well after trying to sell this sucker, i just decided to suck it up and attempt to put it in by moving the a/c lines. thanks to the help of chris (underrated99si), i finished the project. Tho he was screaming like a little girl during the process of installation. hehe. well, the intake feels much stronger than the stock box and spoon filter, and it is much more quiet than the j's racing. performance wise it feels as if in top end power, it seems to pull harder than the j's, but as of now the j's throttle response is a tad bit better. well, in a few weeks i'll have the arc chamber for the full intake and see how it is than. i made 175whp with the j's intake and rest of my setup, i'll prolly hit the dyno's sometime soon and see how this one does. kinda my "mini" intake test




pics of my previous setups:

Stock type R intake w/spoon drop in filter

 

looks good

 

Good job chris

Does the a/c still work?

 

Sho' doesn't!

 

do you still have the spoon filter?

 

What are the rest of your mods?

 

O yea nice review too

 

toda 4-2-1 header, 2.5" testpipe, 2.5" jdm kakimoto n1, j's racing intake, hondata stage 3 with s200 ecu. made 175whp 123 torque.

 

what were your tuning numbers before the hondata?

 

170whp, before, but between 5500-6500rpm, i made 15whp. and corrected the fuel air ratio. so midrange my power was awesome gain with hondata.

 

So I take it that it was well worth it

 

indeed, never go back

 

Looking forward to the dyno
