CAI in my Type S

Hey guys, anyone installed the Injen CAI in the Type S yet??

I've noticed now I am going to have to make a slight modification to my bar to get air to come into the filter.. I have a little plastic looking mesh, it has little diamond shaped bits in it that I'm thinking of cutting out, I know it will be a time consuming process but it will be worth doing. Any idea how I can cut each little individual diamond? I've heard using a hot blade should do the trick.. but i'm not sure, anyone experienced a similar situation??

I've attached a pic, and the Red circle is the location where I have to modify, all comments welcome :thumbsup:

cheers :wave:

hack saw is ur friend :)

hey dude, have you tried taking off front bar and removing it first? that part might just come off because from factory, if you were to get fog lights, thats where theyre put :confused: not really sure, but you can always try? taking off front shouldnt take that long.

dont do it alfy, why would u wanna damage ur car for quarter of a kilowatt and some noise? not to mention $200 for the CAI.

yum yum yum yum yum

my injen cai was installed without modifying the front bumper at all... in fact, my licence plate goes where that bit u wanna cut out is :p

and that black bit pops out if u push it from the inside ;)

Thanks for the information, I was afraid I'd need some bits removed to make it fit.

That's a TSX/Accord Euro! Not a DC5S/R

actually a bit of cuttin is required in the fenderwell to make the pipe fit... just a bit of plastic on the front right side of the front left wheel if u know wat i mean lolz

and umm part of the battery holder needs to be cut and a hole needs to be drilled:p

yeah... thats why i paid to get mine installed!

Something like my DIY???

yessss lol i know that cause i got pics of the rest of the car :p
i jus posted it to show some pplz what the intake looks like, it wouldnt be all that different to the DC5 one...

i agree

CAIs are overrated, ppl say they sooo good coz they love hearing the "VTEC kikin in yo" more

but its not worth cutting and drillig and messing around, IMO, for a tiny bit of power increase that u may not even feel

not saying i prefer the CAI but you dont need to cut/drill that part out to fit a CAI.

tests have shown that a CAI will always give more power than an SRI, and i'm not talking about a few kw...you will notice the differnece when driving it

i have had the injen cai on my car (DC5) and now i have an sri...and by far the CAI was better. The reason why i'm back to using a SRI, my cai got bent after an acco = (

there's really no need to cut that hole out in the front bumper just leave it as is.
and also with with the fender well, you could leave that as is too, but you'll just get a little bit of a bulge, but it won't affect anything.

oh also you need to change your washer bottle, but that should be provided with your new Injen CAI kit.

Yes it's very different mate, the pipe for DC5 is much shorter and u cant even see it in the engine bay.

i see i see...
ahh well lol

as if... CAI just gives you better throttle response and some noise. i have been there and seen how much power increase you get from a CAI which is less than 1kw, so ask yourself, is 0.5kw worth $200 to you?. your stock intake is not rubish, it was designed for a purpose and it serves its puprpose very well. IMO CAI is a waste of time and money which could be spent elsewhere.

umm actually the CAI gives u worse throttle response at low rpms but the top end power more than makes up for it.

Motor Mag did a 15.4 down the 1/4 on a stock type-S while Tokyo race did a 14.8 with jsut an Injen CAI. I think that's a significant gain.

A CAI is well worth the money (for the k20 anywayz) at around half the cost of a catback system...

dont know wat car & wat dyno u put your $200 CAI on, but the ones for dc5's are around $500 and gains are around 5kw atw

no offense dude but thats a crock of shit, 0.6secs is big difference on the quarter mile run and i doubt even 5kw will do that. and its even worst $500 for a CAI, i'd put that money towards better headers and exhaust system or performance sparks.
the difference i saw was on a supra, the CAi gave an extra 0.25KW while the exhaust system made a 12kw difference.
5kw difference at wheel with a CAI is a big claim, show us some evidence :)

none taken; maybe the motor mag driver was shit i dunno.

a quality catback system for the dc5 costs around $1000

well there u go, it was on a supra; we're talkin about a dc5 here ;)

