Please post pics of you intake system.

[Darkness]

I search a little bit here. I found out that there's Warm Air Intake vs Cold Air Intake. I know whats' a CAI but I dunno what is a WAI. I put my 9" K&N filter inside the fenderwell. So it's a FenderWell Intake(FWI). Can you guys post some pics of your intake system. So I can have more ideas?

Thanx alot.:D

Thanx alot men. Did your filter stuck inside the fenderwell? If so, how far inside the fenderwell? I saw you have a GT. Did the V6 SE has the same engine bay layout as the GT?

[bszopi]

The Beretta's have the same basic layout as the GAs, so here ya go...

Yes, the filter is relocated into the fenderwell...this is the CAI. It's basically located a little bit lower than where the headlight is. Mine sits right behind/beside the windshield washer resevoir.

You can see it if you take the fog light out.

[Darkness]

So basically, the WAI you guys refer to is actually CAI that's what we call. And your CAI is just the same as my FWI. Now I get it. So where did you guy bought those pipes for the CAI? Please don't tell me to go buy the $200 aftermarket CAI system. I always think those are insane. Why pay $200 for a plastic box, some pipes and filter while soomeone else can make it the same for say, $60?

LOL.... Its actually not that much. Its 3 90ºs, a 45º and a 22.5º. But it gets it up under the bumper more for more airflow. Of course, I lost the washer fluid tank and the horn in the process, but oh well... :boogie:

[aleroboy]

where ya get the 22.5?

[Panacea]

A Warm Air Intake, is one that is in the engine compartment. Some people take the top of their air box off and that is what you call a Warm Air Intake.

A Cold Air Intake, is one that is away from the engine. In our situation it is in our fenderwell where it is away from the engines heat. Hence Cold Air Intake.

Since a WAI is by the engine, the air it sucks in is warm. A CAI on the other hand is in the fenderwell, away from the engine heat, thereby sucking in "Cold Air". Hope that clears things up.

The 22.5º bend is just a 45º cut in half.... :rolleyes:

APOC will sell them to you.

[3400MAN]

Go to the AEM website, they sell alot of those parts. Different diameters too. Just keep in mind that if we don't support the vendors that make parts specifically for our applications, they will not be around when you finally realize their value....

Looks like everyone who has the CAI will buy the device as well? What exactly did this thing works?

[bszopi]

I don't have one... :p You don't have to buy one, you can just use the stock one that came with your car. All (I want to say) 96-up GM 3x00s use a MAF, so you can use the one you already have. If you feel the urge to spend more money, then you can replace the MAF with a "performance" MAF as stated above.

How come you didnt photochop your fuse box??? :thumbs:

[drburns]

What do you mean photochop my fusebox? They don't sell a carbon fiber fusebox cover yet, and I suck at photoshop.

[MattBatt]

Well it's nice to see that everyone elses engine bay is as dirty as mine.:D
I notice all the pipes go to the fender isn't that where the SE's (non-RamAir) get their air from?

I meant it as a joke, thats why I put the thumbs up. I guess I shoulda use a thumbs up and a smiley or somethin. .. sorry for the confusino

Here is my CAI on my 95, but you get the point.

[akalar32]

here is another shot. mine had to have been a real custom job, due to where the throttle body is on the car, but hopefully soon, i'll be able to get a better setup.

here is my 2.4 WAI soon to be CAI. Custom job.

What, do you have a "clinton" intake??:D

I noticed you have the stock Ram-Air peice left. Is it still functional or does it just sit there?

Also, I've seen someone's set up with the cone right behind the nostrils where the stock Ram-Air peice goes. Would that still be a CAI, since it catches the air before it gets to the engine, or would it being that close to the engine block heat the air up? Could you run dual cones, one placed mentioned just above and one running into the fenderwell?

[Molson]

hehe, yeah, but it does inhale!!

[StarFire]

It's just sitting there, it has no use.

And putting the cone filter right behind the nostrils, you would have to do some work to modify it enough. I'd still say you'd be pulling in a lot of warm air just sitting around and moving slowly. Not worth it enough to me. I think relocating into the fender is the best idea.

