I don't if non-type-R integras resonator boxes look exactly like type-Rs but here is a intake system I made out of mine Sorry about the last pic!

Are these pics displaying now?

 

wouldn't you want the opening facing the front of the car?

 

I guess but the bumper and the turn signal would be in the way so it wouldn't have that ram air effect anyway. Has long as it is out in the cold air anyway it will work.

 

Here's mine:



It's 3" mandrel bend piping all the way (GSR CAI is only 2.75") until the stock intake arm. Notice the size of the K&N filter. It was shiny like the AEM, but I painted it flat black for the sleeperness (it looks very dirty here, but looks nice when clean). It dropped me from a 15.7 to a 15.3. I love it, and it cost me $60 total (I acutally already had the filter, so it only cost $20). -C

 

that is exactly what I did! heh, are you watching my house or something?

I also made an adapter for a KN filter to fit into my stock air box

and yeah, at least my '97 has the same resonator box as yours.

 

thats where the removal of the turn signal at the track comes into play...instant ram air...

 

That's exactly the setup I made last year, and I use the K&N filter strapped onto the homemade stock filter adapter too! Great minds must think alike The only difference with my piping is that I left enough of the white box to use 2 bolts instead of just one.

 

the thing is, when you use the airbox(s), you get lots of turbulence(sp), which isn't good (power loss). I might just put the stock air box over my existing intake to totally hide it. Mwahahaa

It may lose a couple of HP or it may not, but I really don't want the filter in the wheel well. It gets way too dirty fast and I may be a little lazy also since I didn't want to do much when changing the air filter except remove the top of the box.

Plus, now I see that Comptech is using a similar setup and Mugen does also.

 

typer 00-115,

I just realized that you have an ITR. Have you dynoed your car before the CAI and are you going to do it after? I'm curious if the resonator box is that much of a restriction. I don't know if you know already, but our (the GSR's) resonator assembly is the same except for that last black tube that sticks up. Your's just goes up a few inches and ends there sucking air from the wheel well. Ours goes up and then turns and suck air from a hole that leads back to the engine bay (sucks hot engine air). So I thought about buying someone's used ITR resonator assembly for my GSR since the ITR resonator assembly is already a CAI and there would be no chance of sucking up water.

 

I haven' t dynoed it. I think this would probably help non-R guys more because of the gain of cold air. I just did it to lose weight and maybe make the car sound better. I have the k+n in the stock box and I don't see a restriction anywhere else. So I am gonna save my money on buying after market intake system.

 

I don't have a G3, but I did make a custom intake also. All I did was remove everything upstream of the stock airbox, drop in a K&N filter, and stick a slanted dryer vent out the bottom of the car in the area where the resonator used to be(which directs fresh air up towards the filter box inlet). It sounds much racier and I'm sure it opened up a little bit of power at least.

 

well arn't you guys nifty .

 

was the resonator much of a restriction?
Comptech assures that ITR's make more HP with their Ice Box (aka **** box) than with the stock intake setup eventhough ITR intakes already suck cool air. Maybe it's the diameter of the pipe? someone know?

 

also, does the ITR resoantor bolt right on a GSR? I remember my resoantor having more bolts on the side

 

Is it me or.... That Last pic looks like you were on E at a Raving party?

 

How did you know!
