Modifying the air intake
« on: February 13, 2007, 10:32:01 PM »
I was shopping around for some performance air intake kits. I couldn't find anything form injen or K&N for the cold air intake kits. I could find those parts for other suzuki models, but not specifically for my 1996 sidekick JX (4 door). I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy a cold air intake kit, or if anyone had any tips or thoughts on how to rig my own. I've seen a few rigs done from scratch here on the forums. Any tips from you guys?

i just went to advance auto and bought an AEM short ram intake, and attached it to the metal intake pipe that goes across the top of the motor, and im trying to make a heat shield to go around the filter, but it works fine like it is

Does that mean you disconnected the airbox from the system? Does the 96  have a MAF sensor or a MAP sensor somewhere else in the system? Im asking because the MAF sensor on my 95 is right at the airbox outlet. I'm wondering how it could work without it? Could of made mt turbo build easier withiut the airbox and MAF sensor.

Ah, thanks. I've actually been to your site many times before, I never saw that before. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone else have any other methods? All these ideas are great, I'm going to have to save up some money for when summer comes back around so I have some outdoor projects.

I'm just using a K&N in my stock airbox.
Works good for me.
Doesn't get wet.

So basically it's easy enough just to get standard/generic parts from an auto parts store and work from there just rigging it all together?

PVC pipe? wouldnt you have to worry about cracking?

What other affordable piping solutions would you guys recommend? And any air filter recommends? Specific K&N filter I should use?

So I was messing around with my car today. Mostly messing with the air intake stuff. I disconnected parts of it, and reconnected it all. I was looking for the o2 sensor (still can't find it). I found a little thing sticking out of the side of my intake pipe. It's like a little container for air from the looks of it. It's a container that just hangs on the side of the pipe. There's a hole in the side of the pipe where this container is stuck on. I removed this and started my car to see how it would react. My car started and stalled. What is this piece? And if i modify my intake, what should I do about this one piece?

I've read through all that, but it doesnt say what that little super soaker looking air jug thing is. I'd like to know what I'm doing to my intake and why, rather than just follow a guide. It helps me learn.
