Gruppe m ram air charger intake

  • Gruppem intake for K series
Getting more power from a naturally aspirated car is rarely a simple task - sure you've got all the stages of breathing such as air filters, cams and so on but what if the engine is already producing 100bhp per litre. The K20A engine found in the EP3 Civic Type R(DC5 type r) needed a little more power. The first few air filters available were the usual cone filter affair. This usually does for most people and their cars but the anomaly with the Civic Type R is that the Intake manifold is at the front rather than the rear of the engine. This meant the the piping for the cone filters forced cone to face the bulkhead - next to the hot exhaust manifold. Not only this but with open cone air filters you lose the vacuum surrounding the filter as found in the big black hunk of plastic known as the OEM air box.