I'm working on it :p

I would like to make it a cold air system.

Before i looked at the Year of your car it looked like you did a 2.3HO intake manifold Swap.

[JuniorsGt]

For those of u who have the CAI do u have problems with it when it rains?? I know someone who had one and got water inside his engine and siezed it up. I was just curious of how many pple that has happened to b/c I wanted to get one but didn't want to mess my engine and I will be driving in the rain. thanks

do a search, this question has been asked several times
no problems ever reported to my knowledge.

[2kramairGT]

Civic Short Ram adapted (thanks to Home Depot) to a full legnth CAI. Turned out pretty nice, tell me what u think?

[itlnrob]

What Kind of Pipe and dimensions are that from hope depot!!! I've been looking for something like that!!!

[2kramairGT]

Well, its the Civic SHort Ram tube from autozone $39.95. Its diameter was not as wide as the two 3" to 3" metal housed ruber couplers i got from home depot for $5 something each. Then i got that short peice of steel tube (3" to 3") from autozone for $1.50. THe red coupler with the two sensor gromets in it is from APOC about $10. Or you could take a regular coupler and buy the gromets, they are the same as those for running wires. The civic intake tube needs to be wrapped in some electric tape to make its O.D. bigger so the coupler will fit snuggly. Thas about it.

[itlnrob]

Which Pipe is this one? Look at Pic.

[2kramairGT]

The pipe is the autzone steel exhaust adapter. It happen to be 3"O.D. to a 3" I.D.(but they also sell one that is 3"OD to 3"OD) I had to cut off about 3/4" off one side of it to get the MAF closer to the Throttle Body becaust the wire harness had to reach it.

[bighead113]

In the circle that itlnrob drew on the pic, I just have a question....

I just took off the Ram Air setup, and just directly added a cone filter to the OEM MAF, no piping at all...

Now, would it be that much beneficial to get the APOC CAI with the added piping, like where the circle is in the pic???

[GrandAmChick]

Here's a pic of my Induction-Dynamics CAI, thanks to Dan n Matt ;)

P.S. I have an SE...

hm...can you tell of any web-shop from where i can order a cold air intake for my 2001 g.am GT ?

[highwayprowlerz]

Hey, where do you guys get the stuff to custom make CAI and WAI. I was at the hardware/home store this evening and I just couldn't find anything. A little help please. I want a WAI because I am going to make a cold air box to hook up with my SC/T hood...... any tips on either one of these things??

[IrateSpeed6]

My really bootleg temporary setup... I know you're all impressed... :D For my super-custom setup I hacked a civic short ram and an APC cheapo-filter...

Hey Craig... that's sweet. That is EXACTLY what I am looking to do with my car. Where did you get that stuff and how much? Let me know. I am trying to make an intake that I can hook up with my SC/T hood. I have a 7" K&N filter on the end of my GMS MAF and a tiny rubber coupling between the TB and the MAF but it looks ghetto and I want to move that intake a little further away from my engine so I can put a cold air box around it. Let me know. Thanks.

The intake is no longer available since RAT (http://www.ramairtech.com) no longer sells to the public.

The closest thing available right now is the RSM (http://www.rsmracing.com) intake:
http://www.rsmracing.com/3400.jpg

I've been toying with the idea of using a large rectangular baking pan or just bending some sheetmetal to make a cold air box for mine. Will try to have it done for GAP'03.

[highwayprowlerz]

Thanks!

[my99gagt]

i have a 99 gt and just got the apoc and i just dont see how its gonna fit. i see ur guys apoc intakes and i see a pipe to the left of what i assume is the maf, but is that already there or what? i just dont see how its gonna all work, but hopefully ill be surprised and it wont be too bad

[iceman]

highwayprowlerz - it is real easy to make on your own, it's just stainless tubing. I'd even try APOC for that, John got me a small piece for what I needed to do.

Craig - fiberglass is easy to work with.. . so is ABS.. just givin u ideas.

Thats people just installing it differently.
Thats not how the kit was designed to be used though.
there are other pics that show it the same as my instructions.
follow them and you'll be fine. :thumbs:
