Password JDM PowerChamber
Someone please assist me.
Regular cold air intakes are about 3 inches in diameter.
The Password JDM PowerChamber is how big? From the pictures it looks huge, bigger than regular 3 inches...Something like a filter size for the Fords.
Anyway is it how big? 4inches diameter?

Im not going to get that rice, jjust thought Id share.
Right now I have an AEM knockoff. Had it for couple of years already. Just been amazed by the Password JDM CF Air Intake, J's Racing Intake and whatever looks similar to those.

that's one retarded intake. i think that's a bad intake anyways. the air has to hit the filter and take a sharp turn to go up into the IM. i can see the gains of getting fresh air into the engine bay with turbos since it gets so incredibly hot under the hood but i don't see any gains NA wise. i think the whale ***** looking intake is the best intake out there but i don't want to get into any cai vs. sri debate. if you're car is a stock motor, there's no point spending so much $$ on an intake. just buy a cheap ractive intake or something. when you start to get serious and build a crazy NA motor that's when you have to start looking for a intake that will get you the most gains. i don't think you'll get the gains as advertised on passwordjdm on a single cam engine. there's no point getting an intake that's worth more than your engine.

i'm not going to argue with you. AEM V1 is an outdated design which is replaced by the V2 to keep up with it's competitors so NO it's not the best intake out there.
here's a dyno of a j's racing intake which is pretty much the exact same thing as the password jdm intake on an itr. this was taken off the performance faq in clubsi. i don't know how accurate it is though because 17whp and 14ft/lbs gains are a lot for an intake. it's the only dyno i was able to find that talks about the gains of the whale ***** intake.
read this thread, it's a very good read.

sri does see ambient temperatures like the cai does when the car is moving because air is constantly moving under the engine bay. both intakes will attract heat. so cai does not mean you are getting ice cold air that's coming straight from the ground. more tubing = more heat transfer. i will not get into too much detail about this debate, it's been argued a million times. the aem cai v2 is quite a costly intake. i recommend you to just mod your stock intake box because you won't see more than 1-2whp gains at most on a stock d series engine.

Someone posted this link a month or two ago. Its pretty good, if you click on the intakes on the side, you can then click on dyno sheet and see the gains.

I'm not replacing my intake yet. I just got it for free and replaced the filter like a couple of months back so Im set for another couple of years.
Once the filter runs out and the intake starts to get rusty (its a lil scratched up now since its used) then I will probably get the whale intake.
I have I/H/E and ECU for my setup. But then again its an automatic so it shouldn't be making much of a difference, but its my car so I can get it if I like :=D
Plus a couple of years on the road I will probably port and polish for the headers and get a B TB and port and polish the IM, just to learn, have some fun.
But this is a long time from now.
Thanks for all your guys help. Im gonna read those posts.

pnp your headers? pnp your im on your automatic d series? sorry i know you want to learn and stuff but then you're blowing money on useless mods if you stay with the automatic tranny. you're first priority should be to convert to a manual transmission.
