I was wondering if anyine else had a Type-S airbox assembly on their 5th gen preludes.

 

I have the Type-S intake!

 

I have one on my bb1 if that counts. Good midrange. That aside, not too far off from stock. Kept me in GS though

I've ordered one. I should have it by the end of Feb-or first part of march.

 

where can one be ordered from?

 

A 94 Prelude VTEC is in the SCCA DS class. And the typeS airbox would technically bump you out of that... Cheater!

Andrew

 

just curious, but where would the Type S be placed? Same catagory as the base or SH, or something else?

 

Yep and to be honest with you I like it allot better than the AEM intake I had for the 97-01 Ludes. I first had the 92-96 intake in 99 when I got the car, (best model for the bb6). Sold it and then went with stock, then a year ago i go the JDM intake when i got my head. OMG it was well worth the money. I think the chamber made a big different. It seems as if air is "on tap" and as soon as you open the throttle, the punch its there

i got mine form http://www.Randperformance.com for 180 shipped try them!!!

This was a few years ago, when the 2.5RS came in and pwnd GS. Yippie. But then I doddled over to STS, after my strut bars and such. GS out here is strong.

If you had a real JDM TypeS Prelude, it would probably have to run in a Mod class. They might allow it in Street Mod maybe - which is an almost unlimited street-legal class.

A stock VTEC prelude is eligible for D Stock. If it had a TypeS intake, it should technically be in STS. But if that's all it had done, I don't think most people would care if it ran DS.

Sorry... the link isn't working for me... is it correct?

 

yeah i guess they moved
try http://www.performance-evolution.com...ypeSintake.jpg

email James and he will hook you up!!!

 

is the typeS intake compatable with an h23?

 

Yes it fits right on to the TB!!

 

I have one fitted to my 95 VTEC . Paid equiv to $50 for it from a 99+ Prelude owner who bought an aftermarket "noise trumpet". Mine works!
Here is a pic of it fitted. I have a RAMAIR foam drop-in filter too.

 

From what I have read, this airbox gives good gains all throughout the powerband. However, would an AEM CAI give the most gains (mostly up top)?

Does the type-s kind of run out of steam at higher rpms? Would this be even more obvious with a higher rev limit?

 

I've never had a TypeS airbox. But I put on an AEM CAI last summer. Then in the fall I put the stock airbox and tube back on without the resonator chamber and I was impressed with the increase in low end throttle response and torque that returned to my car.

I'm going to try to dyno both an AEM CAI and a TypeS intake in the spring.
Just giving a heads up.

 

how much you paid for it? i heard it was $$$$

 

I paid $100 shipped for mine. I like it a lot!

 

So guys, this intake fits both the 4th Gen AND 5th Gen Ludes without modifications???

 

I paid $120 plus $20 shipping from Pole Position Products. Here's their link:

Yes!!

Damn you guys are getting good deals on these box's i payed 170 for mine and i had to wait 3 weeks for it to get through customs. But its all good cus it was well worth the money i like it better than the gay *** AEM for the 97-01 ludes!!!

 

Got one for a jdm h22 92-96 if that helps...

 

To be honest, I really don't feel any response from my type-s intake. For instance...if somebody were to secret remove the type-s intake and install my puny lil' stock intake, I would never notice the difference. I guess its just a psychological thing that we paid $100+ and we want ourselves to believe that it has tremendous gains? I still like it anyways! Just my .02
