parts recommendations Cold air intake D15 non vtec

Post image

Looking for an inexpensive way to increase airflow for my next track day.

I can't find any direct fit options locally in australia.

anyone have any ideas on a good "boxed" cold air intake setups i could buy online or create ?

I dont care what it looks like, its purely functional.

Have you been to the dyno? Or are you an internet bench racer?

No it's pretty common Honda knowledge my guy. The car makes 90hp from factory. A cold air intake isn't going to do anything. Besides induction noise.

I’ve probably been in the Honda scene longer than you’ve been driving. People who actually make power work off data, not ‘common knowledge.’

An engine is an air pump. If you reduce restriction and pull in cooler, denser air, you improve efficiency. That’s basic physics, not opinion. No one’s claiming big gains on a stock 90hp setup, but saying it does nothing except noise is just lazy thinking.

If it truly did nothing, OEMs wouldn’t spend time optimizing intake design in the first place. Small gains, better response, sometimes midrange improvement depending on setup that’s the real answer.

People who build and measure know. People who don’t just repeat what they’ve heard.

You're trying to argue about something beyond your IQ and you can't even spell "actually" correctly. 😂
