Iceman Intakes

[jmauld]

Previously, I posted about trying to get Ice-man to make intakes for our cars.

The guys at Ice-man took some measurements for an intake. Now they are waiting to see if there is any interest in them. Their email is: ice@ice-man.com

PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL THEM and ask for another CAI. There are enough of those on the market already. Plus the negative effects of this type of intake aren't nearly as bad as with CAI's or Short Ram's

If you email them, tell them that you would like to see an upgraded intake that uses the stock airbox.

Come on guys, even if you already have an intake please do this, it will help us have more options in our quest for more power.

Didn't the Ford Escort ZX-2 S/R Package have an Iceman air intake on it?? I thought I remember looking under the hood of one and there was a blue intake pipe. Not a CAI, but sort of a short pipe that went from the throttle over the motor. I forget what kind of filter was on there.

Is that what you are thinking of from them?? Or are you thinking of simply replacing the piping from the airbox to the throttle body??

jmauld that would be sweet.
I bet with that kind of setup utilizing the stock airbox and a performance panel filter will realize better gains especially in the torque department over a CAI with a cone filter.
just my 2 cents

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. This type of setup is available for the Focus. While the Focus is NOT the same engine as ours, it does have basically the same characteristics as ours. And this setup on the Focus provides a better power gain throughout with no losses, then any of the CAI's.

I wish the honda rice market hadn't made the CAI so popular, it really isn't the end-all of intake systems.
