AEM intakes

[nittanys1]

ok so if i do that it will be "all good" but will doing this cause any harm to any other parts of my car? And should i remove all three chips or just the hazzard and the ECU?

6.1hp is a pretty darn good gain for a bolt on. I doubt you'll see that much from any other single bolt on. This stuff is a lot harder and a lot more expensive then most people think...

Follow these steps:

let the car warm up for 5-10 minutes, then turn off the car. Locate the Back Up fuse (7.5 amps) in the underhood fuse box and remove it for 5 minutes. Replace the fuse, and start the car and let it idle for a few minutes without touching the gas pedal. Turn off the car, restart it, and drive it hard! This tip, which only works on Honda and other cars with speed-density fuel injection, resets the computer and allows it to "re-learn" the engine with the new modification in place. Good for a few extra horsepower.

i got this from the old PH. the only down side is that you will lose your presets on your radio and you will have to reset your clock.

Actually that same basic procedure works on Mustangs, SD or MAF equipped.

the aem cai is the only mod i have on my car. the thing is that, the 6.1 hp gain wasen't from my car. it was from this other guy's car off www.accordv6.com. it might be different for yours since not all dynos are the same and cars too. he has a v6 2001 accord.

oh ok! I think the gains on a V6 arent that high as on a normal engine.

6.1 isnt much for a AEM CAI- if u have a stock setup u should really feel the difference between an AEM and a stock one. Btw there are some dynos which are showing very clearly that the normal gain is between 8- 15 hp, depending on the engine, the engine condition and a lot of other facts. I know that some ppl are gaining 20hp from it [i think it was on a B16A - stock setup].

[nittanys1]

Predator do you happend to know where those dynos are?

Just some threads below- but heres the link:

AHH yeah!!! I can't wait till I get the AEM CAI in so I can hook-up that bad boy and see what it feels like, Thanks for the Dyno!!

I wonder if it´ll be the same for a 5th gen Prelude?? Any infos about that, bros?

[xtreme419]

dude trust me. getting a cai or any other aftermarket intake is better than your stock one.

5g lude has a stock CAI! So any gains will probably be less.

So according to the last link an Iceman CAI would be the better choice if I don´t want to lose power anywhere even if the gains won´t be as high as with the AEM CAI?

Remember, those were subjective opinions by two different people.
From everything I've heard, you'll be pretty happy with either.
