Firstly, I'm not defending CAI. I'm all about high rpm power. I prefer the short ram. Unfortunately, my car has an AFM, so there aren't even any intakes made for my car, so I'm going to have to get a stand alone ECU and a MAP sensor. Just because my car only runs 16 now, has nothing to do with how much information or knowledge I have. What do stock Type SHs run? mid 15s? My car is going to be doing 14s in the spring..all motor. And for your information, my car also has variable length intake runners(plenums), as well as an intake resonator. Seems Mazda knows how to build engines too.
And oh...since you know so much about cars and Hondas, you would know that the 2.4 CR-V engine has exactly 1 lb/ft more torque than your H22A
Monkey..they didn't turbo the Renesis because they changed the location of the exhaust ports to the side housing, which turns out to make for extremely cool exhaust temperatures....not good for turbo, but since they brought it back...anything is possible.
ludeboom, I'm not trying to start some war here. What I'm saying about intakes is a fact. You can experiment if you'd like. Try a CAI vs SR if you'd like. Dyno and track test both. I'll bet the short ram wins..........
having never dynoed the two on my car, i cant swear to which one makes more TQ, BUT IF YOU READ THE THREAD, than you will see that i have tested both.
ill be genuinely impressed if your protege is in the 14's come spring, honestly i dont think its gonna happen NA.
and
as far as the you trying to prove me wrong on the CRV thing:
yes i do know alot more than you about building motors, did you build your protege motor?
im glad that you can go to carpoint or some other internet site and post some specs that you looked up.
unlike you i speak from experience
btw this is nowhere near a war
