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

Optimize Airflow & Throttle Response: Ford Ranger & Mazda B2300 Lima 2.3L Intake

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for 1995–1997 Ford Ranger and Mazda B2300 owners running the legendary Lima 2.3L Inline-4 who want to restore lost performance, improve fuel efficiency during daily driving, and gain a more aggressive engine note.

The Aging Air Box: After nearly three decades on the road, the factory plastic intake tract on your Lima 2.3L has likely become a liability. Between heat-soaked accordion tubes that create massive air turbulence and restrictive paper filters that choke the engine, your truck is struggling to breathe. You step on the gas to merge onto the highway, and the engine feels sluggish and unresponsive because it’s fighting against a vacuum of its own design.

The Engineering Solution: We engineered this Red Cold Air Intake system to replace those brittle factory components with smooth-bore T304 lightweight aluminum piping. By streamlining the path from the high-flow cone filter to the throttle body, we eliminate the turbulence caused by the stock ribbed tubing. This allows the SOHC engine to pull in a higher volume of oxygen-rich air, resulting in a noticeable improvement in throttle snap and a more efficient combustion cycle.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Delivers up to a 10% increase in horsepower and torque by maximizing airflow through the stock manifold, providing a deeper, sportier sound under load.
• The Material Choice: Constructed from mandrel-bent T304 aluminum, unlike inferior generic kits that use thin-walled aluminized steel which heat-soaks and rusts over time.
• The Maintenance Factor: Includes a reusable, washable high-flow cone air filter. Unlike the restrictive paper filters found in big-box stores, this filter can be cleaned and re-oiled for a lifetime of use.
• Precision Fitment: This is a direct bolt-on system utilizing OEM mounting points—no drilling or permanent modifications to your engine bay are required.
