my friend bought an intake for his stock hatch, the j's replica. i didnt think it would really work. we had to leave the stock air box on. i've never heard of leaving on the stock air box but we had to. we took out the filter and hooked up the intake onto the air box. we left all of the stock rubber tubes connecting the air box to the oil. and plugged up the hole on the intake. not sure if we did it right. any suggestions? by the way its an ek. is there a better way to install this?

bump before sleep

 

any pix? sounds confusing. ek dx with the weird looking intake manifold right? also consider the d16y8 intake manifolds.

 

yeah the throttle body points up instead of the to the side like we're all used to. no pics we did it earlier tonight. we had to leave the air box on without the filter. not sure if we installed it correctly

 

That intake isnt made for that motor (d16y7). Its for the d16y8 or above with the side port throttle body.

i agree. get the y8 intake mani, it'll fit.

 

exactly what i thought, we did a ghetto install. and it seemed ok. i was wondering if it could really be done and if we did it right

 

 

tell him to get the y8 manifold. Worth the upgrade probably, or at least you can use the intake right
