Hey, I just bought a 87 RX-7 Turbo and I was told the first thing I need to do is to buy a new intake system. First to mind was a K&N system, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper system tha works just as good. Basically I'm looking for the best bang for the buck kinda deal here. Also, where I can buy this from. Thanks!

I would suggest a custom 3 inch pipe to go from the air flow meter to the turbo then a simple cone filter attached to the air flow meter... look here:

Now I was reading somewhere that you needed an adaptor plate on the S4 becasue the inlet to the AFM is not round like the S5's. If this is true, then that kit for $12 is not to shabby. Looks like the one that came on my T2.
Like they said, an "intake" is the same around the world, it will NOT improve flow over another with the same basic design. Due to the simple fact that the AFM will disrupt the air flow as it is. Get one of these if you want, or some other cheap model, and do the 3" TID mod (USE THE SEARCH KEY FOR "TID") The TID is where the flow is made up, not before the AFM.
