Heres an easy one that works, its not a cold air intake but more effiecient that the stock and it will cost you about 3 bucks!

Take the filter and trace it onto a piece of black ABS cut that out and you should have a cover thats exactly the size of the facotry filter. Drill a hole in it right in the middle, be sure its the middle. Then get a nut that fits on the center car stub, and long headless bolt (not sure if thats what its called) then use a wing nut to attach. homemade top to the carb stud, Presto more air in the intake ... Make sure the stud and bolt you add to the carb one in the center is really really tight, you dont want one falling in the intake

Even sounds pretty cool too ...

Forgot to tell you about this, I did it a long time ago, and used it on my 85, till I got Racing Beats Power Pulse breather and a K&N, and to tell the truth I couldn't tell the difference from RB's $90 and my $3 'homeboy' made one

 

Sounds just like the intake I made after I saw the Bonez racing one. I said "Hey, I could make one of those", so I did. Except I used plexi-glass so you can see in the carb, its kinda cool

PS - I got threaded stock from the hardware store (3' length) and cut it down. Then I used one of those "long nut" things to join the pieces. It looks like a nut only its like 2 inches long.

 

Works pretty good too, plexi would have been a good idea, but me and plexi dont like each other

 

lol, you and plexi dont get along eh? Hmmm...Maybe I dont want to know... Anyway, yeah cutting it was a little hard, im thinking of inversting in one of those rotozip type saw things with all the plexi work ive been doing lately...Or at least a cutting tip for a dremel.

but what does it look like?

 

Here is a picture of the actual $59.99 Bonez Racing intake installed. Yup, $60 for that which made for under $5. Two pieces of hardware and one scrap piece of plexi from the hardware store (left over from cutting down a bigger piece, they only charged $2 for it). Mine looks the same only its see through on the top .

Actually it wasnt too long ago. I was doing a complete custom install in a 1999 mustang. I was installing 8 12's in the trunk (yes I said 8) LOL It was a box with 2 pair of 4 12's acoustic coupled isobaric mounted. Mirrors everywhere and plexi everywhere. I got a sheet of 1/8 in plex mirror. And was cutting it, and almost was done and the saw bucked up and crack the SOB completely in 1/2. I was so pissed. There went $196 down the drain. Of course it wasn't completely ruined. I got all the pieces cut out of it. But was an awful lot of extra left that I couldnt use with a crack down the middle...

Also theres a joke around work about one of the girls that works there, her name is Lexi, shes always getting those mirrors out of her purse and looking at herself in them. So I gave her one of the old 12 cutouts from the 'stang. Mounted on the wall in front of her desk, and she can look at herself all the time now. We call her plexi lexi Get it?

 

That just lets all the hot air in from around the engine

 

So what ou do is get some weatherstripping, the kind that clips on to an edge, and run it around the lip of the air cleaner housing's base, so that it seals the air cleaner to the hood. then cut a big ol' hole through the hood and put a scoop on it.

should be VERY loud

 

cute Peejay. now im thimking about it....

 

Sound like the old Road Runner hoods...

when i put a K/N filter on my 300ZX, i used the cold air hose from it on the RX7, prefect length and fit, also noticed that the cold air on my FX toyota would fit as well, hit the bone yard and pic u up one for a buck.,im gonna do the plexiglass thing too.

 

Another way to do this would be to drill a hole just off center of the orginal cover, buy a taller filter and install it as you would the Bonez. With this simple mod, everything still looks stock (only you will know there's a 1/2 inch gap seperating the lid and housing) and you'll have more filter area.

 

Ummm...Ok...But so does the stock intake. The only difference is that it takes in the air all around the filter instead of though the little 3" opening on the air cleaner, either way your still taking in hot air from the top of the engine...Just this way its more of it.

That was my thinking when i did it. Everyone knows the cooler the air the better. But I figured more air would be better than hardly anything...
