Air Intake

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

Yep, 10 degrees. But my air box was missing the rubber boot thing that goes to the headlight shield, so it was sucking in hot air anyway.

oh okay, but what did you do to measure the temp difference?

Actually its just the sideways, and sits on the abs thing. Sorry i dont have a pic of the actual tubing in there. If you need i can go out and get a pic

no trip dude, i can imagine how it works

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

okay. so it has a bend up and then down into the abs area?

[Balleristic31]

Oh i see what your saying. i kinda did that w/ mine. i took a peice of exhaust tubing which had a bend in it and used that to place the filter on top of the abs module. Ill post a pic of it in a sec.

Edit: here it is

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

i ment only because i want something closer to the grills and farther from the engine and with a cone filter the size and shape dosent allow that

[Balleristic31]

I'm sure u could find one cheap used like I did

i was thinking about using this zip tied over a ram pipe/and closed box

10 degrees less than stock?


i was thinking about itg, but its expensive

I got mine for 50 bucks :D

I use to use my Kamotor CAI.. i put my stock air box in. cuz..
1)no carb sticker
2)not really much of a difference in speed
3)exhaust is already loud.. dont really need it louder..

But I loved it when I had my head beam out & i auto x'ed with 19lb injectors

I ran a giant cone filter with a good heatshield for awhile. Didn't notice a performance gain, but it sounded good and dropped my intake temps by a little more than 10 degrees on average. I'm running megasquirt, though, so I didn't have use for the AFM.

I'm running a fairly sized itg foam filter. W/ no heat shield, I am losing power. But hopefully when I build the full box for it, I will get back to at least stock performance.

My car sounds boss though lol. ;)

Be careful with the K&N's. The PO on my car was running one and did a really shoddy job when he went to "re-oil" the air filter, aka just dump a crap ton of oil on the element. This caused the AFM (barn door) to become damaged and I had to replace it.

guess he didn't follow direction. after oiling the filter i put a towel under it and let the extra oil drain out.
