02 Lancer OZ intake??
I've been contemplating on buying a K&N intake for my OZ but I've been hearing a lot of junk lately saying I won't gain much more than I would from the stock intake. Just wanted to see if anyone else has tried and if a new intake would be a good/bad idea.

For all the HP gains you will honestly get, I find it pointless to pay that much money on a name brand intake. You're just as good to get one off of Ebay for 70 bucks. I personally had more success with a cold air over a short ram. There was originally a AEM SRI on my car when I purchased it. All it did was suck it hot air from the exhaust manifold. I swapped out for a Ebay CAI and got more MPG, didn't really notice any power though. On NA mods for our car, you're better off saving money where you can and put that money towards a turbo kit. Before I put a turbo on mine, I had pretty much every bolt on you could think of and I couldn't even really feel a difference from how it felt stock, and that cost me around $3k

Don't do it, I've bought the same Intake for an 04 Lancer gained nothing at all I think I may have lost some HP save your money for the real mods like a turbo. There's an episode on Mighty Car mods they took a Nissan Skyline and put it on the dyno 3 times one with the stock intake another time with a SRI intake and then again with a CAI the car lost 3 HP with the SRI intake and 1 HP with the CAI intake.. So basically it's some fancy eye candy under the hood that could cost you I say buy a turbo from someone who upgraded their evo's turbo and build your own setup..

Yea Ebay isn't the way to go for intakes. I might save up some money and buy the piggyback ecu or just do a 64 swap. Then I'll think about turbos and intakes lol

What do you mean by a 64 swap? the 4g94 is the 2.0l engine u currently have, the 4g69 is the ralliart 2.4l and the 4g63 is the evo engine, if you meant 63 i recommend you save up and buy an evo at some point or just turbo ur 4g94...i got around 220 hp at 10 psi with the stock 4g94 engine...and some members go up to 15 psi! And the total cost is +- 2500 for a complete turbo setup. Its pretty much the cheapest way to get the most power for ur money on that car.
