Hello all,

I purchased an Intake and Medium IC from M2 and wondered about the installation as I do not see any flanges to bolt up. I would appreciate any advice as to how you lock then down or if you need to. This is my second twin turbo RX7 but didn't modify the first and if anyone has done these installations, I would appreciate any advice you have.

Thanks in advance,
André

The M2 intake and IC don't have flanges to bolt on to. The air box should have 1 or 2 bolt holes in the bottom piece that holds it to the cars frame. The IC is pretty much held in place by the tension of the pipes and hose connections, although I did cut a small hard and thick, about 3/8th on an inch, rubber piece and secured it in place on the frame cross member so that the IC could rest on it and stay lined up with the ducting. After a drive my IC would drop to its normal place which was about 1/4 of an inch lower than the top of my IC duct. With the ribber in place, it stays lined up almost perfectly, enough so that I don't worry about it any more.

just a word of warning on the intake, a lot of people i know who have this unit (including me) have had problems with the air filter falling off of the clamps inside the air box, and since it's covered you don't know when it comes off. Be sure to periodically check the airbox to see if the filters are on all right.
