Welcome to the site!! I love my injen intake! I was actually one of the first owners to post a dyno with a before and after. I was wondering though....is injen planning on making an exaust system for the TSX?? I did see you had a few for other cars.

 

Thanks for taking the time Ray.

Would it be possible to provide us with the MSRP for the Injen Cold Air Intake in Canada?

 

Welcome welcome

enjoying your great product!

 

That might be on the drawing boards later on this year.

 

This tool would help you out wit that request.....You can use the MSPR from our site, then punch it into this site.

Welcome Ray -- It was really great to see some before/after user dynos that matched up identically with the dynos yoru company provided. Lots of respect for that. Does your company every do any kind of carb certification on your products?

 

yes, our intake kits are either CARB approved or Pending approval.

 

Ray, this has been discussed a number of times in the past on this forum but I'd like to get an answer from the horse's mouth... Under what conditions would the CAI injest water into the engine? Does it have to be fully submerged (as in water up to the bumper) or would a heavy rain be enough?

 

That's a good question...... and here is another.......In the event that the Inake does NOT get certified, then do we all get the parts to fix it, or replacement intakes? There was one part that needed to be removed that is not removed with most other intakes due to the CARB certification!

 

I was wondering if you could post pics of the Injen Engine Dress-up parts for the tsx and there prices Thanks

 

The CAI must be fully submerged to injest water and hydrolock and engine.

 

I wonder if anyone can personally claim to have had this problem. Or even physically know someone who has hydrolocked the engine. If you need to be fully submerged in water, then there should be very very few cases of this ever happening. We can speculate on what it takes to hydrolock, but I would feel much better having a real life example to back up our speculation.

 

I know someone who has hydrolocked an engine. Although he was driving a Chevy Suburban through a creek...

 

Noticed you missed my question.....is that a hint?

 

I was wondering if you could post pics of the Injen Engine Dress-up parts for the tsx and there prices Thanks

 

i know someone with a '91 integra that hydrolocked his engine a few years back....supposingly the mechanic rebuilt the engine and it ran better then b4 the hydrolock

 

Ray,is the bypass-valvue really needed?

 

And do you know under exactly what conditions the engine hydrolocked?

 

he had an AEM CAI without the bypass valve...supposingly tried to drive thru a 1 feet of water, not sure if the CAI was fully submerged or not...he just said he heard a whoosing liquid sound and the engine just stalled

 

Why the hell would he do that?

I drove through all kinds of rain storms with my AEM CAI and not a problem.

 

the dress up parts are the same for the TSX and RSX xcept for the intake manifold cover(the big shiny piece).




sparkplug wire cover : IC1475P MSRP: $120.00
oil cap: IO1000P MSRP: $55.00

these prices are MSRP. so call your local dealer to see how much they sell it for =)

 

honestly, its a nice safe guard but just as long as care is taken in the rain and the filter is not completly submerged, you will be fine.

 

yikes. Driving through 1 foot of water with a CAI is just as dumb as driving through 3 feet of water without one.

 

well not all roads have good drainage...so not much you can do if you're stuck in traffic and all the other cars in front of you have already gone thru with ppl honking at you while you're double guessing if you could make it or not...it was rt. 1 in NJ by the newark area...if you've been there during rush hr you'll know what i mean

 

does bypass hurt performance?

 

Well I won't damage my engine just to satisfy the next person behind me.

Although, you could convert the two-piece Injen into a snorkel pretty easy, Hell, then you could go through 3 feet of water!

 

Those dress up pieces look gay to me.....to bling bling lookin! Looks like something you'd stick in an old chevy or some hot rod, not an import. My 2 cents anyways!

 

well if you took out the manifold cover, that would be less bling....LOL....

 

Sorry i missed that...the answer is: No Worries, its WILL pass, no problem....

 

Ironically, this happened to my friends Mazda 6s last night. Odd.

What happened is he was driving along in the rain and hit a -BIG- puddle. Like, easily a foot deep. His CAI sucked the water up like a straw and his car died.

Took it in thie shop today. Initial quote from the dealership is $6,000 in parts, no estimate on the labor yet. He's going to file a comp. claim through his insurance, since the car is only about 9 months old, it wont be totalled.

There was water in all six cylinders and the entire oil system. So basically an entire engine rebuild is needed. Not too fun.

 

Do you know how low is the air filter from the ground?

 

I'll be amazed if insurance will cover this. Usually they will deny the claim if they find that the damage was caused by an aftermarket part that isn't on the plan.

 

the answer is 15 inches....

The answer is always 15 inches!

 

you know it!
