Hey guys I got a 2001 DX shitty 1.6L. I was looking into past threads and read that there are some problems with the AEM 1.6L intake is there any other intakes that are available for the 1.6 ?

there isnt an AEM Intake for the 1.6L engine...the only one specifically made for the 1.6L is the Injen intake and from what I understand the probs were fixed if you buy a new one

Im sorry thats what I ment. Its earlier over here I know there is a Injen intake its like 240 bucks i ment to say is there a AEM intake. But I take it as a no. Thanx

ok here is what you do...(this is what i did)...cut the tube for your MAF out of the stock airbox,then buy one of those Protege5 intakes off e bay for like $45 bucks...buy a vacuum plug from you local parts store large enough to plug the IAT hole ,hook up the intake,and BAM!! you have an awesome short ram/CAI for cheap!!

I'm thinking about doing this mod too, forgive my ignorance but what's the IAT hole?

thanks

The hole where the Intake Air Temp Sensor goes.

Woh! Wait a sec... how do you know if the Injen intake for a 1.6L is old or the new one? I am considering purchasing one, but if there is a major problem I might reconsider my decision.

Does anyone recommend getting an Injen CAI for the 1.6L? If not why?

Thanks!

you waisted 45 bucks for a 4 inch piece of pipe????

macdaddyslomo

actually I got 2 peices of pre-bent polished pipe which happen to fit perfectly in my car,3 peices of silicone hose connectors,all the hose clamps,cone filter,chrome heat sheild and l brackets to secure it.....so who the hell wasted money????

THEGOLDPRO

well all righty then buddy! all i saw was a crappy lookin filter and a 4 inch piece of pipe, i mena if you used more than that good for you. im not bashing you, im just stating what i saw.

If your car is an automatic - no, because you will hate the jerking issues that come w/ it. If it's the 5 speed, go for it.

If you do a search on injen and jerking, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks NegatiZE,

I do have a 5 speed manual. I will do a search and read more into it.

if you are looking at my pics you wont see my current intake..it looks way better than that...that old one was just a pop style intake...that costed still about $35 to make...although $25 was for the filter....
