i just got rid of my 05 focus zx3, for a 05 civic lx 3 door. i am trying to find out the general engine specs, size, and best mods to do. what is the best cold air kit for this car? i do not want one right off the ground, way to much rain in ohio. i ran into issues with my focus because of that. what are some good sites to look at for cold air's ?? any help is appreciated.

 

first of all, welcome to HCF.

...instead of the lx, u should have got the si. u could have gained wayy more horsepower from uprgading cars then u can with upgrading the engine u have in your car. the D17 (1.7L) engine doesn't respond well to bolt ons (i/h/e)

 

well, really, my wife and i got rid of my focus, i bought her a new car, just had our first kid, and i am now driving the civic.

 

from my understanding, just about all cold air intakes are about the same in how much they improve your cars performance... If we want to get really technical then yes, there is a difference among them, but for the most part, they just increase air flow...

 

depends on how much hp your trying to gain

 

just a little on the top end. nothing big.

 

cold air intake adds a little more power in the top end.

 

these guys are being to picky..i understand what your trying to do. but yea look into some aem intakes or any good brand you like and then you can choose whether you want a short or long arm intake. you can research which is best for you and your car too.
