my new 3g is an 86 carb....... dumb question but i never had a carbed car.....

whats the difference between carb and efi?
and can i make a cold air intake for a carbed or no?

ok here you go !

pic # 1 shows a carb car ! # 2 is an EFI car with a custom air intake !
an intake on the carb is possible but flipping the lid is much easier ( means flip teh cover of the air box and screwing it back on 1 )

if I gota penny for everytime I've seen that question..... I could have afforded the FI model instead of the carb'd... .hehehehe...

just flip the lid, screw it back on. no it don't hurt the motor, just don't drive it that way in the rain or cold or extreme dust conditions just to be safe.

do it man !
and CoAster is right ! if it freezes where you live don't do it and if it so dusty you'll have to change the filter more often !

I totally agree with the "
don't drive in rain or dust" idea

ok i live with canadian winters...my ONE piece of advice is to NOT do that if you live in a colder climate, remember the ice storm of 98?
man that sucksed ass, almost every car up here froze internally, my 4runner plennum froze solid and my carbed honda simply woulnd't start, we had to be extracted from our neighborhood from by our"armed forces" lol wich is really 3 guys in a canoe with a hand grenade lol (no offense to anyone who really is in the army or canadian forces)

flipping the lid works in ideal conditions and should be limited to that if possible

btw...whats the hp/ torque gain in doing so? i can't remember

if you gonna flip the lid, do yourself a favor go get the K&N filter.
I got mine for $35.
