Unhappy

ive been looking online and all i can find intake wise for a n/a rx-7 is a cone filter? do they make intakes like say for a honda ,like the intake pipe and then the filter on the end of it that would fit a rx-7,ive found ugrades like the intake port at the front of the motor?can i just get rid of the air box,buy a custom intake pipe and then put the filter on the end of it? im kinda lost im still learning more and more evryday about the rx-7 its sweet

You could always make a pip to do what you want.

We don't have performance intakes like those shiny lil APC or AEM ones, lol...because the Rx7 has a MAF right before the intake filter..if you want a good intake setup...you can go buy a cone filter...and install that..then build up a cold air box around the filter...this is a typical setup for most NA sevens. There are some other custom routes you can take, but they get a little more complex and sometimes involve cutting

technically you can get the aluminum piping, but it will still have to be connected to the airflow meter, and i doubt you will gain much performance outta that compared to just slappin the K&N...they would have made one already if it did... if you do that, u will prolly get that nasty canny sound from the intake like the hondas do....i dunnoo bout everyone else, but i just think that is funny how guys with just intake think they are speedracer cause of that intake sound...lol



then again, they prolly hate my dirtbike sounding exhaust..lol

Yeah, there's not much room for making a pipe with a different shape. The stock pipe is about as straight of a shot that you can get from the AFM to the TB.

im just really used to honda's, there all my friends drive,guess im the black sheep of them now,my old laser had the maf inside the intake before the TB and it was a bitch to find a good intake,rotorman88, has anyone made there own cold air box? im pretty handy at making my own parts,my dad has every tool imaginable in his shop,anyone have any ideas?thanksforthe help, say if i made a pipe from the air box to the throttlebody,you dont think i would gain any extra ponies? it would look better than the plastic/rubber hose that goes rfom the airbox to the throttle body,possibly better airflow?i dunno i hardly know jack **** about rotary's,i like the honda intake sound,lol just me i guess





waste ricers,all ricers for that matter

well it would look nicer that that black nasty rubber piece. I believe you the hardest thing would be to make the piece that bolts to the throttle body, cause its an odd shape, wait its not odd its shaped like a rotor, and the a piece thall fit the AFM.

as far as the cold air box go here.

I believe that you could use the flange from a TII throttle body cap to bolt onto the NA TB.

I have seen one before, i can't remember the name, someone @ another site posted it and showed everyone, everyone was shocked too. Sounds like a big waste of $$$ though, just to look nice, rhymes with rice.
