NO! TOTALLY USELESS! Make a bit more noise but that's it. Even a SRI/CAI nets very little power gain 2-3 HP maybe. Also another USELESS piece of c r a p is a "chip". They don't work on these cars.TraumaForYou wrote:I am also curious, because I have gotten multiple different responses, do throttle body spacers actually work?
Don't forget the Power FC. Expensive but very useful for getting everything out of the above mentioned mods.Salsa Guy wrote:NO! TOTALLY USELESS! Make a bit more noise but that's it.

Stick with IHE for more power on these cars. If you want more go FI.
Sadly, I don't think "PowerFC" and "affordable" will ever be uttered together except within this context. I guess it's truly a matter of perspective, though. It's just not 'affordable' to me since it's only for, technically, my daily driver. I'd still love to find one myself. Wish my buddy still had his but I didn't get the Vibe until he got rid of his Celica. Dammit, me!TraumaForYou wrote:Know of a good place to get a affordable one?
Just by a cosmoracing SRI for your engine $100. It will include everything you need.TraumaForYou wrote:I am probably going to just build a SRI myself. I did it with my last car and that seemed to be successful. I can get an adapter for my MAF sensor but am concerned that there may be a hose to worry about.
There is some on Ebay for $40. But if you want to take on the hassle of doing it Good Luck then.TraumaForYou wrote:Or I could spend less and make one.
Off the top of your head, do you know the diameter of the breather hose? Im thinking I can drill a hole that the breather hose can fit into but dont want to drill the wrong size when I start the project.Doug14 wrote:just make sure to get right diameter MAF mount and make a spot for the breather hose. Comparing aftermarket intakes, Cosmo really is best bang for buck. Injen, K&N, AEM are more money. I am also a bit biased because Cosmo is from Montreal and has cheap shipping, for Canada at least.
Any amount of leakage will cause a lean code. If you pull the hose off the valve cover, the nipple on the valve cover is the correct diameter and you can buy a hose that will fit that and the intake.TraumaForYou wrote:Off the top of your head, do you know the diameter of the breather hose?
