Dexter Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm aiming for 200bhp. I've got the exhaust side sorted out, now it's time to focus on the intake. I'd like opinions on 3 things: 1. Intake kit. The most popular choices here seem to be an ITR box with K&N filter, whale or cold air intake. Any thoughts? What about heat shields, anyone built one? I'm currently running a brandless aftermarket short ram without any shielding, probably not the best option. 2. Throttle body. Going for a bigger manifold obviously needs a bigger tb. Been thinking about ITR or Skunk2. 3. Intake manifold. Once again ITR and Skunk2 are the ones i've been considering Also heard good stuff about Edelbrock Performer X. So what do you think? After these upgrades the next logical steps will be a fuel pressure regulator and Hondata. I know i won't make the most out of these, let alone get 200bhp, without changing cams but that will be a bit later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogg1210 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've got a bloxs intake and dc2 TB Also have fuel pressure regulator and whales induction car goes very well need to change whales tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've got dc2 intake and throttle body, but still got the c4 manifold. I'm wary about changing it for the fear of loss of low end grunt. Think that when I get around to the intake mani I'll get a c4 one ported. Probably unrelated, but looking into tuning the wifes k24 (just research you understand...), there's a small gain top end for changing to the type r intake mani, but a loss in usable torque across most of the range. https://www.hondata.com/tuning_k24a2_tsx_engine.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 As far as I know the EK9 / DC2 B series are 60mm TB; Get one, a thermal gasket for both TB and intake manifold from say thermatec - Port match the mani and the TB to gasket size and you'll make power in a much smoother band too Throw on a Whale c0ck, a S2000 cone filter (OEM / Aftermarket OEM style) in a box of some kind and you'll make a few hp.. might need to map it in though to make most of the power 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10000rpm Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Just a whale intake will be of no benefit due to heat soak Intake kit wise I Currently have a whale intake with a Blox 4" velocity stack and 6" filter with a direct cold air feed fitted to my aerodeck. Throttle body I would go for 68mm or 70mm. I have a 70mm fitted. Intake manifold I would have the new style skunk2 intake manifold over the performer x. I changed from old skunk2 to new style and you could feel the difference in midrange/topend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of my customers have also said the same. I wouldn't waste money on getting the stock manifold ported. The problem for power/flow is in the design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
