What do you guys think are best(value for gains) intake systems for a dc2? Cheers

bang for buck = injen
you plan on keeping the vtir intake manifold?
Yeh im leaning towards injen CAI but just worried about the rain here in sydney.. and yes i plan to keep my IM, why what's the alternative if i changed my IM?Quote:

if you plan to go junk2 or blox (both dc2r style) or whatever manifold, then I would wait till you upgrade the manifold b4 you spend money on the intake.
regarding rain & water..... I've never had issues.
people that have issues have no common sense, it's not that bad. You obviously wouldn't drive into a pool of water, but even heavy rain, it's ok.
I don't think mugen suits the vtir manifold.Quote:

ohh okay i understand, that has helped me alot coz i was planning to buy a skunk2 IM with a injen vtir CAI.. soo ide have to either keep the oem IM and get a vtir CAI or change the IM and get a type r version intake? how about the TB does that effect the 2 versions?Quote:

what matters is the vtir TB/IM will sit a lot lower than the dc2r.
hence 2 different versions.
ohh okay, thanks heaps for that. LOL at "junk2" is that what you think about the brand or the IM? how about if i get a skunk2 TB will it be compatible with the oem IM but just get the opening bored out to match the size of the TB?Quote:

depends on your budget.Quote:

of course you will need a tune, but will be worth it.
worth port matching IM & TB
worth doing headwork. IE. cams, vanve springs, retainers.
all comes doen to money
ohsc 24hr support team.
yeah byuddy.
I doubt the junk TB will go on the vtir IM.Quote:

FYI, I'm using a INjen, ericks TB, junk2 IM
Money and overall end result you want of the car
As for intakes, aem, fujita, injen
I had fujita on my dc2 and loved it. Complimented with a bloc velocity intake though ;)
What do you guys think about Password:JDM dry carbon fiber intake system?
Better to use the resource people have proven good gains from ( not saying the jdm dry it system doesn't )Quote:

Same with the tune, Its required, Also means you need to get a piggy back computer or ecu ( Hondata prefs )
IMO, ill wait till every other mod is done until i mess around with intake manifold...Then you can get everything tuned at once
True okay. I'm thinking of just leaving my oem IM for now and just getting the injen CAI vtir version and then when i save ALOT lol for my headers, cat and exhaust combo then I'll sell my CAI and get the skunk2 IM and buy the type r version CAI. I know I end up spending more but I know I'm not gonna get all these mods anytime soon that's for sure so yeh, thanks for the advice though, really helpful. Btw how much would a hondata plus tune cost? Roughly
1k - 2k
Honestly if you want an aluminium pipe CAI just get an EBAY one. Pipe is pipe. Just make sure you have a half-decent filter but even those are mostly the same.
mate, look here..............Quote:

[QUOTE=skeptic_;3350472]What do you guys think about Password:JDM dry carbon fiber
For my opinion , my set up is :
* skunk 2 intake manifold and throttle body
* black injen cai
but if i were to go back i would just get:
* password jdm carbon fibre intake with an aluminium air box
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...nium-Air-Boxes
AEM is prob the best. Good gains and don't cost an arm and a leg like Injen
you guys saying AEM/Password JDM
you guys seen dyno graphs to back up claims?
last thing we want is thesaint butt dyno talking.
I like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Comp...sories&vxp=mtr
Fits with stock VTiR IM, and it can probably sit in your factory air box. Just remove the resonator in the bumper and you will effectively have a CAI wbecause the air box will keep the engine bay heat out.
OR
to save coin just DIY with aluminium pipe and buy a decent filter to replicate the above.
So this is the same intake arm and pod as the 'comptech ice box' just without the box? and are you sure this will fit into the oem air box? coz i have removed the resonator already.Quote:

^This, if your gonna go for a CAI you might as well just get any eBay branded one and save yourself some money. At the end of the day a pipe is a pipe & they probably all perform just as the same, it just comes to choosing between the brand (injen, aem, fujita). In saying this though, if you wana go this route get Fujita as the cone is shaped somewhat similar to that of an apexi power intake for better airflow, better than that of its competition.Quote:

On the other side "high-end" intakes such of that as Mugen, Gruppe M or Js racing are a different story they are quality intakes in design, craftsmanship and proven performance, thus your are gona pay for more than just an aluminium & cone. Search the archive files on honda-tech or team-integra in which the guys have dyno results of the range of intakes for dc2's, from memory Mugen outperformed all however by not that much.
I know not many people use this intake but what do you guys think about the K&N FIPK intake with heat sheild?
IM using J racing
