I have a '94 GS-R. VERY strong car. I'm going to the track on the 8th, but have had no mods since the last time I went. I got an interesting idea, and wanted to come here to ask if it's worth it. I know that the stock airbox works well because it's sealed, and that if you simply take the filter off and use the stock intake arm as an intake, it doesn't work too well. I also know in effect, most modern cars technically already have CAI, because of where the air intake is relative to the engine bay. If I got an extra OEM Teg air filter, cut a large hole in the filter above the air pickup, and screwed the top of the airbox back in place, would I see a difference? This would be for track only of course. Would that not create an icebox-like effect, and just suck the cool air directly into the intake? And btw, if I did that, would ya'll recommend me resetting the ECU, and are there any other quick things I could do at the track (take off resonators, etc..)? Thanks in advance.

 

it might make a difference, but not much at all. you can just take of the stock airbox... and run a cold air type intake pipe to it. for example, go to home depot and get those aluminum pipes you can cut up... then position it near the front bumper or through the headlight hole to (take off one headlight of course) and run the pipe to the filter.

 

I possess a minimum of car skill when it comes to actually WORKING on them. I don't wanna screw the car up by disassembling the whole intake at the track. How hard is it to take out the resonator chambers?

 

ttt... need some answers
