one word...

AMAZING, kinda a nice low bass note up to 3000 then it becomes a bit more high pitched and louder. then when vtec kicks in at around 6000rpm it growls really loud, no words to describe it, except its so nice!!! sounds like a car from fast and the furious, jsut needs that buddy club zaust!!

Fitted it in 15mins this mornign! sister got it for me for xmas. Get my 30mm lowering springs next week too jsut need that zaust now!!

Merry xmas all!

[Claudius]

Damn, you're lucky you have a sister like that. My brother got me a big piece of ham. You read that right, a piece of ham! Smoked ham, from Spain. One of those whole legs all the bars in Spain have got. I have flip smoked ham till Easter, now!

Tell your sister that I said she's cool

Oh, btw, did you know that the HKS SPF sucks in hot air from the engine bay? (just jealous, no big deal once you're moving)

We need sounds clips

[Annihilation]

hehe i wish i could get osund clips... i may see if i can.. have to be in a few weeks though get the ole digi cam off my uncle and take it for a spin.

heh claudius, i know it does but a cold feed one is jsut restircting in the end cos of the pipe size. so aslong as we are movin its got the cool air, but just beneath where it is mounted u can see the road so i recon it has some cool air when needed. also i noticed the engine doesnt get that hot, well not compared to my fiesta did

btw nice ham

Thanks.

Agree, does your make a *hiss* or *swish* noise when it hit's the VTEC at 5,500 - 6000 RPM? bit like a dump valve... because I like to lick cows udders and it's sh**ing me up , nevermind scaring the grannies I'm scaring myself . Just hope it's normal and it's not something I've done incorrectly when installing it

[Annihilation]

mate as it switches cam lobe profiles it makes a growl then a f+f noise up to 8000 but yes it does but u can ahrdly hear it, its due to the other cam lobe taking in a lot more air, hence the sucking hiss noise. u know the noise u get when u jsutr blip the throttle.

...is the HKS Super Mega Flow Intake part number: 70004-BH001 ?

Aris

[Annihilation]

nope!!! its 1504-sh021

But i would like to see the results of a different induction kit like u are looking at. would be worth seeing but i can tell u its quicker in vtec, about the same out of vtec, bit slugish if its warm/hot but sounds amazing!!

I am assuming that your car is a new CTR.
If you go to HKS web site (http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=813#) you'll see that the
sugested part number for the CTR is the 70004-BH001 (the same that
the Acura RSX Type S uses, same engine) and not the 1504-sh021.
Who suggested this part number ? It does not exists at the web site.

mines a japanese model for starts, the yanks dont have the civic type-r 2l i thought, only jap and europe aint it?.. also the instructions altho in jap are for the civic ep3 and dc5. and the box says 2001-...

This is the part number on the box.., fits perfectly so it is the right one

Yu are right. The part number for CTR (EP3) is the 1504-SH021.
I've see it on the HKS japanese web site: http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/int ... _data.html

Thanks.
I think I will get the HKS instead of the AEM kit.

AEM introduced a version 2 of their CAI. Have a look at:

Just a bit curious,

If by accident water splashes up (i.e. big puddle) between the gap in the wheel-arch and gets on the airfilter, would this cause problems as the engine will be drawing in damp air?

Any answers or remarks are welcome.

[neo]

Wondering?
if i drove thru a river and stalled but managed to get te motor out would this effect the filter as it would get a bit wet?

[Sai]

Sarcastic remark Neo?

I apologise if not, as the original airbox everything is enclosed/sealed and was wondering if it effected the new induction kit if water was splashed onto the sponge bit of the air-filter.

[neo]

as long as the water doesn't enter combustion chambers or electronic parts like air flow mass meter etc.... it would be okay
