stupid noob question
Before hand i want to apologize and say that im new to working on any type of car, what i know is based off what i read from this forum so thanks in advance, Well here is my stupid question:blush:. So i decided on replacing my air filter with one of the cone shaped ones i've heard it gives a small boost and better gas mileage, but when mentioned to someone about it they told me that i need to get something for the air flow meter in order to make it function properly so my question is, Do i need something for a the air flow meter and if so whats it called? all help would be greatly appreciated! thanks :)

FD's do not use MAF's, they use a MAP based system. In other words, don't worry about it.
|
i probably should have stated i have an FC sorry
|
so i take it i do need a part for the MAF?
|
Sorry, my bad for not looking at your profile. You'll need some kind of adapter for the MAF. You can probably either make one or buy one off eBay. RX7.com sells a fancy one:

i am sorry if i wake up this thread but i kinda do need help with this, as you can see on my profile i have 1984 gsl se 13b its full stock and im looking into changing the intake but its a huge square with some tray holding it so i kinda cant se a way of just putting a cone filter in it do i need what this tread says or is it a special filter that i need for my car? thx in advanced

no you need an adapter that bolts onto the afm and had a round 3 in ring that the filter goes on.

Don't just stick a cone filter on there. If you do, you will suck in hot engine bay air and probably gain little to no power, or even suffer a loss. If you are going to go to a cone filter, you need to build a proper cold air box around it.

If you do go with a cone filter, make a cold air box around it. Otherwise stick with the stock Mazda airbox which already has a cold air intake.

The 2nd gen has a stock cold air intake as well.
Just search the 2nd gen forum for examples of some fabricated CAIs. |
dude just LOOK at your intake lol.....it is sucking air from the very front of the car. it's not going to get any colder than that. cone filters are a total scam. they also cost a leg for no reason and filter like junk and let a lot of crap into your engine.
it's even funnier when they come with a METAL pipe, as if metal is a good insulator... just use some common sense with these things, don't believe everything the ad says. |
hey they do help a little, and they also sound a lot better, specially with stock exhaust lol
|
you can make the same noise by cutting/grinding the baffling out of your OEM intake
