Ibought a while bak a CAI from ebay and loved the sound it made on our engines
so i got obsessd with the sound so i cut the pipefrom cai to short ram and drove it with short ram w out filter around the block and it was loud as hell when vtec kicked in!! when i put the filter on the sOund wasnt as loud , so i just slapped on the filter onto the throttle body and tht was the loudest vtec evr!! but i dont like the way it looks!!
is the atype of filter tht would sound really loud on my short ram??

r u psting frm ur phn?

LazyAzn

Which intake would you recomemded aem or injen

MrFluffy

If you attach the filter right to the throttle body your going to be sucking in hot air, This will take a signifant amount of life off your engine , and possible cause it to blow !!!

For sound only, just take the intake resonator out.

AndresRivera

Hahahaha yeah i am posting from my blackjack lol

yea i did the filter on the throttle body jus for sound but i got worried about the heat in the intake! and im running Aem dryflow filter

AndresRivera

Where is the intake res located??

victorvu

iTrader: (1)

there is non because you have a short ram. hes talking about the stock intake.

AndresRivera

I remember seeing this EG with a K24 swap and was running a CAI but the end of the pipe was outside of the bumper , but it didnt look like a cone filter it was black and round and had some sort of screen on it! and it was hella loud

Does anyone might know wht it might be?

MrFluffy

a better filter would make it louder like a K&N filter or frame

Rajca

NO, ur way off, u will low some power, but the engine wont blow.

do u have a exhaust? that will make it sound a bit louder.

98JDMCL

Why do you want Vtec so loud?

Its not a rocket, just keep the intake on it and clean your filter every so often. Next time buy a jet.

Just get a different filter

MrFluffy

so your telling me that sucking 200 degree air all day will not harm your engine at all ??

AndresRivera

Wel does anyoneknow wht it mite be tht was on the EG
its a black round thing with a screen at the endof a pipe

o1s

just put pantyhoes and a clamp on your throttle body. it will work well...ish

phee

iTrader: (5)

yes
no
no

wont cause ur engine to blow. just sucks in hot air

phee

iTrader: (5)

not at all. because the cylinder walls are at even higher temps than that. by the time the ait combusts it is already hotter

Rajca

What phee said

iTrader: (6)

turbo filter?

n0rm

iTrader: (6)

MrFluffy

Ok ill agree with that...... but wont sucking in that hot air make it even hotter and there for causing even more wear to the engine ???? than if you were sucking cold air

OP i know what filter you're talking about its the hks or the mushroom filters. I have a blox velocity stack and when vtec kicks it screams.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Velocity stack. Probably looked like this:

AndresRivera

Yep its the velocity stack
iwant one soo bad now lol
i lookedonline and they go for 60 dollars is tht al i need for the intake or does it need a filter
im gonna make mines come out nar the fogs but in tht grill area kinda hidden

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

get a filter that goes on top of the velocity stack. other wise u cant run the velocity stack, well u can, but u cant use ur filter.

OperationDarkie

iTrader: (1)

having the filter that close wont harm the eninge in anyway, the only thing it will do is increase response because the is no medium of pipe for air to flow through, you might lose some torque down low but probably will gain some power in the higher rpm range.

and if the car is moving he wont have to worry about heat, once you are moving the air in the engine bay is slightly warmer than outside of the car. yeah he might get some heatsoak while sitting still, but thats about it.

and you can buy a velocity stack air filter from autozone, yeah I know it sounds crappy but it has decent flow and only costs about 20 bucks. if they have it.

i'll put MONEY on the fact throwing a filter on the tb will LOSE hp and tq...


my2cents:
CAI makes power due to it's length and how the air builds up speed before it hits the tb/manifold, cause the air molecules are in an orderly fashion which makes for greater ease of entry to the motor...

so putting a filter on the tb would ruin that. not to mention that's hot air ur sucking up... yummm

if there was a way to make more power with an intake set-up we'd know about it.

now u can throw a velocity stack on a cai and make more power... so u are getting rid of the filter which is a restriction... but then u can suck up gunk into the motor.

I dunno what tho point of having a filter and velocity stack would be though... i cannot even picture how it would function actually... nor see the relevance

MrFluffy

I put a custom CAI on a friend of mines lancer where the fog light was, it seemed like it was alot louder and he got lot of power. I tryed to put mine in the lower grille area when I built it but its hard and there are to many bends to get any gains from it but if you wanted to take out the fog light put the Velocity stack there and get lots of gains and it would be louder too. but it may be better to just point a filter out that way but be carefull of puddles LOL

they sell the blox velocity stack with the filter i have it on my car let me shoot a picture for you guys. and i believe its about 60 bucks with the filter

victorvu

i got my intake from www.weaksauceparts.com i think you'll have to call them to get the filter and velocity stack but heres how it looks. BTW its a 3'' inlet




and here's how it sounds...

victorvu

iTrader: (1)

btw im running stock piping planning on getting new piping made just havent had time but it should flow a lot better then it is now. I felt a huge difference as soon as i installed it, i tried the aem short ram and it didnt scream or make as much difference as this.

Compared to a CAI, yes. Compared to stock, no.

No. Cold Air Intake. The air is colder, therefore denser. There are more air molecules. More air = more power.

A velocity stack makes a hug difference. Check it:

Velocity stack - air smoothly transitions into a small area.



Regular air filter - air hits a ridge which disrupts the flow before entering the smaller area.



It works with or without a filter.

victorvu

iTrader: (1)

the point of the filter is so nothing goes into your engine. Its a very free flowing filter and the filter is on the outside of the velocity stack. the stack goes into the middle right before the piping. therefore after the air flows pass the filter the velocity stack makes the air more smoothly flowing

^thats what civicdrivr is pointing out

I adjusted an idler adjustment screw or something and made mine a bit louder.

how do you do that?
