Civic Si 2009 - K&N Drop-In filter vs AEM Short Ram Intake

[phatrides222000]

i had a bypass valve and hydro-locked my engine just cruising, definitely use one, but be careful.

[yoshistoned]

ive had 3 civics and always used CAI never had a problem with rain....honestly i had a prob with the stock intakes and a little water on the ground more than anything

[AZIlluminati08]

you can hear the k&n lets airflow little better than AEM, either that or the computer needs to be adjusted

I just got a new Si and was thinking of putting in a short ram. Does it heat-soak sitting back by the firewall? Trip the check engine light?

@TheRacerlover

it doesnt trig the check engine light but it does get heatsoaked on nice weather... Im thinking of getting some cover to reduce the heat but i dont know if it will do much. I would probably go with CAI if i was considering an intake again...

[FuriousHondaBoy]

@fifook hm, what about rain with CAI? bypass is ok but I think that is more safe have short ram and make some pipe with cold air intake from front of bumper?!

what you think ?

[fifook]

@FuriousHondaBoy

well, i dont know... in my opinion whatever u will do to SRI to prevent heatsoak it will still be getting a lot of heat from the engine... I'm going to buy intake manifold gasket and see if that reduces any heat. and ur right about the rain with CAI .. thats the only thing holding me back from getting one.

[FuriousHondaBoy]

@fifook With CAI you got colder air but SRI give little more power and mane, I like that prrrrw sound :D

Maybe make some cold box like M3 what have or like say before intake for cold air...

I see on Honda Tuning Magazine web that Hondata heatshild don't make any change but air is colder definitly.

By any chanse culd you tel me what paint you used ??

[fifook]

@marcosalverde

Well I used a regular spray paint , applied 3 coats ... here is a great DIY article ww.8thcivic.com/forums/engine/­232103-diy-painting-intake-man­ifold-cover-v2.html

i'm going to repaint mine this summer so it matches the color of the intake

[marcosalverde]

where did you purchase the red engine covers??

[fifook]

@marcosalverde I painted the cover :)

[Umbot786]

AEM sounds awesome!

[dfox24]

did you leave a part of the old intake tube in?

[himynameisphuc]

new dual aluminum radiator, new pistons,air intake, renew all of the gaskets, vales, cat back exhaust. and if possible can u tell me how to turbo charge it too, idk how to hook it up is it good for the engine

[fifook]

I need to make a new video with the SRI because my friend kept his fingers on the cameras microphone and the sound sucks

[dfox24]

Did you have to take your wheel off to put the intake in?

[fifook]

@dfox24

no, installation is easy.. its not the same as CAI

[Lilmiddwest262]

AEM dry flow better then K&N all day and fuck other oil charge filters

[himynameisphuc]
