it really depends how much air u got in side the engine bay .. to really make improvment u need some Customer air Induction.. to bring the air in .. it make difference in mid range especailly Mt run .. coz it always kept in high rev.. it response a bit quciker for my car

Not sure about just getting rid of the air box. But doing the whole lot. Including chopping the springs etc has been fairly well proven over on dseries.org

how many springs did u guys cut? i cut 2 and the exhaust crackles heaps when slowing down

I had the normal CAI setup with a heat shield on mine for ages until I bumped into this thread. So was thinking to give it a try since it claims that CAI is no much use for carby but I'm finding it damn hard to get that filter thingy attached down here in melbourne.

89civic, you know where I can get those universal foam filter down here in melbourne ?

thanks

On this topic, I saw the thick induction tube in your picture. I wanted to know where the tube sucks the cold air from ? I initially wanted to do this too but couldn't find anywhere in my engine bay/bumper to lead the outside air onto the air filter so I settled with some vaccum tubes :P

rly1, autobarn have the foam filter things that go on webbers or something.not sure if they will work the way i think they will though

**rly1** · 15-12-2006 03:02 PM

thx 89civic but which autobarn u talking about ? I think they don't store the exact range of product in each store, the one in doncaster does not seem to have anything else than pod filters(CAI type), I've asked them.

thanks

ahhh righto. the one in frankston has them, they have heaps of filters, for carbs, injected, rally purpose filters. the rally ones are what i was talking about, they look like a sock or something that goes onto something else. not sure how they work exactly
