intake upgrade

[wednesdayslatest]

okay so seeing that the intake hose is 75 and a new sensor is 150 what performance intake would work for my 1.6L base ? because if i dont plug in a mass airflow the car wont run soo....any ideas?

Buy a generic intake kit for a car that has roughly the same intake configuration, I think some of the mid 90's acura integri are a popular choice for us. You may also need the vaf adapter plate (basically an ally sheet with the holes in it and a bit of 2.5" pipe welded to it)

You can also post a WTB, I've sold in the past an intake pipe for $20 shipped, and a VAF for not much more.

you mean the adapter to put the cyclone head on the mass airflow sensor? i put that but i wanted to see if i could find a good setup i dont wanna make shift just get a nice brand name thatll just connect or connect with minor modifications and get more power from it

unless you go to stand alone engine management, you'll need to keep your VAF so you'll need the adapter that ryan suggested (sounds like you have one)
BTW it's called an air filter, not a cyclone head

the air filter and adapter looks like this


there's no company that makes a CAI or anything for us anymore, well PRM racing makes intakes to but it still uses the crappy stock accordion tube and costs $250.
Just take ryan's advice and get the integra CAI which goes for like $50 or find someone who's selling their intake

yes i already put that adapter. but an integra CAI? does that plug into my mass airflow? i DO have a CAI i believe for a 94 camry. dont know if itll fit but reguardless i need something so i can plug the mass airflow....

its gonna cost me 110 120 for another rubber hose intake arm so if its gonna cost that much i deff need an upgrade. anyone know anyone selling?

i got a 1.6L base mx3 i wanna get a CAI for it. aparently the integra ones work.
anyone got or can find me a CAI thatll work for my car? i need to be able to plug a mass airflow on it i guess because if i dont plug it the car wont turn on obv you should all know that one right? lol

you are making this harder than it needs to be. This is the most basic of mods.. don't really expect any performance.

if you were to mention that you have a 92-93 SOHC, this could have been over and done with a long time ago. Get the adaptor, some silicone couplers and a cheap ebay integra pipe.

[Ryan]

It's not rocket science

You need to keep the VAF in the airflow, so make it fit with the adapter from the other thread.

i get what your saying but its sputters and black smoke ill change the pipe but i have a feeling its not going to stop the problem. i got black smoke and a sputter but not all the time and the idle dies at times. ill get the pipe and change it if not i was just trying to see any way i could avoid paying 150 for another mass airflow sensor

so i should just get that instead of paying the 75 bucks huh?

When I was running my DOHC B6 I made my own intake with some exhaust pipe I had bent at a local exhaust shop. By a couple steel fittings you can cut up and weld on to the tube for the vacuum lines and you are pretty much done. Only other thing you'll need is a few couplers to hold everything together. Or like others have mentioned buy one from another car that is similar and make it fit. I recently bought an ebay intake ($35) for a V6 Ford Probe that I modded to fit my recent KL-DE swap. Either way it's not a hard thing to do. Just takes some time and energy.

That link is total garbage. There are no nipples or anything to connect your lines to. That product is useless

[Evo_Spec]

i'll make it easy for you, this is basically what you want, you can get other types too.

Just search 92 integra cold air intake

all you have to do is make a cut in the middle somewhere and 2 couplers to attach your VAF. done.

thanks for pointing out something i realized not too long ago i was looking at this pipe i got but its not a good fit ill be taking a look at it tomorrow to see how the pipe i need to be bent. id rather just buy the pipe thats pre bent for my car if i have to cut the holes i dont car but as long as the shape is good

[wednesdayslatest]

yeah i understand all that but you sure that it will fit my car?



it really doesnt have much room it looks like that one is too long that you showed me. and its not us so its expensive

ill search but if anyone got any link onone thatll fit link it ill check it out

im gonna search integra cold air intakes the end parts if it comes with it or not either way its not that big of a deal the most important part is i get a pipe thats going to fit ill cut the holes i got a whole garage of tools everything i can use so im all set on that end
