    Default Which ITA Intake for a 95 Miata ?

    Hi everyone,

    I need some advice on which intake to buy for my (almost)ITA Miata.

    Modifying my SM with the following:

    Kessler ITA head (leaving the bottom end of motor alone)
    Megsquirt Gen 2 ECU
    Stahl header
    Probably keep the SM muffler for now.

    I have lloked at the ISC Racing, Racing Beat and the Jackson Racing ones.

    Will appreciate any advice.

    Thanks

    Abhi

    It's the one you make yourself...after trying all those!

    Seriously, get any of them. Peak power won't change much at all. Doing the custom one on a dyno will just move your torque numbers around.

    Go with Mike's. It's good.

    Would that be ISC Racing ?

    Yes , That would be ISC

    I've got the ISC on my 95 , I also wrapped the tube in heat resistant / reflective tape and built a heat shield to keep some of the heat away from the air filter.

    We recently bought one for a 99' on ebay (less than $30.) and modified it, seems to work fine.

    What's your definition of 'work fine'?

    Got it Thanks. I'll just head down to the junk yard in Lawrence MA, and pick one up. With a big enough hammer I can make one of those Honda ones fit.

    Are under drive pulleys legal in ITA ? Do they really improve throttle response ?
