DIY: Cold Air Intake made from Dodge Caravan????????

Mopar65 · Post by **Mopar65** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 9:46 am

I was reading "High Performance Dodge Neon: Builder's Handbook" and in the section talking about all the many different intake options was the sentance, "Many also make their own [cold air intakes] using an airbox hose from a Dodge Caravan." So I am wondering has anyone heard of this or done this? and if so did if work well? Thanks.

Mike

I believe you are talking about the 3.0 intake. This only applies to 1GN neons.

This also belongs in the engine section.

Yeah, that book only applies to 1gns.

I'm sure there are a few cars out there that can be used to make a custom intake for the 2g. I made one from a mustang for my old avenger, it just takes a little clever thinking.

I like to hit the junkyard and look at all the v8 intakes to get a good idea of what I can make. It's just so much more satisfying when you custom make something yourself, as opposed to telling people you have an aem or iceman intake.

i always thought things had to be mapped out for maximum air flow and such... otherwise wouldnt u be hurting ur perf. by trying to help it?

Not really on our little n/a engines. Even the high dollar intakes only make a couple of hp on our cars. It's a different story for turbo and higher flowing engines, but our cars just don't have that much flow.
