i hope you threw a K&N on it, instead of the cheap filter that was sent with it..Quoted post[/post]]
i dont know about anyone else but to me, intakes are one of the only aftermarket parts that are all the same!!! i would never nor do i see the point of having an $150.00 aem intake when an EBAY special intake for $40.00 will do the same thing. most metal intakes are made out of the same T-304 stainless steel material and all fucntion the same. you car can only let in as much air as the intake mainfold will let it, therefore buying a 3" name brand intake for a car that can only has a 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 inlet is useless, if you going to buy a CAI then maybe that $50.00 bypass unit that keeps the water out might be an investment but thats is, my no-name-brand cold air intake looks and function just as well as a $200.00 AEM V2 and i paid 43.60 with s/h for it on EBAY.

Funny thing happened during my H22 swap. I started the car before wiring VTEC and my radiator fan would come on when I turned the engine off like it is supposed to. After I wired in VTEC, my radiator fans dont seem to ever come on. This really hasnt been a problem so far because the H22 keeps itself pretty damn cool, but regardless. I don't understand how this could happen. The only possibility is that the one wire that seemed to be left out, a WHT/GRN is the cause of this. Anyone have this problem during their swap. The radiator is a year old so I doubt its that. Any ideas?

the filter was one of the only things i did change but that was it and that was only because the damn thing was dirty as all hell from driving , not becuase it was shitty
