Better air feed.

[NickCTR]

The standard one is pi$$ poor, noticed this today when cleaning my filter. It's not even facing the front! Does the Mugen air duct fit the standard grille? I would pay for a better airduct that the standard one, should be an easy item to produce, anyone care to approach some companies ?

I noticed this to, it faces off to the left.

Im sure its good enough for the cause or honda would not have designed it that way.

 

[NickCTR]

Nah, better airflow is definitely needed, it's proper $hite just now.

Scouse had a smart carbon duct fitted to his moons ago, dunno if there are any pics still around. brb.

No pics anymore, maybe Carl still has them hidden amongst his p0rn somewhere.

That sounds just the ticket.

i took my standard air feed out when i changed the filter.induction kit. runs much beter

 

[NickCTR]

Had Gruppe, hated the noise, but the design was awesome. If I can run a better air feed I will be happy, combined with modded airbox and K&N filter.

you tried the hondata method nick? how about an itg? less noise there.

 

[NickCTR]

I have the Hondata modded airbox if that's what you mean mate. And K&N filter which is better than OEM.

yeah, how do you find it in reference of gruppe?

 

[NickCTR]

Better pickup throughout the RPM range with modded airbox, without daft noises. Gruppe made VTEC a bit faster.

 

[lukeykb]

Better pickup at low revs, compared to the Gruppe, which felt more benificial at higher RPM.

its a great sleeper/insurance friendly mod

 

[NickCTR]

My webbed feet certainly approve

I like that, apart from the grille bit. Just the ducting from behind the grille to the airbox would be perfect.

Shame it's in French

Cheers N&N

 

[HASNIC]

It does go behind the grill or am I missing something?

 

[NickCTR]

Aye, by the looks of it. Don'f fancy the butchered grille though, just the better feed.

How's your French?

 

[newannaive]

it doesn't butcher the grill, it fits behind it...like so..
