ScoobyBlue 1 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 My wife has just got the 86 back from the garage, and got them to put in the Mishimoto induction hose, and she was given more bits back than I thought she would be getting back. Any thoughts please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts please? They've removed the full sound generator piping and the little box goes on the bottom of the intake pipe. Mishimoto provide a bung so you can run the box or not. The mishimoto instructions suggest it's worth a couple of hp to keep the box in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodename47 446 Report post Posted June 18, 2019 Pretty easy to refit yourself if you want to, takes all of 10 mins to remove and refit the intake pipe with the resonator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScoobyBlue 1 Report post Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks for all the input. Wifey took the 86 out for a spin the other day and hates it. Says it feels like a diesel car now! Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravelRash 62 Report post Posted July 3, 2019 Changing the intake hose shouldn't have altered the driving characteristics of the 86. It will make less noise in the cabin due to the new intake having removed the sound generator piping into the car (down by the pedals behind the carpet). Can you elaborate on how the car is feeling like a diesel? Juddering Noise, Smoking A seemingly endless torque pull (it won't be this on a N/A) The inability to get above 4000RPM. It's also possible they disconnected the battery. That would reset the ECU and cause the car to behave oddly whilst it relearns a few settings (trying to stall etc). That usually goes after after driving it for a bit. I'd be surprised if they did disconnect the battery for a simple hose swap. You could confirm that the new hose is tightened down, so there's no air leaks. Use carb cleaner around the various hose ends. With the engine idling, if it perks up, you've got a leak, if it makes no difference, it's sealed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
