Well this past year i bought my 2010 S because i needed more room due to a new addition to the family.....in that not my wife missed alot of work so i couldnt really afford to drop any mods so i got to looking under the hood and had a brainstorm for a intake mod to last me until we get our money right.

so if you open your hood and examine your factory air intake box you will see the top lid or cover has small groves in it and theres a few of them.

if you want a good functional intake and the sound of a sri (short ram intake) and have a low budget try this out you will not be disjointed, just be tool and patient. here it goes.

step one take off the cover and mark the groves out.

step two is to use a very small drill bit and drill 3 holes in each grove

step three go up in size a little each time and start boring out the holes you made in the groves (be patient and dont go crazy drilling away you can really mess this up if your not carefull)

step four use the bit to sort of grind out the groves (i will be hard to keep even just be carful of how big of a bit you use)

step five after they are ground out use a small file or sand paper to even out the bore , and clean off the shavings.

step six drop in your new filter or old one (i purchased a apexi drop in off ebay for 35 bucks) then put the cover back on.

step seven take it for a test drive and listen to the difference. heres a video of what it will sound like (not best quality i used my blackberry) it does sound alot better and will notice a small bump in hp. with just this mod i ran a 11.25 @ 64mph pass at the 8th mile drag strip here and stomped on a turbo bug and civic si.

if you go to my youtube page you will see more videos of it and my prototype intake i built (which didnt work out to well maf kept leaking )

You stomped on a turbo bug and civic si? That is really hard to believe with a basically stock Versa. Glad your intake mod worked out for you.

i have the time slips to prove it the bug had some off road wheels on it and was so slow sounded like garbage and the si had a intake and catback i stomped the bug and the si was by half a car

What year civic? We have an '86 prelude si and our versa could probably beat it, but that's because it's old...

 

[Guest]

was a 94 civic

 

[JVersa]

Do you have a pics of the finished intake?

 

[Guest]

not at the moment but i will try and gut up early and get some i took a few when i first did it but i lost my phone and even the video on it showing how i did it

 

[Guest]

well guys remember how i said , "be careful you can really screw it up." well i did just that i got up today and was going to try and even out the groves a bit i started in on it and cracked in 2 of the groves in the center and the piece fell out and now it looks like garbage with big chunk missing

Ouch.. that sucks dude.

 

[Guest]

yeah i know im not worried about it though i just ordered my stillen cai

 

[Guest]

Ouch.. that sucks dude.

a guy just hooked me up with a new dc cai that will be here monday i will probably make a install video (if i remember ) but i am pumped

 

[jbeau]

So you beat a civic si? he must not know how to drive. A stock civic si will munch a versa any day. Shit even with my 2.0 a well driven si should beat me

If it was an old Civic Si it could've probably beaten it no problem...horses escape.

yeah, that's what i was saying...he said it was a '94. our '86 prelude si *might* get beat by our versa, lol!

 

[Guest]

it was a rice rocket piece of [email protected] really had a ebay 30 buck fart can on it and steelies and rims looked deacent but was a ricer no doubt

Haha I did this to my uncle dodge ram hemi. Sounds pretty good. If you use something like a k&n drop in filter and just drill out holes on the factory box it's very much like running a Sri. Does the same thing. Lol
