    Talking Got the CAI and Headers done!!!!!

    Yesterday, my SE-i spent the day at the muffler shop. I had my DC Sports headers installed, and had a custom CAI made. The owner of the shop was very interested in the possibility of a group buy on the CAI's if anyone on this board likes what they see under my hood. He said he would use mine as a template to make the others. Just so you all know mine being the prototype was more expensive about $150 not including the Bypass valve $44.95 and the K&N filter $35.00. I was thinking about something though, the Civic intake that guys have been buying and cutting to fit could be used and then only the piping to bumper well would have to be made possibly for only $60 to $75 bucks.

    Here are pics, I'll let you guys be the judges...

    Holy shit bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's tight! We already talked about it and I will defenitely go for it!

    you're engine bay is looking very very very nice! but I'm defenitely loving the CAI. Can I have one for this weekend???? Maybe we can meet somewhere since we don't live that far from eachother............ what do you say???

    So, how much is it for everything together and ready to install? I see that you guys cut a hole where the battery was........

    How do you like the difference with the DC headers on??? I still love mines

    Hey I really like you color tie in between the strut tower bar and the valve cover. And who ever did your CAI did a really nice job, it look's like a big company made it, not a shop.

    Unfortunately, CAI's are a part that I think members can't see paying extra for, even though their selling themselve's short with the short rams that will not offer as much power gains as a true CAI.

    Jim, your right!!!! Most members may not want to put out that kind of money for a true CAI but for the few that may be willing to do so the shop IM dealing with would be VERY happy to make them up for a group sale. Plus the possabilities of converting a Civic intake from Ebay $20 to a CAI for maybe $60 to 75 could be a cheaper option...

    Scott, No I didn't treat the inside of the intake piping with ceramic paint yet. I am going to monitor the air temp entering the TB with a indoor/outdoor thermometer sensor to see if it is needed. After this week i'll have a good idea wether or not i'll have to paint the inside...

    my question is can we get them, if so does that place have a webite address. I wouldnt mind getting that CAI, but is it any better than the OPM one? & can they make one that is silver coated? My question is, does anybody know of a place to get a new valve cover because my Accord is black & it gos with the theme of my car.
    Plans have changed....The car is gone & im on to a new project....Nissan Maxima & 240sx/S13 Silvia....But the modders of the 3rd Gens still have my props. Not to many other cars take tha drive to do like a 3rd Gen

    i like the idea of true cold air like that, but what i don't like is the idea of removing the fender lining or bumper or whatever to clean the filter. if it wasn't a daily driver i would be real willing to work on something like that.

    and where in New Jersey to do you live?

    Grant, Im in the Trenton area. Also to clean the filter only takes one bolt that i have to remove from the lower wheel well skirt and then the skirt folds back out of the way for me to take the filter off and clean it.. maybe 20 minute job at the most...

    JDM, i wouldn't say i have that much HP even at the flywheel, I know it sure feels a helluva lot stronger from 0 to 80!!!

    He has 100 stock hp at the wheels, so he's probably got about 105 or 107. Just helps through the entire powerband you see.

    but considering how many miles most 3geez have on them he's probably doing about 90 at the wheels. which isn't bad.

    Grant, I hope I have a little more than 90 to the wheels since I added the headers and CAI because of the following:

    2002 Mitsubishi mirage LS: 1.8L I4 111hp/5500rpm 116ft-lb/4500rpm 2300lbs and 13,000 miles
    Take 20% loss for automatic you get 89hp....

    1989 Accord SE-i coupe: 2.0L I4 122hp/5500rpm 118ft-lb/3600rpm 2750lbs and 120,000 miles
    Take 20% loss for automatic you get 98hp.... 450lbs heavier AND ad 14 yrs of wear and tear and 120,000 miles, and it's more like 90hp like You say...

    NOW for the fun part!!!! My best friend's wife owns the above Mirage and he and I decided to see how my car and the Mirage would fair in a race. The Mirage only had a short ram intake installed at the time and I only had my short ram intake and 2.25" exhaust and hi-flow cat done. The end result was that I stayed EVEN with him from 0 to 90 before we ran out of road wide enough for two cars.
    Bottom line: Our 3G's were built damn tough to take 14 yrs+ of beating and still hold their own on the road.. I would say that now he doesn't have a chance against me with my headers and True CAI installed!!!!!

    im very VERY interested in that CAI prospect specially the modding the civic one so ti would be cheaper...the less money the better...but it would soo be worth $75..i would def pay that...i didnt even think it was possible without all that hassle for the homemade one..i didnt even think of a muffler shop doing one

    90 was a bit underestimating, but here is the post that made me think that low. i know i would be happy if my car made 90, which i know it doesn't, but mines is carbed and has 190,000 miles.
