That's understandable. Your paint seem like it's in good shape. What kind of power are you putting out?

 

its making 315hp 210tq to the wheels at 8 pounds of boost, Duma I can't lower it anymore, my traction bar is already pretty much dragging on the ground! I want some new wheels also, But I think that would make my car a target, I like some regamasters, but those things are pretty pricey!

 

i didnt have a problem installing my pwjdm intake my car used to have ABS but i removed it i am gonna bend new lines sometime soon and relocate it to my firewall instead of on the shock tower side i think it looks better sorry my engine bay is a littler dirty lol also dropped my battery down to the traction bar






and if you get a slimmer battery you cant mount it like this




think it looks cleaner with the dropped battery or a relocated battery

 

What car is it for Steve?

I'm gonna put my battery behind the bumper if I have room.

 

nope, im frm Nor*Cal.

 

my old DA.... if anyone knoe's who bought my car. let me knoe. im sure he lurking in here. i believe he is located sumwhere in eastbay ca.

 

The Whale ***** Intake is GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dave, whats up, welcome to the squad!
We just all got together Monday, where were you?

 

It's not the best looking thing. Is it even better then any old intake?

 

really? I did not know, I gotta check things out more, when is the next meet?

 

Not sure really, that was spur of the moment since it was nice out.

HB240, I think an AEM Short Ram outperforms that, its a gimmick, something labeled JDM so all the groupies fell in love with it.

 

i love the way the whale ***** intake looks. i think its pretty sweet. but they had some pretty nice power claims which is another reason i liked it, but i wanna know for sure what the best one is so i know what spend my money on since im actually plannin on stayin all motor with my daily driver

 

3 inch piece of pipe with BPI velocity stack or just a blox velocity stack with a filter!
The length of the pipe can be played with depending on your motor setup.

 

The ***** is loud, that's about it. Power claims are just that, claims.


I ordered my PICs today, YAY!

 

LoL, that might need a (NO Homo) disclaimer

 

Stevo-DA.
I bet if you put a real header on there and a better intake that will feel like a totally different car!

 

ok, next question, how do you know what length to use then? (i hate feelin like a damn n00b over a freakin intake!)

also, i can ****** an aem intake from a friend for 25 bucks...how are they compared to what they claim power wise?

 

It depends, normally people tune the length on the dyno. It all depends on your motor setup, search for it, there are some threads.
I'd say go with like a foot, foot and a half pipe.
You can but a 3 inch piece of Intercooler pipe off ebay for around that.

 

for some reason i prefer injen intakes over aem

 

All in advertising and brand loyalty. Like I said above:
3 Inch Intercooler Pipe or so.

 

no i mean like i've had a injen SRI in my car, and an aem intake in my car. and over all you dont feel much difference from an intake, maybe minor if anything, but the sound from the injen was godly

 

I had a iceman intake and that wasn't to bad

 

heres a update.. tomorrow im bolting dwn the fenders and front bumper ill take more all around shots when its day also im getting stock steelies tomorrow hopefully it will raise my car as of now the cat sits on the ground ( no bueno) lol well heres the pics

 

its for a dc2 w/abs

i got the pwjdm intake for 100 bucks from my friends shop im not complaining, i know i want a nice header i had one i was gonna put on but it got stolen along with my stereo **** out of my jeep..... and right now i dont have the money to fork out for another 900 dollar header. when i start my new job in january and get everything back on track i plan on getting a new header and building my own intake w/a ice box the header was just temp cause my stock one crackd

 

::Cough:: LsV :Cough: ITBs! engine looks nice stevo make me miss my lsvtec heres a pic
