is the best intake system for a 90 FC GTU????

What is the best intake system for a 90 FC GTU????

I don't want to make my own white trash one with duck tape and a old shoe box or anything like that (little Ice breaker).

No but seriously I am a newbie and I really love my car and I want too start freeing up some more power. HKS, K&N, Blitz,.....is one better than the other is there one I am missing, please let me know from personal experience I appreciate the help!! Which one should I buy and whats the best bang for my buck???

I am sooo in luv with my car I really enjoy smoking brand new Preludes and stuff with my 1990 rotory powered machine.

Thanks for reading,
KC

I honestly don't think there is a big difference between the cheap ones and the more expensive "kits" so Choose whichever you can get a hold of.....I personally have the HKS kit on my 89 GTUsII.....goodluck. I had an ebay intake on my old 90 GTU.

Get a K&N for about $50. You'll also need a little breather for the air pump.

Do you still have your ACV? If so you're dumping in unfiltered air into the intake manifold at times.

Red face Nice

Okay where do I get a breather for the air pump?
So it doesn't really matter?
I saw an hks racing air intake system for $349.00 on modacar.com, where do i find the one for $50.00.

Thanks guys

No sir, they are Primax wheels, no longer being made in that style. Lots of ppl say they look like FD wheels, though, I like em.

Sweet, I was thinking about FD wheels for a long time but ended up with these, they were only 90 bucks a piece so not bad

As for the intake question...

Honestly, I'd rather have a K&N filter and a homemade air box than the professional ones I've seen.

If you've got money to throw around and don't want a ghetto setup, do some CAI searches, some people have made some NICE boxes. See if you can bribe them into making one for you.
