OK I had the K&N intake on my vert... what do you guys suggest for the 10th AE.

UniqueTII 07-23-2002 03:06 PM

Adapter plate and cone filter.

phinsup 07-23-2002 03:07 PM

Yea that's what I had on the vert, K&N adapter deal what not...

UniqueTII 07-23-2002 03:19 PM

It's the best way to go, especially for the price. RD and I are working on a cold air setup, but we're kind of stalled right now, because I am broke. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

phinsup 07-23-2002 03:23 PM

Yea I want to do a coldair setup of some sort, what are you figuring it will cost you to make? Wish I still had access to a machine shop for free :(

UniqueTII 07-23-2002 03:37 PM

It depends on the setup, I guess. We are probably going to build something fiberglass and put it either in the stock location or down where the windshield washer fluid resevoir is. I think for right now I am just going to move the filter down where the resevoir was and use PVC to plumb it, with flexible drain pipe to get the air. Eventually, I'd like all metal piping, but that'll have to wait.

DCmina 07-23-2002 03:52 PM

electric supercharger -_-

UniqueTII 07-23-2002 04:05 PM

I already have forced induction, but thanks for the suggestion.

vosko 07-23-2002 04:06 PM

i'm not a big fan of cold air intakes

UniqueTII 07-23-2002 04:08 PM

I heard...why not?

Rotaryman88 07-23-2002 04:18 PM

For T2s, the best bet is a cone filter w/ 3" TID...will gain ya about 2psi w/ free flowing exhaust(or so I've heard). I'm probably gonna run my filter in front of the radiator if I have room after the FMIC is installed.

for something that you gain so little hp why bother making custom piping and spending $$$$. get a $20 cone filter and be done and have time and $$$ to concentrate on more important things. people spend like $500+ for intakes for FD's!!!!!!!!!!! its insane. rather than buy a $500 intake you can get a freaking FMIC for $999 !!!! just seems very stupid to me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png the TID gives you more boost and eliminates vacuum leaks that is very sound thing to do

******* a- right, why bother I say. I guess if you molest the car enough, you might gain 15 horsepower or so, then if you remove everything from the car that makes it drive nicely, makes it confortable inside, you might lose about 100 pounds, after all that the car will fly for sure! I say best mods for the money: change gear ratios, going to a 4.30 ratio will FEEL like you added 50 horsepower or so, or like Vosco said- a FMIC. And on a TII- exaust.

Keep your 3.9. You'll have a higher top speed. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

phinsup 07-24-2002 08:36 AM

$209.00 is a little much for an intake, I don't think you will get $209 worth of performance.

vosko 07-24-2002 09:07 AM

you can make your own TID for like $50

UniqueTII 07-24-2002 11:02 AM

I have a cone filter, exhaust, blah blah blah. I just don't like the fact that the bottom of my cone filter gets really hot.

vosko 07-24-2002 12:14 PM

your cone filter gets hot ? wait you have the hks one. maybe try the k&n ?

UniqueTII 07-24-2002 12:17 PM

I scrapped the HKS one and put a regular cone filter on there. Only the bottom of it gets hot, so I might just make some sort of heat shield, but I'd still like to get some fresh air into there.

phinsup 07-24-2002 12:22 PM

Get a front mount intercooler, then make an airbox up where the stock intercooler is. LOL

sidewinderx7 07-24-2002 12:27 PM

I thought about doing that a few times.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Just cant figure out what to do about if it rains real bad.. :-p

UniqueTII 07-24-2002 12:41 PM

That wouldn't pull in much air...not nearly as much as something in the front opening or where the brake ducts are.

Rotarydragon 07-24-2002 04:34 PM

Not real sure what it's going to cost as of yet, not a heck of a lot really.



It's going to be jerry rigged to all heck but if it works we will do a better job on the next one.



Wish I had a welder. AH well.

phinsup 07-24-2002 04:37 PM

**** man you want a turbo and a welder... you really are asking too much.

Rotarydragon 07-24-2002 04:49 PM

Heheheh. Welder is a heck of a lot cheaper. Hey maybe I could build my own turbo!



Get away from me with those funny jackets with the long sleeves! I'm FINE

I was thinking about bringing my welder with me to CA, but I may wind up shipping it if I REALLY need it.

That looks good. Did you make it yourself?

sleeperRX7 07-24-2002 10:31 PM

nah its for a 92-95 honda civic/del sol/integra, i just hacked about 4 inches off the end of it so it would fit and use a 3 inch wide piece of the old intake(the smooth part inside not the rippled part) and bolted it on, i think its a lot nicer than the stock pipe,i know it helps too, and there isnt any nasty honda canny noise some people dont like (i like the canny noise though) but it works.later









its called the alan parsens project......mu ha ha ha ha ha haha

RotorBalls 07-24-2002 11:38 PM

interesting set up...I just have an HKS super mega flow intake set up...works fine for me
