cold air vs. short ram

[kkamakasi]

is there difference between cold air intake and short ram intake?
i dunno what the difference (if any) is...
and the AEM V2 ...what is that? is that the cold air or the short ram?

[jwad1584]

hey dude,

the AEM V2, well i dont know the specifications, but it is just a more advance cold air system yielding about 1 more horsepower than the original cold air...and yes there is a huge diff. b/w CAI and S/R
CAI: about 21 horses to the wheels/ 5.4 lbs torque
S/R: about 6 horse and 4 lbs torque

so yeah the CAI is a lot better go with that for the extra 50 bucks... but installation is kind of a bitch...but it's worth it

CAI - Sucks air from under the car near the wheels. May suck up water when going through a puddle especially without bypass valve. More hp gain.

S/R - Easier installation. "May" loose hp because may take in hot air from engine bay.

i know k20's respond well to mods...but 20+ horses to the wheels from an intake alone is insane. I mean...its hard enough getting 20 to the wheels from a complete i/h/e setup.

somebody explain

I wanted to say the same thing but I wasnt too sure how much hp the I/H/E combo will add to the K20. I was thinking more like 10-15 hp to the wheels with the I/H/E.

[jwad1584]

there was a magazine review of CAI for the rsx - s and the AEM put out 20.7 to the wheels the best overall!

where do you think i came out with that number... just making up the decimal places??

well take it easy

Any link to it? What magazine? What month?

[jwad1584]

it was in Import Tuners MAY 2003...they did a test on 10 or so different intake systems and AEM came out on top by about 1 horse on the DC Sports...

ps...how do you guys get your pic of your car on here, and all of your mods and stuff...just to let others know how badass your car is?

thanks,

Josh

Yeah

I got 25(Intake) + 35(Pulley) + 25(Headers) + 25(High Ratio Rockers) + 15(Custom 2.5" Exhaust) + 3(180 Thermostat) + 3(Stiffer Motor Mounts) + 3(Header Wrap) + 3(Spark Plug Boot Protectors) +3(Weight Reduction)

So I should have 400HP!!!

[Crippy]

I'm full of shit? your driving a 93 civic so.. your driving a piece of shit..

enough said...

yes you do get 20.7 horses at the wheels... it has been tested, you deusch bag!

why would i make that up...it would be pointless and a waste of my time... oh yeah my exhaust give me 30 horses...now im f/ing kidding it gives it about 4-6 SHUT UP

Here is the summation of the dyno information from the article he is talking about:




That is amazing that an NA engine would gain that much from an intake.

[boosted k20]

He's not bullshitting you. If you were on top of your game like he is u would realize that the RSX loves cold air. In the two cold air intakes they (Honda Tuning magazine and Import Tuner) tested the AEM cold air gained a little over 20 horses TO THE WHEELS!!!! and the other cold air intake, not sure which company, i think K&N, put out 19 HP TO THE WHEELS!
And forget about forced induction.... thats a whole other story. RSX's love to be force fed. check out this company, they got some killer rsx's
www.cybernationmotorsports.com
They got a Type S run n 12 lb's of boost on STOCK internals that does 12.5 on the 1/4 mile with slicks!
