Feel like I saw this years ago on the forums back when I had my Miata. Seemed like the best cold air intake option but I think it was still being developed or was a one off kinda thing. Either way if this was mass produced I’d would of bought one in a heartbeat.
Good gains. This IS the hot setup for NA power. Had a 3D-printed version on my previous VVT swap. Never dyno'd but the gains were felt after install and retuning the Megasquirt. Intake air temps read by the MS3X were only ever 5-10 deg F over ambient at rest, hot engine.
I might be interested in one for my 94. Yes, I finally bought that local, two owner, no rust, Central FL, 94 Miata. Nice original body & paint minus engine/trans. The original engine/trans (included in the deal) was a basket case. Owner made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Rebuilding the 1.8L (low compression on #3 according to PO.)
Hi guys. I have looked at many "cold air" intake systems for my mx5 and I'm yet to buy. Yours look RIGHT. Only I have a '99 NB but I,m sure that's not a deal breaker for I'm sure some modifications can be made. I'm really looking forward to see where further development will take it. One thing though, will running the tube/pipe over the radiator not cause the incoming air to heat up? Keep up the good work.
I believe this does work on an NB with no problem, but I haven’t tried yet. The radiator might heat the pipe up a bit, but the stock intake runs right next to the radiator as well, so the difference is minimal. The colder air from the front of the car should also definitely help negate that.
Interesting intake. Do they fit up the same on nb models and whats the idea for the non fiberglass half if he where to produce them? Would everyone have to diy that other half or would there be an aluminum pipe or something?
I'd like to put something like this on my car (STS class) since down here in Texas it gets crazy hot when I am racing (105+ ambient this past weekend). However there really isn't any good options like this for a 1.6 car.
I’m thinking you could modify the AFM location and put it sideways right where we have the IAT sensor (metal pipe) and just extend the wires. Although I don’t think this is STS legal. Your best bet might be the weird squire intake extension that some STS guys run. It pushes the intake up really close to the clutch master/firewall.
Sadly we did the Skunk2 install before we really started with the Wednesday videos. We also didn’t dyno just the intake manifold and throttle body. The 150 wheel dyno run was 15 hp higher than without the Skunk2 IM/TB and this intake setup, so that shows really most of what the intake manifold is worth.
I want one of these intakes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to talk Joefis Racing to send their intake built through Flyin' Miata but he is dragging his feet for some crazy reason as Flyin' Miata IS LOOKING for People to Partner with regardless if the pieces are 3D printed or Not. Perhaps your guy could get in contact with Flyin' Miata and strike a deal with them. PLEASE let me know what you think of this other guy could get a hold of me as well. I have a relationship with Flyin' Miata and I'd like to see these being mass produced. Thanks,
Seems to be ok! It has some throttle hang issues here and there, but it’s not that bad from my experience. I only drive it one a week, so Dylan might have other ideas haha.
It’s solid. Still chasing some rev hang with the TB but it’s not bad at all. Also the car feels a bit on off with the gas pedal but I think that’s in large part to how free flowing the intake is.
You would have to extend the wires for your AFM and stuff it between the radiator and the engine block. It’s a tight fit but I think it can be made to work. No promises.
This sounds too good to be true lol. Am I missing something? Nothing else has been done to the engine besides CAI and an intake manifold? 150 WHP is like 60 more than stock.
Thank you guys! Glad I had the opportunity to get one out to you before your dyno session!
Thanks for being so flexible! Hope the move worked out well!
I need one of these intakes man!!! Where’s the link so I can buy one?!!!
I am experiencing intake interest syndrome.
If you’re still making them I’m interested. How do I get in contact?
Three years a little late but are you still making these?
Feel like I saw this years ago on the forums back when I had my Miata. Seemed like the best cold air intake option but I think it was still being developed or was a one off kinda thing. Either way if this was mass produced I’d would of bought one in a heartbeat.
It’s been around for years, but it’s really hard to find someone who can make one without charging an arm and a leg.
There was a guy on one of the miata forums doing a 3d printed one, I think the files are still kicking around

We’re definitely glad we were able to get our hands on one!

Nice! Congratulations!!! If you want an intake, reach out to Ryan via IG!
That an impressive gain, that car's getting fast now
Just in time for a turbo!
@@NappMotorsports oooooh! Btw I feel like suggesting an oil catch can to reduce knock even further.
Love the videos, you guys are growing quick. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the support! We really appreciate it.
Love this video. Awesome!
Thanks!

