My Beams came with the standard intake which I'm planning on using to start with, but is there any/much advantage going aftermarket with a decent CAI in place? I've read elsewhere that the standard Beams intake is the best...
It was Bonzai's post below that got me thinking.

All you need to do is buy this : http://www.amazon.com/Short-Induction-Inta.../dp/B002W5XHI8/ cut it and buy a 71mm piping that has a 80-90 degree bend like mine and it works great.  -------------------- |

ill be honest with you, the oem intake is the best because it was engineered for it. all the aftermarket ones you can get here will either run the engine lean or rich. the most closest one is the 3.0 inches, that i sold to bonzai, but still not perfect.
There is a SARD that was made for the beams, runs about 300 dollars, but the filters are not washable. this engine is very picky... Now i found this on ebay.... good luck finding it. HKS its discontinued, and still is not perfect...  -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
