Hey guys, thinking about turboing my stock D16Y7, recommendable or not? - Page 4 - HondaClub.com

One last thing, I had this set-up for like 2 years before getting a sponsorship from Fujita an switching to them. I had no problem passing inspection in NY, which is the second toughest state [behind Cali] on this sort of stuff. Never had a problem, and i miss the sick sound it made. [the fujita is quieter]

Hey answers are answers. Make of them what you will. That's kind of how it is with performance: you can either DIY and save some cash, or pay someone else to do it for you. while paying is easier, DIY is much more rewarding personally.

The AEM short ram for the DX is $135, and the CAI is $249 for the basic version w/out bypass valve, and $305 for the bypass valve version. I mean this isn't as pretty, nor can you brag you have AEM. But you have **** close performance for an easy $100 less, now you can brag about that.

I sent you a pm for that, but anyways, I can go over there. What sort of modification do I need for the bypass?

Just a sharp drill bit in the proper size, maybe have to buy a plug or some heavy caulk. It all depends and no two set-ups are the same.

P.S- I agree with you completely Beaters DIY is much more rewarding, and not to mention cost affective.
