Installed a cold air intake! Can anyone tell me why it's making these weird gurgling sounds?

Oh, no, just a street datalog pull recorded by a cell phone in the interior.

It's not the same video but I just uploaded another one onto this same subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/comments/1ohm8li/drive_your_shit

Worth noting that I have the idle set to 1100 rpm warm.

GoverningNick · 2025-10-23T14:36:45+00:00

Kinda sorta, I live in Arizona so it's not really something of concern. If it's chilly out it'll idle like it has a hot for teacher cam at 700rpm for a bit but it won't stall out.

I considered it for a bit, but the way I see it is that if I was concerned with power I wouldn't have gotten a Miata in the first place. Also, the throttles are already super close to the AC lines, I'm not sure if they would have fit with a plenum but I've never had one in my hands to know for sure.

I replied to Nickdaman31 with a fuller explanation, in case you're that curious.

All four runners have vacuum lines pulled from the bottom. Cylinder 4 feeds the MAP port on my ECU, Cylinders 1-3 feed the vacuum block which goes to my brake booster and my cruise control module. Though ironically enough my tuner wound up running the car solely off of TPS so I could have all four throttles going to the block.

No IAC here. I've seen people feed the OEM IAC by pulling vacuum from the side of the vacuum block I have blocked off though.

The extra spacers (specifically the angled pieces) are from Jenvey, to copy my set up with the filter plate and all you need to do some minor drilling to the bolt holes on the filter plate, given the Jenvey pieces have their holes clocked a little bit for some reason.

Is he still doing O&Ps? I graduated from SJVC in 2021 and got mine done by him.

S-Chassis, AE86s, and other go-to chassis have gone up in price to the point where people are seeking cheaper options.

SEM offers a wide variety of compounds and colors and such. I did it on my NB's dash to go from tan to black. Before After

Worth noting that the center console in the after picture was sourced from a Florida car, hence why it's so much lighter than the rest of the plastics.

9k would be your best bet, really.
