Sweet.

[spoon3168]

someone get it and dyno it as fast asap when it comes out!!, i'm planning to get it thou no matter what,...:D
i hope the numbers are good..:confused:

[Makross]

aWw damn o well i just ordered my AEM CAI :o

[AkronSi]

It looks like it will be easy to install, just replaces the stock housing. Can't wait for a price!

[jaydub]

It still says "sneak peak" so it could be a long time until it's released. I don't see why they're waiting so long, it doesn't look like it's that involved to me.

[toe knee]

Finally!! I have been waiting so long and now i will be able to get it soon. Thanks siep.:)

[mikkellucci]

Damn it ! :'(

Doesn't look released to me... :confused:

[ApexinSi]

Holy crap this is cool....was at that comtech site, a 3d model of the icebox

[TezGari]

im selling my AEM CAI for iT!!

[BlairSpeed]

Im trying to understand what is so special about the icebox. Does it use actual ice to cool the air or what? Why is it so much better the a CAI? :o

[jaydub]

can I laugh when it yields 3HP instead of the 2.5HP you might get with a standard CAI? :o

[ssvr6]

I'm considering it just so I don't have to "cut" my car for the Injen CAI. I don't mind losing my a$$ on the Injen for this.


Steve

[IceD out N CALI]

sweet , it is about time

[Tenacious G]

ah, my prayers have been answered. now i can sleep tonight knowing that i have no money to purchase an icebox anytime soon. anyone know of any man-whoring opportunities so i can make some quick cash? (women preferred)

You dont need to cut for the AEM to fit either.

Can I laugh when other people's intakes cause hydrolocking?

[ApexinSi]

plastic = cooler

If you're concerned about that, you have no business owning a CAI. I know I'm not concerned.

Common sense > *

[sniperSI]

I never had to cut that hole by my engine, you can fit the cai down there with no problem, fit is a little tight, so what if you scratch the piecce going down into your wheel well.

If you are really stupid enough to drive thru a 3 foot deep puddle of what then you deserve hydro lock.

[jaydub]

Besides, if you drive through a puddle deep enough for you to hydrolock, you're probably gonna get water inside the cabin too.

[SHAKEnBAKE]

It's been asked before and I'll ask it again. Does anyone know if it does make much HP difference with other CAI? Doesn't necesarily have to be for our car, anyone ever actually used Icebox intakes? Cause I'm using AEM CAI right now and I don't know jackshit about the icebox. Please, someone?:(

[sniperSI]

Icebox has been around for a bit, they make nice OEM looking items, that are oem quailty. They are a great brand, however if you have an injen cai, like myself, i think the HP gains would be negligible, go drop the cash towards a hondata ecu upgrade or a cam, you have an intake that is great quality, and to date, the most HP gains of any intake for our cars.

[ADAMnQuickCIVIC]

"Coming soon, Comptech will release, the long awaited, Icebox cold air intake for the 2002-2003 Acura RSX and 2002-2003 Honda Civic Si."

Coming soon = not yet released.
will release = future tense.

Someone needs grammar lessons.

[ssvr6]

You don't "have" to cut the car for the Injen to fit, but you do have to cut it if you don't want to wear a hole away in your CAI. Check your intake if you don't believe me.

As for hydro lock, I'm not scared, I figure I'll just get something that avoids water as well as not forcing me to cut my car. (Hence me not wanting an AEM. That and it's a PITA to install.)


Steve

[jaydub]

Steve, the AEM isn't terrible to install the second time. :D Only the first one sucks. If you can watch/help on one, the second one takes about an hour.

That's the beauty of Neoprine

[JSIR]

I'm gonna do my best to get that intake as soon as it is released, looks like a nice setup, sucks cooler air yet the filter is keep cool and dry out of the way. Doesn't show a connection hose from the throttle body, wonder if it uses the stock hose ?. Hoping it gets released soon, I'm hoping within the next month.

Guys, don't expect this thing to make any more power than your standard CAI such as Injen, or DC. There is only so much air the engine needs and I am sure Injen, DC, and Comptech can supply that volume more than adequately. There may be some subtle differences in bottom end torque, but I expect top end power to be very similar between the three. The real benefit of the Comptech system is the ability to keep the air filter reasonably dry and clean, and easy to service. I think it's a nice design.

i was wondering, if you go to one of those "am-pm" car washes with the do-hicky that shoots watter at your car from all directions, can this cause hydrolocking if you have a CAI?

Absolutely not. The entire filter has to be submerged in water for any hydrolocking to occur.

Hey Joey thanks for this tid bit of helpful info. I'll stick with my AEM I think.

;)

[silver ep]

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! :eek:

[Surprise]

It looks like an ordinary stock air box but with a longer intake tube. It also looks like there is no baffling boxes like the stock one either. So why can't we just cut out the baffles and add a tube?

It wouldn't say "Comptech" on it.

GJ Genius.

What are you going to post next? CTR RELEASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hamproof]

Comptech people posted an announcement on honda-tech.com but not on ephatch.com. Someone needs to be more promotion of this site. Personally, I like this site more coz' there's more *traffic* whether Honda or not related and it's good reason to goof off at work. Maybe that's why we're not taken seriously :D

http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=468775

[02SilverSiHB]

Well, I'll definitely be buying it once it comes out. When ever the hell that is!

And someone even posted in the forum over at comptech asking them to make a post over here when it was released. Bastards!












I still want it though! :D

[chakra71]

I'm in the market for a used CAI.... pm me if you guys want to put something down on your icebox. :)

AEM preferred, will take best price tho... just want some growling under the hood.
