There is no cheap substitute that I am aware of.

That's a good intake, but it does not dyno as well as the J's Racing or the Mugen intake.

 

password knock-off j's is awesome. i have it and love it

that one is also in the thoughts. i think it is almost identical. PWJDM almost claims it to be identical anyways....and ive read good things about it.

 

yes it is 99.99% identical. minus the not perfectly smooth inside walls, unlike the j's..no big deal though

 

get a comptech icebox...awesome throttle response throughout the powerband.

 

i've seen replica mugen airboxes. i know someone who had one. sold it for like 80 bucks i think.

i'm not sure tho if dynoing is accurate with short ram intakes..
don't short rams suck up hot air in the engine bay? and when the car is on a dyno, the hood is always open and a fan blowing, right?

Well, the other side of that is you'll find dozens of people who'll swear that the erstwhile advantage of the cold air tube in the fender or behind the parking light is purely apocryphal.

The only thing I can go by is the dyno, and that shows an advantage to the Mugen and J's over the Comptech Icebox.

This particular DC2 driver got rid of an Icebox in favour of another cold air intake, pictured above.

 

yah i sold my comptech icebox cuz i thought i was going boosted, then i got a j's racing when i decided to stay all motor.
my car is just bolt ons so i kinda liked the icebox better..because it wasn't so loud at WOT and it was legal..but dyno numbers don't lie i guess

 

almost 500 views and no one knows.

 

http://www.jdmshit.com DID make one...I dunno if it's still in production...

thanks. i might get ahold of them and see...
any one else know of anything?

 

inlinefour? i was thinking in modified the OEM box, use spoon filter and install a 3" hose below the box to a direct entry of air.....what about that?

 

i had one while back but never got to use it.
i got it off ebay.
jdmshit had it at one point.
i wish i still have it so i can hook it up to my j's racing duct.

JDMshit.com didn't make them, but Newman did have some available, and posted a thread about it a long time ago. It just uses a dryer hose style pick up on the bottom of the clamshell style box.
