I've been thinking about going the ebay route but wanted to see how it worked out for someone else first. Any pics of it on the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxalplyx Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Excellent! That's a good deal. I'm glad someone purchased this and simply stated they had no modifications and only needed screws. Yeah, post pics when you can. This is good info! You got it nice and cheap too. You must've received the product pretty quickly as well since bidding ended on the 1-18 (6 days ago).

Phaedras Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I must admit I've also purchased a MAF adapter and filter. The exact same distributor, in fact. I have yet to take out the bottom part of the airbox, though I doubt it will improve things much more. My engine already growls like a wild animal :-) I wonder if switching out this cheap filter for a K&N will do anything? How much more air can the engine get until the perormance curve flattens out? (5$ + shipping my rump roast, the "shipping" costs 16$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkiller Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 yeah, a little bit of profit there on the shipping shame too because when i sell stuff on ebay i only charge actual cost for shipping...oh well, he either charges more for the merchandise or the shipping...at least it fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a Maf adapter and air filter that's a direct fit for $21.00 or so. I consider that a steal. Unless someone else can point to a specific part# for an adapter and air filter from 'insert stores here' that's cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4WDFrenzy Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I wonder if switching out this cheap filter for a K&N will do anything? How much more air can the engine get until the perormance curve flattens out? It will help a bit. K&Ns flow a whole lot more than the paper or cotton fiber or whatever the heck they want to call those el cheapo filters. You will notice improved throttle response with a K&N not to mention a little more power as the engine doesn't have to work as hard to pull in the same amount of air as the paper one.

xtlover Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 what engine did it go on? ea82? think it will work on a ea82T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkiller Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 ea 82...and there are two pics in the photo gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtlover Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 So you think it would bolt up on a ea82T just like it did on yours? Im not to familiar with them.:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkiller Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 i would say that if the factory air intake is where the cone filter is in the pic then it shouldnt be aproblem..but i havent seen what a turbo looks like in the subie engine compartment..

4WDFrenzy Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 It will work on a EA82T. I have one on my GL-10 along with a full 3" fenderwell intake system that I kinda engineered myself out of a 88 Honda civic intake pipe. I would post pics, but sadly, I deleted them from my digital camera and also the hard drive on my computer. Maybe, I can take some more and post them later.

erik litchy Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 so what effect does it have? from this thread it seems it just makes it noisier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 so what effect does it have? from this thread it seems it just makes it noisier The biggest difference I noticed over stock was that with the stock setup, the car seemed to run out of breath at about 5500 rpms.. That is no longer an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Just imagine what the MAF adapter and filter + the TWE header and DP would do!!! Ahhh, what a combination!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaedras Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I also have a pic of my installed filter. I've actually left the bottom of the airbox in there. It practically cradles the filter so it's not banging around under the hood. I also didn't notice any improvement with the bottom taken out also. Same easy setup as alaningles'.

xtlover Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 did you use the same adapter?? I also have a pic of my installed filter. I've actually left the bottom of the airbox in there.
