1.5L intakes
 
anyone made one yet or what is everyone doing to custom make one?

There is a place in Canada that did make one. I think its called Essential Speed, or something. There are more 2nd geners like me with custom intakes and such. Come check it out.

There's a site www.essentialspeed.com
There's only guys I found so far .


Gonna save some money and go there to get turbo for my 1.5 .
Not sure what's better to get turbo for my 1.5 or swap my engine to 1.8 . I got 100 miles already :(

how much did they charge u?

K Dawg ONE November-28th-2003 03:26 PM

Im part of the R&D team so I payed very little...they charge $250 CDN.
It uses a genuine KN Invert filter (ES's cost on these is $100 alone) and 304 SS with xray welding.
They are also comming out with a turbo kit for the 1.5 and the 1.8 motors as well as a header back with bot single muffler and dual muffler (y-piped at the axle)

300 is a little on the expensive side

250 isnt too bad tho

if you were up to the challenge you could probably do it yourself, or have someone help you out

Im a welder, maybe I could help some of you out. I got a 1.5 98, she's badazz, but I dont have a way yet to upload my pics of her.straight pipe, spitfire plugs and wires, speed chip, and more little perks for engine. Her looks are show worthy definitely, got our own clubs down here in Corpus Christi, TX
