I made my DIY Ice box out of my stock air filter box and coupled it with my AEM short ram, how come now my car is ALOT better in the low end (pulls more) than it did before?

Thanks! I just needa make a cover for the back were the pipe runs into the box to allow cool air to remain inside now

 

you sure it's not just in your head? usually cold air is all about top end power, and the icebox design loses to AEM CAI in terms of top end too.

 

to be completly honest I noticed a differance in low end power when I put on my short ram. Wasn't a lot but the increase in high end was more noticable than the decrease in low end. In for pictures!

 

Ill snap some pics tomorrow since its dark outside now..

 

I got some pics now...

 

looks clean

 

thanks I still needa cover the opening towards the back were the pipe goes into the housing, I am gonna fab up some sheetmetal or some sort tomorrow.

 

I dont get it. so what did you do? jsut cover the filter with a box?

well he basically covered the short ram, and ran a pipe from the bottom of the short ram to behind the passenger side turn signal.

just the thing i still can't fully grasp is how ur car can pul ALOT better in the low end, unless it's because covering up your filter from the heat of the engine really made that much of a dramatic difference; which i can't really see happening.

butt dyno's lie sometimes, so take it with a grain of salt

 

i did a similar thing for my gsr here is my thread:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1487415

and i like it alot better than having it just "out there" in the open too, i really didnt feel much a difference good or bad, so at least it didnt hurt my performance. but who knows butt dynos are misleading.

 

What piping did u run from the air box to the fender. BSQ's kit? i think i am going to get that + front lip+blox im from my tax return...hopefully i will get enough back for that.

 

i used the black piping from the stock resonator. i just cracked the resonator open and viola, perfect fit. they only thing i would like to add is a velocity stack to it.

 

i &lt;3 my icebox

 

where did you get the comptech ice box and for how much?

 

The bottom portion of the comptech ice box is about 200 alone. You can get one from BSQ and it is basically the same thing for 30 bux. Then just go to ebay and buy a cheap sri and run it into ur stock box.

 

haha i made my own ice box with an aem SRI and the stock air box also. makes it more silent and a little barely notices some low end power. when i mean just a little like u put fresh oil in ur car kind of feel.

 

you guys can get a brand new comptech ice box intake system for 150 something on ebay. check it out, dont know why people paying over 200

my aem was on sale at the time so i got it pretty cheap like 80+ bux. also my old filter was done for. it was made in korea so it didnt last that long.....cheap aftermarket filters. and the K&N oem replacement was 70 so i paid the extra for the intake.
