Than adding a CAI feed to the box is a better option imo if u cant afford a proper cai system. But one of the best feature of this, using oem box with cai feed, is the no need to worry about rain, which might = hydro lock
I dunno what to call this but the car was like this when i got it and still is like thisQuote:

I dunno if a proper CAI will be worth it as im doing a engine swap somewhere in the future next year. It doesn't give more kw/hp but better response right? i maybe actually enjoy that than . . . hmmm
ohh were both in the fast food area pay kinda sucks but hey can't complain cause its better then nothing right?Quote:

No. Vtec activates a third cam lobe, which opens up the valves further, and for longer. It doesnt open more valves.Quote:

Use google, its a magical thing.
I think the Vtec on some d-series may activate a 4th valve trism, From what i read some models came with an Econemy version of Vtec where they only operate 3 valves per cylinder untill vtec engages the 4th. Not sure about this as i havent seen one myself but i just remember reading about it in some forums, Might of been called "VTEC - E" If i recall correctly.

If i were you, i would try and retro fit the cover back on if the filter fits inside.
then put a cold air feed below the box where the old resinator used to fit.
i thought about this setup, but cbf playing round it incase i get defected i still have the oem box.
so instead this is what i did.
DC2 Box with a Comptech Filter with Cold Air Feed

As you can see i have not fastened securely the box yet.

Cold Air Feed - next to the Foggies.

By doing this, i still got to maintain a OEM look (well apart from the 3inch intake arm and the blue 45deg coupler.
but works great and i feel the barrp barrp barrpp barrppppp
"VTEC just kicked in YOOO!!
Running some flex pipe from your fog light opening up to the base of your airbox would be a nice and cheap ideaQuote:
