Default password jdm intake ?

looking into a password jdm power chamber intake for my rsx type s. i was reading along and it said somthing like garrented 18 whp. i stoped right there and thought to myself theres no way in hell. my question is has anyone just one on there type s with nothing else an noticed a big difference. cause hell 18 whp is alot when a car only has 170-182 to the wheels

10% increase it pretty bad ***! I was reading a dyno test on a Honda Fit and a lightweight crank pulley yielded a 10% increase in HP. I couldn't believe it. That is what they claimed. Which on a fit is like 10HP. That's a big deal. I have heard good things about the powerchamber but I can't justify buying another intake when I already have my AEM CAI. Even if it is better.

passwordjdm intake is way to expensive and plus you have to relocate the battery... rather spend my money on KPRO!!!

It's sexy if you have a carbon fiber addiction. Other than that... if you want really power gains in an intake stick with the Injen C.A.I

The injen comes with a new windshield washer bottle for fitment... does the chamber come with the necessary parts for a battery relocation? Which is not cheap to buy good cable, fuses and fuse block, and connectors.

My $.02 though. Everyone has an opinion

The guy before you said the gains are bad but has anyone even had one on their car and dyno'd to see if it really is good or not... and the whole powerchamber intake with the relocater kit and a new battery all together is $450 thats not that bad. If it really does add 18.1whp like they say it does, isnt $450 worth it. How much power does the Injen add anyone have dynos of it?

haha calvin you really are the all mighty!

I have dyno charts to prove the power chamber lost power on my GSR vs a CAI but it's not the injen nor a k series so it doesn't matter. I really truly feel that they just had a spike somewhere in their dyno graph that showed 18hp. Cause no way could it make that much gain and have no big response to the tuner community.

moving up to stage 2 cams barely give you an increase of 20whp, why would an intake give you 18whp? and the Injen is around 8 whp increase i think.
