cold air intake
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to make a cold air intake for my FD.
I've seen schematics of one online a long time ago.
Now I can't remember where.
I think it was an M2 or something. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this.
thanks in advance.

Jupiter,
Just buy Two 3x6" cylinder type K&N's($70bucks) and cut a sheet of aluminum to fit between the radiator and the K&N's for a heat sheild. I also ran some 3" ducting to force air from the front of the car directly into the K&N's.

I don't know that I've ever seen schematics, but robinette's instructions are at:

If you keep the box, you get less noise.

Throw some K&N's on there and fashion a duct if you can. Then call it a day.

I'm thinking of making one because I have the facility to do it.

Cold air comes from the front of the car
The PFS "IS" cold air
Stock is cold air ('99 JSpec has seperate duct)
Stock/ Racing Beat is cold air
KnightSports is cold air
CWest (requires type II bumber) is cold air
M2, CWR & Tri piont is warmer but not cold.
Pettit, Blitz are even warmer but add a heat shield.
Apexi, HKS, Sard,Greddy,Amaiya etc are hot air.
The JSpec HKS hugs the fender and takes advatage of cold air from a headlight cover scoop. How much cold air it actually gets, who knows.
