What kind of intake are you using

[ronjdm36]

like the title says, what kind of intake are you using? i have a Top Fuel power chamber replica. it's identical in every way to a real one. a friend of mine has one and its exactly the same. its super loud, it resonates the whole interior with great sound. it looks pretty mean as well. it's sometimes referred to as the "whale p***s".

[red4]

stock box with K&N filter. would love to pick up the Spoon intake arm. :cool:

[ronjdm36]

hey ron looks like you need to clean your headlights... post a HOW-TO... u do know how to right?

[ronjdm36]

yeah, that one is oxidized badly. the other one is perfect, but that one is just wasted. i'm hoping to get some SiR ones shortly.

[redalert]

Does anyone like injen rd intakes? Any experiences with these?

[elite ninja]

ive got a j's

[mr_nemesis2003]

I have a modified stock intake. Pretty much like the spoon insert, but 100 times cheaper.

you've gotta post up pics man. :TU: i'd like to see what you did, especially with it being custom.

[mr_nemesis2003]

Here it is how it looks like(its dirty, i know, need to give it a lil cleaning ):



Here's another:


I'm planning on painting that pipe black as soon as i get some time to take it off, and put on the stock stuff so i can paint it.

BTW, this is how my baby looks like:

[red4]

your intake looks good man. i like it. i'm pretty much decided on keeping the stock air box, so something like that pipe would be a good upgrade for me to utilize the factory setup.

as far as other pics of your car though, you should start a build-up thread in Members' Rides to show your progress. :TU:

[JdmRevelations]

showing sum fab creativity. there NEM. and yes do make your own thread in members rides..

[Dina]

So I need to ask what is the benifit of that pipe as opposed to a regular intake system?

[red4]

So I need to ask what is the benifit of that pipe as opposed to a regular intake system?

it elminates the restrictions of the stock air tubes and allows you to retain the stock filter and air box. spoon runs a similar type of intake on all of their cars.

i like it because it keeps your filter enclosed and keeps it away from the normal dirt and grime that can get inside your engine bay. plus stock filters are cheaper, easier to locate, and easier to replace than the cone type filters.

[Dina]

Oh I understand now, kind of, but my cone filter can be cleaned with the K&N cleaner kit. From workin at Honda, all air filters are supposed to be replaced at every 15K miles. With the K&N's, you can clean them at those intervals for far less than replacing it. I understand the keeping it away from the road grime and such but, I don't think that kind of tube will give you the power gains a CAI will give ya. I know from experience that with a CAI and all the oem splash shields in place, the filter will not get that much dirtier than the stock filter will.

[LongGrain]

AEM CAI with dryflow filter, guess i cant compare the sound to anything cuz thats the only intake i ever had, never even had a stock one. but i guess i like it, nothin special. i plan to run a PW:JDM power chamber carbon fiber intake when i swap.

[mr_nemesis2003]

Oh guys, i did this because i want to keep it a sleeper, i am planning to paint it black, so now if cops pull me over, it looks like if it came like that from the factory. Also, i have a lil arm that goes down like a cai whenever it is not raining. I also noticed that the darn thing gets more silent with the piece. I don't knoe if you guys noticed it, but the piping is not from a d16y8, mwahahaha:D .

the intake piping isn't from a Y8? i guess i don't understand, lol.

[mr_nemesis2003]

If you see it closely, the piping is from a si, i had a hold of one, so i said why not. The difference between the two is that the si one is a bit bigger, other than that, everthing is basically the same. Had you there for a minute huh red4.

yeah, i guess i knew the Si intake piping was a little bit bigger, but i couldn't tell from the picture. i used to have a picture comparing an EX to Si stock intake arm but it appears to have floated off of my hard drive, lol.

you ought to make more of those intake elbows and sell em, lol. where did you get the materials to make it? what size pipe? etc. i might attempt this myself. :TU:

[mr_nemesis2003]

I got that piece from an intake i had laying around, i've been trying several intakes, and decided to make my own thing. The funny thing was that when i got on this site, i was like wtf, there is something already like the thing i made. I am talking about the spoon elbow. It was weird. But yeah, i got it from an intake, i had to take off the paint first though, cause that damn intake was turning purple lol.

[carclubgfx]

im using a top fuel power chamber, looks really good.

[mr_nemesis2003]

Hey 94jdmej1, with what did you paint your manifold with, or did it come like that. I tried painting mine so people won't be able to notice it through the grill or bumper, but i ended up smelling burned paint for 2 weeks.

get some engine enamel/header paint from your local auto parts store. :TU:

[G-rat]

or u could heat rape it...smells bad for about a week...but looks cool;)

[mr_nemesis2003]

Heat rape it, lol. Are there benefits to heat rapping it? I wanted to paint it black because i took out the ac equipment and you could see my header through the bumper, and the bottom part of the manifold looks like it is an aftermarket. So i tried spraying that shit with that 500 degrees black paint, but all it did was burn off, create smoke, and look flat black afterwards. Red4,you think that maybe the 1000 degrees paint would have been a better bet?

