Intake prices etc

[will2k]

I've noticed some people have been wondering how much the Injen and/or Takeda intakes cost to be shipped to Australia etc so i done some research. ( These are for the CU2 )

Injen http://www.heeltoeauto.com/product.p...at=1250&page=1

If you enter coupon code "tsxrocks" you get an extra 5% off.

All up shipped to Sydney with USPS Priority Mail International - 6-10 Days = $379.71 ( Australian dollars )

If you wanted Fed Ex 1-3 day shipping then expect around $440-450 AUD

Takeda http://www.heeltoeauto.com/product.p...at=1250&page=1
= $401.76 for the slowest shipping method.

The cheapest Injen i've seen on ebay was $405 + approx with postage to Sydney and the cheapest Takeda on ebay is roughly $445 +

Heeltoeauto seems the cheapest from what i've researched.

Close to 10% improvement in power. Nice!!!

I have noticed a pop @ 4100rpm. Now I can see what happens with the power curve. Is this the vtec kicking in?

The sound is also great. I want one.

hmms/ thanks for that, interesting. 380$ injen for a dc2 would be lovlay

I was recently also looking at the best place to purchase injen intake for my CL9 on the internet. Ended up buying it off heeltoe last week for $363AU shipped as they seemed like the most reliable/cheapest, however I don't remember having a choice to choose USPS or FedEx.

That's cos you're a dero Simon! hahah! jks.. You would have had a choice, but cos you're so cheap you'd have only seen the USPS one.

P.S. Your car is slow..

Everyone here wants to mod their cars but don't want to spend the money! I'm not being cheap, just being a good ozhonda member

VTEC crossover in the CL9 is @ 6000rpm. The engine makes peak torque @ 4500rpm, so that push you feel at 4100rpm may be the engine advancing the VTC

[Irving]

Here is the power curve, notice the sharp increase in power @4100rpm. This looks like the vtec kicking in? 5600 to 6400 drops and then its up again from 6400 to 7000 (according to this dyno anyway....).

^^^ Either that or its VSA thingy? I think the actual person who car has been borrowed by injen says that they have some problem with VSA that keep on kicking in... (taken from ACURAZINE forum)

[furythree]

hence the VSA off button feature...

[npcan2]

hence my signature..

[will2k]

Is VSA even that good or useful? Sounds too complicated to me. Isn't VSA the system that automatically adjusts the volume because of increased cabin or outside noise etc?

I think i will follow you guys and definately turn it off once i get my CU2.
