i want a nice cold air intake and cant really find one for the price i want, and i have been seein a lot about prelude intakes on the site, i was wondering if they fit in 6's, and if they do, do they need any modification....thanks

 

[Kanja]

Yes, they do fit with minimal modifications. There is a tutorial on how to do it somewhere on this board (I forget where).

prelude intake write up in 2ND GEN PROJECTS SECTION people use honda intakes because theyre a fifth the cost of a hotshot intake.

 

[yankeefandy]

yea i dont want to spend $180 if i can make it myself for 80 bucks.... Also i have heard that gsr intakes work, anyone know anything about that?

i was reading that CAI project posting and it is very interesting. i think i will make one too as it seems not to be hard at all.
where to get that Prelude CAI (and how much should i spend on it)? from a Honda dealer? (i checked EBay but not find one)...

 

[anomaly]

You're smoking crack, right? These Honda intakes are all over ebay!

Here is one I found

You need to get to ebay motors and search the parts/accessories.

Another site you can check out for buying direct: www.procarparts.com

Cost on ebay: ~$30-$40
Silicon couplings: ~$10 each

 

[yankeefandy]

where would u get the couplings...

 

[anomaly]

Well, at least 1 should come with the kit.

Try these places:
www.hosetechniques.com
search yahoo (et.al.) for Turbo City in Orange, CA
Local Ricer shops
Ebay motors occasionally have them in packages of 3 for ~$25

You will need at least 2 - 3" inlet / 3" outlet silicon couplings to secure the CAI.

 

[yankeefandy]

You will need at least 2 - 3" inlet / 3" outlet silicon couplings to secure the CAI.----------so will i need 2 of each or are they the same....haha damn im an idiot

 

[anomaly]

Yes, yes you are!

As for the description I gave on the couplings:
I thought I explained it pretty thoroughly. But here goes:

3" I/O = 3" inlet/3" outlet = 3" diameter (internal)
These things come in all different sizes. From straight to reduction...

You will need to get 3" diameter (straight) silicon couplings to fit on the CAI piping.

As for how many, search mx6.com using keywords "prelude intake" in the Pic section and follow the directions.

 

[yankeefandy]

haha sorry dude im only 15 just got this car as my first car

 

[JeremyL]
