go full cai intake. injen, aem good ones.
have a look in the traders area. might be able o pick up a second hand one too. jdmyard have injen/
AEM and Injen Make some really good intakes both short and long. With the short CAI its more prone to take in more of the heat generated from the motor which makes it at times laggy.
The long CAI are good, taking in cooler air, but depending on where its is located could get really dirty espesh on rainy days.
I suggest if your going to get either of them dont have them exposed and have them covered with a some sort of sheild and have an intake tube like a Mugen type intake setup.
I only say this because it makes it legal, wont take in heat generated from the motor and i generally it works better.
buddy if u have a Vtir you dont realy want to be spending to much money on it. intake is an importand thing with all Vtecs, but ull get more power out of getting urself a clutch, or some spoon progressin springs.. car will handle much better...
but for now u want to get ursel a Vtec Roar.. so heres what u do :)
What you need...
a plastic flexible 2.5 - 3.5 inch hose.. id suggest a ducting hose of some sort..
a few zip lock ties and a hose clamp.
front bumper shown is a jdm dc2r bumper so its differant to a reg dc2, but at least u get the idea :)
find sumwhere to mount ur plastic hose to the front bumper... make sure its fasted very securly as u dont want it cumming undone while driving... very very bad!!
then simply run your hose from the front bumper to the bottom of your oem air box..
and u have yourself a CAI using the same concepts as the mugen box..
that is also NON DEFECTABLE as ur filter is in an enclosed box.. and ud realy get more power out of it than 1 of them shitty SRI intakes u see every1 has that suck in terribly hot heat from there engine bays...
you could also install a high performance air filter that'd work much better :)
except saved yourself 1000 dollars.. haha and its sumthin you can do yourself and have fun doing:)
here are a few quick piks..
hope this helps buddy:)
SRI = Engine heat, doesnt have as much potential. Only less restrictive.
CAI = Colder air, so long as you have your front splash tray, you wont pick up any shit. More potential. More hassles to install or replace.
SRI is generally cheaper than CAI.
SRI, have different version that are for ABS and non ABS models.
oh so i need to box it 2?, i was told its okay if it isnt a oil based pod.Quote:

GSR is the american version of VTI-R.
Branded under acura.
No difference really. LHD, b18c1 instead of c2. Still a dc2 chassis.
GSR = VTIR
DC:51:VE is suggesting to use your Oem intake arm and filter box. Hes suggesting to get rid of your resonator box under your right mud guard and running a flex pipe from the bottom of your filter box to the front of your bumper.
so that mean if i get a us intake is will still fit my dc2 vtir rite ?Quote:

definitely cai > sri.
i have tried many sri's, and make many cai's, and nothing compares to my current set up.
i recently bought a fujita intake, and i love it. i paid the money for it, and now i got it, i wouldnt buy anything else.
that is excatly what i was showing to do just a much much better job:)Quote:

He paid 450 for it and i bought it for 250
It is the best thing ive done to the car to date, you lose very slightly in the low revs but the power if exceptional and the vtec is so much louder and feels slightly more agressive
hey i have got a short ram intake pipe n i have connected that wid a silicone pipe (can buy it from super cheap) all the way to my bumper, n that is where my airfilter sits, jst behind my bumper bar...
Spoon / Trust foam filter, in DC2R airbox, with 3-4" aircon piping to front bar, with the removal of the air box resinator --> Works a treat, and cheap too!!
If you just want Bling... then Ingen or AEM CAI.
I used a K&N Filtercharger njection Perfomance kit # 57-3506, it is a sri made for the DC2.
All that has to be done pull out the old air box and put the new filter in, it uses the stock pipe and it is about an hour's woth of work, if you diy i recomend the use of an air wrench.
This does change how it sounds but it gives it a nice roar.
Heres what it looks like when its done

full cold air intake is the best option. i got 1 of my old vtir for sale pm me if ur interested has a few scratches but its stil really good,
I had some cash to play with when I was looking into buying my intake, I ended up getting a Mugen intake, injen was another option but I wanted something abit quieter
whats a better intake for a dc2r injen or fujita? any differences? or is it just in price
ive got an ITR injen intake on my vtir, it just fits lol
i bout it off a mate for 250 and he bought for 450.
i think different companies use different designs and also filters make a big difference
^^^ how on earth did u manage that?! got pics of engine bay?
running an injen intake myself. fujita and injen CAI are essentially the same.. love how it sounds at WOT :)
I've had a look around bunnings and I haven't been able to find any piping. Where else would you suggest getting this kinda piping from?Quote:
