Saturn Custom Do It Yourself Cold Air Intake

***Please excuse the lack of audio, youtube does not allow music/copyrighted material to be used. I'm working on fixing it***

A custom cold air intake project made for my 2000 Saturn SL2 DOHC. More information on the project can be found at http://alienationskins.com/saturn

pause it 0:08 and you will see the homemade hose not even connected to the factory airbox inlet.

@unkonshus Looks pretty connected to me. Turns out it had to be cut shorter to make the turn up with the hose. In all honesty how can you judge what is connected and not through a video of lesser than great quality.

The plastic manifold is the best one. 1) It reduces intakes temps by being plastic instead of metal which will heatsoak. The plastic being the compound that it is will not hold the heat as much 2) The vertical intake allows for even air distribution to all cylinders. The horizontal metal one gives cylinder #4 lots of air and then cylinder #1 all the way at the other end has less air. Equal air makes everyone happy.

Turns out plastic intake is better, considering it's vertical design.

btw i just went with the bomz short ram intake you can get on ebay for about 50 bones shipped.. not knockin on you dude cuz i appriciate a good DIY, but sometimes its just easier to go with what is there. btw, look into the dog-bone upper transmission and lower engine mounts.. and keep your serpentine belt fresh. i got prolly a good second in throttle response from that.. oh, and i got the 5 speed too!

Ah very nice. Yeah, for stock fog lights it's a little different. All I would do is move it to the right side of the front grill area (just left of the fog light hole).

Yeah I know a good deal about the mounts, I have some custom ones headed my way. That and I have the parts for my 5 speed swap. Should be fun haha

this is the dumbest shit

saturn? really?

[SpecialForces9124]

I guess you haven't seen what happens to a lot of Saturns in the tuning world.

They take nicely to turbos. ;)

@diaryofthedead most vehicles today incorporate a plastic intake manifold and valve covers you moron. just goes to show, whatever shitload you're driving is behind the times.

i don't know why, but this made me sad.

@koolBOY8323 lol, i made my own short ram intake. im pretty sure its too big to give max power (starts at 4" at the filter, goes to 3" halfway down). but throttle response is really good

[pepene93]

@SpecialForces9124 actually its the other way around, the ainr in the manifold moves quickly, so the closest cylinder doesnt get nearly as much air as the last one

[diaryofthedead]

u know what else you could do is replace your plastic intake manifold any saturn u see with that vertical pipe is a plastic manifold....i know this because my gf as smart as she is made the dumbest move ever and bought the same year saturn and i found it as plastic fuckin poorly built engine

[SPIDERMAN2015]

dang i like what you did to the saturn engine how much did you spend and also the light are sick great job i have a saturn too but still planing on what to start fixing first
