Want to put Intake on XT turbo

Featured Replies

I want exact detail of everything i would need and how much modification it would take to put a aftermarket Air intake on a 86 Subaru XT turbo. any help would be awsome, thanks guys

Counting chickens before they hatch XTLOVER?

Hey, I've got one in my rally car, but if you look around you will find nothing off the shelf that will work easily. I bought a kit that should have worked for an XT6/XT but ended up hitting the throttle body. You also have to get the right adapter plate to fit the MAS on the end.

The other problem is, if you find one that fits, you need to figure out how to support it. There is only one plug and play intake on the market, and the guy doesn't sell them very cheaply. Nearly as much as you paid for your XT.

Anyway, if you figure this out send me a PM over at XT6.net, I'd love to hear about it.

Well, if your engine bay looks anything like a GL or GL-10(as I have), you could make your own fenderwell intake. I did. I used a short ram 3" diameter intake pipe off of a 88-91 Honda Civic(Ebay), by cutting it into 2 pieces between the bends. You will need to get 2 additional couplers($5 a pop at Autozone) and you will also need a MAF adapter($15 at Autozone). You will also need to purchase a reducer(from 3" to like 2"). I am currently using a thick rubber sewage pipe reducer that I bought from Lowe's($8) to go after the MAF to the turbocharger inlet. You might also have to have a local muffler shop bend you a piece of pipe to go from the MAF to the adapter that mounts on the turbo inlet. If you need an air filter, you can buy a cheap "cotton mesh(big whoop!)" air filter from Autozone for like $20. If you are looking for a good air filter, you might want to check into a K&N or S&B(same freakin' thing), Stainless Steel mesh cone filter(Ebay), or a Foam mushroom or cone style air filter(Ebay). The filters will cost different amounts depending on where you look.
