Cold Air intake setup with k24a2 swap. Looking for ideas

[imthebro]

fellow hatchers !

I'm looking for into, pictures, setup details etc... of those of you who are running a k24 swap in their Ep3's with a cold air intake.

I have an Injen short ram from an RSX type-s which is probably robbing me of power on hot track days. I'd like to upgrade to a cold air intake (will consider home made...).

Please post pictures & details of your setups... I need inspiration ! :-)

Thanks !:mbiggrin:

I have a k24a1 with the RBB intake manifold and a short ram intake as well. Ive seen a 90 degree coupler ( Injen?) with a ebay cold air intake work before, i also think they ran a different top rad hose due to being too close and heating the intake.

I've been thinking of using the gutted stock air box ,re-ducted and wrapped in reflective heat tape.

I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow.

what intake manifold are you using? the RBB and RBC dont seem to be very CAI friendly. i use the AEM CAI for the RSX type S since its 3in piping. i put a injen hydroshield on the filter and sculpted a blox velocity stack into my front bumper... direct cold air intake. worked nicely on both my stock PRB intake manifold and now the charger.

I have the RBB on my K24A2. I hear ya when you say not very friendly towards CAI given the TB angle...

DifferentK, can you post a picture of your setup, I'm curious to see your velocity stack & setup

thanks

[differentK]

sorry no- i actually dont have any pics of my car... just not my thing. have you had yours tuned? results? ever consider the RBC to help out your top end?

you can run the prb mani and get a ep3/dc5 cai, it will fit with very little modification if any is needed.

Others have done it a 3" DC5-S spec Injen CAI on a k24a2/RBC setup

[differentK]

^ true- the RBC is a bit easier than the RBB due to the TB angle. you need that flexible coupling for the TB like what injen provides- makes install easier. I ran the PRB back when i was NA- it made CAI choices a breeze for obvious reasons. it made good power too- i didnt feel like it was really holding me back.

[usedep3]

I can't remember exactly who, but someone had a ~45 degree TB coupler w/ RBB, CAI & k24

Please ignore giddy schoolboy commentary

I'm using an RBB intake with an injen CAI.
I had to flip the rubber elbow that attached the intake pipe to the TB, but once i did, everything mates up cleanly.

Thanks. I like what I'm seeing!

The intake is for which model? Ep3, type-s?

[cyllarus]

Was actually ON the car when i bought it, so I'm not sure, but i think its the EP3 one. Can get a model number off it when i get home..

Im k20a3 still but i have the stock box almost completely gutted.bottom and tophalf took as much out as i could. With a spoon filter and cold air ducting and i love it. I also blocked off the holes to the 2nd chamber on the top half as well.hope that helps some.

all in fabrication makes some good intakes!!! check with them!

big fan of your car!
i saw a couple of these set ups on type r sites...

K24A2 + RBC + Comptech Icebox (EP specific) - will it work? I am worried the piping from the box to the bottom of the bumper might not fit well with the increased deck height of the K24A2 (future swap)

[newep]

I recently just changed from a 2.75' SRI to a 3' CAI made for a TSX, I had to cut it and do a few minor adjustments, but it fits pretty well. Not only does the intake stay cooler, but it feels like it makes a bit more power.

sorry to bring this back from the dead but does the type s injen CAI work for us swapped or would the tsx spec do the job?

I ended up going this route. I have the dc5s 3" injen cai mated up to a k24a2/rbc and fitment wasnt an issue. You have to cut a little bit of the fender liner just like normal installation onto an ep3.

[gtecd20]

Humm only bad thing is I'm running the rbb just hear it was better for bolt ons has anyone ran the tsx spec cai?
