vote.vote.vote.

ducting is the hard option i have F all room under bonnet..

[Denver]

needs a scoop like this

[locote]

i can start another poll just for you..

[dmwill]

Love the engrish in the description....


Adhesive tap on the base.

Adhesive tap? Awesome.


This item can be used for decoration and you can also make a hole on hood and let air go through the scoop in engine area to make engine turbo in cooler condition.

So I can make a turbo by just drilling a hole and fitting this scoop?

[JBAE]

HOT!!!!! DOOOIT

If you must have a vent....

[locote]

Was just a spontanious idea and thought id throw a poll, to see ppls thoughts..
Looks like ill ill be cutting and fitting some ducting...

[kurbn]

NA cars should stay with K&N Panel filters in factory air boxes imo, then plumb CAI into the air box.

[V8ENZ]

Build a proper box and ducting

[Lonewolf]

yep, box + duct
that said, a motor sucks enough air to empty an engine bay so fast its not funny

[Torquen]

Fog light not an option for placement of POD?

[ChrisGTR]

No comment

[Phyber]

I think you all missed this on the listing amongst the engrish hilarity


Cool and nice design.


How can you NOT do it?

Might put one on my swift.
pingpingpingpings will think I have a WRX.
Not to mention the performance gain, best bang for buck mod IMO.

Probs missed out on u.s car show thread.

Just a heads up, nothing more.

[XF Falcon]

lol, agreed :D

[family guy]

guessing it is for the crx? I know they got plastic fenders but how bout the bonnet. I like the pressed in vents in steel bonnets my self. But it is a bit old school. Also dont mind the flat cosworth style bonnet scoops that could suit the crx. maybe worse comes to worse one of the other vents that are on a wrx bonnet. not the main intercooler one. thats just a few suggestions.

[duste]

Another one for NACA ducts - very clean and efficient.

Pro Race stock them: http://www.proraceproducts.com.au/

[c.rusli]

dude! take off your headlight
and get billion intake

done ;) u got ur self a VERY VERY COLD intake!

http://teamssgarage.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/crx-first-competition.jpg

or duct it to ur engine like below?

even a customized headlight

^^Yes, they're brilliant. I've seen them molded seamlessly into many a commodore. Most of the time it just looks like it came stock with it :lol:

[streatracer]

Scoop above pod=good idea......just not that scoop lol

[mitchy]

i like this style

OTR is basically a combo CAI and airbox, so he wasn't far of the mark
It's just not many cars on the market offer decent aftermarket airboxes

[AGIT8D]

K&N panel filter in a stock airbox and OTR is not nearly close IMO. Results speak for themselves on the roller road and at the track.

My car had the K&N panel and 2-hole mod and pinged like a bitch from heat soak, was an absolute nightmare.

Got an OTR fabbed up in alloy and the problem went away instantly, and SOTP says it went harder (probably because I could rev to redline without ping)

*edit* To me it makes sense to make the airpath from outside the car to the throttlebody as short and cold as possible, which is where the big difference between standard airbox and OTR lies. I'm not a mechanic or a tuner and don't claim to be either but in my experience listed above I've found the 2 applications to be worlds apart.

I don't doubt it.
My point is that the OTR is an airbox + CAI, but obviously a much better design than factory airbox setup.

Either way it's better than a pod sitting in a hot engine bay sucking up hot air which was Bangn and my point.

[kurbn]

that LS1 intake is a bit different, the air induction is still confined within something that is not going to just breath in hot air. It has also been properly fabricated to suit the car.

I myself have a pod, but only because the factory air box will pose as a restriction when the turbo is trying to pull air in, it is still going to heatsoak but its still a small power increase over the factory air box.

Thats why I say that for NA cars only. But for a CRX that can only suck in as much air as it can under vacume, making the sucking area larger (removing air box) is not going to help it imo, if anything you want to keep it a little bit restricted to increase intake velocity. Thats just how I see it anyway

[locote]

I dont have D16 in my CRX anymore which is the factory motor it came with...
The standard intake pipe and box would be a restriction to a B18c for sure.

[R3N]

angle grinder and go nuts

[mr_mike]

on my TX3 years ago i used the side vent from a M sports r33 bumper then cut out and fiberglassed it into the bonnet. Looked nice and neat and was directly over the pod filter.

a stock airbox on a 6L thunder made more power then a k&n pod filter but OTR is deffinatly much better. sorry not trying to state te obvoiuse but proved this on the weekend. about 12hp diffrence between airbox and the pod if not more.

I find this interesting, because I'd have thought that really, intake air temps would make sweet fuck all difference to chamber temps.... but i know nothing :)

[RICEY]

If intake air temps made no difference there wouldnt be a need for intercoolers :D

[Lump]

they do make a difference, resistance to ping being the main one.
but starting from a lower base temp with a cai can only help matters even if it is sfa.

[Jiblet]

the lower the temperature the more dense the air. the more dense the air the more air that gets into your engine. the more air in the engine the more combustion. the more combustion the more power. the more power the more smiles.

therefore, more CAI = more smiles.

thats why you feel more power when winter comes along and then get disappointed when its summer again and say "shit i need more power" and spend heaps of money.

[Brockas]

True.

But if your car is so gay that you notice a 3hp power increase due to some faggy vent, then you're probably not going to be smiling much at all.

[Magic]

check and mate.

[Chase_d]

On the bumper I had on my CRX the foglights were removed and there was some ducting fed up through there to the intake (resonator was removed) - honestly dont think there was a gain at all.

Edit: Just realised the aussie model CRX's never came with foglight/foglight holes...:(

[Lump]

i know nothing about the honda engine bay layout but what about getting air from the windscreen cowl area?

[Jiblet]

you could maybe do like the subaru's and have the cold air intake go into your guard...
