my friend told me to take the cover off the intake box to expose the filter and it will run better but i feel a better pull with it on and i feel like its robbing the filter of air. tell me what the truth is? thanks.

 

false, honda put the air box on for a reason. I think they know what they are doing a little more then your friends The plastic fights against heat soak...

 

Removing the lid adds noise, not power.

 

this.

but if you like the noise, then keep the lid off

 

I don't think it would really make a noticeable power loss, unless you are at the track...

 

I did a test a while back with my friend with a turbo D16. He made 190whp. anyway, I ran him with everything bone stock and i pulled him about 2cars. once i took the lid out and ran just straight filter, he took me about a good car.

 

damn, I was wondering how bad it would affect the car. Maybe, I should but a intake on my turbo? O__o

 

as weird as this may sound but ive never had a filter on any of my previous turbo setups.

Right now I cant fit one do to the oil filter relocation kit. I might have one on once I drop my new motor in with a new manifold.

 

what manifold did you go with?

 

I have a revhard now. The turbo sits a inch away from the oil filter relocation fitting. RcautoWorks is making me a custom top mount tubular for dirt cheap. I think they have done one other one similar for the S2000.

 

nice. rcautoworks do some good work.

 

wait?! Where do you live?

 

exactly where my location says. playboy mansion

 

Are you?

They are gonna be putting my new motor in over the winter. I love Bob and Branden (very homo)

 

built motor? or just putting in another stocker

 

I picked up a blown F20 Thursday. I should have it sleeved next month and then after that buy all the internals. I'm also going with Kpro. I just want around 450-480.

 

you blew your stock motor?

 

Its smoking randomly. I did a compensation test and it had low numbers but all the same and its acting weird. I wanted a built motor any ways... just now Ill have to bust my *** with some over time and get this done sooner then I thought.

 

you gotta pay to play i guess. this aint a cheap hobby. i also need to pick up a spare block sometime