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread...light=cai+dyno

and from post #24 of the previous link : http://performance.clubrsx.com/dyno/...6-03-Dyno3.jpg

difference was 181.1 - 162.4 = 18.7HP at the wheels.. convert that to kw by multiplying by 0.7457 = 13.94459 KW ATW

How about you don't talk about something you have no experience with, that being K20 motors :zip: How the fark can you compare a supra to a integra? :confused:

A CAI and and an exhaust will hake a very big difference to the K20, the k series is the best vtec motor honda has ever developed, even better than the f20c. In stock form the k20 has so much potential. CAI, Headers, Exhaust and K-Pro should see you make close to 140kw at the wheels.

But what would i know i only have a 150+ kw DC5R integra so i probly know nothing about them... :thumbdwn:

LOLLL relax buddy, i didnt mean for u to have a sook about all the money u've wasted....
i still stand by what i said, $500 for a CAI is waste of time and money better spent elsewhere :)
no offense alfy, if ur passionate about the 2-3kw gain then its all worth it. but dont listen to this bs about 0.6 seconds faster on the quarter mile cause of a CAI...

lol oh ok no worries bro im sure it'll sound awsome. just dont cut your car up for a CAI.
cheers, hope to see your car one day its looking really good :)

Got it fitted y0!~!~!!!!

:D loving the sounddddddd mmm heehhee

will post pics up shortly.. not much to see though lol!

Are you serious when saying that a CAI is a waste of time? It is one of the best mods besides exhaust for the K20. You have obviously been dropped on your head as a child or are very ignorant.

lollllllll why? cause it makes your vtec more noticable? or is it that it gives u a "5wk gain", or maybe the fact that you'll do better on the quarter mile by "half a second" with a CAI.
take some dynos and show us some evidence, until then, have a nice cup of STFU and stop givin out misleadin info, alfy works hard for his money he doesnt need some kid raising his expectations of a CAI and then be disppointed.
he's just after noise so in this case im sure he wont be disappointed. cheers :)

btw milad, i have much more noise now.. only difference from stock is that I can hear the vtec crossover now lol :D

type s's have vtec?
lol.

i thought it was something getting stuck.. but then i lifted the bonnet and saw "i-vtec" on the motor... so i guess so LOL!

lol.

i reckon run no air filter, when i was cleaning my throttle body ages ago, i reved my car with no filter, or intake arm, nothing, just hte throttle body, sounded awesome.. a massive hoon i was.. so i closed my bonnet and went for a spirited drive.. lol, i was a HOON, and it was LOUD. lol.

so i'm thinking of just taking off my air filter, and just use a panty hose over the pipe. lol.

yeah i've heard the K20A with modded intakes, they sound like dinasaurs, have you got headers and catback yet?
i got an accord VTi now, the engine sounds alright , i was thinking of just buying a pod filter and sticking it at the end of the pipe for engine noise but its too much trouble changing it and then putting it back to stock...

nah no headers or catback yet... will be looking into a catback soon though, doubt i'd do anything to the headers.. by the look of them they look like they are stainless steel and quite large in size, so should be fine with stock headers.

Your the only person giving misleading information in this thread, you have never even owned a DC5 and probably never will, I have owned 3 and still curruntly own one and MAx power also owns one. My car makes 150kw at the wheels with intake/headers/ exhaust/ toda spec c cams/k-pro and Max power's car makes 138 k atw with intake/headers/ exhaust/ k-pro and just for your info a stock DC5R/S makes around 100kw at the wheels. And i know of numerous othe DC5's with intake/headers/ exhaust/ k-pro that all make between 135-140kw at the wheels :eek: But hey there is no way intake, headers and exhaust can make 35-40kw at the wheels, dyno must be lying for sure. :thumbdwn:

How bout you go back to b series land because then your info might be relevant with your very limited experience. Seriously mate your a wanker, its no wonder no one who actually knows anything about K-Series motors never comes on ricehonda oops i mean ozhonda.

