Cold air intake? it makes a diff?

[VT1-R]

i have a simota cold air intake with a common size pod filter.. do u tink its worth to spend extra money getting better onces like AEM n Ingen(dunno how to spell) etc..

any1 went from a not too famous intake to a world class one care to tell mi the gains.. dyno or not.. doesnt matter.. does it make a diff.. haha..

thanks.. tis is the noob forum.. so mus accept this question

i dont think it realy matters. Spend money in header, exhaust, ecu if you want more power.

[OMG.JAI xD]

brand i guess.

but then it really depends on what kind of system you have.

if its a straight out CAI then theyd all probably be the same..

but if you have the J's racing system, which is pretty fat..
or a powerchamber system then it probably would make a lil difference.

according to them, those systems condense the air inside the pipe making extra hp?

lol i dont know.. just buy it cause you get a cool sticker with it :D

bang for buck :)

AEM CAI has been dyno proven time and time again to be the best for a d-series,not sure about b-series but I would imagine it wouldn't be that different.
This information was taken from d-series.org where I was a member for a year where this topic was covered countless times.

To get the most outta your car you wanna do the essentials = i/h/e so your intake headers and zorst will all work well together giving you some good gains.

you might just get some good throttle response and maybe a small gain.

i have AEM SRI, and i cant stress more... NO PERFORMANCE GAINS MAN!!! sounds siick feels smother... but got maybe like .35kw gain seriously... and i have full exhaust system 2 just not headers yet

if you already have an existing CAI in place, no need to spend money on another one. Stick to your Simota IMO. spend the money on something else that will guarantee to give u more power gains. for that kinda money, ur not far off til u can buy, say 4-2-1 headers + a little bit more to replace your exhaust + cat converter.

haha.. i have headers exhaust as well.. cams, ecu tuning all coming... maybe i add a high flow cat as well la.. thanks guys..

[beeza]

Definately add the Hi-flow Cat.

yeah.. some intakes actually reduce the power of the car, might as well keep the stock airbox.

If the simota one has any gains at all it wouldnt be worth spending almost 300 for an extra 2 kws... it wouldnt make a noticable gain. IMO any way

[teh_mechanic]

stick with the simota and save your money for more noticeable gains

yup i am doing tat..
