What do you get more with???
I was wondering about the intakes the other day. I have a Short Ram and the Other piece to make it cold Air. I was told by i guy localy that short ram makes more power but cold air is better?? Is this true? Which is more effective??

search the forum for this topic, there has got to be a thousand threads with this information

cold air is actually more powerful but dangerous if you live where it rains a lot... thats why i stick with the short ram. i'm in washington.

RE: What do you get more with???
honestly i didn't feel that much of a difference, w/ either, and yea hydro-locking your motor would suck, i would say go w/ whats cheaper
|
RE: What do you get more with???
Yea..actually Its raining now...and i just put the cold air piece on yesterday. It doesnt rain here a whole lot but im afraid of hydro-locking anyway. Wat do I do in the winter? Go with short ram?

Cold air long intake pipe to keep it away from the engines' heat short ram just a short intake how do you have both?! And intakes wouldn't had a whole lot of HP it's a good start get air flowing get your engine breathing. If your planning to turbo up your car short ram's better especially if you've got an intercooler what's the point of getting colder air if it's just gonna heat up in the compressor then get cooled down again?

a couple degrees is a couple degrees.. if u can get it cold before the turbo, it should be that much colder after...

RE: What do you get more with???
Yea.. mine is the two piece like the injen! you can have it short ram or cold air all a matter of cilicone instert thing that you screw on! The only difference ive noticed is the sound when vtec kicks in. with the cold air is deeper and not as loud as to the short ram being louder and more of a raspy sound.

So would cai and sri dont really matter w/ a turbo i always see them on cars though esp cai and honestly how much power would you actually gain from 1-2 degrees if your going to compress it anyways could that extra 1-2 degree difference really let you cram more in the compressor?

RE: What do you get more with???
ask carlover about this...he should know. thenagain, he got the SRI so....
|
RE: What do you get more with???
colder air is more dense. Therefore u can get more into each cylender. CAI will outperform. Period.
|
RE: What do you get more with???
true colder air is a lot denser but if your' running a turbo which was my question would it make that much of a difference and plus i live in Vancouver rain like a mother...
|
RE: What do you get more with???
i dont know if water would hurt the turbine...but the cold air definately couldnt hurt it
|
RE: What do you get more with???
Just so you guys know, if you have a turbo'd car, a CAI designed for your car isn't going to fit anymore. You'll have to fab one up yourself because the intake tubes have to go to the compressor now, not to the TB.
|
RE: What do you get more with???
yeah i was asking if they made a CAI for turbod civics but everyone thot all theyve seen was custom fabbed.
