Aem Cold Air Intake ( Help Please)
 

Hi Guy,

I need some input.

I recently replaced my stock intake with an AEM cold air intake system. I just hooked it up myself . However I do not feel a big differance in the performance.

Do I leave the mud cover out ? When I finished hooking it up I fixed the mug cover which come around the wheel wells back again ? Could this be the reason as I do not see any opennings for the filter to bread .

Please do advise me and excuse if my notes above are silly.

Thank you guys.

i'd recommend you leave the fender liner on as you don't want to suck up water or crap into your engine.

as for feeling a bit difference, you won't unfortunately. it's just a bolt-on that might be good for 2whp if you're lucky.

Hi ,

Thank's for the update but I thought it would give me more power than what I had on .

Atleast this is what it says.

Thank you though for your advise.

none of those intakes give much increase very little i think only if u have done alot of thigns and like have a turbo otherwise it sounds kewl and costs alot

give it a week or two to work in. once the car settles into balance you might notice more even power distribution. like when i put on my header it felt crappy at first, but then i noticed acceleration was a lot more 'even'. i used to have a rut between 3-4k, but the header smoothed it out.

good luck

you won't notice any increase in performance with just that... it just sounds a lot better.

i have a header (cracked manifold before) and an air intake (driving a civic depressed me, made it sound like something more than a lawn mower)

Hey,

Thank you guys for all the information that you have given me.

What I drive is a 92 civic and have already hooked up a reactive muffler & the cold air intake next on line is the header maybe once this is hooked up I might feel the boost .

I simply want it to pickup fast instead of you know making a big sound and staying in the same spot which is kind of not cool LOL:D

better acceleration, switch in an si tranny, it will have a shorter gear ratio. if u have an si then ur out of luck for acceleration.

i say build up the suspension and you can fly by anyone on off ramps and highway interchanges. thats the only fun i have

Hey Guys,

Thanks again.

I really appreciate your support on his.

Bro can you please advise and guide me on the suspension issue. I would really like to know about this subject .

Serioustly I would like to make my car the best ever. I know it's a 92 my family and my friends say I am just wasting money I guess they do not know the feeling of doing something unique like this.

Anyways guys help me out .

Thanks .

disconnect your battery and drive aggressively so it will learn to a better fuel map

or

u can just chip ur ECU to run a higher fuel/air ratio, that would make a difference with ur intake

otherwise it will just give u a little bit of low end torque

U have an lx civic? So is that the orig. engine? Non-vtec?
Well right there is your problem if that is the case. Slap in a JDM D15B aem cai, headers, 2.25"-2.5" exhaust, suspension,clutch, (si tranny ofcourse) Bore/port match intakemanifold and tb. Then get yourself an adjustable cam gear. & Tune it. Should make 130 whp. +/- If your looking to get 140ish whp slap a cam in.

Let me know if you need anything else im the Single Cam Guru :)

hey with all this heavy rain, how bad is it to drive around with my CAI, i always had a bypass valve on it so i never gave a ****, but it recently broke so now all i have is the fender liner......... i was thinking of just removing the piping that goes down into the fender and just hook my filter onto the shorter upper pipe (so it's pretty much a Short ram).......?? soo the question is....is the fender liner suffecient enough?

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright...

Sadly intakes don't do much on our cars.. neither will a full exhaust, etc.. if anything it would make it accelerate slower in the low-end. Research before you play around with the engine.

Hi Guys ,

A big thank you to all for the info.

about research. Even in our website ( TORONTOCIVCIS) these a basic mods that come in to play .. Muffler / CAI ..really really basic to get you started right and than of course you moove on to the big stuff .

So are you guys trying to tell me this is not correct .

Even when I googled around I saw many stating once you hook up a CAI it would improve perfomance of your car and when I visited the locat auto store and spoke with the clark he told be it would eigther improve performance or it would be fuel efficient one of the 2 .

I am sorry guys to trouble with this but it would be great if we can quote the correct information with regards to CAI in a stock engine .

Thank you guys.
