Wow, looks great, where did you get the piping from? can you notice any diffs in mileage or perfomance?

slayer4u February-15th-2005 10:30 AM

much beter performance. I'll have to see about milage. The tubing is electrical conduit pipe. works great for keeping the air cool.

This is the pipe I started with. I only used one though.

You made that? If you did it looks great. Good job.

ghettopro February-15th-2005 07:40 PM

where are u guys getting those air detector things from? mines so huge and i wanna hook up a ram air setup but its too bulky, can anyone help me out? i just had to take back all the parts i got from home depot because the car simply wont start once its disconnected from that air flow meter.

wait...i just double checked and looked at those pics closer......that IS the original air flow meters u guys just took off that air filter housing and crap......now ive got a project to do...heh, thanks for indirectly solving my problem

Hey can someone help me out here....i just went to home depot today to try to copy ur designs......but they didnt even have a 3"(diameter) 45 or 90 degree flex pipe.....and the BIGGEST conduit they had there was 2 inches.........any thoughts on what else i can use that i can find at home depot?

instead of conduit im just gonna use pvc since they do have that in 3 inch diameter..but i still need all the rubber connects and such....

black_1stgen_protegelx March-15th-2005 10:32 AM

Check out this link. You will get many of the parts you need (polished tubing, clamps, couplings, air filter, etc.) and you can cut or modify them how ever you want. I just used a hack saw to cut off the pipe that I didn't need. If you can't find what you need at Home Depot, this is a good alternative. You will still need an adapter for the VAF. The kit will not have it. I also incorperated the resonator, RX7 VAF, and a little better air filter on mine.
ebay intake

Thanks, I think im gonna order this tonight. I could have put all this together just home depot didnt have anything i was looking for. Im going out right now to look for something i can cut apart/turn into an adapter. I know what they look like so it shouldnt be a big problem.

Nice workmanship, slayer4u. Does it sound nice, when you run it wide open?

mthegodfather March-15th-2005 06:23 PM

Very nice lookin craftmanship. If anyone has ordered an EBAY CAI for a 1999 1.6 can you post which one you order or from who you ordered it so I can make sure I get the proper one.

Mine is 2.5". That's as big as you need. You won't get more flow w/ 3". I don't understand why they don't have it. They had 1-3" at my local Home depot.
