Do I sound like a dumbass/idiot if I said an intake can NEVER add 15whp?
1BADrSx even tell me to do a search first

sorry, gotta rant, peace

P.S.: I am not trying to flame. I am just trying to give/get correct information

 

15 whp? perhaps 3-5 whp....

 

3-5 whp sounds about right. I read that the RSX can pick up 10 whp with an AEM CAI..

 

RSX's are seeing disgusting gains with simple Intakes. Completely different than Integras. I believe it. Injen & AEM's claims in the beginning were a bit ridiculous, but I wouldnt doubt 10-12. Numerous people have had similar results.

 

GSRs gain ~10whp on average w/ the AEM/ICEMAN CAIs

 

so are you saying that GSR's have a similar whp output type R engines have with just the intake?

 

my GSR put down 157.9whp with just an AEM

 

Hell, my GSR put down 161 with a short ram intake. But i have some sort of freakish wednesday motor

 

Nope I saw a artical the other month and with simple bolt ons a RSX-S made like an extra 20 WHP. Makes me sick I guess the new I-Vtec is the next great thing.

 

An AEM can add 15 horse on lots of cars. Unfortunately it adds 15 horse in the 4000rpm AEM bump area. It wouldn't add 15 peak horse though.

 

I can't believe there are so many people think a CAI can add 15whp on H-T.
O wait, is this superhonda?

And a question to the people who said AEM gives 10-15whp to their gsr:
Why Honda bother to go port and polish the R head, put low friction coating on the piston, single runner intake, modified exhaust etc etc while they can just drop a CAI in the gsr to give similar gains?
(I am not talking about the suspension part or anything else, just the motor output.)

 

It wont in most cases. I only put down 152/112 with a CAI, but put down 169/122 with CAI, JDM ITR 4-1, custom exhaust, carsound cat and minor VAFC tuning. An ITR will still be faster putting down 160/120 so who cares?

 

Unless you've personally dynoed numerous intakes for the K20 engine and have experience with K20s, I wouldn't be so quick to doubt.

Sorry, but after that comment I'd have to say yes.

j/k

EDIT: Oops, forgot one important part.

Make you think some people are dreaming huh?
I guess the higher compression, bigger cams, higher redline, and better exhaust were a waste of hondas time too. <sarcasm>Those oldschool power boosters are such a gimmick. A filter on a pipe is where the power is.</sarcasm>
