you can build your own K&N intake kit for stupid-cheap. $100 - $150.

Total cost: about $100 (without breather filters) if you have the air pump still, you can get a moo silencer or make one yourself using breather filters. you also will want to add a breather for the air pump intake (like i did in the photos above) you can also ad some split rubber hose or weather molding to the edge of the heat shield if you like. i did that when i ran this setup, but i don't have any photos. heat shield template: https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...5&d=1254241690 |
I'll vouch for the Fighters Garage intake. I designed it - it uses nice pipes with beads rolled on the ends (the flimsy Ebay pipes don't have beads rolled, they want to pop off), a nice silicone elbow to the primary turbo, welded nipple for the airpump air to draw from, heat shield, and real K&N filters.
It's a good, straightforward intake for a fair price. Dale |
So the pettit intake is kinda too much I have a stock box with some ebay pipes but fitment is horible so I think the fighter one looks really good how does the heat sheild hold up and can I plug the smog pump with a little filter so there is no turbulense.
|
You don't have to worry about turbulence with the airpump - it's disengaged at full throttle. But, you can get the airpump-less version of the intake (which costs less if I remember right) and just run a filter on the airpump.
The heat shield is pretty solid, it will hold up really nicely. It's pretty thick and sturdy metal. Dale |
Ok great looks like iam going to get the fighter intake and can I make a plate to cover the opening were the stock box went?
|
Is the fighter intake have all connection for all the hose also?
|
Just the blowoff valves. The air pump relief tube gets a special "anti-moo" cap and the blowoff valves vent to atmosphere.

Personally, I would go with the SR Motorsports CAI. While SR is not a well liked name on this forum, the intake box is an exact rip of the M2 CAI. Since M2 isn't around, it's the next best thing.
