factory air box

[ap1.2]

just some thing small but i was reading a post on s2ki.com about if removing the cover of the airbox gave any power so i was bord at work and put the car on the dyno to see if it did make any change before i removed the lid it made 170hpatw after i took it off it made 174.4hpatw so yes it does give a small gain thought i would share it with you guys

Actually quite decent, considering it's not really a modification. In theory the freer it flows the better it's just the damn heat which spoils it

[euromandeluxe]

Hood up or down? If it was up with a fan blowing over it - lol!

I've always noticed a pretty big loss of power with the lid off, especially at low speeds with all the heatsoak.

Before I got an intake system, I would take the lid off from time to time and it would sound alot better but I always noticed a slight loss of power ass well from the heat soak. I guess road conditions and dyno conditions always vary though.

[garett]

yep with the bonnet up, would obviously not suffer from heat issues.

Wow, if only Honda had thought of that!

[garett]

maybe should stick the filter out the bonnet, haha

where can i get that front lip? whats it called? the black lip part im talking about, not the ap2 lip.

[drsilliez]

That yellow s2k is hot. What Honda rims r they? I've never seen them b4 I think....

[vyets]

They are ap2 rims custom painted

The front lip is called a wind splitter and he custom made that one. You can buy a already made one in carbon from apr

[drsilliez]

Ap2 rims. I thought they looked different. Are they v1 or v2?

[vyets]

ap2 v2

Wow, if only Honda had thought of that!

Pfft. Any company that makes sh_t <Insert name of abused part> is obviously not thoughtful.

[JamieP]

that bonnet scoop looks mean as! I love it

[ap1.2]

the bonnet was closed engine temp on first run was with lid on 76 and secound run with the lid off engine temp was 88 the factory ecu does not have temp compensation so it runs leaner at higher temp

Kinda on the same wave length, does any1 recommend getting a cold air intake? any gains in the low end? torque lemme know! the injen intake from JDM yard right now btw just to be specific

[vyets]

With Australia's weather at the moment I wouldn't be getting a cold air intake too much worrying about hydrolock.

Get a short ram with a scoop like the J's racing intake for sale in the FS section

hmmmph, aight thx
