Intake Questions

[1994MarkVIII]

hi guys i just joined the forums and i have a couple of questions about the intake on my mark viii. i want to get rid of the intake resonator, can i just cut it off and cap it and be done with it or do i have to do more to the rest of the intake? also i am planning on getting rid of the intake box and going with a open cone filter. could i keep the stock MAF and get an adapter for it or should i get the LMS 80mm MAF? and also what size is the stock MAF?

Jamie has a shaved intake for sale right now, its well worth the money.

also if you just use the cone filter get the ice box , so you are not sucking in the hot motor bay air

yeah id like to buy the intake tube but im kind of short on money so im just going to cut mine and seal it. is that all i have to do because im not going to get the cone filter, MAF and box for a while. i want to get rid of the resonator and keep the stock filter and box for now.

i replied but i guess it didnt go through. anyway, im short on money right now so im going to stay with the stock intake box and filter. i just want to know if i can delete the resonator and cap it off and if i have to do anything else?

 

[jrherald420]

you can just cap off the holes, that would work just fine.

Keep the stock air box... much better that that cone junk....

I agree unless you like the glowing yellow check engine light. Also that post for the intake tube says its already sold

 

[NoLimit95]

Yes, it was sold a week or so ago. I'm sending him an extra one I have here to be done later this week.

unless you want your car to be slower...
mine never went faster than it did with the stock air box and paper filter.

Oh how I regret about 2000 passes where I drug a useless performance killing cone filter and aftermarket maf housing.

if you want it to run the best it can, stick with the stock air box and maf housing.

If you want it to slow down, and look like every ricer/grocery sacker in town, get a cone filter!

lol ok. ill keep the stock intake box and MAF but i think im still going to get rid of the resonator. thanks for the help everyone.

another question: what kind of spark plugs do you guys suggest for the mark viii?

 

[1994MarkVIII]

also where is the air silencer? i thought the air silencer was the resonator.

Motorcraft AWSFA 22 C OR Autolite 764's, plain and simple, use COPPER!

Again, the silencer is under the air box. You'll have to remove the passenger wheel, remove the liner and it goes from the bottom of the box and it is routed up to the under side of the headlight. Just take the damn hood and fender off lol. You'll get to all of it a lot easier. Unless you have help with the hood, don't take it off. Just jerk it.

Just hog out the front of the air box and run with no passenger headlight! Ramair FTW!

I had an extra box layin around and did this for the track. Scroll down in the thread and check it out. http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=55761
