Ready to get intake (searched)

I checked reviews section and did a search, but I need some help. Decided to get an intake for my 94. I see many different types. What is recommended for the FD? what kind of HP gain do you realisticly get?

Any link or model numbers would be appreciated and one last thing....Is this something that a Fairly mechanically inclined guy can do?. If there are any sites that show the installation ,please let me know also...

Thanks !

Oh....

I didn't rip this off anyone, infact I thought of it myself. I just checked some of his posts and don't see any signature. I dunno.

BTW...I found a website that may have some good info for intakes...

Did RX7 forum decide to quit sending emails out? I notice for last 2 weeks it does not send me email reply's even though its checked at bottom of screen.

Thanks!

The M2 box is good along with the RX7Fasion. If you plan on going single turbo or modding the hell out of the car anytime soon you may ot want to waste your money. Maybe just get the Apexi.

you might even get a used one. Speaking of the devil, I bought Mightyslash's old Amemiya intake, sanded, repainted, got a new foam filter, it looks awesome(and brand new) and it cost me less than 1/2 by the time I was done. I have some pics, but my friend has my adapter for my digital camera....

I have the Apexi Super Intake, & I love it. It looks really cool, reduces under hood temps, and sounds cool when the turbos spool up! I had the filter housings and OEM hose clamps powder coated red, just to dress up the engine bay a bit!

Just run without one, its cheaper and free's up horsepower. All the big tuners in Japan run them this way, just throw some chicken wire or something over the turbo so you don't suck in a goose or something. Other than that my ASP works great or a nice used Tri Point would do the job. Any of the others that have already been mentioned would also fit the bill just fine. If you want the M2 you better order it now, cause it may take a few months until you get it though.
