alright i just got my first car, a 1990 dodge daytona ES with the 3.0 V6. shes finally running good and i was looking to add a little horse power and have seen some stuff online about replacing the air box with the k & n cone filter from a 5 liter mustang and was wondering if anyone knows if this really helps and if it does how would i go about doing the swap. if anyone can help that would be great.
thanks

well im not to sure about that mustang filter thing but i have the same car and before i made a custom air intake pipe i just put the cone filter at the end of the stock (rubber) pipe and just took the air box out .. some people call it ram air because it isnt gettin mych cold air but it works untell u get a diff pipe

alright i see what your saying thank you. now when i take off the air box what should i do about the hose connected to the crank case vent? do i just plug it orlet it hang or is the something special i need to do?
thanks for the help

well for that i just have it plugged .. ya it makes your check engin light come on but thats not a big deal... for my stom pipe i got made it takes the place of even the air scoop right beside your batt and goes down to the hole (vent) in front bumper ...and in my eyes a daytona is to good to have something from a mustang in it ... buttry that and see howyou like it ..... goodluck

oops sorry i ld u i have it plugged .. i do but it has a little filter plugged on the end of that hose..ill try and fnd my dig cam and take a pic to post here .... good luck

if you could get a pic that would be great. oh and where would i look to find a filter like that or do i have to make it some how? thank you so much you've been awesome

um well i got mine through a friend ...but if u have like part source or sumthin of the sort out there im sure they willbe able to order one.. and yes when i get home from work ill find my cam and take a pic for you

alright i'll start lookin thank you again for all the help

not a problem... ill work on gettein that pic for you to so keep in touch

so do you know of any other cheap ways to help out this engine

i know of a couple actualy . but its up to u if u eally wanna do them....efore i had a good engh job to buy things for it just tweeked it ou in ways that u ally shouldent but it worked and didnt mess noth up at all

and im sorry about the ypin errors ...my key board just sux keys dont work some times

lol tis fine but yah if they're cheap enough i might try them out, what you got in mind?

so would it be called a crank case vent filter? i have no idea what to call it

ive been interested in adding some horse to my 3.0 too, i gotta see a pic of this ram air lol it sux when u dont have enough $$$ to do anything really special but lil tweaks so i need some ideas

me too one day i'll be rich and wont need to worry bout it but for now the cheaper the better

Best source for cheap, easy N/A mods is http://www.turbododge.com/forums/f69/The section is called turbo 3.0, but there is lots of people who are modding their 3.0 cars with great success!

As for the crackcase vent, I would highly recomend getting a generic aftermarket filter for it, if you just plug it it will let pressure build up inside the engine (not very good!). http://www.forwardmotioninc.com/html/catalog/page12.html
