cold air intake for 1999 protege dx (1.6l)

[M3Silverfox]

Sigh. Sounds oh so familiar. I eventually couldn't cope with the constant problems of rigging my own intake, so I searched and found the old Injen CAI. One piece tuned design. Fastest I've been.

will have the dyno sheet up hopefully next week

Any dyno yet?

Intake For The 1.6

i know that someone might already asked this question,but i can't find the answer anywhere.
can i use an injen rd 6065 (made for the 1.8 engine) on a 1.6 engine? will it fit or will i have to do some mods?
or is there any other brands that i can use instead?
thank you so much in advance to anyone who could provide me with an answer.

I HAVE A GREEN AIR FILTER (LIKE A K&N) AND THIS VELOCITY STACK,PLUS A TORNADO.YOU WILL NOTICE A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM STOCK PLUS IT LOOKS GOOD IN THE ENGINE BAY.WITH A MODIFIED EXHAUST YOU CAN ADD XTRA HORSES.(BY THE WAY I HAVE 195,000 MILES ON THIS ENGINE.)BOUGHT IT NEW IN 99!

i would go with the weapon R short ram (Secret Weapon) intake it pulls hard as hell and makes a real nice sound

this is what i did to mine (but with k&N filter)..i have no hesitation,engine runs strong,i also add an OBX header and a BORLA muffler....since the car is running great,i am hesitant about getting a SRI, especially when people say that they have either CEL or hesitation.

THE SHORT RAM IS FOR LOOKS ON THE 1.6,AND THE INJEN CAI REQUIRES THE REPOSITIONING OF YOUR COOLANT OVERFLOW BOTTLE.WITH MY SET UP,THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE WHEN YOU TAKE THE AIR FILTER OUT ALLTOGETHER.(ALLMOST EVEVYBODY HAS DONE THAT.

i put in the INJEN CAI and the repositioning was very easy, i basically spun the container so that the pipe wouldn't hit it. it sounds great and was real easy.

I've tried all intake for the 1.6l, (injen, ebay, and custom). They all suck. My current set up is the stock intake system with a k&n drop in filter. It has better preformance and power then any of those intakes. With the any of those intake it feels like a lost of power.

 

[red95_240sx]

not you, but xplicid protege with the weapon-r sri. ive got my weapon-r sri to work w/o problems but i dont have proof of any gains.

 

[Gipper76]

whats better for a 1.6 a short ram intake or a longer one?

 

[red95_240sx]

CAI gives less throtle response but more torque. a SRI just take in hot hood air. find on that puts the filter on the left side of the car near the coolant overflow.

Yes the maf is gay, i always have to keep cleaning mine, if not it gets really dirty and the i get a CEL. I got the k&n drop in filter for like $10 on ebay cleaned and reoiled it and removed the resignator tube. Knew it was better, But i didn't know it was 8whp gain. (shocked)
