Simota Air Intake

Looking to buy a cold air intake for my 97 Integra VTi-R and was wondering if anyone could recommended me with a particular model or brand.

I've been hearing more about simota lately and they're just in nudawading which is close for me.

Im not sure if i should go down and pick one up yet cause some people telling me there great and others are like stay clear of simota cause it's cheap !$@*

I'd like some of you to set the record straight about simota and also help in some decision making as to a cold air intake for my car. If simotas not the way to go then what is k&n or AEM and where abouts to purchase in Melbourne.

Thanks Guys. :)

if u want a k&n one, try undergroundimport in teh trade section, they hav got a good range + fair price

mate stay away from simota... they are cheap, and as the term says you get what you've paid for...

spend a little more and get yourself a decent intake.. like mee :D i'm getting an injen cold air intake :D

so what can u recommened for my car?

where u going to purchase the injen from??

i did want a k&n one this model:

but wasn't sure were u can get it from in AUS.

well i purchased the injen CAI from Shift Performance here in Sydney, but obviously there is a wait for it as they have to ship it in from the U.S.. its costing me all up $550

I'd also assume it would be cheaper for a dc2

yeh thats way out of my price range i mean just for a cold air intake.

Well then your better off just going K&N...

If the Simota is cheap, make sure it has all the plumbing for your sensors and tubes. The Simota is also a short ram intake (SRI). You don't get as much top end peak power as a cold air intake (CAI).

any thoughts on this??

not a bad price. more around my price range.

Do you think that would be suitable im happy with the price but the shipping is going to kill me.

Where abouts could i get this product from in aus.

there are many brands of intakes ...from wat i heard some arent that good juz selling the brand name ....aem is nt bad

Check the number of bends. The more rounded the bends, the better. Check the inner diameter of the tube. Make sure the tube is mandrel bent. Make sure all the ports for existing sensors are on the tube. And finally, make sure the filter is a good one.

Mate im going to have to disagree with that quote. so you saying that mugen cold air intakes which cost like $900 will be 10 time better? i recond injen, AEM, mugen and even simota are all relatively good. the purpose of CAI is to redirect cold air into the engine. even your local exhaust shop can make you one.

injen or fujita are fairly good

i think that the filter that comes with the fujita pack is better but thats my opinion

HKS get my vote.

U guys are funny, spending up to a thousand dollars on some pipe u can buy of ebay for $40

ARC air box from the U.S with a custom made pipe....n LOVING IT
