what intake should I get
 

what intake would be best for my 1988 N/A drop top ?

please search before asking questions like this, it's been answered many times before

There isn't really an intake kit available. You pretty much have to make your own. The only one that I know of is the Mariah one and it's 500$. Then there is the Prelude kit that you modify to work. Honestly searching for "CAI" or "cold air" would have giving you this answer.

its his first post and you tell him to search.........wow.

Yea you pretty much have to make your own. I made my t2 TID out of a honda accord intake.

Intake manifold? Cold air intake?

For both options, there are no bolt ons available. Either one will require some fabrication.

I assume you are talking about a cold air intake. Oddly enough, you will find your answer if you search for "cold air intake". There are detailed writeups available on how to construct your own.

As a new user, you should read the FAQ before posting. It will cover probably 99% of the questions you have:

The stock intake system works just fine, and is already configured like the "cold air intakes" you see advertised for Honda economy cars in their attempt to mimic real sports cars like yours. Save your money for a date with some hottie. ;)

i wasn't trying to be rude, i'm sorry i come across that way sometimes..
wouldn't it be better to tell someone to search on there first post rather than later??

and no the maria one isn't 500. it's 350 with the K&N intake setup only 125 for the heatshield itself.

lol, true save my money for a hottie.

the DIY intake is the best way to go

were can i find a DIY intake p.s I do not know anything about the rx-7 fc so plz dont make fun of some of my dum questions, im admitting im a noob

DIY = Do It Yourself

this applies to an na
 

To get any real gains out of the s4 intake, you need to spend a lot of time (and potentially money) properly fabricating an unrestrictive system that keeps the heat out and draws in plenty of cool air (i.e. a quality filter shielded from the engine's heat with ducting allowing in plenty of air). It's not that simple. The ebay cone filter with cardboard box shielding just doesn't cut it.

You can also swap in an s5 intake manifold for further gains but I agree with Evil Aviator, leave it stock and spend the money somewhere else. Whatever the setup, ensure you have properly functioning auxiliary ports.


And if the mod bug's really biting, you could always do this:

The one thing I've learn from trolling this forum is... pimping out your intake is pointless on an NA Rotary, unless you've installed a free flowing exhaust first!
