You can make your own, or Weapon R sells an intake, it's not cold air though, or, PMR sells one. You can get it on www.corksport.com
Check the other intake thread

SOHC only

im sure they can be modified easily, a CAI has no effect whether it is SOHC or DOHC. It would just be a matter of how big the throttle body is and where the cone would be located

are you saying that they can be modified for V6 use? cause I don't think that would be smart!

It COULD be done, but no, I just said that it could be modified to work on the SOHC 4 cyl, or the DOHC 4 cyl. If you could modify it for the V6, then go ahead, but you would be better off just getting the Integra Cold Air kit and modifying that, much easier.
But even so, why wouldn't it be smart?

Weapon R and HKS make intakes for the V-6

because you would have to completely rebend the intake piping, and chances are, the width of the intake is not the best size for the V6.
I think the higher you go in liters, the bigger the intake...not sure though...but it makes sense that it would.

not really... 1000hp Supras use the same intake type... its just they often use Forced Induction to cram more air into the pipe. Because unless you make your throttle body bigger, there is no use having a bigger Intake. The air can only go though it as fast as the smallest part of the intake system.

I'll make you one for 100 bucks if you want, it'll take a little while though, due to me not having the parts in stock.

That is the most pointless intake they make for our engine. Our stock intake system gets cooler air to the engine than that one does.

yea dude... http://www.psituning.ca and look under the engine section of MX-3. The guy is from the Ottawa area, really good service and IMHO it is the best intake for the MX3.

im buying a 94 mx3 and i read that the motor switched to a DOHC 4cyl. is that true?

you're gonna have to be a bit more clear there...
in 1994 the MX3 came with only the DOHC 4 cylinder motor, so maybe you mean he swapped it for a new one?

this was on customerguide.com
"1994 Mazda MX-3: For 1994, the MX-3 had dual airbags, abandoning the old motorized shoulder-belt arrangement. Base-model engines switched to a dual-overhead-cam configuration and gained 17 horsepower, now rated at 105 rather than 88. Antilock braking could now be installed on base models, with either transmission"
and thats why i ask
