so i took some insperation from his disigen and this is what i came up with so far iam still working on it ...


iam still trying to find a good way to mount it right now i just have a thin peace of steel bolted down underneath it with a zip tie going around it holding it down iam useing an HKS filter btw

 

not bad at all. way better than my attempt at a home made intake.

props

is english your first language?

 

yea sorry not the best speller

 

i figured lol

good job regarless. btw theres a spell check when you type your post. look for the abc checkmark. for future referece.

 

Any modifications to your MAF? And do you know how much X charges for his intakes?

 

no i didnt do any thing to my MAF i just took the MAF housing from the top portion of the air box the (hardest part of mod unless you have a good dremel tool) its really easy to do and much much cheeper then spending 250 bucks on some shinny piping the HKS filter cost me 80$ at super autobacs and the blue coupler cost me 7$ and autozone

 

I smell a Check engine light in your near future.

 

what makes you say that ? i have been driving with this set up now for two days so far and no CEL

 

you removed the lower half of the intake? you basically made a diy short ram...

I think I read $300 shipped, which IMO isn't a bad price at if it really does get the 12ish WHP promised. I think I read it's about 3 hours to modify the MAF housing alone, plus along with parts (oem = money I guess) and shipping, he's not really charging too much.

x will sell u just the modified maf, he charges like 1xx ish i think, did u upgrade to the crv tube?

 

no iam only useing si parts, modified MAF? hes moding the sensor ?

 

yes he has a proprietary method of modifying the maf, hes kinda hush hush about the details there is some info here for those of u that dont know all the details http://8thcivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55780

i was going though this thread last night. was trying to read most of it but i didnt read any where that he was moding his sensor just the housing. he was fileing down the vanes to be more areodinamic i guess

what proof do you have ? dyno sheets ? was it a new HKS filter? 10 hp?, hard to belive

 

i believe u are correct, the sensor itself is untouched, just the housing and vanes are modified

 

it just happens that i run the dyno at my shop

we tuned my buddys h22 civic and it seemed really down on power, so i took the 3 month old hks filter off and put on an aem dry flow.. this is the difference



i didnt test the dry flow vs no filter on this car, but i did on a customers turbo car that was making around 375hp, the dry flow made zero difference. for comparison, a k&n will usually cause the turbo to spool a little slower and cost about 5-10hp at that level.

 

^ ok ill keep this info in mind thanx

 

BTW its been a week and no CEL and will be changing my filter soon after seeing this

This is my attempt on an intake after almost hydrolocking my car with an aem cold air, all I did was cut the cold air tube up and added some hose clamp and bam dont, no cel and no problems with over 100 miles on in!
