Honda Civic CX Hatch
Normally when talking about horse power, top speeds and acceleration the hatchback Honda Civic would not be at the top of our list, and yet here we are talking about the very same subject here, so what has changed!
This Honda Civic CX has been in the builder’s family since it was new so he knows the history and obviously the car inside out, but that does not change a car, it’s the Garrett turbocharger that could make all of the difference between a serious car and the one that the owner’s dad used to drive around in.
Now this car is capable of knocking out 586 HP, 420 lb/ft of torque, it will touch 145 mph and do the quarter of a mile in just 9.85 seconds, which is clearly excellent to get down to the superstore for the groceries and maybe a pizza or two, which is what you would express delivery.

Cold Air Induction Intake System with Air Filter – Honda Civic DX/LX/CX
Product Description
Cold air induction intake system for the Honda Accord is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the Honda Accord engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The extended aluminium piping amplifies the effect by delivering colder air that contains more oxygen. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion (sound). The best of both worlds is at your fingertips. Cold air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Honda Accord the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.

Secret Weapon Intake (Honda | Civic | DX/LX/CX
Product Description
The air filter can be totally taken apart and cleaned. The foam is denser and more thicker than the Dragon filter.
The velocity stank inside the air filter is a TRUE VELOCITY STACK. The Air filter has Ram Air capability, by hooking up the hose to the top of the air filter.
The intake has another Air Passage way inside the intake pipe to create an Air Fusion, imagine 2 different pathways of air inside the intake pipe, one air travelling in pathway #1 going 2 x faster than pathway #2. When the two different pathways of airflow meet at the end of the pipe they create a fusion effect which enhances the AIR SPEED of the by 3 times.
The Secret Weapon Intake Systems is a result of countless hours of testing and tuning of air intake velocity, Airmass and Airspeed for each vehicle application. The Result, an intake system that performs better than any Cold Air Intake, but with a Short Ram. It is possible by Weapon*R’s Patent Pending Speed Velocity theory, by creating a higher airspeed in the intake path you increase air mass and airspeed, which greatly increase horsepower.
This is possible by creating two different paths of airflow, both flowing at different airspeeds, due to the tubing diameter in which the air is travelling. Now when the 2 different paths of air meet, they create a vacuum, which is where the airspeed starts to multiply, forcing more air into the engine at a higher rate, creating more horsepower.
The Secret Weapon Intake Systems are carefully CNC mendrel bent out of 6061 Aluminium, and then Hand Tig Welded in sections to ensure a constant balance in airflow, regulation in airspeed, positive seal and proper fitment. Each one of these intake systems are carefully tuned, by matching the engines displacement, air intake capacity and airspeed to the intake systems tube size, length and secondary pathway tubing diameters to maximize the full potential of the SECRET WEAPON INTAKE SYSTEM.
