I have a stock 95 GSR.
Trying to find the right intake system.
I've narrowed it down to these 3 right here.
One thing is that i dont think the ARC is going to fit in my GSR.
They make them for the Type-R but thats because of the ABS unit.

So out of all of these 3 which one would be better suited for my setup.

Also, is there a way to make the ARC intake fit on a GSR?

If you can, please provide info on what you think is the best intake, and why.

 

honestly... intake is intake is intake.... u will notice almost no difference between said intakes. but there are a couple things to take into consideration

how mechanically inclined are you?
-short ram is easier than cold air (although both are simple installs)
how much rain is there in your area?
-cold air has the dreaded "hydrolock" scare that can turn people away very quickly
how much money do you wanna spend
-v2 is something >$200 i believe, that's very expensive for a tube with a filter on the end of it


thats all i can think of.... hope it helped

 

I think all of the ones that i have listed are more than just "A tube with a Filter".
They are technologically advanced.
Alot of Time and research has been put into them.
I've seen the Dyno sheets and they actually do perform better than "eBay intakes"

 

Seriously, even different branded CAI make a difference:

It's not just a tube with a filter. People always say that but don't back it up.

 

as an owner of a V2 on my SOHC civic it made a difference.

My GSR I jsut modded my stock intake to use my AEM filter for now.

They might make an ARC for SIR-G or SI-vtec btu I dont know for sure. but ARC is very expensive.

I have heard many great reviews for the comptech icebox and its only like 170.

 

There are also DIY "ice boxes" out there, if you are into doing that.

I was looking into that as well. If i find some Dyno sheets i'll post them up.

Do you know how much HP does it give you? about roughly?

HAHAHAHA. Yah right. You cant even find a used comtech ice box for 170.

I would agree wiht someone else on here. Go the DIY ice box route. This is the route which i will be doing once i get my tax $ back. BSQ makes a kit that is only $30. http://www.geocities.com/bretq/DIY_Icebox_CAI.html Then i would get a cheap SRI tube and replace the stock pipe with that.

Another good intake is the Password JDM "whale *****." Its about 170 and everyone highly reguards this intake. Plus there is no chance of hydrolocking ur motor since its a SRI.

A final route that i would go if i didnt prefer the two above, is just a basic AEM cold air intake. They perform very well. Just one thing i would spend extra money on is the bypass valve which is $40. Pretty much eliminates the chance of hydrolocking ur motor. That is why i dont recommend a V2. Chance of hydrolocking ur motor. Not worth the extra $100 either in terms of HP gains.

If you want the most horsepower possible, you can either go with a velocity stack, or ITB. ITB are VERY expensive but you can DIY with some from a GSX 700 bike. Im not sure if that is the exact bike, bike many people have gone that route. Velocity stacks are also very impressive performers, and you can now actually by filters for them also. Just search for them in the archives and you should find plenty of info on them.

Good luck and i hope my info has helped you make a decision

Do a quick Google search and you'll find a number of sites selling the Integra Ice Box for $170 or less.

 

ARC

you were saying?

imho, if u saved a few more bucks u can have major upgrades instead of the basic I/H/E stuff. u can get cams, intake manifold, valvetrain, port polish ur head. i think that only after u do those modification should you then do IHE mods because then u will see the true gains with the IHE.

for example. installing a reputable brand header on ur car right now will give u a little bit more ponies but it is still nothing special but if u do some work to the head and then slap on the header, u will see bigger gains.

 

Does somebody have a link to the ARC for the "Si-VTEC / SiR-G" Integras?

 

ask the Type -R guys. all the ARC intake is good for is show. it gets heat soaked real fast and is less effective than a stock intake. save your money.

 

The link for the comptec box is for the box only, you still have to buy the filter kit.

Thats only half of it. They also make the tubing part which goes from what you posted to the TB. I think i saw it for 140.

EDIT: I guess were both right. I was thinking the "Icebox" included the intake tubing plus the ducting from fender.

thats true, but u also have to consider the fact that most companies that make aftermarket cams recommend that airflow be significantly increased. obviously the grind of the cams would effect wether or not they can be used with stock airflow, but thats just something to think about.

to the original poster, first thing u should decide is if u want CAI or SRI. CAI will make a little more power in the top end, SRI will eliminate the risk of hydrolock and get u better throttle response. ur motor is stock so either one won't make too much of a difference. if u want a CAI, i would look into the AEM CAI for the type r. seen pretty good dyno graphs for it and most of the all motor guys swear by it. if u want SRI, i would look at the J's Racing (password jdm) SRI. most SRI will be the same and it gives a little cosmetic boost under the hood. good luck with whatever u decide.
