Improve Airflow and Throttle Response for Mazda B-Series Lima & Vulcan Engines
Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1998-2001 Mazda B2300, B2500, and B3000 owners running the legendary Lima I4 and Vulcan V6 engine families.
The Problem: The factory intake system on these trucks was engineered for quiet operation, not efficiency. The stock air box on the Vulcan V6 is a massive plastic bottleneck that forces air through restrictive baffles and a thick paper filter. This setup creates significant intake turbulence and heat soak, which robs the engine of potential power and makes the throttle feel sluggish during acceleration.
The Solution: This Performance MAF Adapter kit allows you to bypass the restrictive factory housing entirely. By mounting a high-flow dry cone filter directly to your Mass Air Flow sensor, you provide the Lima I4 with a straight-shot path for cold air. This reduces pumping losses and enables the engine to breathe more naturally, resulting in a more aggressive intake note and better mid-range torque.
Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade
-
Enhanced Intake Velocity: By removing the baffled air box, you allow air to reach the throttle body faster, significantly improving off-the-line response and passing power.
-
High-Efficiency Dry Filter: The included washable dry cone filter provides superior filtration without the need for oil, meaning you won’t have to worry about fouling your sensitive MAF sensor.
-
Precision Fitment: The included MAF adapter is CNC-cut to bolt directly to your factory sensor, ensuring a leak-free seal and an easy 20-minute installation with basic hand tools.
