short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
are they even safe to use? i was reading somewhere, cant find the link right now, that even with a good filter they suck in larger dirt particles than a stock air box filter.
i have some random in take i got off a friend free but the filter is old so i cant to get a new on. what is a good one to use? its a 2" 1/2' piping. |
Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
Any filter is gonna some amounts of dirt in so dont worry too much. For the intake question i would say start fresh with something like aem cold air or short ram

Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
isnt the tubing i have fine? i really dont see much different in the AEM piping and lets say the ebay ones.

Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
ya piping is piping for the intake. just get an aem of k&n filter
|
Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
does K&N make a filter with a 2 1/2 inch opening? i couldnt find one

MAP sensor based motors [such as Hondas] rely on a very specific metering rate of air into the intake manifold. The map sensor uses pressure differentials from the manifold to generate small amounst of current with a piezo resistive crystal. What I am trying to say is that if you use intake tubing that was not meant for that vehicle [or sh*t that was made poorly] then you alter the rate and movement of the air entering the manifold. By altering this flow, the MAP sensor may have a hard time regulating the A/F ratio efficiently. |
Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
I've been looking into getting a shorty for a while now, and I just want to know what's the best mid-ranged one to get, price wise. I've been looking at a AEM for $130, but I heard about some for $100-$105.
Please help me out, and I'm not partial to Ebay for car parts, because you never know what your gonna get, Thanks |

but the crx does not have a sensor that goes in to the intake pipe

The map sensor is generally on the throttle body

Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
Another question. Do the mess up your gas miliage? Does it help does it not help or does it not even make any difference?
|
Re: short ram/cold air intakes. few questions
The intake should help with gas mileage.
And I think Puertoricanboy90 is thinking of MAF sensors which some of the newer hondas use. |
