and overall which is the best CAI for the 1.6 ?? and please post link
 
that is the correct Celica MAF, so someone has already got it for you, i would be interested to know if the previous owner was a member of the forum.

With the stock intake you will be safe to run the MAF i did for a couple months after this motor went in. As for the best intake i really like the look and quality of my Injen, however its not made so good luck finding it still..Cosmo makes a similar one, and also if you want one with stock pipe diameter the simota is the best, but with that MAF, you can run either 2.25" tubing or 2.5" tubing, can confirm 3"(which is overkill).

hey i really dont know if the person who i bought the car from was a part of the forum and hey also whats better for the 1.6 cai or sri and can u please post some link on the cai ??
 
the cosmo is very similar in design to the Injen, just two piece rather then one(no difference in performance, its just a look thing. the weapon R short ram is what red99pro has i believe. I believe the area where the MAF screws to on the weapon R is prone to leaking and therefore you need to make a gasket from a tube patch. Personally I would never buy the Injen CAI again. It really shows no gains, its a sound and appearance mod thats it. If you go with cosmo, then make sure you get a nice filter, K&N, AEM DryFlow, or Injen.

Cosmo Celica MAF needed:

Simota 2.25" Short Ram from Protephile Stock Mazda MAF is fine to use or Celica MAF:

aaahh hey thats my pic.!!!

Id get the simota, its alot cheaper and safer than those.

2nd choice, id get the cosmo, since its two peice. The first half of the cosmo is about the length of my SRI with the 90 elbow attachment.

i think the injen may just be too long for our crazy engine, but ive never experienced a 1.6L with the filter way in the bumper.
 
oh the celica MAF is not needed with the weapon-r once u get the seal good. so if u dont have a celica MAF, u cud subtract that from the total cost.
 
oh really? what is the diameter of the weaponR pipe? and if you dont want your image up there let me know ill take it off, i just went searching, figured it was informative to show it.

oh and as for the length of the injen, it really doesn't affect anything. I just put my stock intake back on today in preperation of winter(I don't want have a repeat of last year's puddle incident). No difference in performance, just A LOT quieter.

oh its cool, im j/k about the pic.

I believe the weapon-r is 2.25 too. I kinda want the cosmo or injen, it wud probly be hella loud.
 
its pretty loud lol...but i have never heard a sri. Dont buy the injen not worth the price, the cosmo like i said before is basically the same
 
thanks alot every1 i think i just gonna get the cosmo with a good filter and thats preety much about it and i also found my swap i found a bp 1.8 turbo and i wanted to know that if i get the cosmo CAI would i still be able to use it for my new motor. the only reason im doing the swap its because i have a 1999 protege with 193k
 
well see thats a cool idea. I dont know if the mounting locations for the BP are the same as the ZM, and also expect to have to do a lot of wiring. You are going from OBD-II to OBD-I have fun with that. If you are going to go through all the work might as well do the KL-ZE swap. Going to be about the same price and you will start off with a 2.5L V6 with 200hp to the crank which is more then the turbo BP stock i believe. If you get any other motor then the ZM the cosmo will not work just FYI, well you could cut the piping and use pieces as intercooler piping, but thats about it.


red99pro: don't say its like a Honda EWWW. And we don't get rasp like they do haha. I'll link you to a vid of my car inside with the cai and good pull, its kinda loud.
