Easy CAI for Turbo DSM's w/o SMIC...

Ok, for you Translator/VPC guys, this is easy.
Basically what I did was purchase a 90-93 Honda Accord Ebay 3" aluminum intake for around $35 shipped w/ filter included.

1.First you may (depending on pipe size) need to enlarge the hole where the IC pipes went through the SMIC. Make the initial cuts along the red lines, cut the nipple off, and cover with the silicon connector. Attach this section to the turbo.

2. Next attach the filter to the short side of the 90° pipe. Take the assembly under the car and push the long side without the filter through the former SMIC pipe hole. You should now be able to figure out where to cut the pipe so it can attach to the pipe coming off the turbo. Once it is cut, check for any metal fragments that may have fallen into any of the pipes, then attach with the silicon coupler. Thats it!

For Stock MAS People the steps are very similar. You will need a 3" adapter from ebay in picture #3 (search eclipse adapter or eclipse intake) and a 3"-4" (I believe it was 4", might be 5", see what fits on the MAS) Fernco Rubber Reducer from Home Depot.

The Fernco fitting will go from the pipe in step #1 above to the MAS. The adapter attaches to the MAS. You snake the pipe up like in step #2, but it will have to be cut much shorter. Just attach with the couple and you are done.

I HIGHLY suggest an AEM bypass filter as seen in picture #2. It won't do jack for you under boost, but it has saved my ass once (goddam hurricanes). $40 or $4000? You choose!

Use your imagination, there are a million ways to do this.
