Looking to put a cold air intake on my ES. NOT A SHORT RAM.

Im hearing that its possible but you have to do some moving around because my transmission is automatic and the tranny is bigger?

Has anyone had luck with putting a Cold air in their automatic or making some mods to fit one?

Id appreciate suggestions and pics if possible. Thanks.

 

Any help guys???

 

i dont think any auto has done cold air only short ram it will take some cutom piping to do it right though and me i move my overflow tank so i could run my upper ic pipe and im auto btw

 

whered you move it to and what did u use? mines kinda there and its in the way.

i moved it by the belts and it rest on the ledge where the fans used to be and i ziped tied it on top and bottom of it for the time being

 

wait im confused...do you have a short ram?

youre saying you had to make adjustments to put in a short ram?

 

no i mean for a cold air u will have to do something custom my k&n short ram fit perfectly'

 

now that i think of it looking at my old pic the battery and fans gonna be in the way if u try cold air

 

so if i have to do more custom piping than my friend is willing do for me...then will i have to do any shifting if i do decide to settle for just a ram?

not looking to do huuuge changes under the hood..

maybe a dumb question but...whats the upper ic pipe?
you have a turbo and everything - as you can see im still a beginner. lol
is the second pic just the short ram you had and the first pic is what you upgraded to (the upper ic pipe i guess)?

 

yea i have gone turbo now and the upper ic pipe is what goes from the intercooler (ic) to the throttle body and for short ram u just got to take out ur stock air box and put it in not really that hard to do

 

thanks. i prefer to work on this CAI concept...but it looks like its gonna be tough.

 

good luck on it if u are sucessful youll be the only auto i know with cold air

 

Just curious, but why does it really matter to you?

I've seen people squeeze a cai in around the trans, so it can be done.

 

Well obviously I want to install one on my car and would prefer it over a short ram.

That's why it 'really matters' to me...

 

Why not take some 3" pvc pipe and make one? just get some straight pieces and some elbows and go to town I think that would be fun and it would work mint for sure
