At Hybrid Racing, crafting an intake system that not only adheres to specific guidelines but also maximizes power across various engine combinations is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Drawing on the success of the eighth-generation Civic Si intake system, Hybrid Racing has meticulously developed this Cold Air Intake System specifically for DC5 RSX owners.

Prioritizing Power Within Design Constraints

Acknowledging the size limitations within the DC5 chassis, Hybrid Racing optimized the intake system to a 3-inch design. When paired with the high-flow velocity air filter, this Cold Air Intake System achieves power gains of up to 10% (5-10hp) across the powerband compared to short ram systems, while also significantly reducing intake air temperatures.

Battery Relocation Not Required

Understanding the preferences of RSX owners, Hybrid Racing has designed this intake to allow the battery to remain in its OEM location, offering both performance enhancements and installation convenience.

Compatibility and Installation Considerations

To ensure optimal performance, this intake system requires a 70mm or larger throttle body and is compatible with RBC/RRC style intake manifolds. It may not fit with OEM PRB intakes. Installation involves slight trimming of the LH inner fender lining and the removal or relocation of the OEM windshield washer bottle. Adjustments may also be necessary for vehicles with OEM Type R brake cooling ducts. The included radiator hose is designed for the K20A/A2/A3/Z1 water neck and may not be suitable for the K20Z3/K24 water neck.
