Using existing parts from you'r Type-R. You will need to remove the resonator box from under the passenger fender well. Then using the most important tool of all "The Dremel" cut the resonator box in half using a cutting pad. Inside you will notice a tube that looks like an Comptech Ice-box tube. The tube actually already attaches to the under side of your Intake box. Now that the tube is out if the resonator box remove the air intake box aswell. Then take both items and drill four small holes were they connect together so you can zip tie them together. So they do not come apart. Note: only zip tie them together when the air box is back in the car, so you may hook the tube to the bottom of the intake box easier. Rather than trying to put it in the car with it all together. Here are some pics for you to enjoy. One option is to get a k&n replacemant filter & also a metal intake tube.

Anyway, what do you think of it?

Thanks for the info.......

 

Looks good, ive see something similiar before.

 

thanks I was bored and don't have the money just yet for real intake so this works for now

 

very good

makes one think twice about buying an icebox

 

I wonder if you actually gain or loose hp.

 

Dunno I haven't even dyno'd the car yet. I am waiting on my DC-Sports JDM header and Hybrid garage cat. So I guess we will see.

 

Nah it doesn't...that piping is smaller than the Icebox...Diameter is key when it comes to a CAI.

 

There was a similar piece, a "kit" called the Icetake that you could buy that was basically the same thing as this available awhile back. It lost power on every ITR dyno I saw.

I believe it could have gains on non-ITRs, but not on an ITR.

 

This is on a Type-R and I am using all stock parts from my car.

 

would it be a bad thing if it was actually facing forward? like towards the front bumper ? i kinda have mine like that.. ergh.. dont know if that's actually a bad thing..

 

Nice!

I've never quite seen it done that way.

A great DIY, in my opinion!

 

You can't turn it forward cuz of the pipe shape. It is like an oval shape.

 

Looks pretty cool.. too bad no one knows if you gain or even lose power.. you gonna dyno?

 

i have the mugen one turned forward.. is that bad??

 

u think this really works. where does the filter go. does it go in the same spot?

Its fine. I have that too.

 

if you got better gains, dont you think mugen would have told you to face it forward??

 

BSq has a similiar kit.i have it and does its job

 

Comptech tells you to turn it forward as well...

I'm sure this will gain a horse or two over stock since you are taking off that resonator.

BSQ's DIY icebox was dyno'd on an ITR and showed an average of 1-2hp loss vs. the stock intake. However I'm sure it would help on a non-R, when comparing to a stock non-R intake.

that was going to be my follow up argument

 

Is there anyone who has actually dyno'd this set-up??

 

That's good idea. I also did the intake pipe from front bumper to air box. I think this system may get more cold and fresh air. But it just good for racing, not good for slow car. When you go 100km/hr, put your hand to outside. You will feel that hard.
