car eats too much gas - Page 2 - HondaClub.com

I'd buy the intake.. Personally 1. It looks better thank all that plastic 2. It makes your engine look a lot cleaner than the plastic. If you go Ebay intake its only $30-$50. All of the engineering is in the filter so, when that filter gets dirty just go buy ya K&N filter at Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts for like $40. I think if i were to get an intake I would rather in a away build my own from name brand/offbrand stuff for $80ish than going out and buying an AEM or Injen short ram intake for $150-$270...

When you're broke you have to be creative. I would've bought a full AEM if I had the money(to get around emissions/cops), but I didn't so I bought the filter. For someone who's trying to pass emissions and nothing else (honda eg), I'd skip all the intake mess and just go down the list of things we started with.

Currently, GasAlly (.com)modified Honda's are passing emmission test's with fewer particles than government standards, with more horsepower and mileage economics topping 85 mpg. It is possible to clean your powerplant by removing the sludge in your engine thus saving you costly repairs. We have a 318 on a dynometer in a perfect world getting 175 mpg. We are working to complete a C.A.R.B. (Honda) certification presently with this technology. Hope this helps.

Yeah, but this guy doesn't need a full on rebuild- he just needs to pass inspection. Cool stuff though...

Also The Car Has A Cx Engine It It But Is Running On A Dx Ecu. And I Get Only Like 28 Mile Per Gallon When I Should Be Getting Around 35 Miles Per Gallon. I Am In Serious Need For Suggestions.

Find the right ECU. OR you might be able to get the right reflash from a shop. Finding the right ECU is your best bet since it will be plug and play.

do you know anywhere where i could find a cheap cx ecu since its only temporary until i pass smog then i am going to go ls swap with a p06(dx) ecu anyways?

Same place where you get anything cheap: the junkyard.
