What intake to buy for 1g eclipse?

[KCz Eclipse]

I have a 1991 eclipse gsx, and i am looking to hard pipe my fmi and install a new air intake. Something along the lines of a cold air or something. But the guy at the shop i get my work done at said that 1g eclipses have a square MAF and he said that it would make putting in a aftermarket intake difficult. He said something about converting to a 2g MAF because it is round. Does that sound right. If you guys have any tips or info that would help that would be great.

Thanks

Alright, fair enough. I'll just get a good one.

Go ebay NGR bov.Get the real NGR diaphram,you have an NGR(knock off type S) for 70$ instead of 150$ like they sell on theirs site.

I had a crushed 1g bov.It liked to flutter.Put the stock one back on uncrushed,Didn't leak even with boost creep.

Some people have seen 1gs leak not crushing them.I have not.

With a FMIC shouldn't you already have hardpiping?

I just have it mounted right now and haven't mounted it because i wasn't sure if i was going to buy a different one or not. I wasn't sure if it would be cheaper to buy the vrsf fmic with the piping already, or to have my piping done custom the way the mechanic wants to do it.

Save yourself some cash, and pick up a wrench.

That's pretty much how we all learned.

So i should pay the 350 for the vrsf and put it on by myself? Because i think i got a real quick quote from the guy here at mkc performance and he guessed it would cost around 500 to pipe my fmic.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

You mean 369$ plus shipping for an almost bolt on fmic with J pipe.Vs 500 to make a couple pipes for yours?

 

[KCz Eclipse]

Ok, so thats one way to look at it, and it makes just piping my fmic almost not an option. I've heard a lot of positive things about the vrsf and am probobly going to buy it.

You will have to trim the front bumper support.But other than that it should bolt right on.

i have heard nothing but great things about the vrsf kit,and they have good fitment. also u can use your abs(if you have it)and keep your a/c.

 

[KCz Eclipse]

How much of the bumper, and how difficult is that. Could i do it with just a hack saw?

 

[Bud92gsx]

A hack saw.Yeah you should be alright..You take the bumper support off, mock up the core.

Grab a marker, mark the support.Cut, and put back on.Done..

If money isn't an option, you could also buy the jm fab race bumper so you can just bolt it up without hacking anything.
