I got a AEM sri for 20 bucks from a friend. Sounds great far as more hp i dunno. It's an intake you can't expect much.

I had an ITR AEM CAI on my b18c1 swapped eg about 2 years ago. Driving in a pretty heavy rain storm with no puddles. My car hydrolocked so bad it bent and twisted my rod. Which is why I'll never have a CAI every again.

get a comptech icebox! it like gives 3 or 4 less hp than the injen/aem cold air intakes. and you wont have to worry about hydrolock either!

bypass valve will not guarentee no hydrolock on the k-motor
i've known 2 cars that were friends of mine that hydolocked, both AEM
maybe because of their dry flow filter (i dont know)
fujita > injen > aemfujita because its cheaper for basically the same thing

did you read what i just wrote
the bypass valve is ineffective with our k-motors
if it really worked, everyone with a cai would have it install in their car
well known sites don't even carry it
you can probably get the crap off of ebay or something

i don't know anyone anywhere with a bypass valve for the k-series
there's a reason for thatthe owner of clubrsx (chris) and who ever made bypass valve for at the time,
ran some test and made a thread about it
do a search on clubrsx and educate yourself
don't make a new thread on there, everyone will flame you because the topic has been talked about over and over for a long time

This isn't Club RSX. I have not seen the answer posted on here, so I see no harm in asking. Make this a better board

You don't know about anyone running a bypass on an RSX because it is VERY difficult to install one. The intake is all one piece, so you would have to cut it in half, and even then, it is a very tight fit at the rad. It has NOTHING to do with the bypass not working on an RSX!!!

i understand that
i'm trying to follow through with provened information
some are using rumors and having assumptions that since its been used for other cars/motors that it will be fine for ours

as i said in the previous post that it has been done before, but its ineffective
water will still rise to the throttle bodyif you guys find any information or credible article on this subject then please enlighten me

here you go, i hope this helpsread post #24 http://forums.clubrsx.com/show...valve "Don't worry about a by-pass valve, it doesn't work on the k-series motor like it does on the b-series. AEM is the only company that makes one and they don't recommend it's use on an RSX." quoted for Chris Dye

By that reasoning, if it doesn't work on the RSX, it wouldn't work on any car. There is nothing different about the RSX compared to other cars. The throttle body isn't any higher or lower on other cars, and neither is the filter. As long as the bypass is installed above the filter, it will work when the filter gets submerged. The only way the bypass works is if there is enough vacuum within the intake system to draw the valve open. This requires a significant amount of water into the filter. If water is just being splashed onto the filter, then there is nothing that will stop it from being sucked into the engine. This applies for any filter location though, not just CAI. The space limitations are the only reason it wouldn't work. Things like the rad hose, wiring harness and the shifter counter weight all get in the way.

Doesn't the bypass valve eat a little HP as well?I still think there are better and safer solutions out there for a street car, like the comptech icebox. If it were a race car, then an AEM CAI is the way to go.

Get a CAI for the performance, then switch to your stock unit for the rain season. Doesn't take long to switch between the two. Done.
