Why use the stock air box? Just run the pipe down thru the fenderwell and attach your K&N filter to it.

I don't know what your talking about??? you want me to clamp the stock air tube to the cheap intake??? i don't know how this will work, i would like to put my stock air tube back on there becaue it is a smaller diamerter and i will get more bottom end power than with my 3" pipe. Try to explain this to me like i am a child. :yes:

I hate to beat a dead horse here, but the only negative thing i can find about venting the crankcase is an occaisional drop of oil in the driveway , and the environmental concerns about venting directly into the atmosphere.

Well, the environment seems like a fairly good reason to me-- but I don't think there's a need to get all soap-boxy. I'll leave it purely technical:
"...the PCV system does this by using manifold vacuum to draw vapors from the crankcase into the intake manifold." If you remove the hose from intake tube to valve cover, you remove the source of positive pressure; you know how much vaccuum there is in the engine compartment? None.

Vapors are forced out through the PCV valve by the air provided by the intake... so what's the purpose of removing the pressure line? If you were to install one of Endyn's filter tanks, it would be rendered useless by not having positive pressure...

It's a system that doesn't need to be replaced (or removed) because it is simple, and it works. well, that and there are absolutely no performance advantages to be had. If it ain't broke, why break it?

Are you going to make the pipe longer and make it cold air intake instead of ram air? Covering it in that paint it worthless if it's still pulling hot air from the engine bay.

It's still not too late to make a ghetto-fab CAI out of it...

It'll be well worth it.

I think i might just scrap the whole thing and start over, i'm a baller :grinpimp: . The one in there now is a 3" pipe and that one on teamsol (the same thing i posted at the very top of the page :slap: ) looks like a 2.5" or it should be. I might do that, just order that pipe and go get those cuplings at home depot.... or i might not. I got spanked for spending by my g/f, she said :nono:

heh, I was out talking to my neighbor, he's got an integra that was automatic with an LS motor/75 hp wet n02.

he hydrolocked (mustve drove thru a retention pond or something) and swapped in a GSR with 5 speed, he was hooking back up the nitrous system. That'll be a quick Teg.

He was planning it anyway. It was just good timing. Yes, get a credit card but use it wisely. One needs credit to do anything in this country.
