CAI question

[RedruM]

okay me put on me CAI and me notice that when me drivin it seems a bit slow at respondin when me press the gas after switchin gears..

is was normal b4 me CAI...

could it be not enough air flow to me CAI or is it jus something else??

[RedruM]

next Q...

lets say its raining and water gets to my CAI... does the filter block out any of the water or is it all sucked in??? and how much water would it take to fuck up me car??

[boroEF]

dont worry about water..it's highly unlikely that u will suck up water!!!

cai reduced my throttle response on my ef i noticed as well....cai sucks

it only makes a diff on hot summer days or like at a track day where it actually matters...for simple street use i firmly believe in the sri

Short Ram Intake

[RedruM]

excellent..

but i think i should have notified you of my filters location..

behind our bumper on the driver side there is a metal plate that comes down from the inner fender and the splash guard bolts on to that metal plate from the bottom

well my filter is jambed up in there behind the plate, inner fender and covered by the spash guard.... if you know what i mean


so i'm jus worried cause it's pritty close to the road and water splashes up in the filter area.

[boroEF]

not to worry, it's a splash guard and it isnt sucking hard enough to actually take up any water it contacts....unless u drive through 1 foot deep puddles...then i've got nothing to say

thanks
Ram intakes only work at high speeds and you have to route the flow properly first too. AND they're even more suspectable to sucking in water since you can't put a filter on without negating the ram effect.
that's not that great......?

^ short ram intake, not ram air
short ram is simply a shit on a stick

[Naito]

wha?


'scuse my ignorance :p

[Chris Corolla S]

A short ram intake is no different than a CAI except that it is real short. Like one foot. So the filter is next to the engine instead of in your bumper. It is just an alluminum or steel tube with a cone filter on the end and the other end attaches to your throttle body... Just like your generic AEM intake or whatever but a short one.

ah.....
thank you
