What is the loudest and most affective CAI for S2K?

[CRXONE]

Hey guys I just purchased a 2001 S2K! It's gunmetal and has red leather seats. It's stock as a rock yet goes pretty quick :)

However I want it to sound louder! And perhaps at the same time go quickers.

Cheers for any responses

Mark:thumbsup:

If you want it to sound louder just get an exhaust with no resonator and a huge straight through muffler.

[MRK-01]

Simply take the top off the airbox. Heaps of induction noise in there..!!:thumbsup:

[CRXONE]

Sweet MRK-01 thats a cheap alternative.LOL

Hey I actually saw you today driving down Lonsdale Street around 1pm, is your car lowered at all? I see you have clear side markers. My car looks almost identical.:thumbsup:

[MRK-01]

I used to have a 93 CRX, moved to s2k, soooooo much more FUN..!!:p

I was around at that time, work in the city, yeah was lowered but having dramas with the ride height and speed bumps, so got it fixed up and gettin sorted soon..:eek: . May catch you round the traps..

BTW, where did you pick it up from..?

There are proper cold induction kits around, search through the forum for info, you should find all you need here....if not they usually give you advice on where to look..Great bunch in here..!!

[CRXONE]

Bought it off a guy who lives in Forest Hill. I really need to put some proper speakers in.LOL

[MRSPCS]

hey dude, i've got an injen CIA, and **** it roars broo!
I used to find that when taking the lid of the stock airbox.. it used to lag alittle..

:thumbsup: mines pretty loud as well i reckon.

[flipstar]

lol get a bc spec 2 exhaust trust me every1 will know ur coming lol

[Photonic_Si]

No u dont want to have loud exhaust without intake. otherwise u sound like a dude driving an mx5....gay. Intake noise is much more audibly pleasing. Intake first, then exhaust.

[MRSPCS]

:thumbsup: mines pretty loud as well i reckon.

hahah fcuk i already know.. remember hearing it that time i seen your car at the carwash!!

[ludecrs]

You guys have got nothing on an Invidia :p

[crxmatt]

Wheres the best/cheapest place to get the injen cai ?

If you can warrant the $2K US price tag 2nd hand for ITB's.... lol

[MRSPCS]

^^ i want that!! looks crazy..
lol, btw.. what is it? hahaha

[SHIFTY]

ITB's (individual throttle bodys) replaces intake and ur single throttle body..

will sound amazing and add power (it straight from the engine) would just need 4 lil foam filters over each fluat 2 stop unwanted things in ur engine such as dust and stuff :)

Its chrome and shiny, sick bro....

Its a throttle body there's a brand new one at Chasers, upstairs in a glass cabinet. Im pretty sure Scott would let it go for less than $2K, could be wrong though. i'll ask next time i drop pass. Even if u spent the $$$$ explaining it after u got pulled over would be something else.

[1337droptop]

if you had a setup like this would you not be drawing hot air into the engine? anyone seen quad throttle bodies with a cold air setup? or is that not a..er...thing...

[.::F[L]Y::.]

the Cwest s2000 runs ITB's and it has a custom airbox + air feed from the front bar which means direct cold air to the itbs. This ideally would be the most optimal setup to run but id just leave it like that lol

[euroasia]

when i did a search up on ITB's and s2000's, many of the few owners that actually had ITB setups said it was very difficult to get a reliable tune, and was not suited to daily driving/occassional driving, but more of a track/special/weekend blaster.


Would ITB's be most effective when there have been other mods to optimise it? Excuse my ignorance, just my impression from searches.

[WhiteAP1]

Yep,pretty much.

[.::F[L]Y::.]

well when the hondata becomes available for the F20c tuning should be easy.

From what i have seen for B series motors, a mildly modded engine can benefit from ITB's and a good tune.

furthermore, the myth about ITB's not being suitable for daily driving, fuel consumption and noise is rubbish. ITB's are not much louder than your average intake kit.

[euroasia]

what about daily driving and fuel consumption?

