since we on the subject....well sort of....
anyone used this type of air ram before?? dont care about the filter itself...just the air ram  is it any good? any feedbacks? thinking of getting the simota ones to replace my current HKS SPF Mushroom with 3" chrome steel air ram planning on pairing it with either the blitz sus stainless steel mesh or apexi dual funner power intake. to be fitted on a b-series vtec |

QUOTE(angel-ice @ Feb 16 2011, 04:08 PM) easiest for b is to get a simple pipe, put mushroom, ok d i already have that mushroom setup... ive never been a fan of HKS SPF filters...came with the car when i bought it though... hence the thought of changing. thought of putting in the apexi dual funnel power intake or blitz sus... so thought about changing air ram one shot.ada pooowwah ! usually these type of a/f is for low range/mid range response same as arc oso  believe it or not...in my old B16A had some RM50 chapalang open pod.... tried the ori HKS SPF... few days.. changed back to the chapalang with a big smile on my face. if that setup gives better low-mid range response then thats good..... coz vtecs has pretty much sucky torque in that range...i myself have a torque dip between 3.5-5.5 according to my dyno chart. so i guess ANY form of improvement in that range should be a good one  QUOTE(angel-ice @ Feb 16 2011, 04:08 PM) your ty looks nice lor then buy my TYC laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahhahahaha i'm oso using tyc but not the projector type, normal wan QUOTE(the_catacombs @ Feb 16 2011, 04:14 PM) more reserve air... good for throttle response... especially variable valve lift engines such as mivec and vtec... switchover point requires sudden surge of air intake... if there isnt much reserve air, u wont feel the "kick"... thanks...are there any disadvantages for vtec engines? well, it has benefits does not mean it doesnt have disadvantages... non-variable valve lift engines might loose some low end torque from using this setup... layman term, air rushing in too fast, u feel a tad bit of emptiness in initial revs... |
