You're an idiot

Thats because it's an EG and it sits towards the front not the rear.

Theres no room to sit it in the bay at the front for DC5's

[Stig]

[Lowiez]

ahh so he does. But that's a big difference to what we're talking about, heatsoak is an issue for the DC5 because as Tai said on his EG it sits in a different position.
Compare the position of the intake to the k24 layout on page one

[Stig]

what is your problem tai? i never attacked you or anyone in this thread, im just suggesting that either SRI or CAI is up to the users preference, either one has pro or cons

grow up

[r3ckless]

But look at hte passenger headlight, or wait, there isnt one! so the pod sitting there wont suffer frmo heatsoak. All teh cool ait is still being fed directly into the pod itself!

You're comparing 2 totally different cars.

Thats my problem, you advice is useless because you arent offering advice to what the original poster is asking for which was for a DC5 !!!

[Stig]

What I was referring to was the generalization of SRI having a heat soak issue as posted by some members back in page 1.

I was only stating that flick's eg has an SRI and how SRI dont always have heat soaking issues.

But in the case of the DC5 YES it could provide problems since it located close to the exhaust manifold if you would like me to give advice for the OP.

[kingjumbo]

Ok I've got 3 simple questions:

1) I never intend on taking my car to track, I don't even plan on putting an exhaust on this car.. so is the heat-soak opera even relevant to my situation?

2) If I were to go injen cai instead, do I have to remove bumper or wheel every time I wish to clean the air pod?

3) has anyone actually experienced the real-world effects in normal street driving of this evil deamon we call heat-soak.. like wtf actually happens and in what conditions?

I don't want to ignore all your advice and get a sri setup only to learn I should have listened.. but i'd like to hear a first hand account of anyone who's experienced negative effects in a dc5 from a sri

(ps you guys do realise the injen sri has a heat-shield thing that prevents air from being sucked from the direction of the engine, not that i suppose that makes a massive difference)

spose I could always go custom style like my old n14 SSS.. my setup was kind of like a hybrid between the two.. air pod right up near the intake, with dedicated cool air flow up to the box

[SpoonS]

I had a HKS SRI in my car for about 3 years without a heat shield. During that time, i only tracked the car once and there were no problems that i could see/feel.
It was quite hard to notice any positive or negative gains in performance, but there was quite a note change when hitting vtec with it.

Imo go with whatever tickles your fancy. As you said, you dont intend to track your car, so i wouldn't worry about the heat soak issue.

*sigh*
Don't tell me you're gonna contaminate this thread too

What would you recommend if OP said he wanted to go to the track then? Since SRI (such as apexi) is aimed at top end gains and injen CAI is aimed at more mid range shouldnt you suggest SRI for the track? Assuming it worked on a DC5.
On the other hand if you do agree that CAI > SRI, I would like most people, prefer to pay $100-150 more for a product that will be superior in all aspects of performance for a DC5

rofl @ someone who ignores heatsoak issues specific to a DC5 engine bay layout and bases their assumptions that it isn't an issue from the fact that certain other cars work , so it will also work with a DC5. He/She must do more than assume a SRI will work effectively because it works on other cars and find out for themselves like I have or research it properly

LOL....Wow, did i say it was you who mentioned heatsoak?, you ought to do a search for other threads and see how many forum users are talking about heatsoak...not only you're a FIGJAM but you're pretty quick to pull the trigger, why dont you just relax mate coz im not here for your entertainment. Jackass.
