cooled air intake on integra type r?

[dale]

yo i was wondering what this guy meant wen i asked him about his mods on his new integra 2003 model

he said after lowering it he had a "forced induction cold air intake" or something like that put on. it looked like a damn intercooler nearly! but it aint turbo so im wonderin wat he actually did and how it helps

Thanks

An intercooler would acctually be a restriction on a NA car.

Where was this intercooler looking thing??

haha.

those things are sold at autobarn.

it's an air filter in the shape of an intercooler.

The thing is mounted in the FMIC position and feeds air to the engines inlet pipe etc..

it's more of a ricer boy thing than a performance part.

They are trying to achieve more air intake into the engine... blah... blah...

What would happen when its raining? water going through ur fake intercooler -air filter = hydraulic lock, that's not a good thing. :slap:

ahh thanks jaws

Croatian R33: its like Jaws said "mounted in the FMIC position"

id rather a apexi pod in a carbon fibre box with phat cold air feed, saves the engine and gives cold fresh air to it
