The Cold Side Air Intake was the reason the Jass Performance Fixed Headlights were developed for MX5 NA. In a naturally aspirated car it instantly brings the following advantages:
- Reduced Intake Air temperatures, being on the cold side (far from the exhaust manifold as the OEM setup)
- Ambient and below Air Intake temperature levels, due the cold air stream from the Jass Stealth Headlights or TSIs.
- Increased respose, due to the significantly shorter intake tract
- Increased high end power, due to shorter intake tract
- Increased air flow, due to optimised design vs. OEM. Smoother, with less bends and larger diameter.
The kit works only with MX5 MK1/NA with 1.8 engine, due to the smaller size of the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. It is possible to be installed with the Jass Performance Stealth Headlights, as they clear the needed space for the air filter. It is possible to be installed with OEM MX5 NA pop up headlights as well – however the right headlight needs to stay full time open. It cannot be installed with Low Profiles.
If installed with OEM headlights we recommend the Jass Performance TSIs (Turn Signal Intakes) for cool air boost into the air filter.
The kit consists of:
- Silicone air intake, optimised for air flow and clearance from the water hoses.
- Clamps to attach to air intake, MAF and air filter.
- K&N Air filter – the biggest possible filter to fit in the available space
- Breather filter for the rocker cover – two matching colour options available again – black and red.
- MAF Extension Cable (Plug and Play)
The Air intake is supplied partly assembled and the hardware installation is straight forward.
The MAF extension cable has length of 145cm, comes with OEM connectors (male and female, with silicone insulation) and oversized 1.5mm2 wires. It is part of the Jass Performance Cold Side Air Intake kit and its length allows for discrete routing and integration to the cold side intake without overhand.
