So are you saying the intake manifold is not part of the engine and dose not get hot too?

and how hot do you think would heat up the passing air with that little time!

Oh really? In the past month and a half I have driven 2-3 times in sub zero temps..... not 30 mins out from Brisbane too.

Having said that.. I have the coolant blocked off from going to the TB (EK4) and experienced no sticking/freezing of the TB driving in such conditions during the winter for around 4-5 years. In my opinion the real danger for it freezing over is when there is sustained WOT operation were there is large volumes of air moving through adding to the chill factor. Also rising warm air from the engine bay with a closed hood would lessen this chance.... its not like the intake is sticking out the hood like on a doorslammer.. where they are constantly spraying alcohol on the throttles to stop them freezing over.

first of all it's plastic and the part which comes in contact with the engine is a loooooong way from the tb housing plus. so umm it might burn ur hand if you drive 3-4 hours straight. Theory, what theory?? i actually did it and felt it myself. the fact you live in thailand and thailand is quite warm, the engine bay is already hot on top of the grilling conditions over there.

ps: Australia, it is alot colder than thailand

hmm sounds like your intake manifold is metal. No wonder it's hot. Ausdm ones are plastic (like the ozhonda background). Well my mod isn't too great for metal manifolds.
by the way, if honda designed stock intake systems to be heated by placing the majority of the manifold over the engine, why did they even bother with a coolant bypass hose to warn it up even further. Hmmmmmmmmm

Geez, all this crap just for a "My Jazz AirBox" thread.

Back on topic:
LSD, did you have a stock airbox before? Is this much louder than what was there before (stock or if not, what did you have)?

Sorry what you mean?

Yes is much louder then the stock but only it you Rev it high. stock box is design to diffuse sound so stock box almost don't make any sound at all.

calm down......it just about the intake guys......for m opinon , no matter what brand u change for the intake tat not gonna make a big different, unless you upgrade all the others togther as welll as maybe end up you will feel lot more on the engine responce than the at wheel power increase.
