Lagbot Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Are you saying the reflash did something good to your engine? i would say it did lol because the car wants to move and move fast....well about as fast as a 2.5i can go lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOblivion000 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 i would say it did lol because the car wants to move and move fast....well about as fast as a 2.5i can go lol ..... Should I go to the dealership and feign a mysterious CEL? Would that even work??? Don't they usually test problems for reproducability (sp.?)

vitaliy_08 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Lagbot, so have you put the CAI back in yet or are you going to stay with the stock intake system? I have an 08 2.5i and want to install a CAI this summer. It looks like yours worked fine and it sounds very nice, but I'm still a little worried about CEL problems and I might just go with a better panel filter.

katalyst Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 can't go wrong with a panel filter. resonator delete will get your engine humming a long nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOblivion000 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 But the CAI looks so much cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smushybrain Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think I'm going to keep my AVO panel and pick up one of those Zero/Sports intake pipes... http://www.zerosports.co.jp/shop/images/intake_titan_01.jpg http://www.zerosports.co.jp/shop/images/ip_bp5na.jpg I want that titanium one badly... but I'll probably just go with the polished aluminum one.

Pawlwawl06 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 OH SWEET, thats made specifically for N/A Legacy's? Nice find! Too bad it doesn't replace the throttle body also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smushybrain Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 OH SWEET, thats made specifically for N/A Legacy's? Nice find! Too bad it doesn't replace the throttle body also. As far as I've been able to tell it's made for the JDM 2.0 but it looks like it's the right shape. Hard to tell from the little pictures, though. I saw it awhile ago and asked EDO about it and they weren't positive it would fit. So at that time I passed. I might give it a try in the next month or two. I want to do some sort of an axle-back exhaust first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 hmm, maybe we could try to encourage them to do a test fit or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 yeah i saw that on EAT motorsports' posting as well, though i'm not sure how it would influence the intake for performance gains. to me it just looks like a nice bling piece. did you get a quote on how much that would be? edit: reading fails me, the alum piece is $90, ti is $150 (<-- i am corrected by smushybrain, prices are actually $150 for the aluminum, $300 for titanium) also posted up a shot of the 2.5i engine bay for comparision: http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp181/katalyst112/enginebay.jpg to me i don't see how it would be that different putting that piece on since the diameter of the pipe is the same, the volume of air traveling through should be the same as well? though it may offer smoother airflow since there aren't any corrugated "bends" that the stock plastic piping has.

smushybrain Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 ^^ Actually if I read EAT Motorsports post right it is $150 for the polished aluminum and $300 for the titanium one. (It looks like the prices are after the pictures for each item.) Probably not completely worth it... but there aren't many options for us. I just sent EAT a PM about trying one out... I guess I'll be the guinea pig as long as they'll take it back if it doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 dammit, reading fail x 2 for me haha! but alright, sounds good. if it works out well for you i might give it a whirl too. also EAT reports larger diameter and smoother airflow. edit: here is a repost from EAT with the diagram from zero/sports http://www.zerosports.co.jp/shop/images/0413007_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It will be beneficial when we can get a hold of that Accessport I'm sure, but 150/300 bucks? I don't know if its really worth the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagbot Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ok i think after all this time i have found the problem causing the check engine light......the filter that comes with it is way over oiled i have been running it with a k&n filter and it worked fine and then went to the filter it come with and it ended up coating the MAF with oil.... Resulting in a check engine light.......also sorry it took so long but it didnt hit me untill a few days ago that i should try it with the stock filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagbot Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Nice find, any other complaints or problems? I think that was the only problem so if anyone does get the intake from them i would suggest to get some filter cleaner and clean the on with comes with and oil it again or get another filter to use with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08legacy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I just installed the Cosmo Racing CAI on my 2008 2.5i 5MT Pzev. Only got a chance to test drive about fifteen miles tonight. I had no problems and it runs excellent. I couldn't believe how quick the shipping was, i read this thread on sunday, ordered it that night, and it arrived today. I am psyched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socallegacy Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 you need to hit a dyno, and find another guy to go with you to see the difference. i going to find out how much its going to cost first but that is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagbot Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well i sold my CAI to my friend who just got a new legacy and i picked up the cosmo SRI because its been very rainy here. I like the SRI more than the CAI it just seems when you hit the petal it responds a little faster....even with the 4 speed auto. Im going to put some pictures and videos up tomorrow if its nice or even tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
