im getting a fit in a few day (none in stock) the first thing i was gonna do was get a cold air intake for it... i was gonna install it my self. but ive heard you have to be really careful of puddles and water... is it worth it ? and also is a short ram a complete waste of time ? thanks guys. i cant wait til i get my fit ! -curt

 

I had the same questions, but after typing "Cold Air Intake" along with "Hydrolock" into a yahoo search engine, the info I found was very helpful. Several forums and a couple of Wikipedia entries made my decision to buy one much easier. I've got one coming that should be on my doorstep in a couple of days.

 

thanks for the advice, much appreciated !

 

I concur with Claymore.


And my Aspec exhaust and intake are on the FedEx truck out for delivery today!!!!!

*giddy*

 

id get one again! awsome power for the money.

 

Can someone comment on what'll be recommended for a Fit AT
CAI, Short Ram or the T1R CF Box Intake?

Thanks
WK

 

yea, i was wondering.. my friend has an accord and he said he had to take his bumber off to install his CAI... i didnt wanna get that deep, but i did want to do it my self. is a short ram a waste ?

 

I installed the Aspec CAI without taking off anything but the stock airbox.

 

cool, thanks for all the help

 

by the way... i still done have my fit yet..... dang. i got about another week.

 

I gotta say, the Aspec intake sounds GREAT! Nice growl to the engine, especially above 3K in the RPM band of 2nd and 3rd.

 

Aspec you say? I have an intake on my 01 Ranger 4.0L and it sounds awesome. I need to get one for the Fit. Where can I get one of these Aspec intakes?

 

nevermind lol i found em

 

Yep...best value IMO. It's not nearly as expensive as everyone else, looks great, and it sounds reaaaaaally good.

 

I love the look of that. Still debating on doing just intake or both hmmz

 

Here is a Dyno done by Import Tuner for the Fujita CAI. Gives you an idea of what to expect.

 

Is this in a new issue or what?

 

Sorry I should have posted a link,
No idea which issue, I found it on their web site.

I hydrolocked my integra before.. AEM CAI.. drove over water that collected on the side of the street, certainly not 3ft, maybe 5" MAX, splashed up and a little while later, car locked up and wouldn't start again. I screwed up by cranking so much, later in the night it started back up but something was NOT right. Anyway, 3ft is not necessary to hydrolock, I will say that I did not have the fender liner in place as it was torn off some time before. So yeah, I've always been a little wary since. Fortunately, the intake is on the driver's side now, so collected water on near the curb isn't going to be as dangerous.

 

If you're that worried about hydrolocking, just go to teh AEM website and get the water bypass valve. It's like $60 and will pretty much fit any CAI kit
