Cold Air Intake for Ford Ranger/ Mazda B2300 (1995-1997) 2.3L Engine Blue

Unlock the Breathing Potential of Your Ford Ranger & Lima 2.3L Engine

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series owners running the legendary 2.3L Lima engine family between 1995 and 1997. This is for the owner who wants to move beyond the "parts runner" feel and get actual throttle response out of their SOHC four-cylinder.

The Problem: The stock intake on the Lima 2.3L was designed for silence, not flow. It uses a restrictive plastic airbox and accordion-style rubber tubing that creates massive air turbulence. This "baffled" design forces your engine to work harder just to breathe, which is why these trucks often feel sluggish when merging or hauling a light load.

The Solution: This Cold Air Intake replaces the entire factory bottleneck with smooth-bore T304 aluminum piping. By streamlining the air path and using a high-flow blue media filter, we eliminate the vacuum effect found in the stock setup. We engineered this part to correct the factory design flaws of the Lima 2.3L, delivering reliable performance and a much-needed increase in efficiency.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Optimized Airflow: The mandrel-bent T304 aluminum piping provides a straight-shot path to the intake manifold, resulting in gains of up to 10% in horsepower and torque by reducing pumping losses.
• Lifetime Filtration: Includes a high-performance, washable blue cotton-gauze filter. It’s the last filter you’ll ever buy, only requiring a cleaning every 50,000 miles depending on your driving environment.
• True Bolt-On Fit: No cutting, welding, or drilling required. This kit uses factory mounting points and is compatible with your stock sensors, ensuring you don’t trigger a Check Engine Light.
