Air Intake

[Indoles]

Can someone please tell me how to build my own intake. I have a 96 GAGT. And i think i can make one. I just need to know how to do it. If anyone knows, please e-mail me instructions. Thanks

what i ahve set up in my 96 grand am GT is i took the air box which is located on the driverside right behidn bumper

its a rubber thing looks like the guard under ur car to protect engine...

i basically just cut it and folded it around the opening next to the fog lights so its basically a ram air intake...

the air box is quit usless unless u open it since as soon as u rev the engine the air is sucked out

I think what you said sounded like a good idea, but I didn't quite understand. Can you try to be a little more...umm...english?

sry i type like crap

if u follow the air intake from the engine to the air filter which should be next to battery, it then goes down into your driver side front wheel well
you air box is located here... it basicaly is box of cold air which is exhaust rapidily and becomes usless... i basically cut this box open from underneither the car and folded the flap around the opening in the bumper next to the fog light

u need to drive ur car up on ramps and get under it to see it

its a poor mans ram air ALSO u could jsut cut a rectangle shape out of the air box and attacha homemade scoop...

thc cold air intake on my ride is a slightly modified 95 civic c.a.i
i cut the pipe about 4 inches it looks like it was made for it

Okay, I understand ya now. Even though the link you posted was for something far from a poor man.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortuanately, that procedure would take alot of time. Can someone please give me instructions on how to make a simple, cold air intake. I'd rather make my own, but if i have to, i will use an import CAI. But before i do, can anyone tell me what Import CAI i will need on my car? and if so, will i have to modify it to fit in my car?

does anyone know about how much hp that homemade scoop would add, the one thats cut into the "air well". it looks simple to me so i thought about doing it

i built my own for a 98 GT it was real easy heres what you do go to you local auto parts store and buy a cone filter then get a 3" platic vacume conneting hose from a hardware store run the vacume hose from the mass airflow senser into the cone the cone should sit on the wheel well where your airbox waswrap the connecting points on the hose(such as hose with airflow senser) and your done the whole prosesse once you have the parts shouldnt take more than 20 minutes:evil2:

I'm going to see if I can find some installs in the archives - there WERE several really good ones there.

You might check http://www.gapower.com their was someone who a while ago posted one that used ducting for a dryer. I looked pretty nice and since the all the duct work was metal, it blended well too. There is a lot of good info there also for some other mods. I am not sure if it is still up or not. All the sudden the emails died and that was it. I haven't been there in a while. Good luck. Mark
