Cold Air Intake for Ford Ranger Mazda B2500 (1998-2001) 2.5L Engine

Improve Throttle Response and Airflow for Your Ford Ranger Lima 2.5L

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series owners running the 2.5L Lima I4 engine who want to improve their truck’s efficiency and mid-range pulling power.

The Problem: The factory airbox on the Lima 2.5L is a massive bottleneck. Designed primarily for sound suppression rather than flow, the stock plastic assembly uses restrictive baffles and corrugated tubing that creates turbulence. This setup starves the SOHC head of air, especially when you are merging onto highways or hauling a load.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to eliminate the factory design flaws of the 2.5L Lima, replacing the stock restriction with a smooth-bore, mandrel-bent pipe. By providing a more direct path for oxygen-rich air to reach the throttle body, we ensure your engine doesn’t have to work as hard to breathe, delivering more consistent performance across the entire powerband.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Intake Velocity: The high-flow cone filter and aluminum piping reduce air resistance, allowing for faster cylinder filling and sharper throttle response.
• Rugged Durability: Unlike the factory plastic which can crack or warp over time due to engine bay heat, our mandrel-bent piping is built to withstand the heat cycles of a hard-working truck.
• Direct Bolt-On Fit: No cutting or welding required. This system uses existing mounting points for a clean, professional install that can be completed in your driveway with basic hand tools.
