my filter is foam, is that a good thing to use. plus its pretty easy to clean it up.

Foam is crap. More restrictive and prone to coming apart and headed down the intake.

You really suck. That's terrible!

Anyhow, yeah I've had headers and underhood temp measurements since November and the hottest its EVER gotten under my hood was 154* F...

Heat is definitely not an issue...

I wasn't talking about protecting the pipe, I was talking about rejecting heat for cold air purposes.

Btw, that is one HOT RL man!!!

I appreciate the compliment. I love her, she's even got two names... "Black Betty" and "Carmen." (The TL is Carla) She was absolutely flawless until I backed over a concrete block after a party the other night. I think she's punishing me for juicing her.

anyone here using the weapon r intake? do they make intake sytems for an auto? what brand/setup i can/should use for an auto?

Mikeo · 05-08-08, 02:31 PM

well i made one from the kregon make your self intake and probly cost less than a weapon r intake. Mine total cost was about 100$$$ 2 90'' about $20, 1 6'' $10, 2 cuplers about $6 each, flex tubing $20, cone $25. If u moved the battery than its totaly different. mine goes around the battery in the stock loc. its good for people that want power but still keep the battery in the stock loc. heres some pics

build it yourself...Weapon R is nothing but a short ram on our applications...

Muffo · 05-08-08, 07:50 PM

I would use anything except flex tube though as it goes against every theory about getting good air flow. Use a fixed bend such as a silicone intercooler elbow

Mikeo · 05-09-08, 03:48 AM

if u want that. Thats an other 40 bucks i think 2 more 90 and a 6'' would do but thats an other 50 bucks tops. i would do it but i had the flex tubing already so i uesd it and it truned out nice

Muffo · 05-09-08, 06:31 AM

It looks really cool. the crinckels are quiet restrictive tho

Mikeo · 05-09-08, 10:09 AM

than why would they sell them if its not good

Exclusive_6 · 05-09-08, 02:18 PM

but whats the difference with a intake kit for a manual and one for an auto? what should i look for? everyone else seems to have kits for a manual, sorry guys im not mechanically minded although im a real whiz in the kitchen

dasficktauf · 05-09-08, 02:27 PM

i didn't read all 6 pages. the the test i'd like to see. is air temp at the throttle body with CAI vs. SR. vs. stock.

also the CFM's at the throttle body for each of these.

*sam o nela* · 05-09-08, 03:13 PM

^ LOL Yeah I thought about that too...unfortunately, you saw the "equipment" I was working with....two probe thermostats from Wal*Mart that were on sale 2/$5

Mikeo · 05-09-08, 03:15 PM

well mine is so easy its like cooking a pizza. just un bolt the stock crap and take off the fender well piece to access to the big black thing that needs to go for the cone to go. than run the piping into the hole and tighten the clapon the filter on the flex tubing or intake tubes

yeah that will make cfms somewhat hard to tell. but you're a clever guy. i bet you can get TB temps.

however i have a question where is the MAF on the G1 legend? after you tell me i'll explain why. haha

*sam o nela* · 05-09-08, 03:51 PM

Sorry doggie....no MAF on these cars...just as well if you ask me....those little sensors are expen$ive!!

dasficktauf · 05-09-08, 04:16 PM

no MAF? thats crazy talk. ahhaa

so how does the pgm-fi know how much air its getting in order to balance A/F accordingly?
