You see how my intake pipe goes down into the fender by my wheel? That's the concept behind a Cold Air Intake. The idea is to get air from outside the engine that is much cooler.

A Short Ram Intake has much shorter pipes that stay inside the hood so the intake draws air that is much warmer because of all the heat the engine gives off.


Generally you want colder air, so a Cold Air Intake would be "better" if you're aiming to make your car faster. Now if an intake is going to be the only mod you do to your car, it won't make a difference which one you go with. The gains are anywhere from 1-3 HP with both Short Ram and Cold Air Intakes. Now if you were going to install a header and a cat-back exhaust too then the Cold Air might actually come in useful.

And lastly, no I do not have a turbo ... I can only dream about it.

I don't understand why no one put a turbo on the P5 or P. As i know that we car has a space to put a turbo on.

The mazda company workers told me that protege +turbo has over 200HP. I am so interesting about it. But I can not find any turbo which is mad for our car.

It's too expensive. A turbo cost US$3,800.00.
