I like it cold!!!!

i remember seeing a home made intake, where the intake like went underneith the battery or something like that. i like that idea versuse making the intake run all across the enging bay and down behind the bumper. i remember seeing a pic of it. i tried looking for it but could not find it so help me out.....

Why? the pipe will get heated, making the air warmer, and reducing the density, totally defeating the purpose of a CAI

Just go buy a damn Injen and do it right

Ok so running you intake around your motor to the other side of the freaken enging bay (like ft) is better than running a straight pipe a foot down right behind the front bumper. if you try sucking air through a straw that is bending and long versus sucking air through a short straw, which do you think is better. plus the longer piping will get hotter because it traveling around the freaken engine bay.....common how does that sound stupid.......

I think he misunderstood what you said...

I think it would work.

But what about the MAF sensor wiring?

yea thats why i'm asking for a pic... i clearly remember seeing a pic but i forgot what all he said about all the details....

yes it would create more power and probably a louder noise. The shorter intake is much better for gains but requires removing the battery to a new location(which isn't a bad idea anyhow).

Also on heat idea, an Injen intake absorbs some heat, running between the engine and radiator is not the coolest spot in the engine bay, in fact its probably one of the hottest areas. Most gains from an intake aren't really from the "cold air" most people say it draws but rather from the new free-er flowing filter and the free-er flowing intake piping with less bends etc.... almost like putting on a new exhaust system, but this is for the intake. Also tubing is usually thicker all throughout the system with no restrictions like sound resonaters or anything.

a shorter intake is always better but just make sure you block off that area of the engine bay to allow for cool air, and make a cold air intake port.

either that or make it go past the radiator and down through the resonator port.

mike does really have a nice custom intake.

just make sure you have the intake drawing in colder air. whenever anyone creates a topic regarding a cai i always tell them that the purpose of a cold air intake is to intake the cold air!!! if you leave the filter in the engine bay not blocked off by at least a cold air engine bay partitioner your asking for an intake that doesnt work. mike knows a lot about cars and he went with the extension as opposed to the short ram intake blocked off by the engine bay partitioner.

Why doesn't any major Intake manufacturer make this Intake that you guys are talking about it seems much more efficient.

MAFS wiring

Soyo · #10 07-15-2003, 02:21 AM

has anyone ever seen like a dual intake for the 240, like its one pipe at the throttle body but splits so one goes to the left side and the other goes to the right side?

just thought that would increase air flow, if its totally retarded let me know, if its a good idea let me know too

also tell me why it would or wouldn't work

thecollector · #11 07-15-2003, 03:15 AM

I have seen the split intake on other cars but not for the 240. With my sr20 swap, I am limited to the area that I would be able to fit a duel intake system without relocating the MAFS.

I think turboing the the ka24de would leave space to do it, I'm just trying to figure out if it would help or not

thecollector · #13 07-15-2003, 03:31 AM

Its cheaper to buy a sr20 clip than to turbo a ka24de. Besides the sr20 will hold up better than a NA engine that was converted.
With the Ka24de I see it having the space, but too close to the exhaust. Like someone else posted move the battery, good 2g or better wire to the trunk is what I did.

ok we're getting off topic i asked if anyone knew where that particular intake is....i say a pic of it on the board a couple weeks ago and now i can't find it .....the dude said he made it himself.....common guys ....

Soyo · #15 07-15-2003, 07:46 PM

HAHAHA it is NOT cheaper to buy an sr front clip than turbo the ka, you are insane, and the ka is a stronger engine and the sr can NOT hold up better than it, you don't know what your talkin about my friend

and sorry I don't know anything about the custom intake your takling about, I've been on this board more than a few weeks and I read almost every post I'm sure and I never saw it
