i bet your car is not making more HP, perhaps a bit less. when summer comes around, it will make significantly less HP because of all the hot air being sucked in - the car will pull timing like crazy.

you need to isolate the engine bay from the air filters, using snorkels to feed fresh air to the isolated area...

oh and when you call me an idiot, try to use correct grammar. dullard.

c32kompressor

okay well inform me how to make that work, how do i make a snorkel

ok kid maybe you should learn how to talk to people on this forum most of us on here have owned these cars before you even thought about driving a car. you are 16 years old and you probably think you know it all and thats fine we all have gone through that stage one thing is sure there is no need to call somebody an idiot for telling you the truth about your setup even if you dont like learning from your elders just put this into consideration most of the people on this forum have had their car for quite some time i would listen instead of arguing unless you have a dyno sheet saying otherwise. learn from other people's mistake, thats the point of the forum

try the search engine. its your best friend oand you wont get trashed for being uneducated about your car

c32kompressor

okay my apoplogies for calling him and idiot, i take things the wrong way sometimes, and yes i know i should be learning from my elders. ill try my best to lisrten and not argue

Elders?

Look, this in not a high school playground. The W203 has been out of production for 3 years now so, most everything has been tried, broken, modified and proven.

If you had attempted a simple search of this forum first, you would see that this discussion has been discussed many times, with pics and DIY step by steps.

Dinglberry is the most facetious member on the forums.lol His bio is BS.

As for the topic at hand, didn't we just have a thread EXACTLY like this?

Dingleberry

which part gave it away, the yogurt colonic?

krisv420

The dudes correct.. Hot air in the motor = fail.. Just keep stock on.. Ram air works just fine.. Maybe upgrade to the c350 snorkels that are made out of something other then plastic.

Dingleberry

you must be a big fan of my postings, since you have something to say in every thread that i post in

Dingleberry

you're not a very good troll, are you?

i modified the intake with flexable hoses that come down to as close as they'll fit to the old ones used to be, from the pic think it works?

TemjinX2

wow

TemjinX2

i think in the future you should upgrade to the mushroom intake filter so you don't have that dead spot in the middle where the cold is coming in.

c32kompressor

yeah i was going to but my idiot friends were like "it wont get enough airflow" so i got the bigger ones instead

Temjin,
I can tell you a lot of us rx7 guys dont like the greddy/trust style intake as heat fill the engine bay and turns the filter brittle over time. Eventually peices of the intake get sucked into manifold or in my case, the T-78.

OP I think your intake is an improvement. Might want to save up for the Needswings intake. I have seen them on the crossfire and they are sweet looking but then again they use that filter I am not crazy about.

c32kompressor

yeah this is just temperary until i get the money for the sl55 intake

Dingleberry

this will serve you well until summer comes around

Nice job C32K, when I was your age I did not know ***** about cars haha. Stay careful in the C32

Even the title is exactly the same except for capitalization...

c32kompressor, the original design of your intake was my creation. I've kept the filters located in the rear of the engine bay, and created a...

Edit: Guess I somehow deleted the majority of this post. I had included photographs, and what not. Oh, well...

You know what he means by mushroom filter right? Those filters are as big as what you have now and would flow more air. Overall, it looks pretty decent. Heat wrap and heat shielding would be a plus. You could also do a partial enclosure (or dam behind them) around your filters and funnel it to the front where the original intake tubes went. Cooler air coming in and it would be directional...

c32kompressor

how would i make these things, ive heat wrapped some stuff already but how do i make the shield or dam and the funnel?

c32kompressor

what did you make the hose out of?
