Does any one know who or where, has the polished aluminum intakes, that go from the afm to the efi?
|
I am pretty sure nobody makes an aluminum pipe from the AFM to the TB but you can just buy one for another car and fab it to fit..... some guy on here was going to have them custom made but I don't know what happened to that.
|
what's the best way to attach the new Al pipe to the 2 ends? silicone connectors?
|
Yeah, ultimately, it would be best to find a silicone coupler/reducer that goes from the alum. pipe (2.5-3" usually) to I guess 4" for the TB.... its hard to find any like that that will fit the unusual shape of our TB's though... Maybe you can fab something that goes from the alum. pipe to the plastic TB inlet adapter that connects to the stock convoluted intake pipe. Does that make sense?? I'm confusing myself now... :bigok:
|
yeah, that makes sense...just cut some of the stock intake tube off, leaving a short piece of the circle-to-triangular piece, then attach the coupling to that...perfect sense
|
Just get some riceboy intake, like AEM, from a civic or something and cut it to make it fit.
|
where are those silicone couplings sold?
|
I couldn't find the couplers anywhere when I was going to try this.... you can just get a $30-40 Honda intake on Ebay like 1Revvin said for the pipe but the couplers it comes with are too small. I was going to use the pipe off my brother's 92 Prelude... the angles and length look like they would be a good fit.

couldnt you use the elbow from a TII? probably not best for flow on an NA though.
|
No, I thought on here at some point in time some had some for sale or was going to make them, does anyone know who that was? Or how to get in touch with them...
really there's nothing wrong with the rubber one i just thought it would look and flow better |
That person is long gone.

For my daily driver I just bought a APC one for a Civic it was $60 and included a aircleaner, the tube (which is twice as long as what is shown here) and the couplers and clamps.
I did have to weld on one nipple for a vacuum hose, but that was cake. It turned out pretty good and gave a noticable increase in power (though it is a little louder too). http://www.daczone.com/Elantra_Intake.JPG My Daily Driver is a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS |
Looks like the intake was made for the car.Nice..
|
i made mine from a short ram intake for a honda and made my own adapter for it, looks good ill post some pics later if anyone cares
|
pixs are always good.

A local shop in town that I deal with alot makes custom cold air intakes for FC's.. very minor installation procedure.
