Car: 1993 Mazda Mx-3
Engine: 1.6 L Inline 4
Mass air flow: ''old school'' mechanical sensor

I installed a cone air filter on this car. The problem is that the end where the filter should be connected is square. So I needed to make a piece that start from a square shape and ended in a circle, to be able to connect the new air filter.

The piece is made out of cardboard and paper, only to have the right shape. Then I added 2 or 3 layers of fiberglass on it. Inside, I applied glue and primer to avoid some paper particles to be swallowed by the engine. The result is an ugly but very strong and efficient adapter.

Learn about gasflow and filtration, you would never use that rubbish again. The surface area is 13 times smaller than a paper filter, so the holes need to be more than 13 times bigger to pass as much air as a paper filter - that means 13+ times the size of dust & dirt particles allowed through to damage your engine. It does nothing for performance apart from DECREASE it compared to a paper filter which passes more FILTERED air than the engine can use at full RPM. Boy racers are conned every day!

@urbex2007 If you would think a little bit more and look around you, you would understand things better instead of thinking you know everything already. I did not make this piece for performance, I simply made an adapter for my air filter because my mass air flow has a square end. Of course I know it's not efficient for airflow, I just like to build things and have fun making some experiments.

abomination,simply horrible cant beleive you didin't just plug the damn air filter on the mass air flow with a simple e-bay bracket,would have cost 3$ and would have look just more right

@kaboshi Like I always say to those kind of replies: I like to build things, to invent

[urbex2007]

@corght Exactly WHAT did you invent? Apart from ruining a filtration system designed to protect your engine and replacing it with something that restricts performance and destroys the engine. I wish boy racers would stop allowing themselves to be CONNED by clever sales and marketing departments. It's a multimillion pound market taking advantage of boy racers who don't even know how an engine works, what a filter is or how to spot misleading & vague wording of adverts which have no real meaning.

@urbex2007 You assume I know nothing about engines and how they work because you don't understand what you see. I know how racing engines work, the optimization of airflow in F1 and NASCAR engines, how temperature and pressures affect the combustion, restrictions in the intake manifold, etc. Of course I know that my piece made out of fiberglass and paper is not efficient for performance. You are the kind of person who just talk, go out and have some fun, try new things and learn by yourself.

i think its dope! im deff doin it, for the same reasons u did i like to build things an have unique shit, an no it may not be perfect but if u shot that down lower to the ground or a more air open place it would be better, an for fact a stock motor would appreciate that more air less work it have to do (y)

@urbex2007 fail...

ale żeś sobie wysmarkał dolot :D:D dawno się tak nie dośmiałem dzięki :D:D trzeba było z papieru toaletowego zrobić to by ładniej wyszło:D::D

damn this thing looks like shit...you need to just junk the hole car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
