Does anyone recognize this air intake?

 

Blitz.

 

Yep, Blitz. You don't see them too often. I think they flowed decently and construction quality was good. IIRC stainless media...not sure how good they filtered. But their design and dimensions didn't lend them to fit easily with aftermarket intercoolers, and they were unshielded from the hot under-hood heat. I believe they also made a version that was one bigger single cone.

 

Thank you both very much. I am seriously considering a new intercooler, this one is obviously stock, so I’m guessing I’ll need to replace the Blitz.

 

FWIW pretty sure they WILL fit with a Blitz intercooler. Probably sold as a package or kit at one point. Not sure about all the others. Over the years though most have gravitated toward intakes that are boxed or shielded and source ambient air.

 

The beauty of the BLITZ SMIC is how stealthy it is. Crossover duct, battery, AST, and intake can all be stock and intact, but the Blitz will still fit fine. Paint it black like I did and it becomes basically invisible.

Like Sgt said. If you can find a Blitz intercooler, that intake will fit.

 

Well... since I already have that intake, perhaps I should just get the blitz IC as well. I like the stealth aspect, but I assume it's a good performer? You happy with it, Natey?

 

Definitely a step up from stock. The only problem with 'em is how hard they are to find in decent condition. If you see one around, I'd jump on it!
Here's a thread with some pics of most of the popular stock-mounts. The Blitz isn't the only one that'll work with your intake

Truly amazing how much help you guys have been already. What a great community!
Sounds like Blitz doesn't make this anymore, is that right? Pity...

 

Theres one on eBay for 800 bucks.... lol

I think this is the one you need but dont take my word for it.

Yes... seems like a smic would be great for me.
i have the intake, blueprinted turbos (Pettit), a 3” down pipe, and an older Haltech computer, and a Greddy boost controller. I think a cat back, upgraded IC, and a new Haltech should put me in a nice place. It’s over 25 years old so it’s exempt from emissions here in WA, so a mid pipe could be done as well, though I don’t really want it TOO loud. I’m also worried that the much greater flow might require other upgrades (wastegate?)

Maybe I should move this to a build questions thread. Sorry, brand new here.

 

Be careful with the midpipe. The wastegate is small and with too little backpressure boost creep can be an issue. Search in the 3rd Gen. tech for more info, but essentially there are only two ways to avoid creep with the twins, keep some backpressure or port the wastegate. The former can be done with a hi-flow cat or I think, a resonated pipe (five bolts), the latter requires removal of the turbos (PITA).
Retaining a cat will also avoid stink and in the opinion of some, make it sound better/quieter.

 

Sounds like high flow cat would suit me best. Thank you!
