Man.... if a Civic had to start from 0 MPH in 3rd, the car wouldnt even be moving.

HoldDaMayo is an unknown quantity at this point

it would be hard to know you're at full throttle in 3rd until about 3500ish RPM's where flooring it won't downshift into 2nd...

The "stock" dyno looks like what a Lx with header and exhaust throws down

I think the gain for the intake is accurate, but there has to be more mods done. I've seen LX dynos at 85-90whp stock.

That dyno must have been taken at the crank and not the wheels. Dyno of an auto LX to the wheels is around 90hp and with CAI is probally around 91hp. This is based on other posts I have read in the past.

That big peak from 4k to 5k looks like the intake is producing resonant supercharging of the intake charge. I would have thought the plenum would have disrupted any resonance in the CAI, but the torque curve shows that something is going on.

This makes me wonder whether we could tune intake lengths to move that torque curve around. I wonder if the torque curve for the SRI moves the turque curve up closer to redline due to its higher frequency resonance. If so, we should be able to tune the intake length to put the torque where we want it...

sorry to bring this back from the dead but this dyno is wrong. it's the same as the one from Injen's website for the civic EX 96-98.

Someone photochop'd!

Exactly, I have the short ram, would love to compare it with the "cold" air version AEM makes (V2). I hate ppl who say what a waste of money, the sound of it is fun enough. I will never grow up for a reason.

as I said over 1/2 year ago.... odd! no AUTO LX stock is putting down 111WHP.... heck, no stock 5 speed LX is going to get that either.... but it's explained already. ~4WHP isnt bad.
