ARC Airbox Specs
I've done a search on this and can't come up with anything. I was told that the ARC Airbox doesn't add any HP or TQ, that it just looks good and makes more noise than normal.
Does anyone have the specs on the <FONT COLOR="DARK GREEN">ARC Airbox</FONT> (so I can prove Josh wrong
)?
Thanks in advance

Um, where are you getting your numbers?
Yes it will add tq/hp, but you aren't going to make that much from an intake on a stock D/B series.

So it's better to build the head huh?
I was considering the TWM 52MM throttle bodies, they're loud (from what I heard).

Re: ARC Airbox Specs (The_General)
Yes, if you're going to get ITBs it's best you build the head first, the $/hp you get wouldn't be that great on a stock motor. If you are going to get ITBs get something smaller than 52mm, get 50mm's or if you can find something a little smaller that might be even better.

Re: ARC Airbox Specs (fwdtamiya)
So the head must be built for the ARC to make a difference.
I thought the ITB's are smog legal, is that or is it not true?

It is not worth it to pay 300+ dollars on a intake for a stock motor. you might feel a slight difference from stock but not much more. And to get any amount of power N/A you must build your head.

I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't about to spend $500 for a cold air intake that adds 8hp and 10tq, that would be stupid.

Re: ARC Airbox Specs (flipstar760)
I'd think twice about taking advice from someone who's signature is
"350hp B16A (n/a).... and what" 350whp from an NA b16 eh.... sure.
I wouldn't bother with the arc airbox, a simple shortram intake with a good filter does wonders or consider a comptech icebox...
Their are other places to find more effective gains... heck... a tune will net you more.

Re: ARC Airbox Specs (The_General)
Are you even listening?
V2 is a waste of money too. If you got money you want to throw away, can you toss it my direction? I'll give you as much hp per dollar as that crap.
Simple short ram with a good filter is all you need.

No basically it's for ARC. And for paying 300+.
ARC is a quality product, and high-priced for a reason. When you are in a class that has strict rules on modifications and must get every last hp to give you an edge... arc is one of those products.

I agree w/ him ^^^^^ the difference in intakes is so minute, you'd never know the difference. Just fab-up a short ram and get a k&n filter. Done.

I'm listening but honestly the V2 outputs more hp and tq than the short rams, plus I can get it for $125. So it's not really a waste of money

Is it? I bet that a shortram with a good filter and some dryer ducting would out preform an intake that has a large square filter... sucking air in from the engine bay.... of course we could be talking about their shortram arm.. not the box... and then its still the same damn thing....
The "gains" from the aem/arc arm etc style intakes are just a matter of a short rpm range where the frequency is matched and you see a small bump... then the rest is usually nominal or can be attributed to dyno differences/variation.

Well it kinda depends on how you look at it...
$125 is a good price for a V2.... but $125 is still rediculous for a cia.
Sure the V2 may net something like 3 more hp and 2 more tq over a short-ram...
But I could fall out of bed and gain performance like that for less (sarcasm).
