I just 3d printed this piece out out ABS and cut up and used the NB intake tube with a k&n filter and man what a world of difference! I drop engine temps also which is weird but this intake works phenomenally!
@@Hibiscus_Motorsports you think it would be good daily? I take my Miata out every day and I’m looking around to see if I can find any front bumper CAI but I can’t. Everyone DIYs it and I can’t cause I don’t have the right tools. Any recommendations?
I think it would be alright in a daily use, the main concern is that the air filter isn’t protected from water a whole lot but I’ve driven with it on during downpours and been fine with no issues from it. This intake is definitely the best if you don’t want anything too invasive, the next best I’d say would be Flyin’ Miata’s Randal intake but that requires you to cut a hole in the fire wall. Racing Beats is also dyno proven and will keep the air filter in the engine bay so if rain water is a concern for you that one is a good bet
If you want to keep the o ring on the MAF then yep! Otherwise if you want to get rid of it you can use a 2.5 60 degree pipe from the maf to the cobra intake part, that’s what I personally did and haven’t had any issues with it since!

That’s awesome! Great job on doing a full DIY setup!
How does abs hold up? What wall thickness you have?
Reflective tape needs an air gap to work, so if it's touching the radiator maybe you can adjust it with some kind of spacer.
What is the exact name and size for the port for the IACV?
How has it held up?
So far it’s held up great, I still use it and it’s been through about 5 track days now

So from TB to MAF is 2.5/2.75 and from MAF to filter is 3/2.5? Is that correct?

@@Hibiscus_Motorsports Okay awesome! I was thinking 2.75 from MAF to cobra if I took the o ring off but you’re sure a 2.5 will fit?
did you have any hood clearance issues, I think the maf is hitting on my hood right now
I originally did because my hose clamps were oriented wrong so they were hitting the hood but other then that I haven’t had anything else
