hahaha bullshit.
So ITB'S would be the loudest yer???
where can i purchase something like that cheers.
was thinking of injen but taking the bumper off and water thing put me off.
is grouppem loud or quiet?
It took me about 1 n half to do my install.
yes u do run the risk of hydrolocking.
the pod needs to be submerged for it to hydrolock.
or drenched with a shitload of water
put it this way where im located, it pisses down rain pretty much 50% of the yr even more.
I have a mugen front bumper on my dc5 (the pod has direct contact with air and water cause i havent put mesh on the bumper)
ive driven it countless times to and from work and shit in pissing down rain and it hasnt had one hiccup.
Go CAI and get injen hydroshield for piece of mind.
i never bothered to dyno my car straight after i put a cai on ..
dont really see the point
with i/h/e i made about 101kws.
with ecu and tune made 17kws on that.
theres no point into getting into discussions about dynos.
then you also got tuners, all are different.
i just dont think 11kws from a cai is realistic.
If youre afraid of hydrolocking dont drive fully hectic through puddles on the side that the POD is exposed to...
Do this and you will be fine...
To run ITB's you will need ECU to get the most out of it, and a plenum if you want it to be legal...
just get injen GG
You'll need an aftermarket ECU to run ITB's full stop.
Basically you can do one of the following:
- Get a SRI (Short Ram Intake - K&N Typhoon) for about $150... it'll be loud... and suffer from heat sock within 15 min of driving.
- Get an Injen intake for about $350... and worry about hydrolock (Even though it'll never happen, unless you drive into a lake)
- Get a Gruppe M intake for about $1200 new (about $900 2nd hand... if you can find one)... and... well other then a few people complaining about the windscreen cowl vibrating... there are no problems with them.
- Get ITB's (Individual Throttle Bodies) and ECU for about... ohh... $3000 (If you use budget parts and are lucky in the 2nd hand market)... and spend about $1000 on getting it all tuned... but that'll give you the most noise and gains.
Surely not the DC5???
It’s too soon!
Crikey!
I knew this day would come.
The ricers have finally molested it!
Started with the Alteeza’s, then the exhausts, ignored the 20s, but now loud intakes??!!
Blow me down, I better sell soon.
45SET... Good point. Haha ;)
apart from ecu it's best to do cams as well to get them working to their potential but of course you don't have too...