I used VHT 1500+ falt black. I sanded the hell out of the finish before I sprayed it. I just misted it for the first 3 coats, let it bite in good. then after just got it all covered and even. I love the way it looks.



Thanks

Josh

[G-rat]

well u would be able to see the heat wrap.....but it is benificial....less heat in the engin bay...keeps the heat going threw the exaust more instead of out in the engine bay.....and of course the smeel for the week....smells like burnt french toast:sick:

Red4,you think that maybe the 1000 degrees paint would have been a better bet?

like 94jdmej1 said, you probably need to use some paint rated for a hotter temperature. i'd say the 1000 degree paint would probably be fine. just look around for something specifically made for engines/brakes/headers, etc. and you should be good. i might end up painting mine too, but i need to fix the crack or replace it first, lol.

[sohcvtec]

has anyone here use the apexi intake? i heard that gave out good power and sounded stock... just uses the pipe from the stock one? anyone have pics of it???

[NtAcivG94]

isnt the apexi just a filter? I heard it gives good gains and also filters very very well.

[red4]

isnt the apexi just a filter? I heard it gives good gains and also filters very very well.

its a filter with a short pipe that attaches to your stock piping. i've heard nothing but good reviews about it. supposed to be one of the best filters on the market. :TU:

[mindgam35_civic]

its different i know... and i got rid of the red loom (TRUST ME)

-its a mishimoto pipe
-stock intake box that i modified to put a plexi glass housing on...
-k&n drop in filter

[jdmcasanova]

im running harley davidson velocity stacks......yay!!!!!

[STN_DX]

Ebay special atm once I get a swap I'm going with the whale winky one.

[Mr.EM1]

I am using the Top Fuel Power Chamber Kit:japanflag:

[mr_nemesis2003]

Hey Mr.EM1, how does the power chamber perform in comparison to other intakes, if you don't mind me asking.

[Mr.EM1]

Well I went from a AEM V2 CAI to this because of all of the rain in Texas. Had too many close calls with hydrolocking. But to my butt dyno I feel like I lost a little power. But you will always get more power out of a CAI than a short ram. http://www.takakaira.com is where I purchased mine from. Also has some info on it aswell.

[Volume 8]

nice intake, i've been thinking about picking up one of those.

Top Fuel intake....drool... :knockout: :eek: :rockon:

[Mr.MAN]

so did the old top fuel power chamber look like the j's racing whale dingy one?

Can u still get a hold of them?

[NtAcivG94]

Top Fuel intake....drool... :knockout: :eek: :rockon:




dont tell luis!;)

[JdmRevelations]

blah i did have my eye on it but not now....

[Volume 8]

haha, seriously, now that i know people have it i don't want it that much anymore.

[ronjdm36]

so did the old top fuel power chamber look like the j's racing whale dingy one?

Can u still get a hold of them?

yes, j's racing copied their design from top fuel. and yes, you can find them. they are rare though.i have an exact copy of one(pictured on first page.)

[Mr.MAN]

If you or anyone spot one please let me no i want one

[SittinTooLow]

OMG that Whale Pecker intake would have to sound kick ass. My '92 Hatch That i bought for parts, for 500 bucks had one on the D15, i didnt know what the hell it was!! I was gunna put it on my coupe but i thought the dam thing would bite me if i put a flathead to it.. But ya, Im gunna make a quick swap tomorrow!!

[Mr.MAN]

i ordred my j's intake from canada today, it should be here in 5-6 days!:honda:

[E-TECH]

Gotta a no name short ram. 3" piping, painted flat black with a black filter that I don't have to replace. Was polished AL but I don't care for the shine or bling. So I sanded it all donw and painted it. My friend had 2.5" piping and it made his intake sound less deep or resonant. 3" sounds deeper and more aggressive.

[Partizan]

i got an aem sri

[donut.]

ARC. its for sale too. brand new in the box. please inquire within

[OniFactor]

i've been thinking of fabbing up an ABS pipe to replace the upper piece, and modding the intake box to be more open, if possible.. if i do it, i'll take lots of pictures for you guys

[Test dummy]

I got one of them there home depot special intakes

[Dina]

Oh yeah T.D. Post up those pics then I want to see this Home depot special intake

[Mr.MAN]

i was goin to custom make a more open airbox but i didnt want to take time to do it so i just ordered a j's intake.:honda:

[donut.]

why not buy a intake like aem. they have put tons of r&d into it, why settle for less. its retarded to make your own intake and not have a dyno handy to see improvements

[OniFactor]

i'm guessing you're referring to people who are making their own intakes?

i'm making my own that'll be similar to stock, but have a smoother intake arm, and a more open intake box. OE filter

[Mr.MAN]

you al;ready said that lol
heres minez

[OniFactor]

change in plans! my car will now be fed by these,

[JdmRevelations]

umm damn..

[Mr.MAN]
