1.6'ers represent!

[THEGOLDPRO]

ok well lets think of it this way, ALOT of people have had problems with a CAI on their 1.6 protege, and not so many with the short ram, so it makes me think hmmmm maybe the tiny 1.6 doesnt like the CAI, so i suppose i would recamend a short ram for a 1.6. butttttt thats just my opinion, who cares what i think.

[Oshow01]

ha ha yeah true since were getting a snow storm here i ain't out doin nothing so i looked into what people have said bout there cold air' and many say there nice to look at but make the car spudder omre times than not........thus i think i just might look into the short ram just for spuddering sake. ha ha and all word matter on here that whats great bout this site n e one has a Question or problem and someone is bound to be able to throw in sum info

[THEGOLDPRO]

i was also thinking of picking this intake up off ebay, and just using the first piece of pipe to make it a short ram, see how it works. if it dont fit im sure i can modify it to work, and for 50 bucks who cares.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2455852125

[Oshow01]

yeah that is a sweet set up, i was out there looking in yahoo for a short ram for a 1.6L but ya i have a reason to belive that they don't got one, should i be lookin to customize one? hell good ol' ebay is gotta have sumthing

ok you guys win... how much is a short ram =)

[THEGOLDPRO]

that link i posted from ebay is a link for an intake for the 1.6, its only 50 bucks.and you can make it a short ram.

currently i have mine as a shorty as well. only because it was a pain in the ass to get to the filter each time i needed to clean it, and who wants to remove it everytime the seasons change. it snows here a lot, and i know for a fact, snow packs down there. the gasket i created, fixed it as a CAI, but it did it too without it as a shorty. it's just possible that the intake you have, was made differently, and the seal is complete between the oring, maf and intake. but others were not that lucky.

[Oshow01]

yeah i hear you, in order to check and or change my CAI filter i pop off the tire and then take off the splash guard haha as much of a pain it is to do i get to check them breaks everytime i change the filter haha, but short ram seems to be what most people say is workin better in the protege, so i see me makin the move in the near spring time future from cold air to short ram.

i didn't know you had to change the filter everytime the season changed. anyways the Injen intake i got didn't come with the gasket, maybe i lost in the package somewhere. yeah it is a pain to take off.

[protetype]

well.. you dont really need to i guess. depends on where you live. i'd prefer to take it off if snows gonna pack in there. hydrolock is a bitch. i'm not trying to scare you, i imagine the odds of that happening are kinda in your favor. lol. your injen shouldnt come with a gasket.. i meant the oring that's on the MAF.

[THEGOLDPRO]

lol i thought hydrolock was pretty rare also, until xlerate93, he used to post on this board, did a total engine swap and locked his engine the first week. so now im kinda weary. but thats just me.

[Oshow01]

yeah that was the first thing my friends told be so i put a heat shield over the filter i check it once a month now that it is winter and clean the filter just because of the sand/salt on the roads here.

[.Zero]

I heard the only reason you would have to worry about hydroseizing you car is if the submerge the entire filter underwater so no air can enter so the only thing it can suck is water. he maybe wrong though.
