cold air intake

tater88 · 04-20-2010, 09:35 PM

this might be an over post, dont have time to do my homework. got the old '85 ezgo up and running. not too impressed with the intake. has anyone done a cold air intake on one? the engine compartment gets hotter than hell and going out the wheel well will suck gravel dust where I drive. what about shooting out the back? just trying to get a head start on this one

Never seen one "shooting out the back", but some run it through the front firewall like on a Workhorse and use dyer hose..

See the vent? (out of the heat & dust)

I just installed a cold air intake on my 93 EZGo 2 Cycle a few weeks back. I have no pictures but if needed I can try and get them in a few weeks when I get back to the cart.

Anyway, this is what I did for mine...on the passenger side, inside the compartment there was a large canister with a filter inside it but the intake was only the size of a nickel. I removed the old housing and the 90-degree tube and bracket that held it to the bottom of the cart. I removed the oil injection tank and now I pre-mix. With all this new room I was able to install a full size car battery in a battery box. Now, I used the existing (stock) black intake flex hose and rotated it so it's intake opening was against the plastic of the bagwell. I used a 2" hole saw to cut the hole then used the old 90-degree tube from the old air intake bracket from the bagwell in. The hose clamp holds the 90 tight to the wall and tight to the intake hose. Then I just added a K&N filter and Precharger to keep the filter clean. The filter site nicely centered under my back seat, protected from possible rain and dirt. It is louder but I know it is getting clean cool air now. I don't know if I got performance gains because I did so much to the cart all at the same time. It does look **** cool though.

thanks tguellich.
Thats exactly what I was planning to do. Just wanted to see if any one has tried it yet. OEM was a crappy set up. haven't seen too many engineers that could pour piss out of a boot and figured I could do better
