In the long run your motor will suffer. Have you ever cleaned a filter? They trap a lot of ----. I have been running mine with nothing for a couple months now, but I don't care about my motor. I should have a screen over it, but I like living on the edge.

I would suggest getting a filter on it somehow. There has to be a way.

the other fan is now in the way, so i cant put a filter on, i guess maybe if i can get a hold of some more money i can get a del sol rad. and turn the turbo around on the manifold that would definatly work but all i need is Mucho Dinaro. cuz if i turn the turbo around now it will be humpin up on my stock rad.

good point, yeah i have cleaned an air filter they get nasty

I have one all metal one from a 92-95 Civic that is twice as thick as the stock one, and one stock half plastic one from a 92-95 Del Sol I believe. The inlet/outlet are slightly larger than the Civic, but you can still cram them on with some lube.

The metal one is the same size as the plastic, but it is twice as thick.

I'll take $35 shipped for either one.
