I didn't think it wise to spend a chunk of money on a AEM cold air intake or anything like that, but I thought i might try my hand at making a little ram air setup on my crx.
I am planning on replacing my 89 bumper with a 90 Si with air dam, so i didn't mind cutting a 3.5"x7" hole in the passenger side where a bumper intake duct from ebay was mounted. I removed the resonator bow and connected a piece of 3" flexible aluminum duct from home depot from the bumper intake to the stock airbox inlet that connected to the radiator. i didn't plug the port that goes to the front of the engine bay yet, but boy does it have a mean throaty growl to it! Yikes! Good for a 1hp increase? Sure why not!
Haha. I'll see if I can't get some pictures tomorrow. What do ya think?
As a note, i drove the car set up like this through some hard pouring rain on I-90 going across NY this weekend and had no problems with hydrolocking the engine or any such shenanigans.
