for the injen? isn't there already one made for FD2?
nah u need intake manifold still im pretty sure - i remember asking jdmyard i think, and they said i still need rbc intake manifold =/
just get simota carbon charger intake - thats what im getting =D
hm just waiting for reply because a guy has done it to his FD using the gruppem. i just gotta do everything the same as him then hopefully it will work
ok the guy said the systems is nearly the same as mine. i just need to get the pipe where the MAF sits to be same as stock which is 70mm. where as mine is 80mm as i found out today when i took it apart. i told the guy if it was all like the original but i guess it wasn't.
ok another update

To make up a new pipe that is the same as the original was around $450 :thumbdwn: so instead took a chance and told him to cut off the OEM MAF sensor part and stuck it on the intake pipe. The MAF pipe was threaded and glued on to the adapter and fiberglass was added for more secure fixing (Works out to be cheaper if it didn't work, to buy a new top half of the air box is $175 from honda). Everything works now, well for the last 2 days. Should be working fine as using the original part and it only matters where the MAF sensor sits. Can't go wrong if using OEM part.
So to anyone buying the GruppeM intake for FD2R and wants it to fit the FD2/1. It is easy now as i have gone through all the hassels haha. All you need to do it cut off the original part and move it back (if using OEM piping) or make a new pipe with the original part on it (should cost about $250 fitted)
this looks really good man. do u notice a difference in power, sound etc? i wouldnt mind doing some stuff to mine but i don't know anything about engines etc so id have to get a shop to do everything for me. just seems not heaps of stuff that gets done.
thanks,
power erm... only a small difference. an intake wouldn't give much power unless you get an exhaust, extractors etc
the sound is really loud, feels a bit faster in acceleration.
just do lots of research and you'll find that a lot of people have done what you would like and gone through the difficult process and all you need to do is follow how they did it. Or you can change it up a bit to your liking.
I couldn't find anyone that did the gruppem so i gave it ago and only one person in singapore has put it in a FD2 not FD2R. a difficult process to put this in but once you know what is needed then anyone can do it.
only downfall of modding engines is when you start you will never end, you will want to do more and more. you can't have something without the other to give more performance. but for me its only intake, extractors and exhaust.
thats what i did to mine i cut off the OEM MAF sensor part and attached a k&n filter and made a custom heat shield work just as good.
