Decrease In Performance After Intake ?

[93SM4_CB7]

Got one off a website , and feel like instead of a increase i just added something thats decreasing hp (motor performance )

is this possibe ?

What is it short ram? Cold air? are all your vacuum lines hooked up right? Did reset your ECU?

doubtful it's a decrease, mostly all those things do is make more noise.

theres was only one line that i didnt connect its a line (hose) that came over the throddle that was to small to connect to the "cold air intake" so i purchased a little cone shape filter to place over that one ..

it was a 20$ 92-96 prelude inttake that was posted up on one forums

It's all in your head.

Let's give the guy some credit. Look, if it doesn't feel right, then take it apart and check to see if you put it together right. Take the filter off and make sure you can see daylight from the other end. Make sure nothing is restricting the throttlebody. If everything looks ok, then you might want to look somewhere else for your performance problems. Let us know what you find out. Good luck.

Make sure all your vacumm connections are where they are suppose to be. Pull the filter off make sure it's clean. Then reset the ECU and if you dont see the difference then something else is wrong.

Adding airflow mods such as an intake, header, or exhaust will increase top end power... and often decrease low-end power. Your car will feel weaker in the lower RPM range.

Ok see now that make a sense . but i think ill sticl with the low-end power .. but i deff will post results of the change ..

short-ram is usually good for low end. Now, if you got a cold-air, you might have the same problem I did. I ordered a cold-air intake off ebay, which the piping was supposed to be 3", but it was a little less than 2 1/4", and my car wasn't getting enough air, so it would bog a little when I gave it gas. Especially on the highway, going up hills at 65-70mph, and giving it just enough gas to go up them in overdrive, and my car bogged. Threw that shit in the trash. I put the same filter that was on my short-ram, onto my cold-air with 2 extra rubber pieces to put it on since the piping was so small. The piping was definitely too small. My top end sucked too, which took forever to find out, since it took forever to get to 6k rpms.

If you want low end power, you're driving the wrong car.

lol Oops ..haha