[WhiteAP1]

Like fly said, now that the hondata is available, a tune to complement the ITB's should do nicely. If you've gone to all the trouble of fitting and tuning ITB's and other assorted goodies, your pretty much not gonna give a flying fcuk about fuel consumption. Obviously when manipulating air/fuel, ignition, timing....ure gonna be burning more fuel. Cant have ure cake and eat it too. :)

[ROLLED]

From what I've read on S2ki on ITB fuel consumption they seem to say that at partial throttle openings the fuel consumption is normal but then at WOT it tends to increase quite a lot

[WhiteAP1]

All due to air/fuel mixture.The more air thats inducted,the more fuel will thrown in.

[euroasia]

i'm sure most people wouldn't care about fuel consumption anyway, otherwise they wouldn't've bought a sports/performance car.

[CRXONE]

Seems to me that a Injen CAI is a GOER! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:

[WhiteAP1]

Mugen or J's Racing......just my 2c

[Si1enzio]

Seems to me that a Injen CAI is a GOER! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:

The Injen CAI, how far off is the filter from the ground...?
I've read from another forum a bloke who had CAI setup had water going thru the filter... What are the chances with the Injen setup?

[BRU51N]

a good 30cm from the ground

its quite hard to submerge the filter underwater, as ive never had any car drive through 30cm of water ever!

and the front bar is quite sealed in regards to rain water.

[CRXONE]

So he Inken CAI is a loud mofo cold air intake yeah? Anyone got pics of Mugen? J's? etc...?

I once saw a carbon fibre intake on a Integrea Type R, the newer version. Sounded fkn unbelievable!

This is the J's intake, its expensive though... Looks bloody nice !!!

[1337droptop]

looks sorta bloated imo, not a fan

[WhiteAP1]

Function over form, its not meant to be pretty

[CRXONE]

I think that looks insane.

But is it loud?

[ROLLED]

doubt it would be loud, the whole thing is covered like OEM...

[Si1enzio]

pipe goes to front bar for cold air...
looks awsum, its like 1400 for the setup...

[euroasia]

plus you have to cut into the bonnet.

[CRXONE]

DUDES I took the stock air box lid off and WOW my car makes noise!!!!

But its not very loud but hey better than the dull stock sound.LOL:D

[WhiteAP1]

plus you have to cut into the bonnet.

Its hardly an issue, theres not that much involved.

[CRXONE]

So wheres the best places to buy these CAI? Anyone?

[MRSPCS]

^^ look at the trader advert. dude!
I got mine from JDM Yard!! but they're located in sydney..

[teamkillerpe]

I guess there are 2 questions raised here...
whether the CAI does anything...
and whether the CAI sounds 'louder'...

I have the mugen CAI, and it sounds great. Its not about being 'louder'; but the car sounds 'raw' and feels sportier! On track days, people often think that I have a set of full exhaust.

Functionally (and subjectively) it seems to improve low end response. According to one of the japanese mags (HyperREVs I think), the mugen CAI is one of the few add ons that actually increase horses.

Look at the later versions come up by J's racing etc, they have similar designs.

IMO a AEM/Injen CAI setup will sound very loud, compared to the boxed setups like the Mugen/J's Racing, but the Mugen and J's racing should performe better at the higher end. The scoop will catch more air while moving then the Filter behind the front bar.
However the sound that the AEM/Injen give you is unbelieveable. Heres a clip of my car with a AEM cai.

It might not be an s2000, but it should sound pretty similar.
And You can get the CAI from here.

Is that your celica?

[vyets]

it was. but shes gone now, had a big accident :( now im carless

[MRK-01]

:cool: This is not a CAI but sounds DAMN good..!!!!:cool:
No cutting or bending of anything, just remove the HUGE airbox and put this in its place..!!!:thumbsup:

Doesnt cost heaps either..!!

[vyets]

that thing looks like it will heatsoak pretty bad. box it up yo.

[MRK-01]

two things i want to do extra to it is fabricate a shield around the motor and some flexi tubing to direct cold ir to it, but in this cold weather its working heaps better than the standard box..!!

[WhiteAP1]

U'd be better of sheilding the filter itself than the engine, but like vyets said its gonna heatsoak like a muthafcuker. IMO a pod on a stick is not a good idea no matter how good the sheilding. The metal pipe going into the plenum could do with a good HPC also, that might help keep temps down.

Either way good to see ppl experimenting.
