On an automatic transmission?

Im running a Lancer Ls 2003 Automatic ..

i was looking to buy maybe an AEM cold intake .. and i all i see when i search for cold intake it "manual only"

?

 

yes u can do it....you just have to move your battery to your trunk

 

how do i move dat **** to the back? run a wire to the trunk?

 

You can do it... I did it. But after a few months the transmission will eat through the piping since the clearance is very minimal. Once you do this, you'll have to move the spillage bottle that is attached to the radiator since it won't fit back into place as it used to. As for the battery replacement to the trunk, that's one way to go, but not really worth it. If it were possible I would relocate the battery EVO style and then do custom piping down to the bumper.

 

thought about it but i don't like messing with all the wiring work

 

yeah im better off just getting a short ram rite?

 

if you don't feel like doing all the extra work...yes...

 

theres no real difference (other than sound) between cai and sri anyways

 

i would agree and go short ... it takes away so many headaches ... easier to clean, no worrying about water getting in ... and the difference is so small you will never notice it ...

 

wats the diffrence in sound between cold intake and short ram?

cold intake is heavier?

 

CAI will make more power at higher RPMs... not much more but I can notice it in other people's cars. Short ram kicks in at lower RPMs but doesn't pull all the way until redline and will not be as effective if you have been driving for a long time (heat soak). CAI is definately going to weigh more, because it has a longer pipe. The extra weight will make ZERO difference because its not like it weighs 10lbs more.

 

but if your going turbo or sds i think you have to move your battery right???

 

no theres turbos for auto trannys^

 

check out roadracemotorsports.com buddy.

 

Get a MAF adapter.
Get a filter.
Get some dryer hose.
Get some hose clamps, too.

Just do it.

(PS - if you really need me to explain more than that, do some research.)
