TheBigCarp321 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Anyone know what a good air/cold air intake would be. I see a lot of em out there. Some that arent cold air, so I am not really sure. Any suggestions? Oh and maybe one that will add about 15hp to the car if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 you're not going to gain 15hp from an intake, despite what the ads may tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98civic Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 thats correct i have the aem v2 cold air intake an it only add 10hp to the dyno sheets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 thats correct i have the aem v2 cold air intake an it only add 10hp to the dyno sheets I'm gonna call bullcrap on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigCarp321 Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 So when people call bullcrap and waste everyones time, do they usually give a reason or do they just want people to know their there. I am actually using this site as a source of information, not to be ignorant. If I want ignorance ill go visit my inlaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hesperiandeathhorse(lol) Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Actually, that's not so far-fetched...It may be possible to gain 10 hp with the addition of a cold-air/ram-air intake. He didn't specify whether the guy had made previous improvements to the engine. My uncle saw an increase of 8.28 whp after purchasing an intake, however the engine was fully dressed. Now if you're talking a completely stock engine with an intake, yeah it's impossible...you might see 3 on average(if that), but when both ends are tweaked on an all motor setup I would imagine that you would possibly see a full 10. But until you get anywhere close to an all-motor setup, I wouldn't even bother with the intake...especially not a cold-air. Save your money for now, keep the dough and spend it on audio equipment or something more relevant to your future. No one will ever know you have it and you will see only minor improvements. Sorry if that isn't what you wanna hear. And to everyone else keep in mind I was only trying to rationalize his statement, I'm not saying that anyone is wrong or that they are talking out of there ass. Just merely that his statement was completely open-ended, which, under assumption could seem like BS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91H22Accord Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 on hondas its very rare to get 10 hp with an intake you can feel the difference but i think its just in my head you probably gain about 3whp with any intake my friend on the other hand has a 01 WS6 Trans Am Ram Air and his crap comes with about 350 stock..he put a intake and that thing probably gained a good 50hp...since its a ram air...this could be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Ram air intakes gains cannot be measured on a dyno, unless it is very high end such as race teams use. (dyno in wind tunnel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91H22Accord Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 ya but his stock ram air had like a huge plastic thing covering the air from coming directly to the throttle body..we ripped al that out so now he has better air flow i was exaggerating about the 50hp but u could feel the difference unlike on hondas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 intake do not do anything except make a cool sound. the only actual dyno proven intake hp gain ive seen is the Typhoon for STi's which made 12whp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaise2gst Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 on an eclipse i saw a injen intake give it 10 or 15 hp it was'nt a ad it was dyno. also don't save your money for radio equipment. the only thing you need to listen to is your engine that's music enough for my ear's.

CleanGSR Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 To say that an intake won't gain any horsepower is just stupid. I've seen various dyno tests in Super Street, HCI, etc, where they have tested different intakes vs. stock on a dyno, and on the same car. There are small horsepower gains from an intake which the AEM V2 is the most. I think it is around 5 hp on a car that already has headers and full exhaust. So an intake will give some power but not a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie1111 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi all, new here. I just installed the V2 yesterday and I can feel the difference in the butt dyno. Previously, most CAI's I've had were just noisey and made you think you were quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigCarp321 Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Alright, since I'm new I hope noone will think this is outta line, but whats a dyno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicesintegra Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 it's were you measure how mmuch horsepower you have. also there's dyno tuning which i would think is you tune it t the rpm's and such. you try to pull as much hp outta of it you can using the dyno changing the air fuel timing all that.

Jayhova Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 AEM v2 hands down maybe gained 3-5 hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie1111 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 The AEM Dyno graph shows a peak of 16 w/ an avg of 8-10 (but not too the wheels). If I had to guess, I'd say about 5 or 6 HP to the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
