im looking for CAI's on ebay and i found this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...7926904328&rd=1

what do you think? im looking for a trusty CAI that will give that 8-12 hp etc etc etc. but i'd like advice on whether to shop on ebay or end up spending 180$ on dr. speed's

just be safe and get dr. speed

well, you probably dont want to hear it, but there is NO cai that will actually give you 8-12 hp.

but yea, Dr. Speed is the way to go.

the one in the link you posted doesn't even replace the tubing that attaches to the TB.

really!?...........hmmph so i have to spend 180 dollars <_<

there are other options, but seriously, i switched from CAI to WAI... and i dont notice any difference. and i dont have to worry about water/snow in my intake this winter. not that it snows all that much here anyway.

Well that one isn't going to help you too much anyway.

It leaves the plastic accordin piece on the back part right before the TB, that will rob you of some power.

Start off with WAI first, later go to a CAI

hmmmm which WAI do you think i should get?

haha, i just said that ken... you're so silly.

yeah now that i think about it, a WAI would be pretty nice, i think i'd get a bad ass air filter. and i'd say it would be alot easier to work on induction stuff like a new TB or a TB spacer or new UIM, with that short WAI sittin there. kinda like aplug in pull out :P

talk to niach, he has a decent cheap alternative.

im assuming its reliable? with good gains?

haha, i just said that ken... you're so silly. [/b][/quote]
O sorry ;)

DO NOT GET A TB SPACER, bad news

A buddy of mine put one one his mid 90's Caramo with the 3.4, and it starting misfireing

well with WAI you have TB -> coupler with 2 grommets -> MAF -> Coupler -> short angled tube -> coupler -> filter

so yea, 3 pieces of rubber, one piece of metal tubing, and a filter.... i'm not sure if you can say that it's "reliable" or "unreliable" or how you'd even classify that.. you know what i mean?

but yea, you'll get the most "gain" you can out of a WAI (or even CAI in my own personal opinion)

*cough whore *cough

A nice filter to get is this one :thumbsup:

EDIT Gotta give me time to get up the right page :D

filter looks good, but i'm still afraid of k&n after the first encounter i had destroyed my MAF with too much oil...

and the description here scares me more! lol....

"They use a surgical cotton fabric soaked in oil as their tack barrier."

lol, SOAKED IN OIL is right.

i really do want a k&n that is oiled, but not too oiled. you know what i mean?

the carbueretor?

*cough whore *cough [/b][/quote]

I do ave a WAI option that I will be selling in the near future. I need to order a little bit of stock first before I start selling them though.

guess i'll save my money for that. or maybe buy that b&m shiftplus thing or maybe the FFP crank pulley.im just looking for a few things to bump the car up to 200HP, nothin fancy
