You need a Renix air box.

Your best bet is the for sale section, you may need 25 posts to create a "wanted" thread.

im going to look around in there havent had much luck anywhere else and its causing ALOT of problems for my engine i down have good vacuum on any part of the airbox so its causing my engine to idle wayyyy too high about 3000rpm and i have to fight with the throttle to get it back down to around 800rpm which overheats my engine alot and i cant afford to replace and seals or gaskets right now

87 to 90 will fit. And I'll bet the lack of the airbox is NOT causing the 3000 RPM idle.

i used the bottom from a 99 and the top from a 96 in my renix.
i think the air tube is also from the 96.
i had to go this route when i installed my snorkel. only because the air intake on the front of the box was longer so the snorkel tube would fit snug while the top from the 96 had the proper ccv/breather hook ups.

i fought to get it in there, the air tube was too long and not very flexy, but with some brute force, and some help from a heat gun, she's in.
hardest part was snapping the top back on.

so you're not at a total loss.

Man you are all starting to confuse me lol which o i use lol idk if i have ho or renix mostly because idk what they are i need something that i can take this out and put another in without "making it fir" hassels and as for the guy that said thats not making my car idle high my mechanic told me because of all the cracks and broken parts of my airbox theres no vacuum and when your vacuum is gone it idles higher and it is also over compensating for the lack of air so its even higher plus my fuel filter is gunked so its not getting the right ammount of gas either so when i fight with the accelerator to get it to go down im pretty much trying to force the gas through the filter and get the best seal on the airbox and tube would pics help i can get some pics and maybe a vid if my idle problem if that can help anyone help me but the fact remains i still need an airbox and 2 hoses i want to offroad and i cant afford to get dirt or mud into my intake manifold