LOLLLL now hes fired up...
read my posts, i havnt said exhausts and headers are shit, i said u wont get more than 2 kw with CAI. i've seen intakes not do shit on my friends sportivo, supra and a ek with b18c7 (hes on this forum) and CAI HASNT DONE SHIT BUT ADD NOISE they've all said it themselves, and i told them "i told you so". put everything back to stock, dyno ur car, then put the CAI on and dyno it again on the same day and same dyno then u'll see whatta fool u are. so until you bring evidence to back your claim just stfu and go waste your time somewhere else u tool.

But what you are saying is that those different engines havent responded, and are assuming that the K20 would behave the same, which is completely incorrect. The standard intake/exhaust/headers on the dc5 are quite restrictive and behave very well to the inclusion of a less restrictive system (i.e. the free-er flowing intake system).

Below is a dyno of a stock airbox (dotted line) vs. injen CAI system (solid line). Please note the significant increase in horsepower (14.3hp) without tuning or other mods. Enjoy your cup of tea of STFU :)

^^^ doesnt prove anything, that dyno sheet could be from any car with any mod...
p.s i said post up YOUR dyno sheets with just CAI not someone elses... too many donkeys on this earth, but its what makes the world go around :)

Thanks , but i actually have the Mugen intake so it would not be useful for this argument. I can post my numbers up but it will just show outright power, not stock vs CAI which noone will have done on the same dyno on the same day to make the information accurate. The dyno i have posted is based off an american Type S (pretty much the AU Type R in terms of response to mods).

I would love to see some data supporting your obviously substantiated claims.

ur the one with the big claim the burden of proof is on you...
ur car might be puttin out that power because of headers/exhaust and other mods but its certainly no the CAI. and i dont think u've dynod ur car with CAI vs stock, otherwise u wouldnt be talkin up all this shit. read my sig, ur a good example :)

I have just shown you a dyno comparing the two...the burden of proof is now unto yourself to prove me wrong...Not just claim it like you have read it in a magazine :)

As to my choice of intake, this one done for both looks AND function as I did not want a large hole in my engine bay. My intake is actually quite restrictive compared to a CAI.

All you have to do is look at Adrian from Toda's Type S. He has a CAI and exhaust and is putting out substantial numbers. Please for the sake of humanity, my sanity and the car gods, back up your massive claim that they dont make power.

yeah ok u win, CAI will give u an extra 14hp, same as a red car gives u an extra 30.
and no magazine says CAI doesnt do shit, because they all wanna keep their sponsors happy and promote the products.
now im sure u'll run along and get ur mate adrian to read this thread and give another biased opinion, but oh well :)

Im just curious how i am biased when i have never had a CAI and dont actualy run one on my car? I am just telling you the facts from an unbiased opinion, showing you a dyno graph with proof, and you cannot prove your point. I dont know Adrian, I have bought products from him however so there will be no running. You are just trying to put forward an argument with someone that argues with idiots for a living...

Put up or shut up.

Pot....Kettle....Black? You all be the judge on his claims.

yeah right...
first they start posting shit about a CAI and how it has improved QM times by 0.6secs, then they claim its given an extra 5kw AT THE WHEELS.
Alfy has said it himself now that hes got one on there and that its just made a difference in noise. so theres ur ***ing proof.
i've seen for years on alot of diff cars and the max a CAI has given was 2kw and that might not even be correct cause dynos arent accurate all the time...
-edited out swearing- aaronng

Whoa there big fella, why are you swearing, is someone proving you wrong?

You have seen on alot of different cars yes...but that doesnt mean you have seen it on a car with a K20 in it, so i call rubbish to the fact that you are even experienced enough to make a call on the validity of the claim that the CAI does in fact increase power at the wheels.

Crackerjack performance toy? Ah well at least it aint a family car eh!

Please refrain from swearing.

CAI alone without accompanying headers and exhaust don't have any gains.
that is all, put it in ur signature...

my car goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrr*vtec*RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! !

ahahaha

relax guys, I just wanted to know some info about it, thats all... I'm going to enjoy the sound of the intake for a few weeks then order my exhaust system.

