    CAI question

    I believe the idea is that air drawn from outside of the engine compartment is cooler (and therefore more dense) than air drawn from inside a hot engine compartment. Ever work on a hot engine?? The air is always cooler outside of the engine compartment. Ka0tyk's setup is what K&N calls a ram-air...

    Tough motors they are

    Nice notch, a true survivor! My 'vert has a 5.0 in it's future also, but probably from it's next owner. I couldn't bear to pull the good old 2.3L. I know I couldn't bear the cost of gas and speeding tickets :( I would get with the V8. Good luck on the swap!! :nice:

    CAI question

    Let's see: The Civic-style tube gets points for bling and ease of installation, but no points for true cold air or originality. The PVC gets points for creativity (I've seen many different styles) and true cold air, but no points for bling or easy installation (comparatively speaking)...

    CAI question

    I believe you are correct, in that you don't have a MAF. I think it is on the 1991 and up models, someone correct me if I am wrong. :D If you did have the MAF, it would be located directly aft of the stock airbox, in front of the air silencer. This link gives a great pic of the '92 2.3L with...

    Differences

    1990 and on convertibles have speakers in the rear seat side panel area, earlier years had only dash & door speakers. I think the steering wheel and cruise controls changed at some point, maybe 1991, with newer models having the air bag in the center of the wheel and cruise controls on the side...

    Intake mod for the mechanically challenged

    That looks great, and so easy even I could do it!! Care to share the details of your installation; sizes, filter part #, etc.???

    Intake mod for the mechanically challenged

    For any non-tech types who are looking for a cheap and easy intake mod, this is your baby here. I perfomed this because: (1) I purchased a K&N for the stock airbox before I discovered Stangnet and the various CAI's within, and (2) My skills are best described as mechanically declined. Anyway, I...

    Can I fit anything behind the seat?

    I had my top repaired the other day, and the technician told me never to have any thing behind the rear seat when the top goes down because it will bust you rear window as it folds down into that area.

    How fast am I going????????????

    According to your figures, looks like the speedo is just about right where it should be. Sure feels like I'm just puttin' along 5 -10 mph slower than I really am. Gotta say I've never owned a car that drove so good at high speeds - maybe that just makes 55 seem like 45 and 65 seem like 55...

    How fast am I going????????????

    :flag: I've got a speedo that seems to read more than actual MPH. Realizing the many factors that go into speedo accuracy, I hope to sample some like users for relative (at best) comparison. Any one who has a stock 2.3 N/A 5 sp with correct tire size (no low pros) can help with this. At 55 MPH...

    Also new to the 2.3L

    Whoa there, Realtripp - I was wrong. CEET does not have a silicone exterior. The correct product is SCEET, red in color, exterior and inner liner is fiberglass fabric impregnated and coated with silicone rubber, -80 to +550 degrees operating temp. If you have a fax number, I could send you a...

    Also new to the 2.3L

    I would suppose that depends on what PSI you're dealing with. It is used for engine compartment applications (like blast air for pump cooling, exhaust heat exchange, etc.) but fairly low pressure levels. You can check out aircraft ducting and more at...

    Also new to the 2.3L

    Thanks Red_LX, that's what I thought it might be. I work in aviation and have access to aircraft ducting called Ceet (Silicone exterior, wire wound with fabric liner on the inside diameter of the ducting allows air to flow smoothly even in tight bends). I think the specs should be sufficient...

    Also new to the 2.3L

    I gotta say, this forum rocks!! Already have seen lots of useful info here that I couldn't find anywhere else. I reviewed the custom cold air intakes for the 91-93 2.3L. Okay, I'll admit that's more than I want to bite off right now (Yea, I'm a wuss). My question is what the heck is that fat...
