i was helping my friend install his TRD intake today and i came up with an idea, but i wanna see what you guys think of this. some people pop out that lower grill section to allow better airflow, but you can bet it's letting dirt and rain and leaves etc in there too. what if i went up in there and potentially zip-tied a panel filter in place behind the open vent. that way, more and cooler airflow and better filtering of my intake air. call me crazy but i might just do this.

 

make sure its not raining.
i do that for better air flow on freeways.
but the filter will get dirtier faster.

 

not really a problem, its not hard to get in there and id be willing to change it often. im gonna give this a shot, not much to lose but potentially effective.

 

You're not really the first to come up with this actually.

Many people have just drilled holes in that little grille to allow some more airflow, while still keeping some sort of a barrier there.

 

just please dont do what the ricer kids here do with the for probes the get a cai and but an intercooler and then a filter on the hot side of the filter gotta love team red line haha

 

i drilled small holes. dont relly feel a difference. i mean how much of a difference is it really gana make? 1 or 2 hp?

 

There will be absolutely no difference in power.

 

hahahaha

 

Interfoolers FTMFW!

 

I think that would have the opposite of the desired effect.

Wouldn't it slow down air and restrict it more than just an open filter? That... and not really lower the air temperature?

 

Lmao @ interfooler pic

 

Fancy! I like the different colored connectors.

 

exactly! ur wasting ur time kid. buy H/I/E wit unichip. or go boost. or get NOS

 

I would love to test out the AIT theory with an interfooler because I forget what company used to make them for civics but every ricer in my hometown years ago had one... anyone non-turbo have an intercooler laying around and a Scangauge?

 

I remember on horsepower tv they did a budget honda civic build and they put one of those on, it made like 3 hp

 

I guess that mod is thrown out the window.

 

+1

 

thats only if the weather is dry cold.
if its hot and humid it wont help.

 

d00shebag. who are you to call anyone kid? you're only 21.

 

Dude it is not going to help that much. if you want to do it ____ing do it, and stop whining because people dont like your idea.