Just replying cause I have an nb too, can't wait to see the final product
I wouldn't mind testing this intake in Miami summer weather. 100+ temps and 80% and up humidity
Reach out to Ryan and let him know you’re looking for one!
Would be great to see some temp comparisons between stock setup and this set up
I'd have to source a stock intake. Let me see what I can do.
I WANT ONE...NOW!!!
Hit up Ryan Conforti, his IG is in the description.
Could you tell us if these intakes were manufactured for sale and where?
I carry them on my website
Interesting intake. Do they fit up the same on nb models and whats the idea for the non fiberglass half if he where to produce them? Would everyone have to diy that other half or would there be an aluminum pipe or something?
You can get all of the correct pieces out of silicon from siliconintakes.com
Where did you put the MAP sensor?
It runs on speed density, so there’s an IAT sensor in the intake and there’s a vacuum line running to the ECU for manifold pressure.
IL Motorsport has exactly that in production for years
Interesting yeah, but $380 when this does just the same with less. Jackson Racing made one a while back too.
@@NappMotorsports the il kit is also for nbs
I checked IL Motorsport. They did not have.
Put it on the Kmiata already! So then I can copy you and out it on mine :)
I have a better intake to put on the KMiata 😉

So if i understand correctly, there is no filter at all?
There was a “filter”, but not really. The kit I sell now does have a good filter on it haha.
Good hp gains but a noticeable drop in torque. Interesting maybe needs to be tuned.
Torque peak stayed pretty close.
Where can I obtain one of these wicked sweet intakes ?
The mans Instagram link is in the description!
I really want one but do not have Instagram. Would buy ASAP.
He’s on FB too as Ryan Conforti
Got a link to the skunk throttle body intake install and test ?
Sadly we did the Skunk2 install before we really started with the Wednesday videos. We also didn’t dyno just the intake manifold and throttle body. The 150 wheel dyno run was 15 hp higher than without the Skunk2 IM/TB and this intake setup, so that shows really most of what the intake manifold is worth.
@@NappMotorsports was thinking of going with a flatop for my 99, but prices being what they are for them the skunk looks like a good alternative.
Does it fit if the car has AC? The AC condenser would be in the area where the pod filter fits.
Great question! I believe this would be an issue with the condenser.
I need one like now ! Can you get me one?
I will be selling these as a kit shortly on my website!
Was this ever released?
Not yet
Awesome video, also what exhaust is that?? the car sounds really good
It’s a custom 2.5” with vibrant resonator and muffler
How narrow is the golden piece and what’s its material
It’s Fiberglass and fits a 2.5” pipe.
Hi, was the 150 WHP with or without the .040" head shave ?
With!

We’re slowly working on this. There’s a lot involved though.
We’re slowly working on this. There’s a lot involved though.
does anyone know ryans current instagram? the one they listed isn't appearing
@itb.ryan
I’ll change the description, thanks for the catch!
@@NappMotorsports No problem, thank you for the quick reply!
You bet! Happy to help and thanks for watching.
Is that CAI available for purchase yet?
Not yet, sorry
how does it compare to the randall cowl?
Haven’t tried that. It’s another one that I would like to investigate.
How does the car idle and accelerate from a stop with that Skunk 2 throttle body? Any issues being used on a street car?
Seems to be ok! It has some throttle hang issues here and there, but it’s not that bad from my experience. I only drive it one a week, so Dylan might have other ideas haha.
It’s solid. Still chasing some rev hang with the TB but it’s not bad at all. Also the car feels a bit on off with the gas pedal but I think that’s in large part to how free flowing the intake is.
What inlet manifold are you running?
Skunk2 intake manifold and throttle body.
Does dude have an email? For us who dont social media.
He doesn’t actually make them anymore, so sadly we’re back to not having a supplier for these.
would this work for a stock 1990 na engine?
You would have to extend the wires for your AFM and stuff it between the radiator and the engine block. It’s a tight fit but I think it can be made to work. No promises.
@@NappMotorsports so it would have a port for the the idle air control pipe?
Is there an air filter?
Yeah, it’s in front of the radiator behind the bumper
@@NappMotorsports Missed that quick bit, sorry- only heard the "threw screen over it" part. :)
I can’t find his new instagram, does anyone know the updated username?
I sell these on my site now.
@@NappMotorsports found them, thanks!
Stock camaros did this In The 98-2002 maybe those stock air boxes could help you
This seems to work perfectly and is made for the Miata already!
So, where can we buy this?
Can’t yet! Working on it.
@@NappMotorsports definitely takes a while
This sounds too good to be true lol. Am I missing something? Nothing else has been done to the engine besides CAI and an intake manifold? 150 WHP is like 60 more than stock.
You are correct, this video was in a series. See below for the whole breakdown.

You bet! Thanks for watching!
Very cool video, you should check out my Miata build!
Thanks!
