I plan to do a full x turbo swap. Now I have a question about air intake.
Since I run in cold climates in the winter, I need a big battery. So the question is can I use a Ralliart air intake on an evo x turbo or do I have an intake that is the evo x and move the battery? Here's a link to the intake I was thinking of.

My set up is AEM cold air intake for Ra with adapter from RRE(Road Race Engineering), you need email or call them to order

 

If you're going for the Evo X turbo swap, you should buy the intake for evo x. Just to avoid the worries of looking for the right fitment. You'll be using the evo x turbo inlet elbow pipe anyways.

I'm not too sure about the fitment issue you'll have with the intake you wanted though. I did relocate my battery in the trunk so I didn't have to worry about my intake system fitment issue. Search around. I thought, I saw somebody used a small battery instead and he was able to fit an aftermarket SRI.

 

Ok thanks for the reply. Then I put the battery in the trunk, so I will not have to have any problem with if it fits or not.

 

Yup! It's good weight distribution too.

 

Cbrd makes a special intake made for Ralliarts with evo x turbos who didn't want to relocate. That's the path I took.

 

I did the same. It's been running fine. Tight fit though.

 

I'm using a Perrin intake tube I cut down two inches at the compressor side. This along with the velocity stack maf adapter by CBRD with I think 4 inch K&N filter. It is also a tight fit and flush with the ecu harness and battery. It doesn't move at all. Cost me $120 for the setup. I might redo it when I feel like upgrading my intercooler and intake together.

 

I don't think that would work.
You would need the MAF adapter and/or a smaller filter.
In addition, you probably need to cut pipe shorter right wear that vacuum pipe is.

Where the battery is now on the RA, is where the evo x intake would be.

 

Just mount batter in back much better option.

 

I bought a small battery and it did fine in the winter. We had some very cold winters in Kansas too. Battery has been in for 2 years and doesn't give me any trouble...best battery i've ever had.

 

I also used a small battery and the ets evo x intake kit, I had a aluminum battery tray made for the battery
