Hi all
Just got my first car and started modding it "95 honda civic 1.3 eg....heres few a pics


Mods still to come

Rota gt3's(not sure what colour yet)
Painting bonnet/hood black
K&N Air intake filter with custom piping
Lowering springs
New Plates
Splitters all round
Seat Covers
And a few stickers ie. Shocker

Now i always had it in my mind that i was putting a cold air intake on my car but this is where it sits in the wheel bay...as seen below.BUT there is a possibility of it sucking up water and hydrolocking my engine!

My idea is to put a hood scoop right on the hood where the intake is...that way the short ram is getting a direct supply of cold air without the disadvantage of being down by the wheel bay where there is a possibility of it sucking up water

Now I Know there is MANY hood scoops but there all HUGE and look gay to be honest so i have here a picture of the front of a blista compact off Gta I.V and i want it to look like that - Prefferebly round but i dont really mind the other is a set of vents on a toyota altezza i would like just one and that it would have no crazy dimensions....SO any idea where ill get either?

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP

 

i had to read your post like 10 times.

get a bypass valve

/thread

 

Ummm...

 

dont do it bro, unless you have some air starved ITB set up you'll regret that negligible gain...Also, you're forgetting rain comes from the sky, not just sitting in puddles. Hood scoop would let rain into your bay, all over your intake.

 

TROLLL!!!

 

thanks all for your help i still wouldnt use a bypass valve cos i would NOT trust it. @UCLA.lion would be putting it in front of the intake not above it but are you saying there would be **** all of a difference in power?And sorry if i didnt come accross that well im irish and abreviate things

 

Basically no difference. Just do a short ram if youre that worried. Or get a bypass valve they work. I saw a vid somewhere of it working on a high powered car.

 

you live in nigeria where the air is WARM

 

i have a bypass valve im trying to sell. 25 bucks obo

 

i dont know why people put intakes on turds

 

have you ever been to the grand canyon?If you have why the **** didnt you jump in

 

 

haha okay
