NEW SOHC INTAKE!!

[atlantamx3]

Hey Everyone,<p> I know a few of you guys bought the "BOMZ Racing" intake made for the Protege and fit it to your MX.<p> Well, i did to, but I have the MAF sensor and I didnt like the way that Tristan or "Mazdasport" mounted his.<p> Anyway, I got mine off of ebay, the same brand, but I mounted it a bit different and I Love it.<p> I DID notice a bit of a difference on the "Seat of the pant" dyno, but really only in the upper RPMS.<p>Here are the pics:<p>http://www.geocities.com/atlantamx3/perry/intake<p>I will upload more later!<p>Also- this was not a direct bol on-- We had to cut one of the pipes to get it to fit-- but it look F-ing awesome.<p>

[Mnemonic]

hah and you said it wouldnt work!

[mazdasport]

Thanks for the props bro -- just kiddin. I like the way that you have yours set up better too.. Did you have to cut some of the piping, or did you just put it straight in there?

[atlantamx3]

Hey bro-- <p> I hope you know I meant nothing bad about yours-- but this was the style I was wanting. ( I couldn't do mine like yours anyway, I have an Automatic w/ no room for the filter!<p>yeah, We had to move the Coolant Overflow tank to that hole between the fender and the front bumper for this thing to fit!<p> Also we cut the long (straight) end of the pipe with the nipple on it. <p>And dont even ask how we got the Air Bypass tube to fit.... I still need to get that part that you are using. Brian made some adapter after we ripped up a PCV valve! It works for now, but I would like to replace it ASAP with the right part.

[mazdasport]

I know man -- I was kidding... yeah I used a PCV elbow, it works well but I had rto bore the hole out a little bit. Which kit did you buy -- is it the same one as I got just a different finish?

[atlantamx3]

Yup, <p> Same kit-- this is the polished version though...<p>NICE AND SHINY!! <p>
(actually its just something else to get dirty... LOL)

[ltjrunner]

nice.....keepin the maf away from the distrib is a good idea. yeah,i have mine set up the same way(bought pipe of a friend andits polished alumm) and im gonna re do it so i can pus the maf back a little to put the coolant res back to its orig location...and runa down pipe. but great work man.

Hey AtlantaMX is this the one u got?<p>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33659&item=2421327635<p>for the 1.8L? Im thinking of buying the same one , will it work with the 1.6?

[atlantamx3]

Nope that is NOT the same on I have...<p> That one has an ugly 90 degree bend! Eww!<p>I got the one for the new 2.0 liter Protege.

[ltjrunner]

that 90 isnt a bend...thats a hack job. ive seen and have a 90 degree manderal bent pipe....and it looks a lot better than that.
