New discovery for the 1.6l guys

I see u have a ram in front?

 

[Joost27]

where? did u see the picture of the front of my car? I did take out the driver side fog light delete cover, will work on more direct flow to the filter and brakes on both sides this spring, but as of now no gains int he 1/4 are shown, last fall i tried both with and without that cover, and no change was seen.

I was looking in MOTM. ive tried making one from the hole by the coolant reservoir, to that area, but i really didnt use and hosing. Is possible with a few bends in it.

 

[Joost27]

yeah, I'm not sure if any type of ram affect is even worth the trouble. If you are willing to try it out before I get to it(I can't do too much, seeing how it hasn't been above 30*F in a while and way too cold to start taking stuff apart) I have heard that the fog light hole is not the best place for air to flow it, the pressure around that area drops dramatically as you get to the edge of the bumper. So, use of the big hole in between two fog light holes might be a safer bet for any type of gain. As usual the gain we are talking is so minimal, you most likely wont notice it.

hey guys instead of buying a new maf what i did was mate the stock intake with stainless steel piping to make a CAI. so far the car runs smoother than it did on my k&n intake.

 

[Joost27]

like i said in my first post, I'm sure it's used on alot of vehicles, however, the only one i can confirm for sure is the 2000 celica gt-s seeing how my friend has one and we compared the numbers, and they are the same, also I have been told by another friend of mine his 06 or w/e corolla xrs uses the same one, I have not compared numbers to confirm.

It is not uncommon for a company to use the same part such as a maf, on multiple vehicles in their line.

as for making your own type of intake I'm sure it works great, however, I go to shows around the area and I love the look of my injen cai under the hood.

I finally for the pic of the MAF and the vids. Here they are.

And what type of intake is that?

that's the Cosmo Racing CAI. I would have gotten the Injen but they don't make the CAI for the 1.6 anymore.

 

[red95_240sx]

whats the piping diameter of it?

 

[Caedmon7777]

whats the piping diameter of it?

2.5 to the engine and 2.5 all the way out.

 

[red95_240sx]

cool...

Interesting stuff.

 

[Joost27]

so Caedmon7777, you like it much better now i presume. The video shows pretty smooth acceleration.

YES Thanks so much for giving us the heads up on that!!!!

 

[red95_240sx]

I ordered one, should be in this week...

 

[red95_240sx]

well....nothing drastic. its alot harder to disturb than mazda's sensor. I didnt reset the ECU and i also put the cold air bend back on my SRI. not really sure if theres a difference. but i knew the bend made the car slower with the mazda sensor.

 

[Joost27]

well like the original post, there shouldn't have been any significant power gains, just smoother acceleration through the rpms. Are you still getting some hesitation or jerking when accelerating?

 

[red95_240sx]

only when im trying to speed up w/o downshifting sometimes at interstate speeds, but I really didnt have any problems before.

I guess it was only calrified that it would allow the 1.6L to use aftermarket intakes, and not make them faster huh? lol.
