yes, I'd agree with Blu Civi b/c some of my friends said that it increase more air from Intercooler and also increase power even if you dont have turbo..you could replace a intercooler instead of cold air intake

sorry ..wrong quote..of ghost..should be blu civic

Doesnt the turbo suck a shitload of air through the intercooler which is why it cools off so much air? If it was n/a I dont think you would feel anything because the throttle body alone isnt going to suck in that much to make a difference. A waste it would be.

The throttle body doesn't do any of the "sucking", it's the vacuum created from the cylinders pulling down while the intake valves are open. A turbo pulls in more air, but that doesn't necessarily make it colder. The intercooler is up front because cold air low to the ground goes blasting through it, making the actual pipe cooler, which makes the air inside cooler and denser. The reason the little tubes through the front mount are so small is because that makes less surface area to cool.

A good analogy is ice. Put a little ice cube tray in the freezer, next to a bucket of water and see which one freezes first.. obviously the little cubes will. Now look at little tubes compared to one big tube and do the math.

An intercooler will make the incoming air cooler whether turbocharged or not, but you'll see hardly any gains w/out a turbo because n/a you're not sucking in nearly as much air for it to make a difference. It's like the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram. The short ram pulls in warm air, the cold air pulls in cooler air, and there's only a difference of like 2hp.

so the best is to get a AEM cold air intake for my Crx?

[Ricochet]

Yes. No more questions on this, just get an AEM cold air intake.

[Spectre927]

You gotta keep it in lamens for him(like the analogy), alll those big words wont make anysense to him. BUt you explained it pretty well.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT THREAD, I was saying that in my opinion an intercooler is a waste with out a turbo because w/o the boost to force the air through the intercooler the restriction ofthe core would outweigh the the benifit of cooler air ??????????

[CrXb18c1]

oh yeah..can i only get the AEM air filter? or K&N?

[Ricochet]

All AEM intakes come with K&N filters.

i love reading threads started by this guy. in every one of them, there is always an argument and random outbursts. good stuff.
