    intake

    ok so i was looking for a front mount intake for my civic project car and i ran across one for a 94-97 accord, does anyone have one of these or heard any new on them i know a big issue would be hydro lock, but it comes with a plastic shield to cover the filter while driving in rain plus im putting a bypass on it

    By the "front mount intake", do you mean one of those intakes designed to look like an intercooler?

      They are pointless, imo. You are better off with a true CAI. But, you still run the risk of hydrolocking the motor.

      Also, I don't think a 94-97 Accord intake would fit either.

      I would suggest getting a short ram made for your Civic.

        No.



        If you want one of those, I suggest you buy a Tornado and a fake BOV sound maker to go with it.

          Yup. Those are the ones I've been seeing. A couple Del Sols and Integras have them around here. It's the cool thing I suppose. I like to act turboed too.

            It's funny how the non-turbo cars like to look turbo.. and then you get guys like chessboxer that paint their intercoolers black.

                  I've got to keep people unsuspecting of what's about to happen to them!

                  And on topic, I dont think I would get that, as I think it is rather silly, but it is your car, so do what you want. Also, I had to reroute my p/s cooler to fit my ic, and that was AFTER I hacked the f- out of my bumper, so chances are, you might have to hack the inside of your bumper for a fake fmic, and thus, I wouldnt do it.

                      the question has actually not one thing to do with looks but function. a cai is mounted in the bumper with no direct flow, a sri is mounted under the hood with heat radiating from the engine once again with no direct flow, would this not pull in cooler air, at a more rapid rate, i dont want it to look like a fmic or pretend to have a turbo, i wanted to know if it would funtion any better than than the other two (sri or cai) options.

                        The theory makes sense, but no... it wouldn't pull in more air. In fact, it might actually pull in less. Next time you're a passenger, stick your head out the window at 50mph. You'll find that it's not easy to breathe. That's because the air is moving quickly around your head, not finding it's way into the holes in your face. Having a CAI in the wheel well is drawing in ambient air, much like when you breathe inside the car... so when it sucks, it sucks air. A short ram intake does take in hotter air... but when the car is moving, the air under the hood is moving as well. It's not THAT hot under there.

                          Great explanation... couldn't do it better myself!

                            Better than my previous comment, eh?

                            For the record, I didn't know that he was ACTUALLY asking about that... my post above was rather mean in hindsight, wvcb7, and I do apologize.


                            That sort of thing is a gimmick, much like the Tornado... it makes sense in marketing, and the idea SEEMS sound... but it really isn't.
