I am planning to get a cold air for my R,i'd juz like to hear all ITR owners' opinions and experiences to see which one i should get,thanks!!!

 

I prefer the Comptech Icebox. Works well, Makes good power on my car as well as GK's car.

Stock is pretty good. That said I woudl buy a header before I buy an Intake for a Type-R.

I just installed my AEM CAI.. needless to say I used a half a tank of gas last night and only clocked 40 miles...

 

That definitely isn't normal. CAI shoudl not use noticably more gas.

MUGEN
:twisted:

 

Mugen. It IS the best one out there. I've owned them all except the comptech. Find a used one, they are too expensive when new.

 

Chris I know it can be done but to what difficulty is it to get a Mugen to work with AC? That and cost are the 2 things stopping me.

 

Search on Honda-Tech! A lot of people with the Mugen intake still have they're A/C lines. They just bend them out of the way and it's not that hard to do as well.

I am familiar with the fact it is done as I mentioned. I knwo of about 3 people (not lots) on HT that have done it. Wes, Chris are the first 2 to come to mind. My understanding it that it is a little more than just bending them out of the way and fairly laborious.

 

Really, it isn't that bad Trey.

It involved removing all the wiring harness/clips in the area, the radiator overflow, moving the radiator fan over, then zip tie-ing the two main a/c lines: one towards the block, and one towards the ABS unit. We also had to take off two out of three tranny mount bolts. It was tough, it took about 1.5 hours. But it fits perfectly, and with some double sided tape or small piece of fabric at the two points where rubbing could occur, there is no chance of it getting damaged in any way =)

Also, Kelly Kim did the mugen intake. (kkim on h-t) One small ac line was bent, it is the line that goes directly next to the radiator overflow. The large a/c lines where ziptied in either direction.... once the intake was in place, the lines had nowhere to go. They don't rub on the intake either. Oh, and the a/c still works great, like new.
