Default electric turbo

What up? I got a D-series 93' 4 door 17" BSE's I already have a short ram A-spec intake. I wanted 2 know if I should upgrade 2 a K&N filter or APC? And my other question is whether the electric fan on the intake is any good or a bunch a ****? They jus seem B 2 getting more and more popular..........Aiight Honda Geniuses Cya

Yeah I hear if you connect it directly to your alternator it spins so fast that it creates 40 psi!

he doesn't know you're being sarcastic

don't get either.
the fan is bullshit.
ans stay away from anything APC.

you can upgrade a K&N filter, but you most likely wont see a difference

just save up your money and dont' waist it on lil things.

what I do, is that every time i see something that I want, and say, "hey it's just 30$, what ever" I put it in my 2nd saving account, aka my engine fund.

and I'm just saving up

i actually bought a 30 dollar apc air filter that outperforms my old kn filter.. it has a cone to swirl the air.. the filter really works tha bad thing is its apc and neon orange.. but believe me it works it also makes a whistling noise but you cant hear that over the header or exhaust once you hit higher rpms

they they do exist and said to be for a turbo for vehicles. they want like $100 or more and all it is is a 4" pvc pipe about 6" long with a metal screen on one end and a plastic fan inside. cost to make--$0.03. having a shitload of ricers buying it--priceless

I know i'm going to get a ton of **** for saying this, but I "had" one I made out of PVC tube and a DC fan for a computer. Well I hooked it all up to a switch that turns on and off during full accelleration. The fan drew alot of air, but it still sucked major donkey.. So, don't waste your time nor cash.. Save up for real mods like a turbo or some motor werk..
