when making a custom intake is there something special that should be done, besides put the pipes together??

 

make sure you put it where it can get cold air not warm air from the radiator

 

If you have a MAF sensor make sure you cater to it...

 

He's got a 90 RS so no MAF there, just the MAP..much easier. Just ATTEMPT to locate the Idle Air Temp sensor (I think thats its name..its the sensor that screws into the filter canister) as close as you can to the actual intake charge. Otherwise, the car thinks it's getting air of a different temperature than it really is, and adjusts the a/f mixture incorrectly...not THAT big a deal but it helps.

 

Doesn't it make you wonder how these Honda companies can sell something so simple to import guys, and charge $190 for something that probably cost $10 to make? I'm in the wrong business...

 

Ditto that...that's why I want to sell custom intake assemblies on Ebay. $50 a piece.. I know it's still a rip, but come on..merchants' licenses and crap cost money! I'm looking for anything I can make easily and cheaply and sell on Ebay...hehe...any ideas, let me know! Right now I've got custom made interior accent pieces in different finishes, chrome being the base. Lol, and maybe I should sell a "car computer diagnostic unit"? Ship it with a paperclip and a printed, stapled manual and charge $25 for it.. Hey, cheaper than that the stores ask for ESSENTIALLY the same thing..
