what kind of air intake do i need for a 93 4dr sidekick? i want to replace the stock to help airflow. i can't find any that match my rig on any website.
-
Uhh, Air Intake? You mean snorkel, right?
-
i have seen a few go though Ebay but other than that you will have to build one your self.

i stuck a k&n air filter right on the end of the intake, works awesome
-
i am novice. so bare with me. calmini sells one for about 100. blue tube deal with a filter on the end. it replaces the factory enclosed box air filter.
-
If you don't have any additional mods,
like a header, cam or cat back exhaust
you won't get much if anything but more
noise from an intake mod like this

yea thats a good point, a header and exhaust are the biggest upgrade that a guy could do in his drive way with hand tools.

i have liek stock size pipe with out a cat and a glass pack muffler with the k&n and i noticed soem difference
-
sorry, but cat-back? don't laff, but is this what you do when make the stock bigger. like 2" out the back? i don't want loud muffler. just all the help i can get on horsepower
-
Cat back is the exhaust mod that changes out the
stock 1 3/8" pipe to a 2" pipe after the Catolitic (sp)
convertor, this helps the engine breathe and flow
more fuel/air for more power. The filter won't help
if the engine can't get rid of more extaust.

see i know more than i think. i'm gonna wait on the cat-back until after i put on 3" calmini body lift. is this the correct thought process on that move?
-
No order of importance, one doesn't
affect the other
-
will i see much difference with a exhaust system and better air intake?
-
You might see a 10% increase,
which is like 5-6 HP, not huge,but
it is a noticable difference.

Yes you will notice the difference. I have a Calmini cam, ported head (plus milled .010), throttle body spacer, hi-flo air cleaner, Calmini header and 2" exhaust. Seat of the pants dyno says it has more power but it is still sluggish over 65-70mph (with 235 ATs on)...having said that, this engine is newly rebuilt and I haven't had the opportunity to really open it up yet...plus the road conditions for the past week have been real crap here in Alberta.

james,
your back :) what happened to you ?
-
i have calmini's 16v header a air intake i made myself and a 2 inch header back exhaust with a turbo muffler and theres a big difference in power probably 10-15 hp
-
is calmini my only choice in headers? maybe something a little cheaper, or is that the cheapest?

LOL saw that coming.

if you just stick a k&n filter on the end will that mess the electronic stuff you mess up on the factory air filter?

Hi, I figured i'd thow my 2 cents in. air intake won't really do anything even with proper muffler action. I did notice some gains with my mid range torque cam and also i installed an underdrive pulley that I got on ebay, it was about 35.00$ and definetly gave me some more power. Thats what I noticed, I guess everyone will have different results.
-
james,
your back :) what happened to you ?
Exorcising some personal demons ;)
and also i installed an underdrive pulley that I got on ebay
I've been considering getting one of those as well...
But for some REAL power...my neighbor is trying to talk me into a 4.3L Vortec hot rodded up to around 300 ponies..he's got a few cores and all the parts to build one...I keep thinking that would be a great engine for a 4DR SAS project ;D
Also he's all into building a 2WD V8 Track/Kick for the strip as well. He's got a couple of cores and enough parts to build up a 450HP+ Chev 350...plus a Ford 9" and my choice of a Turbo 350 or R700 tranny...where's a shell when I need one ;) Oh...his current toy is a 72 Datsun 240Z , 377 stroker over 450 HP, street legal in the mid 10's...he's building up a 421 stroker that will be in excess of 550HP...wants to get into the 9's...so my little 80HP 1.6L certainly pales in his shop ;)
