There is a post lurking around from Toda suggesting that they see on the DC5 with just a lightened flywheel pull away from a DC5 with intake, header, exhaust. Maybe my memory is inaccurate on that - I'll see if I can find the thread before I get flamed.Quote:

THe most popular ones for the euro seem to be either the K&N Typhoon cai and the INJEN cai. There is also the COMPTECH ICEBOX which has some gains on performance as well. (do a search on it). Others include a MUGEN airbox for pple with deep pockets and the GrouppeM airbox. (not too sure about the gains on these but i hear installing an INJEN or a K&N gives greater performance than either of these)
In terms of price, not too sure about K&N. You could probably source one locally somewhere in australia.
as for the INJEN, your best bet would be to go on EBAY and find one for the euro (it will be named TSX as this is what the euro is known over in the states). the INJEN CAI + shipping would come to about 400 AUD. PM Pum[Z] or Mattel and ask how much they got their for.
Comptech Icebox, not too sure either. PM Yfin and ask him where he got his and how much eh got it for. From memory i think it was 250 AUD or something? correct me if im wrong please.
Hope this is information enuff for ya and good luck modding the euro. its an awesome car :D
this is to all the owners with an accord euro, who have installed a C.A.I, does it actually make in difference when your driving the car, can you feel it?
K&N, if its easy to locate i might have a look at that. Hopefully like you mentioned there will be some gain in performance. By the way... the only car shop i know is autobarn :P If there is a shop for CAIs locally around aus, it would be pretty nice and wont have to go on the touble of sourcing it online.
Autobarn do sell K&N. But you might have to wait as they normally don't hold stock (except for popular models like commodore or falcon)Quote:

You can buy K&N direct from Rocket Industries in Sydney - the distributor of K&N in Australia. I know this as they quoted the Typhoon for me about 12 months ago. Can't remember the price but it was substantially cheaper to buy online from USA.
The Icebox costs $150+33 for shipping = around $235 in AUD terms landed. I paid a bit extra for tracked shipping and also for the filter recharge kit.
In one word......"YES"!!!!!!!:DQuote:

Ok simply i go to powerbarn ask them for K&N Cai for euro (they order it) and also fit it in for a price i assume for me.
Is there any other mods which gain some performance in the car (under 500 dollars)
which i should look into?
Thank you for advice
