How many of you received and installed your Iceboxes yet?

I got mine today and hope to have it installed by noon tomorrow.

 

Jeff,

You planning on doing a Dyno anytime soon with the icebox?

 

Eric,

Not a bad idea. I'll have to find one in Fresno or maybe the next time I'm up north.

The bad news is that I won't be installing today. Looks like they sent me the wrong kit. I've got the one for the TL-S and CL-S auto in my paws right now. Don't know what the difference is between the TL-S and TL-P kit but there must be something.

 

How much is it again?

 

I paid $240 from Dean.

 

How much is installation or it depends on the place installing it?

Any dynos?

 

One guy on the CL site said that he got 16 hp and 16 ft lbs of torque at 3500 RPM on a type S motor. Nobody's seen dyno's yet though. I'm hoping for at least 8-10 HP and if it kicks in at 3500, even better.

I'm going to install myself. Should be a couple of hours to install at most so depending on labor rate, could be 1-2 hundred.

 

The diff of the TLS vs the TLP is the inlet to the throttle body is 3" vs the 2.75" of the TLP.. so I guess you'll have to wait until the right one comes..

 

Or you can try to sell it locally...

 

Good point. Know anyone interested.

 

meeee but im in nj hehe

 

Guys get that fawking intake like its going out of style that is the best mod up to date since the headers. I believe that this intake will give considerable performance cause I have it installed and Comptech could be selling these for a lot more believe me. This intake will blow away the AEM and whatever else is out there. Trust me I don't even have headers and I feel that confident in this product that I think the Icebox and my SSR comps. will give a CL-S with headers a run for its money.

 

Is that $240 shipped?:ar15:

 

Could of saved yourself the hassel, and supported the site, and ordered it here.
You would of gotten the correct one

 

How about some info about where it mounts? The pic for it being sold on this site shows it in the engine bay of a Honda, not the TL. Does it go way down underneath like all the other CAI, and if so, is it as susceptible to water splashing up underneath? Thats the only reason i never put on a CAI to begin with, because i dont live in an all year round sunny climate and I have heard about the possible problems with some of them getting soaked.

 

<bumped>

Come on, can anyone give me some info to answer my question posted above? Pleez....

 

It goes exactly where your stock box goes.

 

As BDI said, it replaces the stock air box. The Ice Box pulls cold air in from the left fenderwell and goes up to the Ice Box which sits in exactly the same place as the stock air box. A cone filter sits inside of the Ice Box and is piped to the throttle body. Because the cone filter sits inside of the Ice Box, it's like having a bypass valve to keep the water from getting to the engine. You would have to push enough water into the Ice Box to fill the chamber before you would be able to suck in water (possible but highly unlikely) Reviews so far have been positive. Less noise than the CAI with similar HP gains. Filter is also easier to service.

 

hey guys,

anyone have pictures of their newly installed comptech iceboxes in their TL-S?

ive seen pics of the icebox itself in a couple of places and am confused on if the piping is chrome or oem black. ive seen both.

TL & CL will be the same (Same kit)

 

What bolts are they talking about? My Icebox should be here in a week or so and I have a TL. So I guess I need to buy some bolts from Acura?
