Hey guys, just bought myself the car mentioned in the title. I'll try to post some pics soon if anyone's interested.
My goal is to get the car legal to drive in CA... I would love it if i could one day drive the car down the street knowing that, regardless of what cop happened to want to hassle me, they could never impound my car because they happened to pop the hood and not like what they saw underneath.
Mechanically the car is solid. Aesthetically. it's alright... not bad, not perfect.
I haven't done anything to the car since I purchased it besides finding a mounting pin in the harness that the person installing failed to remove, causing a check engine light... so that was cleared. Got the Viper alarm working as well.
I had an appointment with a BAR Ref. Great guy... admittedly, he was the one that found the cause of the check engine light. He said that I need to get a CARB-legal intake (came with a generic aftermarket w/ Matrix filter element), fix the timing... oh... and get the cooling fans working (aren't working and overheated near the end of test!) and return for another try.
Smog was okay besides NOX... which was about double what it should be. Said it could be timing, but that perhaps I need a better cat.
However... not to that stage yet. For now, INTAKE!
I need either an OEM or CARB legal replacement and have been scouring the forums and internet for recommendations, but have found little. Given the popularity of Integs in CA, i thought I would find something definitive right away... but I guess it's a bit conflicting; wanting a CARB legal intake on a B20B, which technically, should not be BARable. I'm looking into AEM, but besides buying each model and trial-fitting each one, is there any info out there for options that will fit a 3rd gen Integ w/ a B20B?
Thanks in advance!
