I feel like an SRI with the hear shield and air ram will produce the maximum power, but would only be most effective when driving at higher speeds. Or am I wrong?

 

This is an old *** argument. Should have searched the forums prior to posting this.

Ebay pipe and velocity stack.

 

Oh, yeah I guess I should have, but where is my damn poll?!

 

Crap my search button isn't working for some reason, so I'll just ask: is it a CAI with a velocity stack or the SRI, heat shield, air ram with a velocity stack?

 

Advanced search. Not that search button at the top right. Why in blazes would you put a velocity stack on a CAI?

 

Yeah drop down isn't showing up for some reason, oh well it'll start working again later. As for the CAI, I dunno I figured you smooth out the air flow even more, but I guess it's already smooth enough.

 

"Smooth out"? What does that even mean? Right now it doesn't sound like you know what it is you're talking about.

 

el searcho button.

ten bucks says theres another poll/question/debate/argument maybe 3 pages back.

sri/ vstack/ tune the length. booya. or 200 on aem v2 cai.

 

By "smooth out" I meant for the air to travel at the right velocity and speeds into the cylinder as as to where it is less turbulent and more "smooth".

But in a sense i do have a vague concept of what a velocity stack is. By the name of it, I assumed a velocity stack increases the velocity of the air moving through the intake piping and into the cylinder after the intake valves open. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Yeah... my search button was acting weird at that time; I found what i was looking for and then some including some dynos!

 

OEM

 

Yeah, but the stock piping (I guess you guy call them "arms"?) is so small. If it were a late model Civic I'd agree, because these days auto R&D is as good, if not better, than most aftermarket companies.

 

Overall it doesn't matter. You won't get any significant gains. You'll get the most out of a velocity stack SRI combo but nothing that matters. Like I said, old *** topic. Hence the answer OEM.

 

Bummer, I guess missed out on all the good debates already. Either way, I knew I'd only net a few hp a tq before I even saw the dyno charts, which I was actually quite surprised by. I wasn't looking for significant hp gains, really I'm looking to increase throttle response a little, after all, I'm mostly just a daily driver and the occasional midnight canyon runner at best.

If I were looking for gains I'd definitely drop a larger motor and turbocharge. I was looking into an h22 but the swap doesn't seem to be as common as the b series ...probably due to the ease of the b series motors being a direct swap - correct me if I'm wrong. The k motors are killer but I haven't even looked into that yet.

 

Advanced search>H2B.

 

Thank you good sir.
