hey wizkidd how does it sound??

 

no, the cold air intake is on the opposite side of the car as the battery, so no relocating the battery, just look where your airbox is now, and thats where the cold air intake goes

 

sounds awesome! you can really hear it sucking when it idles, and when you hit the gass and if its supercharged like mine is you can hear the whine from the supercharger when you accelerate

i love it!!

 

with the 5th gen montes. 95-99 you can opt to move the battery to the tunk or get a smaller battery and slide it forward and run tubing from the maf to the fenderwell with a 9 inch generic or any kind of cone filter to the fenderwell. z34phoenix has a great writeup and pictures on how to do it. they dont make any intake kits for the 5th gens. the ebay kits are just a small pipe with a filter on the end which just sucks hot air up from the engine bay. with a fwi it gets colder air from the fender right behind the right headlight which is better for the car. well good luck with it

 

the best way to get cold air if you have the room is to make something custom that goes down the bottom of the front air dam, mind you, you'll have to clean the filter a lot more, but you'll get a lot of cold air coming in through there

 

whoa i never knew you could move the battery to the trunk of the car

 

actually if you relocate the battery to anywhere inside the vehicle (and that includes the truck) it should be a vented battery, or optima(dry cell) battery

if you put a regular battery inside your car you will get fumes or possibly acid leaking

just some info for anyone if they're planning on doing this

 

i got the intake you gave me a link to and it will fit a 3800 series engine not a 3100 seriesbecuase there is no place for the map sensor do you have a solution for my problem

 

im pretty sure your talking about the MAF sensor. the MAP (manifold air presure) connects on the upper intake manifold. give my cardomain site a look and you will have plenty of ideas on how to fix it! the writeups are on pg 6
ok just updated a new picture for it.
