SuprAdam can only hope to improve
CAI will not give you any gains over a short ram intake. But it will cost you three times as much.

^^^hahahahaha. yea there isnt really that much difference between cai andshort ram. just depends on how much money you have and how much your going to put into the car. TECHNICALLY, cai will give more power, more air, more power. you can fit more cold air into a cylinder then warm air. so if your going to build your engine, well at least a full breathing system, a cai may make a little bit more gain. but if your car is a turd, buy shortram, just about the same sound. pretty much same power.

mx3 ...good luck finding one without paying through your *** if its the 4 cly.....start off by doing a motor swap if you wanna go fast in a mx3...or turbo the bitch

4 cly = b6t
6 cly = klze

^ You're right, except you'd want to swap a BPT instead of a B6T.

MX3 guy, if you're interested I could do the swap for you. I know my Mazdas.

yea thanks for the info... cept i already know about getting the KLZE ... i have the mazda mx-3 gs with the K8 engine ...
i just havnt been able to amass the funds to get a new engine... and ontop of that i dont know where id be able to get a legit KLZE...
also.. i dont even think there are turbo kits for the V6?... i think youd have to do some serious custom work or something to get a turbo ..
