starletno1fan Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Anyone rate these?i've found one on ebay US for a scion but they have same engine as mine. If it fits, i may buy it just waiting on reply. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Top-Fuel-US...sspagenameZWD1V Quote
Starletraje Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 its just an induction kit... or cold air feed... same difference Quote
A2KLAU Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Its an induction kit as said but the theory behind the design is that the air enters into the larger carbon fibre chamber and slows down a little, but as soon as it gets "sucked" into the normal witdth piping it gains momentum and as a result acts as a slight ram.. so the air velocity accelerates and "forces" into the engine.. as a result more air = more power..Top Fuel also made what is dubbed as the "whale penis" for the Civics, for me that seemed a better design as it started as quite big at the filter end and then funneled down to the normal intake size.. as a result as the air is sucked in it gathers pace and ends up going into the intake manifold at a quicker velocity than normal..Thats the physics.. as for how well they work.. its an induction kit, expect better responce and marginally better power.. but don't expect something major is what I will say.. in my view they look more pretty than what the end result is, i.e more power..

A2KLAU Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 lol.. indeed, have to agree with that. But I guess if you add decent parts here and decent parts there it will soon add up though! Quote
Guest Enzo Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 ah ok thanx for the explanation,i had one of those whales penis induction kits for my old silver ek4 lol they look wicked! Quote
A2KLAU Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Defo look good them whale penis jobbies, and from looking at the design they do seem to work! Not had one myself as I went for the BMC CDA to get a cold air feed just behind the fog light. That seemed to work very well. Quote
StarletRick Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Defo look good them whale penis jobbieshonestly? are they really called that? because its lol Quote
A2KLAU Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Thats what all the Civic boys know them as lol.. Other than calling it an induction kit or calling it a power chamber, as I believe Top Fuel made a carbon fibre one.. Quote
SiCaln Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 certinaly seems to be, see the similarities lol Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 That is fooking awesome!The whales penis or the induction kit?? Quote
SpeedFreak Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 The whales penis or the induction kit?? The whales penis! Quote
joe-ep91 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 didnt know you had a pet whale sparky! Quote
Starletraje Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 "to answer your question, that big" Quote
SpeedFreak Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I've seen bigger *Looks Down*You wish!! Quote
Sparky Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Actually I dont, that thing would be useless Quote
keirz Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 just had a little giggle there. a whales penis is called a dork so i am led to beleive. hope that helps.........anyway they look good, the theory for them working well is there, the same theory is used in turbo compressor and turbine housing. ie, turbine housing starts wide and then as it goes around the snail it becomes narrower increasing the velocity of the air to the shaft blades. looks a good buy Quote
StarletRick Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Actually I dont, that thing would be useless youve just not been socialising with the right women. Quote
ste91 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 youve just not been socialising with the right women.The fat ones that look like whales? Quote
