I was thnking of getting the Blitz sus power intake for my 93' r-1. From what I know this intake is a good choice. Does anyone have a better suggestion for me?

also remember, when you spend big money on these intake kits, you need to pre-plan on future mods. are you going to replace the intercooler or not? single turbo, maybe too far to tell, but who knows. many of these kits are $$$$ and then they do not fit with other mods....check out the modifying of the stock box with some k&n filters until you decide...

Good info.



I think if you plan on staying with the twins, and a stock mount intercooler, an air box is the way to go.



If you plan on going with a front mount intercooler, the air boxes wont work (actually there are 2 that will work, but they are $$$)



If you wanna go single... Just modify the box for now... You'll lose all that **** later anyway.





Me personally, I'd get a nice Radiator, an AST, a downpipe, a hose job, and a full lube change before anything..

Exactly.Just do a cheaper solution till you know what you want to do to the car before you spend big $$$ on stuff that you'll need to replace later. Simple K&N's do give good gains for the money anyways.

Any k&n will do the job.

I would just try to get two cone filters and fit them on the tubes.

It's cheap and is just as good as any other.
