Default Takeda Intake for '06+ Civic Si released. Steep power gain claims!

An applications link from their website with dyno, photos, video, etc.

http://www.takedausa.com/application/applications.php

Apparently one of our own.....zeusone....has this intake. The numbers seem pretty high for just a SRI....17HP and 16ft./lbs. tq. Was wondering if anybody had any insight on this company and if these numbers are in anyway accurate. And if so...what are they doing differently with their intake design to produce such good numbers??

Here's the video from the website apparently with zeusone's car on the dyno doing some pulls.

Takeda claims those numbers on their dyno. I'm with rico, I'd like to see some other dyno numbers with this intake.

I can't stand videos that do dyno runs and then don't show the results in the same shot right after the dyno run. Kinda takes away from the believability of the claim.

Well I hope someone lets us know how good it is. It's very hard to believe, the most I think I have seen is the K&N one.

heres some insight. the current guy thats running Takeda worked for Injen, then he left them to start Fujita. he was one of the originators of Fujita, he then left Fujita. now hes starting up Takeda with the help of AFE,

I hope we see a dyno soon, I've been looking into getting an intake, but I think i'm going to wait for my car to get its first oil change.

Second, would I be able to switch it to the stock filter for warranty purposes? Or is there anything the intake will do to give itself away that I was using it? I mean it sounds like it wouldn't, but XBOX won't fix your XBOX if they notice a slight smudge on your input.

Haha, well doing all this stuff isn't that hard... getting the degree is the hard part.

I'm about to finish a double in Mechanical and Material science, both are perfect for this kind of stuff. If you guys ever wanted to make little custom metal parts for your cars, you guys should learn how to use SolidWorks, really cool CAD 3D modeling program you can use to CnC things with.

yeah, the only way I can see it giving more than 17HP is 1. if it has its own AC externally welded outside of your car or 2 magic beans have used to create the filter which causes air to instantly be at 0 degrees when it passes through.

We have entire breathing systems (i/rh/e) pushing out ~20hp and now we have news of a SRI intake that pushes ~15hp ALONE?

More like rumors till we get the dyno runs. But hell, if it's true than imagine when Takeda does make a breathing system! But claiming 17HP gains is a very very BOLD statement for a company to make, if it's not true and they lied... they'll be hurting... unless their CAI is competitive against Injen, K&N and AEM.

Man I'm hoping it's true though, wouldn't even mind if it was a 15whp gain.

The numbers read like they're the full ihe combo, but they're marketing the gains strictly from the intake alone.

I'm sorry, is this with the takeda intake or a custom intake you made? And I take it this isn't an Si right?

Those results aren't that bad.
