I feel like a newbie for asking this.....

Hey guys...

I was supposed to recieve a "Thompson Intake" with my JRSC conversion, and never did. Apparently it never existed for B series motors to begin with.

Anyway, I need to get rid of this "filter on a stick" and get a CAI.

I know the 2 biggies, AEM and Iceman... I was just curious what everyone else here was using, and their results. Is the AEM or Iceman sufficient in diameter for 15lbs of boost? What mods were required to make it fit with the JRSC?

Is their someone that makes a cold air box similar to the "Thompson" design for the B18c1?

I'm trying to avoid making one... Although I will if need be.

Thanks for your help.

Allan

I don't know about 15 lbs of boost, but Comptech has their new "Icebox", which uses a filter on a stick with a box enclosure and tube drawing air from beneath. This may be another option for you but I don't know who has used one with a JRSC. The advantage would appear to be a larger diameter intake tube. I'd be curious if it would fit over any other filter on a stick as well (which is probably easiest answered by calling Comptech ).

Get yourself some 3" PVC and a reducer(too fit the throttle body.) Take some 1/8th" to 1/4" sheet plastic and some sheetrock screws and make a cold air box... run some weather stripping around the entrance of the stick portion where the filter enters the cold air box to seal it..with another piece of 3 to 4" pvc running into the hole that your stock air box ran through, you may also want to drill about ten holes 1/2" in diameter in the pipe that extends down to prohibit H20 from entering your intake.... it works just fine, you may be out 45-50 bucks and have just the same performance... or better than AEM, or Iceman.

Injen makes 3 inch cold air kits, as does arospeed, and any number of 'generic' intakes.

Thanks... I may end up doing just that.

I wonder if there are any fitment issues with those of us that have JRSC's?

No more than what an AEM or Iceman would give you.

I'm expressing my ignorance here... But I believe I have heard the fitment issue they have is nothing a band saw can't fix... True?

I've only done a couple of GSR's with JRSCs, but one advantage that you have is that the placement of the TB is much closer to where it would be stock, than that of what the D blowers are.
When I did the blower install on Jay's car (MouhalIb), all I had to do was cut an inch or so from the length of the tube on his AEM. It worked pretty well.
3" is definately what you want with the higher boost levels.

Allan, I have hooper's old Thompson intake and am willing to sell it to you if you want. It's just not "pretty" enough for me I don't see why it won't fit a B series. Chime in if it won't Phil. [email protected]
