Performance Air Intake for Kia Sephia (1996-2004) 1.6L 1.8L Engines

Optimize Your Kia Sephia’s Mazda B-Series Engine with High-Flow Induction

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1996-2004 Kia Sephia owners running the Mazda-derived B-Series engine family (1.6L B6 and 1.8L BP).

The Problem: The stock intake system on the B-Series engine is built with massive baffles and corrugated rubber tubing designed for sound suppression rather than airflow. This creates internal turbulence and air-path resistance that chokes the engine during acceleration, preventing it from breathing efficiently at higher RPMs.

The Solution: We replaced the restrictive factory air box with a high-flow T304 aluminum induction system. This kit corrects the factory design flaws by streamlining the air path to the throttle body, allowing your engine to pull in a higher volume of oxygen with significantly less effort, improving thermal efficiency and throttle sensitivity.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Power Delivery: Increases horsepower and torque by up to 10% by reducing intake vacuum restriction.
• Premium T304 Construction: Built with lightweight T304 aluminum piping that dissipates heat faster than factory plastic, helping to keep intake temperatures stable.
• Zero-Waste Filtration: Includes a high-flow, washable synthetic filter that only requires maintenance every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for paper filter replacements.
