Ok so i have a Ka24 found at 200$

But until I have another car to daily. The Ca20 stands.

I've got the exhaust all done up and most other simple mods.

But i get to the intake. And I can't find which parts I need.

Which cone is right, size of pipe and all that jazz. (I would prefer not to go to autozone and get a "Specter speed", idc if it's a Ca20e im not cheaping out on any engine.)
HKS or something eye catching would be nice.

And it seems I will need an adapter plate of some sort for the MAF. I see the Z31 plate at autozone (I work at autozone and have never seen this) will work. Just drill new holes. I can get a drill but don't have one on hand. Anything that fits up better?

Just want to buy the parts and get them on.

its better to just take the top off the air box and ziptie the filter down. modifing anything past the top of the air box will gain u squat. and its a cheap mod (free) which is perfect for the ca20. investing as little into it as possible is the smartest thing to do with it. GL

Ok with that aside. Anyone want to answer my question?

I'd rather avoid the "free" stuff. I don't care if it gives power. I don't care if it costs money.

Lol stop being so worried about power and make your car how you want it.

I think I read somewhere here that E30 MAF adapter works on our car.

And from the pictures it looks pretty close to the adapter I made for myself a few years ago.

Well that would make things simple as you can get that for the 2 in 1 with the cone.

"If you were to require a rebuild of your CA20E, and were seeking performance from your CA20E while remaining naturally aspritated, simply do not attempt to do so."

love that!
