#580 is now SUPERCHARGED!

CONGRATS on finally getting it done...don't know how you & WG could sit on such a tasty mod for so long...woulda driven me nuts having more ponies sittin' in a box in the basement for that long.

But that's just me...

Its called procrastination brutha! I am a Certified Lazy Toad.

Just to add, I bought the Civic SI C/F intake and modded it to work with the S/C and well, 1/2 of Tone's green filter. I will snag some pics of it later tonight if I can remember. Looks !@#$ing great and with the wider C/F intake resevoir, you get a pretty meaty sound out of the air being vacuumed in through it. It's not 100% done, but neither is most of what I have started on my VX, heh.

Wormgod, please post links to what you got. I too need an intake tube that works with the S/C install.

I've got a guy who will make me a 3" diameter, 0.03 thick CF tube up to 21 inches in length, and is willing to bond flanges on the ends plus reinforce areas for the temp sensor and any bonding points - price is very cheap but I'm not sure if he can make the turn (would need to buy a bend to place between the TB and top of the tube). I'm thinking it's about 22 degrees but I haven't had time to measure yet. Can you measure the length of that Green filter (I'm assuming you got the one with the heat shield and ventura tip) - I'll need to factor that in. Also any pics would be helpful.

As you can see, I forgot to snap a pic last night. Boy.... thats surprising! Making a stronger mental note to make sure to pull the VX into the garage tonight and snap a pic. I dont take pics in the driveway anymore since everytime I seem to be doing something with it in the driveway, some neighbors have to stop by to see "what I am doing to it now".

I should do it tonight though, considering I got a new airflow sensor and need to put it it. Perfect opportunity to bag 2 birds with one stone.

Can anyone provide dimensions of the Green filter from Tone? I've got mine on order and need the distance from end-to-end to get the CF tube made for the intake.

Johnny, I have the Calimin filter on mine (cone-shaped but not pointy). It's about 10" or 11" though, minus an inch or so that overlaps the end of the MAF sensor.

are you talking about the twister cone w/ the heat shield? here are the numbers from green performance's website

Green Filter
Part # Inlet Diameter Length Diameter Base Diameter Top
XL 2501 3-11/32" (85mm) 10" 7.5" 3"
XXL 2505 3-3.4" (95mm) 11" 8" 4"

I highly recommend the Twister cone. It worked great with the stock vacuum setup, but with my new CAI, it would not fit. I had to take the heat shield off. That thing is quite large. My plans are to mod the CAI routing to get not only the heat shield to fit, but to vent more flowing air to that front corner of the engine bay. I was in the garage last night toying around with a vent kit I have, but sadly, finding a good route to run the 3" vacuum line from the front cladding into the airbox/filter location is not easy to do. Cutting a hole in the radiator support would do the trick, but I will give up before I have to do that.

Still working on it.

And alas, batteries were dead in the camera last night, Charging now, so pics are coming.
