I have an 02 ES Automatic.....


One day I noticed after taking my car into a mechanic (long story forget that part) I was missing the plastic air duct piece that conects to the air filter box and goes down to the front of the car to get 'cooler' air. The dealership wants $70+tax for that plastic piece, screw that....

Basically right now I am sucking in Hot Air....

Whats an aftermarket air intake I can buy and put into my car for similar or close price range? And if someone has the plastic air duct piece I wouldn't mind putting it stock for cheap... let me know, I want to stop sucking in hot air.. Help!!

 

For that price, go Ebay. I'd recommend you spend a little more and get an SRI from RRM or RMR

 

SRI.... Injen, RRM, RMR, AEM, They are all pretty much the same right? Well which one looks the nicest then ???

 

i'll sell you my intake for $90 shipped?

 

go wtih the RRM or RMR one, but try www.racinglab.com they have some nice stuff for our car... and they dont use the stock tubing which is a little nicer i thinnk.

 

Dem, which do you have and is it used? Pics?

 

1) yes it is used...

2) It is the Weapon R Dragon Intake ... however ... I swapped the filter to a K&N filter, however I have both the Dragon and K&N filter to come with the intake

 

heres a pic w/ the dragon intake......i dont have one w/ the K&N but just picture a K&N filter instead heh

 

Or you can make your own MAS adapter (or get one cheap) and then order a huge tapered oval cone from AJUSA and have a homegrown SRI

 

eh u kno what, ill sell it for $75 shipped

 

Oh and which one is the quietest out of the bunch?

 

haha a quiet intake? there all pretty quiet, just they just make the car not sound as ... well the engine anyway as small

 

Which one of these don't place the filter right behind the battery? As we can see in the pic above the filter is right behind the battery, seems like a bad spot for sucking in hot air... Do ALL of the SRI's for lancers end up with the filter there? It just seems like a bad spot??

 

Bro, don't worry about it. Here's what you do. Jack up the front of the car. see ALL that plastic? take it out. The only parts you leave are the wheel wells and the pieces they're attached to. Take out the part that blocks the vent in your bumper, too. then you get flexible aluminum ducting (read: dryer hose) and some wire, and you run the dryer hose from the vent (suspended by the wire from the headlight housing) up to the filter. Suspending it while it's up there is a little tricky, but you'll figure it out.

Does it work? Yes. How do I know? Datalogging. My air intake temp is about 5 deg higher than ambient using this method. No, I'm not going to make a heatshield.

 

i'm working on a custom heat sheild. its actually turning out pretty good. i'll see if i can post pics tomorrow.
