I am looking for a new Intake for my GSR. My AEM Cold Air shitted out on me just recently(a huge whole rubbed through). I'm left w/ the whole the size of a dime or larger. I don't know what route to go now. My setup is JDM ITR 4-1 header, 2.5 carsound cat, Greddy Evo catback. The AEM CAI did me well, but I don't know if I wanna risk it rubbing through again. I also thought if I get a short ram type intake I will maybe get some throttle response back. I hear the icebox is a good choice.

Anyone wanna give me their insight?

BTW, my plans for the car are pretty much on hold right now, so just assume this is all I will run for a while.

 

i would consdier the icebox if i didnt already have the AEM already.

Injen and Comptech make good intakes so look there.

 

Look at this pipe...never seen it...

Made by Top speed. It's carbon fiber and for the GSR. Only $140, then I could throw my AEM filter on the end of that...

 

comptech shorty/icebox combo

 

Also, if I want the IceBox...where can I buy everything I need. Do I need anything from my stock box? I dunno if I have it anymore or not.

look on ebay and im sure you will find the same carbon fiber thing for about 30-50 bucks.

 

Heres my setup:

AEM short ram = $80 (any ebay 2.5" diameter short ram will probably do as well)
K&N RU-2820 air filter = $30
BSQ ice box arm = $30

So total around $140 for a nice setup. Probably even cheaper if you can get a generic short ram intake and if you make your own bsq ice box arm.

 

stock filter + KN filter + some way to cut the stock filter to attach the KN filter = good DIY system

 

id to icebox. but since you dont want the aem, that elminates the v2.

 

Icebox fool!!!

 

F*** V2 if your gonna spend that kind of money (300+) then get an icebox like comptechs (too bad arc doesnt make one for GSR) - Its the same principle of cold air induction w/o the chance of something like hydrolock.

 

Comptech Icebox, IMO.

 

I'm gonna be installing my DIY icetake arm pretty soon on my stock airbox... if I switch to a short ram, is it still gonna be beneficial?

 

Hmmm...$300 is a lot for an intake. I might just get a AEM CAI again...

 

diy icebox, i wouldnt spend that much on just an intake.

Yup. Best of both worlds -- throttle response + cold air to breathe in

thats my pick too!!

or get the comptech icebox setup!!

i have the AEM shorty with DIY icetake

 

i just bought this intake off ebay of 24 shipped it should give better throttle response i also just got a hole in my cai . we all learn from our mistakes

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...38634

you probaly can still do the DIY icebox.

 

Looks like the arc powerchamber ...

actually ... looks like a bent muffler ... so no filter ? i cant see how it fits back in there witht eh manifold .... wutever works - post pics when you get it on dc2gsrmang

 

I would either fix the hole or get another aem because of the cost.

 

i think aem is the way to go just get another one. or maybe a injen..

 

stock intake arm w/ icebox, and k&n filter instead of stock filter. Good throttle response and cold air. most people who run the icebox use the stock arm. I don't see using the short ram in conjunction w/ the icebox making that much of a difference.

 

Yea, i'm prob just gonna get another original CAI from AEM. ONly like $180. The main problem was I bought this first one used and it was fucked up before I even put it on. It had dents in it and whatnot. Holes already patched. Piece of ****. Maybe if I get a new one I can install it correctly and fix the problem.

 

i got my cai on ebay for $52 shipped. it works just fine. plus if it rain i can covert is to short ram.

 

I have the Comptech Icebox and short ram.

It's a great intake.
