why not just build an intake to come up out of the hood and put a crap load of stickers on the piping. im sure that would kick up your hp at least 100. and get you pulled over alot more. >.<

but seriously i have a K&N FIPK the name is stupid cuz not much makes it a fuel injected performance kit. I noticed it sounds like a supercharger spooling up. but not in a good way more anoying i would say. ive been looking for the weapon intake but i cant seem to find it. does anyone have a link for me?

does it matter on the cleaning kit i use on my intake?

[gearbox]

ya it does. foam vs cotton gauze vs synthetic paper all have very different properties and using the wrong cleaner and oil will destroy the filter.

So CAI or short ram intake?

Average power gain from stock?
Power gain after getting headers, and exhaust system, or some other decent mods?

How bout a short cold air intake?! XD !!!

I like this post: CAI/SRI First Mod? No..

What is Weapon R (new to the civic forums, and I saw a couple threads about intakes, and people say they have the weapon R already), is it like the Weapon X?

the engine lights on because the engine is running rich that was wat mine was just disconnect the battery for 15 min and then start it and let it run for 10 and shut it off and start it up one more time for a couple of sec and you should be set

I have heard varying things when it comes to short ram intakes. Some say the pipe is short so it results in better intake pressure (BS) and others say that a short ram intake is basically for sound only. I can see where that would be true seeing as how it sucks up hot air from the engine bay. What are your thoughts in the matter TRIZ?

[gearbox]

its only a few hp difference. the short pipe will not significantly affect incoming air temp. and since the filter is generally located away from the engine, usually hot air wont be a problem with car moving.

well i definitely agree with you on the dumbasses who ask these dumbass questions... but you really shouldnt tell people to stop asking... thats how people learn in the first place and if they never learn, they'll never stop asking! its a vicious circle i know.

[TRIZ]

^^ People will ask and then read the answer.. why not read the answer to the same question that someone else asked? To find it all they have to do is search. And to search, one needs motivation. Without motivation they wont learn. No spoon feeding around here.

eh, w/e
