Can you use the Comptech Ice box with your stock intake tube? It says on the comptech site that you must use thier high flow intake or at least filter (obviously cause they want to sell them). Basically what I'm asking is can I buy the Ice box, a cone filter and throw that onto my stock intake tube? Thanks in advance!

 

Yes, you can use the stock intake arm.

 

Cool, thanks!

 

yep u can use it all you have to do is get the ice box and the filter with the elbow for the stock tube and you are set

 

well im not to familiar with mods. but what does comptech ice box do?

 

To get a colder intake charge, Comptech makes an intake that uses ice to cool the incoming air. It is sort of like an air/water intercooler but for a non-turbo car. The only downside is that the ice will melt as you drive.

See here for more info.

 

Just an update - I took my AEM off, and did a little cheap CAI. I wanted to be "free to drive in the rain". So I put the stock intake on (minus the resonator), but I extracted the pipe that goes from the stock air box to the resonator (the gray plastic pipe) and stuck that onto the stock airbox. So it's the stock intake plus just the plastic pipe that comes out in the wheel well but not as low as the AEM (plus there's no filter there to absorb water). I am planning on getting a cheap short ram intake, cutting the pipe and attaching the metal pipe to the stock airbox with the set-up mentioned above and maybe a K&N or Comptech filter.

 

Why don't you just buy my intake, check my sig.

 

This is basicaly the same as the icebox - but $200 less -

 

that site doens't say anyhting about using ice...

looks like a regular icebox to me

 

I belive that was a joke

 

You can also buy some ice paks at Sport equipment stores, put them in the freezer at night and use them when driving.

 

Hehehehehe

 

Gee...Dan, you and Justin disappeared for a while since the R-Speed autox at Nassau, you start poping out again eh?

 

Well....I'm back - I was going to sell the R, but I thought better of it. Justin went out to Indiana, I still talk to him once in a while - he's still got the car out there, but no more Wailing Designs . I've been trying to make it to an R-Speed meet recently but I been real busy. I will continue to try, although my car will be going in for some upgrades soon....

 

wErd..R-Speed is growing stronger and stronger. Welcome back!

 

Thanks - yeah I see that I really wanted to make it up for the NASA Lime Rock day. I wonder what I could do in my R there - it would be totaly different for me though, have to learn a "new line"
