cold Air intake eclipse 00

i have a eclipse 00 and wondering what kind of cold air intake do i need
how easy is it to install thanks

What engine...V6 or I4?

Actually, that doesnt matter. Stick with the major brands, like AEM or Injen. Installing an intake is probably one of the easiest things to do on earth.

ive heard about the rubber connectors rotting with the AEM intakes. i havent heard ne complaints with the Injen. i think the new Injen only come as polished, so if u want some color...u might want to check into that

Yeah, he is right about the AEM thing. I forgot about that.

I had an Injen RD for a long time, and I loved it. But, many will argue that it's all "just pipes", which is probably true. You will get the same power from everythign I think.

But yeah, AEM is no bueno.

So the AEM's are junk, thats what I wanted to get. Plus, can you get the injen with a Bypass valve. I dont want to suck in the water, and blow my head gasket. Haha! Not trying to be a dick i just thought that was funny. but seriously is there a bypass for the Injen?

are there instructions to install a cold air intake for eclipse 00 4clinder

You can use the AEM bypass on an Injen I believe.

The intake should come with instructions. If not, check the garage forum of www.eclipseforums.org/forum

Does any one have an instructions for installing a cold air intake i mean what skill is required

if this old air intake installs around the engine do you need a new hood or do you just put it in around the engine ? thanks

It replaces the stock airbox. No, you dont ned a new hood.

Where is the stock Air Box

Where is the stock Air Box

*sigh*....Its the black square box to the front right of the engine bay.

if u dont know where the stock air box is, then u probably havent even popped your hood open. in that event, i would suggest that you pay somebody to do it before you destroy your engine

Its very hard to damage your engine with just an intake install, but, I would seriously do some reasearch and try and learn a little about cars before you start modifying it. You obviously dont know much at this point. But, that is what we are all here for. If you need any more help, just post it up.

Whats some brand names for cold air intake how about some of them that i have seen on ebay any suggestions?

Any one Should be able to install a cold air intake i have seen some picture for the short ram and cold air intake and they basical show an extension pipe from the air box with an air filter am i right ?

No...all intakes REPLACE the airbox and all stock plastic ducting.

If you can take off your wheel and know where your airbox and piping are located and can follow picture installation instructions than you can do it yourself. On the other hand, as was previously stated, you should gain knowledge before hp. Learn about your car before you start to mod...this board is a great place.
Revolution..to answer your other question, the ones on ebay are fine. IMHO, all intakes are the same, a pipe and a filter. Granted some filters are better at filtration, then others, I personally would get the pipes on ebay and throw on a K&N cone filter if you are the type to be extra careful and worried about filtration. When you pay for a brand name, you essentially get...the brand name. Some of them have gone through the trouble of making sure their intakes are carb legal. When you buy a name, you get the same intake, a (insert brandname here) sticker, and a Carb sticker. Granted some may be concerned about their carb legality. I have never heard of anyone getting a ticket for not being carb legal. There is no way a cop would care about his unless in an extreme instance he pulled you over street racing and you were a dick to him or he's a dick in general and searches every inch of your car to write up every ticket possible.
2ndly, AEM is not junk. Any rubber in your engine bay can rot...if not taken care of. Any car can rust. you don't blame Mitsu, you blame the salt and the owner who didn't wash it off.

Lastly, the bypass valve is a good idea, in theory, but in real life, I don't think it's necessary, unless you drive through 6inch deep puddles/flash floods alot. It's just a 30 bucks you could put into something else.

I am not trying to argue, I just think the opposing viewpoint is a valid one as well.

I have never heard of anyone getting a ticket for not being carb legal.

You must not live in California. Cars must pass emissions. If there is a non-carb legal part in your car, you get a fine.

This is true, but the rubber elbow that AEM uses for the link to the throttle body is notorious for dry rotting. Do a seach on http://www.eclipseforums.org and you will see.

True, I didn't take Cali spec into consideration. I know California is tough on emissions, but I guess I never really thought about it.
Do they physically check your intake though? I never realized an ebay intake make you fail emissions. Here we just have to worry about cats/precats being gutted or running too rich. I also always assumed emissions was just checking what gets emitted from the tailpipes, not looking over your intake and such? I just assumed, they checked your CO2 levels and such, not inspected your parts. That's pretty crazy.

Yeah, from what i have learned, any aftermarket part on your car (affecting the performance and emissions of the car that is) has to have a CARB number, or you get a violation. Gay isnt it?