Find a dyno of a K-series motor with a before and after dyno that makes no power, i bet you can't. You can't find FACTS to prove your opinion and thats all it is is an opinion, you don't even own a k series motor so why do you think you are mister know it all? I think you should pull your head in and possibly insert it in your anus because thats where it belongs ;)

Ok i have 2 put my 2 cents in since ur stating u've seen a max increase of 2kws atw with a CAI on alot of different cars..

I dont drive a honda, i drive a 7th gen celica. I have dynoed my car at the same place / different day but same humidity.

Stock 100kws atw... with AEM CAI 106kws atw
I have dyno sheets of both for proof

Also on average STOCK sportivos pulling 102-104kw atw mark..
While those with just a CAI were pulling 110-112kw atw

Now your telling me thats not an increase with JUST a CAI? Although i dont know much about the K-series motors, you cant compare different engines.

according to Adrian from TODA, his standard type S produced 112kw atw.. I believe him, as he is involved in this industry and won't BS for the heck of it..

I want to dyno test my car and see what I have...

Could you do us all a favour and take the stock airbox with you and test it?

lol I suppose.. but its going to be a pain in the royal ass to fit it back in LOL!

but from what Adrian from Toda told me, I'll believe him on the quote 112kw atw.. he did also mention that the DC5S's power output is like a DC5R with a hondata... lol:thumbsup:

yeah just go dyno your car with and without CAI, now im curious to see how the "k series" responds to CAI.
my point from the start was if your after power gains then spending $500 on a CAI is a pretty stupid way to go, when u can get more bang for your buck with a full exhaust system. i dont have to prove anything, when u dirty little monkeys put forward claims of a 0.6sec increase in QM time and a whopping 14hp increase with a CAI on its own, then its easy for me to question your dodgy claims so dont get emotional and get upset just cause u dont wanna know that something u've spent so much money on isnt as effective as you thought.
$500 on a CAI for noise is understandable since people spend 2-3k on rims just for looks... but spending $500 for an extra 1-2-3-4-5-6-7kw is just silly when ur tryin to put that power into the front wheels.

Milad relax dosham.. For argument purpose I shall dyno it soon enough to see the figures. I have said it previously, I am not after extreme power, I want my car to look good, to sound good and to go good. I believe I have accomplished that.

but from what Adrian from Toda told me, I'll believe him on the quote 112kw atw.. he did also mention that the DC5S's power output is like a DC5R with a hondata... lol:thumbsup:

Although adrians car pulled 112kw that doesn't mean yours would pull the same in stock form. I heap of brisbane DC5R owners had a dyno day about 2years ago now and there was up to 7kw difference between stock cars. Not every motor is the same, they way its run in, how it left the factory, what oil your running etc all effect what power your car will put down on a dyno. And on top of that ait temp, humidity, intake temp, dyno settings etc all effect the dyno read out...

The only true way to test it is run stock air box and do 3 dyno runs then change to CAI and do 3 dyno runs.

Adrians car i believe makes 13x kw atw with just a CAI and exhaust.

Oh and for old mate who is trying to say that i am trying to justify 500$ for 5 or so kw, i spent 4000$ for cams which gave me a 15kw gain, so 500$ for 5kw is a bargain in comparison... At the end of the day i am happy with my car and the amount of power it is making for the amount of $$$ i have spent. Its a 150kw atw car which can keep up with a STi running 20psi and a s15 with 190kw at the wheels from a rolling start, and with better tyres i will be doing similar times to the GT3's around qld raceway...

TO mod a honda properly in order to make good power it costs a decent amount of money. In saying that it is a lot easier and cheaper to build a 150kw k series than it is 150kw b series. I think that is where your getting mislead, b series and k series are to totally different kettles of fish...

as long as your happy then its all good, and yeah if you can keep up with an STi and a S15 then i guess must mean something to you, but to me keeping up with them means staying wit them not only in a straight line but on the turns as well...
cheers.

mate, seems like your just stirring things up from your posts:thumbdwn:
