Short Ram intake.
So i decided i want to go ahead and buy and short ram intake, but i cant find any that fit my car(1997 2.2 cl).
I read on here somewhere that the accord is identical to my car, but what year accord is the the same? Will the intakes for the accords fit on my Cl?
Thanx,
Tyler

i dont think it matters what kind for the accord, but if it does than EX because they were the only one to have vtec.

but most people dont worry too much about water unless its flooded water to the intake.

SRI is good and easy to do, and also to maintain, and there are no worries of water, even if it splashes up theres the battery to block for it................ as for CAI its a good upgrade for the I4s, and id recomend an AEM Dryflow, its a 'rechargable' filter, and its better than K&N since theres no oil to worry about, with the oil, if it gets splashed, the oil runs and is then useless for filtering, the dryflow wont have that problem.... sure it'll get soggy and what not, but it wont break from my experiences (on brother's Celica)......... I will say this though, an AEM SRI really made my CL scream in VTEC

v2 is pretty quiet to me, my cousin has one on his rsx and it seems that the thick pipe kinda blocks off alot of the sound that a hollow pipe would make. because my intake is like ear piercing loud.............his you can kinda hear it.

Another thing about cold air is that the the piping has to come out on the bottom of the car so when it rains you have to be extrmely careful since if water gets into that then ur rish flooding your engine, the only solution is to buy a bypass valve to protect your engine, which again to me is too much money for the horsepower i would be getting from cai.

^^^^the air intake isnt for cooling purposes, colder inlet temps just result in denser air for a greater fuel/air mixture being forced in........ and with more combustive material to detonate and burn off a cylinder will onlt get hotter....... turbos do want colder air, yes, but thats achieved by means of an intercooler...... yes you can net beter results by routing the turbo piping intake to a colder area... but most dont care... and besides that I think a turbos piping would re-route everything so a existing CAI wouldnt work anyways (Im pretty sure, but dont quote me on that).......... thats why I like Blowers, constant boost and doesnt depend on outside conditions as much as a turbo
if were talking about engine cooling we get into things like hood scoops and what not to force cool outside air directly onto the motor, like my Brothers old 7th gen Celica, its hood scoop took outside air and poured it onto the exhaust manifold...... if you want a cooler engine you can go buy some of that Royal Purple coolant additive, and it does work, I use it in mine. its like 5 bucks a bottle and itll do our car like 5 or 6 times over, atleast
SRI and CAIs all net very little gains for a difference to really be judged by that alone....... it is true though that a CAI will lower low-end torque slightly from what ive seen in other cars.. and really if you think about it, the air wont be that much colder in the end, because the piping passes into the engine bay, the battery, and all that wonderful stuff, metal will resist heat to a point, but it still lets quite a bit in
I will always vote Short ram, its safer (WATER), easier to access for filter cleanings and what not, and SRIs are much cheaper

the Cold air is highly reccomended if you are thinking about turboing ur car since the turbo does need to be cooled and the cold air is good at that.

V2 is suppose to give you the best of both worlds.
and cai doesnt affect turbo since the turbo takes in its own air.

Thanks, i guess the dude that explained that to me was an idiot, he seemed like a reliable souce, he had a pretty sick integra with a gs-r and was working on a turbo. Anyway i live and i learn right
. and thanks for the royal purple coolant. i blew a head gasket on my cl, i'm getting an engine swap, i'm going to be carrying that around. Can i ask your opnion, approximatly how much hp do headers in general ad if any? if so what brand do you reccomend for our cars? (97 cl 2.2)

well I never got a good dyno pass after the header got installed, and I dont feel like it after my magic 1 second 1/4 mi. dissapearing act....... dont ask, please, long story short I installed some pulleys and my 1/4 mile shrunk by about a whole second.... some of my people think the impact that killed the OE crank pulley caused a biger loss and the new one served to pull it back up a bit (step back 2 seconds and get back 1, of sorts).. either way a header will probably net around I wanna say 5-10HP, all assuming it has a good catback to back it all up(no pun intended)... im personally using an el cheapo header off eBay for the Accord... works nicely with no problems... whichever path you go you gotta remember that you HAVE TO pick the kit for the 97 Accord EX, because there is a difference between the EX motor and the DX/LX motors
and im sorry to say that most kids with Civics and Integras arent TYPICALLY that inteligent, they go by trends and all that crap out there.... besides a real Integra driver doesnt settle for a mere GS-R swap they go for the full ITR while theyre at it
