Hello,
I have a quick question about Short Ram Intakes. I have a Civic Coupe LX with the R18 (Z1 I think ), and I was wondering if it's safe to add this sort of bolt-on without a tune? I know that the current generation of Honda motors are adaptive, in that they'll eventually begin to work counter to a lot of bolt-ons without an ECU reconfiguration.
To be specific, I'm not really looking for power with this bolt-on. In the past I've had a short ram on an Accord and it netted me 2 extra MPG. I'm basically after similar figures with my current Civic. Is this feasible? Even more so, will my engine's configuration stay the same with this particular modification?
Any help is appreciated-- and I apologize if I asked a monumentally stupid series of questions.
