Hey everybody! I am new here and I just purchased this off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Neon-95-96-97-98-...QQcmdZViewItem

I know, I know, its not the greatest intake but I am considering this cheaper one as a test run, as long as I can install it and it works decent I will eventually step it up to a better one.

Now I have been reading the various posts on this forum and I was wondering if there was a step by step way to installing this intake. I know that most people in my situation put the battery in the trunk. I would rather not do that if at all possible. I also read about the iceman intake and how hard/expensive it is to find. So if I could get some help (pictures preffered ) with an install, or direct me one online that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance from a happy new Neon owner!

 

If you bought that cai from ebay you dont need to move your battery. Thats known as a hot air intake because it goes back behind the engine. The ebay one is a direct bolt on. Just remove your stock one and bolt it up. Sometimes they require you to use a breather filter on your valve gasket cover. The iceman goes down in front of the engine like the home made 3.0 ones. The ebay on is a waste of money. You should just strap a cone filter to the stock air intake tube and call it a day.

 

Thats one of mine. 90 degree boot with a 90 degree intercooler pipe and a advacned auto parts filter.

 

Here is just the filter strapped to the stock tube. This is how the ebay one will kind of be.

 

well hell it was only 18 bucks it's not that bad of deal for a WAI sometimes you can pay that for just the filter. right?

 

He only paid $18? How do you know? am I missing something? That link is to an auction that hasnt ended with 0 bids...

 

well do you forsee anyone else bidding on it? a lot of sellers will list a bunch of the same items at a buy it now price and a bid price. so you can usualy get them cheap by using the bid assistant and place the minimum bid on all of the products.
thats how i got my sthil saw so cheap. they usualy go for about 250+ i got mine for 190. its all in how you bid.

 

my mistake though its $32 with shipping.

 

Yeah thats about how much I paid for it $32 (Altogether). I am slowly working on bringing it up to a more respectable car. The car was given to me as a gift from a family friend so i am working on making it decent!

 

I got one on my neon I like it works better than stock took me about a half hour to install you may have to trim the plastic intake piece on the inside of the hood to keep it from rubbing
