Good on you man, this first question is what im actually looking for, good thing that it least clear things up. Id say an SRI has no real issues with heatsoak (search anywhere if youve heard or seen a street driven DC5 that lost a significant amount of kW due to heatsoak LOL!!) coz people here just are being peer-pressured or brown-nosing each other

CAI = harder install, better gains, arguable hydro lock risk
SRI = easy install, better response due to shorter piping, louder, arguable heat soak (when moving)

In regards to DC5r, the answer is simple if your performance minded and not getting it for bling/noise factor in which sri would be the way to go.....
- Get a CAI
- Get a SRI and buy a vented bonnet

Street driven? Get a sri for an easy install and cheaper

Also another thing to take in for consideration.. Sri... Is an open pod... Defect.. A cai, the pod is hidden and all u see is a black rubber elbow... With the design of sri for the k20.... I would never buy one.... Simply because the pod sits near the
Firewall, right near the header... Either way, the pod will never suck up any cool air at all. However if eddie aka spoons has tracked the car eith a sri.... Maybe it could be ok... Maybe op should put up a poll for a month and see the response like tgat?

NEXT to the headers YES!, from what i see in that photo of DC5 is it NEXT to the headers?? LMAO!!!

Well, you also have to take into account what reckless said, that in NSW it is a defect. I was in Perth when i had the SRI and its legal there. You don't want to risk getting a defect when it could have been avoided. Unless of course, you make a custom box to cover it up.

I don't understand what your trying to say...

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.

I was the one who reffered to heatsoak, and no it wasn't a generalization. Read it again, its specific to a DC5

Eddy, its hard to understand how he comes to conclusions like that... this guy likes to argue for the hell of it lol
He's got negative rep for a reason

@Lowiez, Hahahaha....you must have a literacy problem kiddo (figures why you understand any ABC & 123 i post). The person obviously doesnt want to track his car and the topic is all about SRI and where to get one, he doesnt want a CAI so where did your CAI > SRI come from mate?....so once again you're making a pointless comment where it isnt needed.

@SpoonS "I don't understand what your trying to say... " <------------- errrr.... good, coz i wasnt talking to you?.

CHeers,
mike

mate i went from injen megaram sri to injen cai and now back to megaram

and to tell u the truth I luv it.

my low and mid range is heaps better with the megaram, but I felt more power up top with cai. which was pretty useless anyway. driving on the street like how often are you going to hit 7k-8k?. and the throttle response was heaps better with the megaram.

as for heatsoak pffft half the blokes here acting like experts havent even used one in their bloody life

**r3ckless** · 26-07-2010 09:24 AM

Well use commonsense.... With the pod right at the back of the engine... Its gonna suck up hot air... Engines run better with cool air... At the end of the day, theres gonna be mixed responses on both intakes...
