    Sorry, but for 50-60 hp gains, you need a K&N cold air intake(preferably from Auto Zone)

      Jared Moore no no no you got it ALL wrong
      you need a autozone brand SPOILER for 50-60 horsepower.
      a CAI (that means cold air intake for you non car people :^) ) will get you 300 horsepower easily, my cousin with a honda civic EK hatch says so

    Have you changed phils rocker cover gasket yet that probs why he his leaking out of there

    • @Beer_Dad1975
      @Beer_Dad1975 9 років тому +3

      ***** Yeah, my guess is it's the original gasket that's 20+ years old and hard as concrete. If you are breaking bolts trying to stop your cam cover leaking, then you need a new gasket and/or PCV valve. It's such a cheap an easy job, but hardly anyone ever seems to bother doing it.

    • @turbocivic8694
      @turbocivic8694 9 років тому +3

      Matthew Sharpe My thoughts exactly, lets not forget the bolts should be torqued to spec, thus tightening bolts is never going to help. At the end of the day on a engine like this its not a tough job and has a much higher priority on my list than a cold air intake.

    From my old air cooled vw days (were air flow was sacred), it seems to me that many of these air intake mods forget that air flow shouldn't be restricted.
    I'm seeing a lot of boxes completely blocking air flow to fans and filters crammed into nooks sitting on the frame and with one inch of space between the filter and underside of the hood. Kind of defeats the purpose but I guess if it works...
