Just wondering what kind of power gains I should be expecting from an ebay short ram air intake. I purchased one, installed it on my car, and compared to the stock intake it seems to run a ridiculous amount better, especially when I rev it high.


****, forgot to mention that I'm running a b16a1.

 

long time ago, I did the same and I ended up loosing power. Found that stock ITR flowed much better. Go figure...

 

A cold air intake usually only gives you about 2-3 more hp tops. Especially if
its an ebay special. Maybe your air filter on the original intake was just
plugged up?

 

there was a post recently about this...

and a post of intake tests including an ebay intake

Short rams suck hot underhood air.......which is not a good thing for power. What you gain in flow you lose from hot air being less dense. Go CAI or stay stock.
