I have a ~13.3:1 86.5x89 engine (in a EG6 Civic) with a nice flat torque curve.
I do beleive the current AEM hybrid CAI intake I use is not the best choice, I am sure there is room for serious improovement...

What do U use guys for a engine sg. like this, what is your experience?

 

custom plenum would probly be the best........or itbs

i got a skunk2 mani that was ported and matched to my head and throttle body.. havnt run it yet so who knows how it will work. if it sucks ill try something differnt..

o ya thats on a 85x89 13.5:1

 

Thanks!
I meant intake pipe and filter, NOT the manifold or TB...
(btw: I currently use a IB ported ITR and tend to switch to Endyn fabrication)

 

I just fired up my 13+:1 85x87.2 engine. Currently on the J's Racing intake but will be testing the 3" short ram + Bpi Velocity Stack + filter after engine is run in.

 

possible a 3''+ intake piping with a VS or something of that nature.. j's is garbage..your goin to make more power with a 3'' CAI then u would with that thing.

 

I use/recommend 3+" custom tube with BPi stack and K&N filter on my 2L.

My buddy did some testing with his motor on the dyno with tube length and turns out - shorter was better!

 

why not a 3inch cai such as aem itr, and then slap a vs on that, and then cut a whole in the bumper , i have a 96 ek, so thats why i have to cut a whole, but for real, this is what im trying, ive never heard of it being done

 

i have a 3" SRI that i made out of 3" mandrels and a BPI stack with the K&N filter that goes with it. i will tell ya that the bpi/k&n combo might be a bit large to fit into a fenderwell to maintain the whole CAI thing wich im not a fan of anyway...

why don't you like a cai? hydro lock? my solution to the vs and k&n filter being too big is being the hks filter that has a built in velocity stack, im sure its not as good as bpi's, but will allow you to fit it into the fenderwell, and get ram air action as well

 

I will get a BPI vs for sure with a K&N filter and play with a shorter CAI...

 

sounds good man, if you want to run a short ram, you can always run some tubing where the hole goes into the fenderwell and will redirect some colder air by sourcing it from the front of the bumper

 

i had a generic HKS clone with the built in stack, trust me theres a huge difference between the stack thats built in and a full radiused stack like the BPI.

also i dont really think that CAI's work that great but thats a different debate all together.

 

CAI will always work before because they improve the density of the air rather then the speed.. if its 180+ under yourhood, and 80 degress outside, your putting roughly 60 degree colder air into your motor therefore your making the air more useable.. with a cai there's a possible increaseof 7.7 percent of power depending on mods..

 

haahaha ohhhh....

i got a 3" pipe with prototype v-stack then..
