I must not be a good web surfer cuz I look around for this type of stuff and dont find it

so now its your turn ... who can direct me ?

 

They dont make one. You have to make one yourself. Its not difficult.

 

really ^ ight cool so I can stop looking in magazines like a skitzo .. lol


so basically I have to just find what fits

 

you can do 1 of 3 things, buy one off of ebay, which never get good reviews or buy the ones made for i believe for a civic (i think you can get them at pep boys- apparently they bolt straight up). but neither of them suck in cold air because they just sit in the engine compartment with no wall to keep hot engine air from getting in.

or as stated above, you can make your own, which isnt really advised, but i did anyway. the ONLY advantage to making your own, is that you can make it mount in the fenderwell unlike any other cai for the 4banger. youd need a length of 3" pvc piping, 2 90 degree fittings, and two 3" to 2" fittings, and a cone filter that can clamp onto a pipe (not like the one from the 5.0's that just sit in a box without the extra rubber piece to clamp onto anything). and then you need a 2" rubber fitting for the throttle body. and you just hook it up like this:

apparently the disencharger (sp?) is made out of plastic or some sort of PVC, and it works good, so i dont see why this wouldnt. i just doesnt exactly look too great... i only did it because 1 i had already removed my air silencer, and two i somehow had a crack in my air box, so i figured id just do this.

 

looks good ta me ... the engine could use some touch up though . lol



but yea thanx . YOU just helped me out a gREAT deal man , thanx


I'll be takin a trip ta pep boys soon

 

how is it mounted into the wall ??

 

theres already a hole there, and it was such a tight fit because of the shape of the pipe from the TB, that i didnt have to support it, its just wedged in the engine compartment really well. and the air filter helps support it on the other side of the engine bay.

 

ok , sounds good


what did you notice after the mod ? any difference in Hp , sounds ... ect.

 

What about this

I know its not for our year but its a fender mount, replace the crappy air filter with a k&n and get a diffrent size fitting for the throttle body. i belive you said a 2"..you think that would work? just curious

 

i doubt that will fit, just because the TB probably sits in a slightly different spot (left/right) than ours does. and ontop of that, the factory holes in the side of the engine bay wall are more than likely located in slightly different spots. theres so much stuff that could be different about them. and ontop of that, you dont know if its gonna clear everything in the engine bay.

nothing, that i can feel, but its probably doing something.
