What did you do with your Z today III

JARblue

This happens all the time when the Z is in the garage and my keys are in my pocket. My Honda key is the culprit, often pressing the alarm button when I squat down or lean up against the counter or something. Never happened in public, but my wife gives me plenty of $hi+ whenever it happens.

hi mr.alcheng- yah, i got the droid4, cradle, adapter, some other stuff for my mac, etc. all on the way.

mr.zman- i liked my R2C intake when i had it. the IAT wasn't that much higher than stock. stock is like 15-17F higher than ambient at around 60F ambient going normal traffic. it's hard to tell how much higher unless you compare back to back as engine heat does not go up linearly.

anyway, it was just too much noise for me at higher rpm...i like it quieter.

ive done that while squatting down to clean my wheels. scared the shittoes. since i was in my garage. hahaha.

JARblue

Ken-san do you have a good recommendation for checking the stock temps before I install the intake and then afterwards? I don't have anything with remote sensor though. Also, when you say higher RPMs, how high? I'm hoping its slightly louder but close to stock up to about 3K RPMs, maybe 3500 - above that I don't care how loud it gets

It usually happens when I'm digging around the computer closet, but I've done the same thing myself in the garage Its pretty loud with the garage door down, too.

JAR- you can use a scanguage or something like my nuvi ecoroute to find out wat your IAT's are via your OBD2 port.

high as in 5K to redline. i dont like making a lot of noise up there, i like the car to sound smooth.

alcheng

I don't have the RC2, but I notice the noise depends how much the opening of the throttle, the Typhoon I am using doesn't make too much noise below 4000rpm, not much even above 4500rpm if the throttle is only 50% open

Temperature, to be honest, I wonder the CAI will make any difference since the OEM design works like a CAI already ==> outside air goes into a fully sealed chamber all the to the combustion. The plastic vs metal hose might have a bit affect.... but will it make a huge difference...


Trust me... you need this:
