only thing i can think of is that the car in the background is an r/c car (maybe)

[1siksivik]

guess again lol

[Boostjunkie]

The intake is designed for your car but they show a 350z?

[1siksivik]

wrong guess again lol. man u guys are ricers lol its soooo obvious.

[+Rav3n+]

i see handcuffs...

wtf?

lol

[1siksivik]

errr wrong lol oh cmon u guys are killin me lol

[BONH]

i dont know why the little tube/vacuum/oil return thing would be so far down there on a CAI, it should be closer to the TB.

outside of that.. its got a blue hose for a red pipe, its tacky?

[1siksivik]

errr wrong dammm omg. lol u guys are makin me cry lol. go outside to ur car and look at ur intake if u got one.

[Bone]

I don't get it weither

[BONH]

my cai doesn't curve like that at the end.. ?

[1siksivik]

omg ok ill tell u guys. the filter is on the wrong end of the intake. omg i dotn believe u guys dont see it lol.

[Bone]

i guess taht makes sense

[1siksivik]

yes that part goes into the TB. lol

[BONH]

they mispelled aluminum?

[1siksivik]

look at post 12 for answer

[BONH]

they still mispelled aluminum damnit!

[1siksivik]

aluminum is spelled right. the filter is on the wrong end of the intake. thats whats wrong with the pic.

[Bone]

aluminum is spelled right. the filter is on the wrong end of the intake. thats whats wrong with the pic.re read the picture, they have an extra "I" in the word.

[Mikey]

that looks like a shitty intake anyways....

[verdugo09]

1siksivik

wtf man, that´s the kind of shit that you are wasting your money on. I should e-slap you for that.

ricer.

LOL

[1siksivik]

im not buyin it u idiot lol. i already got an aem short ram.

[1siksivik]

re read the picture, they have an extra "I" in the word.

i knew that lol.:wiggle:

CAI > Ram

[Robi]

the candy apple color is not the right shade?

[Bone]

CAI > Ramok there is a huge problem with this statement! Ram air is a suped up version of Cold Air Intake sytems.

Lets clearify this a little more. Cold air systems are designed to bring in cold air to the engine bay so that the motor can breath cooler air then what is in the engine bay, ram air is just a way to do exactly that and add presure to it on higher speeds.

therefore in conclusion Ram Air > Cold Air Intakes

[Mikey]

in my opinion, both are snake oil.

stop right there

yeah, ram air have the advantage of better throttle response than a CAI system, but when the engine bay heats up, the benefits of it will be lost. I know that a heat shield can be installed to reduce this symptom, but your engine would still be sucking less than ´´cold´´ air once the car is running for a while. On the performance side of it, air temperature have a greater impact on performance than pressure.

On the performance side of it, air temperature have a greater impact on performance than pressure.If you design it right the heating issue you talk of wont be a problem. for trucks like my 03 chevy s-10 many have made a ram air system that comes in from the fender. and for the MR2 one that grabs air from above the car.

it boils down to making it right tobegin with. and most "cold air intakes" aren't really that. all they are is larger piping that reduces the restrictions of the stock systems with a higher flow filter. normally they have no housing to make them a true CAI, therefore are pointless, all they do is suck in the heat from the engine bay in a less restrictive manner.

I still say Ram Air > CAI

[verdugo09]

well, if they come from the fenders, combining them with their short piping, I guess you are right.

you win.......................this time.




I hate you man. lol

I hate you man. lolI know somethings here and there. i'm not entirely dumb, just partially.

[verdugo09]

Well, I guess you learn something new everyday


damn, I was almost sure I was right

[1siksivik]

CAI > Ram

short ram > florida rain. ;)

[Phil]

Must have been trial and error on the thread starters parts. He bought the intake from Ebay and it didnt go on like the picture so he figured he would make a joke about him being so riced out... How else wuold he have found that pic

www.ebay.com


Civic intake search

[Bone]

short ram > florida rain. ;)that's why you build a dump with a ruber door. water falls out the bottom without a problem. just can't make it big otherwise you end up loosing the benifit of having the ramsetup.

[Yani]

verdugo and rambone seem to have short ram and ram air confused...

[GDM Z28]

verdugo and rambone seem to have short ram and ram air confused...

i noticed that too.....

[NiZMo1o1]

ok

[verdugo09]

verdugo and rambone seem to have short ram and ram air confused...

enlight us, oh mighty one. :bowdown:

speak negro, what it is.

[rick the ripper]

funny i guess

[Yani]

enlight us, oh mighty one. :bowdown:

speak negro, what it is.


a short ram is just a pipe with a filter on it that sits in the engine bay sucking in the hot air, ram air is a system thatw ould go mounted onto a hood scoop, opening in a head light, behind a grill or somewhere that would force air into the intake at speed.

[verdugo09]

So rambone was talking about ram air

and I was talking about short ram


ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[JDMLude]

omg ok ill tell u guys. the filter is on the wrong end of the intake. omg i dotn believe u guys dont see it lol.

that's ebay for ya:lawl:
