what do you think-- ebay intake?

[SunshineAcid]

i know i know, its not name brand, but its also not a $220 bill from modacarthese are actually looking pretty nice to me in a budget comparison, plus with plans to go turbo later, wouldnt i have to either remove and use custom piping or hack my existing intake anyway? 250 bucks just to hack up or junk later isnt worth it to poor me =Pwhat do you all think?(regarding something like this:)http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting

[Axel Grungy]

looks good, just throw a K&N on it. BTW i have an ebay intake too. woohoo

[nomuken]

i agree, a pipe is a pipe.

[[s3]]

$17 alone is worth the materials in the pipe and the extras that you get.

Those securing clamps are weak, poorly made in china crap. Screw it too tight and it will break.

[Nismo_Freak]

Buy it, throw a K&N on it, and listen to the roar

The filter element is the main cost in the intake system.

Sorry for thread jack..

im thinking about the same thing but.... theres none for the 1989 is that cause its a different throttle body in the KA24E than the KA24DE?

also where can i get a better ground wire kit?NVM i found one here: here

[Nismo_Freak]

Build your own ground wire kit out of 10 gauge amp wire and fittings.

As for the intake, it's more than likely due to demand... not the design.

thanks for the input, its basically what i figured, but any help is always appreciated =)

one last question though, while i was browsing, half of these intakes, well more than half, a good 90% of them say 92-94, and i have a 91... but its a de.... so? i mean the pipe looks like it will fit. the direction will send it up over the fan, and back down to where the air box sits now. , is there something im not seeing or something i dont know? vaccuum hose differences or something?thanks in advance

[kyle1911]

so what your saying is that the 91-94 intake will fit a 89?

[SunshineAcid]

no, im asking, why do all the intake posts on ebay say 92-94 when my 91 is a dohc as well?

[yozsi]

are there any ebay intakes for 89-90 240's?

[Nismo_Freak]

no, im asking, why do all the intake posts on ebay say 92-94 when my 91 is a dohc as well?

Because the idiots listing them made an error.

89-90 = SOHC91-94 = DOHC

So an intake from a 91-94 will fit your car.

[kyle1911]

so the DOHC intake does not fit on the SOHC engine crap

[Nismo_Freak]

No, two different animals.

[SunshineAcid]

thanks nismo, that was the exact combination of words i wanted to hear

[Nismo_Freak]

No problem.
