is this a good intake? wuts the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake? wuts better?

Re: best intake and lowering springs for del sol (del sol: LEDGEND KILLER!)
 

A CAI(cold air intake) sucks in cold air, hence the name cold air intake. In civic's (I dont know about del sols) the filter element is inside the fender away from the heat of the engine. A short ram is just like taking the stock filter box off and putting a cone (or whatever shape you like) filter on the end of it, but with better pipping. Short rams are inside the engine bay close to heat from the engine.

As for which is better, it depends on what kind of gains(which are very minimal on stock engines) you want. With a CAI you will see more gains in the upper rpm range. And with a short ram, you will see more gains in the mid rpm range. There are tons of threads about them, just do a search.

Edit: that isn't an exhaust that is the intake. And it is a Fake J's intake. From what I've read they are extremely loud.

Get an ICEMAN intake. They're awsome. Made from a plastic instead of a Metal. Makes a sweet sound when you gun the gas too!

Best lowering springs are H&R racing springs.

that intake on ebay is fine, just replace the filter they give you with a K&N filter. Also be wary, that is not really a mugen intake, its just a generic intake with a mugen sticker.

The "penis shaped" intakes are all fake J's racing intakes.

Dont forget, because a CAI is low to the ground, if you live in an area where it rains a lot i would not suggest getting it. If water gets sucked in say goodbye to your engine.

An intake will cost you about $100 off ebay, the intake + shipping + good filter.

That leaves you about $300 for lowering, get eibach sportlines, theyll run you a little over 300 after shipping. http://www.nopionline.com/nopi...g.jpg

I have the J's knock-off and I love it. It's a little on the loud side (thats what you want, right?) so you'll love it too. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

i had H&R springs on mine and I loved them, they weren't the race springs though. The reason I went with them was one they were H&R (quality stuff) and two they had specific spring rates for the del sol, not some civic springs that fit a del sol.

just my .02

i'm happy with my neuspeeds... and i'm also happy with my Original AEM CAI.. dont spend over even 200 on springs... you can find the same springs somewhere else cheaper....

I thought short rams gave power in the high rpm range and CAI gave power in the mid to high rpm range. Also that that CAI gives better gains than a short ram intake but has a slower response than a short ram.

LOL!

Like everyone said, get a cheap intake (CAI or short ram, your choice) and put a good filter on there.

this web site says they dont have any to fit a del sol. they only have ones for a civic. will the civic fake J intake fit in a del sol???? and can someone verify where the J intake would give any power. either in the low, mid, or high rpm range?

also since i dont have an exaust. will the intake kinda sound like a good exaust? since every one is saying its loud!

or does anyone have an audio clip of thier car with the J or fake J intake?

im very happy all of u are helping me with this! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

as long as you have a side port intake manifold then it will fit
