in my dc2 vtir, it seems when the needle goes more than a cm fmro the C towards the H, the car bogs down HEAPS. its still got the noise, but u can feel it really heavey and not going anywhere.

SO.... if i CAI.... [as in put a pipe feeding coldair into the airbox] will it eliminate my problem? like as in keep it cool? and hence not make it feel SO bogged down???

is CAI the answer to my problem?

thanks.

i don't think adding a larger diameter pipe as a cold air feed is going to help alot eric, but you could give it a go anyway...

CAI would make much difference
how old is your car? I think you might need a themostat change.
only $60 from Honda. or pay $80-100 for someone to change it for you

Flush the radiator, change the thermostat, have the timing checked, have the electric fan checked that it kicks in. A CAI won't solve engine temps, only intake charge temp (maybe).

Yes I also think you should get it checked maybe, because I dont think Integra's were meant to feel bogged down from the factory.

Give it a service and slap in CAI.
My teg sits under the halfway line all the time even in hot weather.

So dont stress if it is still under halfway.

B and D series engines should run cool and never go above halfway if everything is working fine. As said, if the temprature is going above halfway, get your radiator flushed and check your thermostat and radiator fan.
