Default refreshingly different civic intake


intake system made by bmc . . . they supply air filters to formula one teams (ferrari being a very notable one )


seems to be a decent amount of technology packed inside


clueless about price. but probably a pretty penny. watd u guys think?

"CDA filtering system, now available in the second step EVO 2, is connected to an air intake in the front of the car through a black alloy ducting. Thanks to the dynamic air intake you have a true supercharging system that conveys cold air at a speed and capacity much bigger than with traditional systems. The airflow entering through the dynamic intake is still further accelerated due to the conical flow variator inside the carbon dynamic air box. Finally, dynamic overboosting, greater airflow, higher pressure and colder air are the elements assuring a considerable increase in engine performance in power and torque. Thus demonstrated by several tests on a Dyno. CDA EVO2 WING, available in 2 dimensions, can be fitted on every kind of car. "

I believe it is.

Seems to me like a lot of extra bullshit. The best flow possible is that of a straight through design, now I know that we must run filters, but would`nt the most basic designed filter provide the greatest air transfer??

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> you have a true supercharging system </TD></TR></TABLE>
^^Words I stay away from in products like air filters.

And:<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The airflow entering through the dynamic intake is still further accelerated due to the conical flow variator inside the carbon dynamic air box.

How is that possible? How can more curves provide more airflow? And can that air be any colder than that of an Iceman or other cold air system?
This is a little too much to believe. IMO, I can`t see creating any better filter design than already exists on the market today.

Looks cool though

I'll have to agree with Sin 2 on this one. Yes, it's refreshing to see a different intake every once in a while, but I just can't see the curves and such in that particular intake, and just the way it's designed, could be any better than other CAI's.

Yeah I'm not feeling the dryer ducting looking stuff. That's how you make the big power though. By making the air as turbulent as you can before it reaches the intake manifold!!
