What would those numbers look like on a dynojet or a mustang dyno? I know flywheel numbers are quite high, and showing that 17hp increase just for an intake is pretty insane. If it made that much at the wheels you should be charging $1700 for it as most other intakes like AEM, Injen, T1R, Password JDM only made around 3-5whp ($300-$500 for their intakes).

Seems like the going rate for intakes is $100 / 1whp for our cars... but if yours can make twice as much then props to you and everyone should be buying your intake and not even considering anything else.

It was on a dynapack it measures wheel hp. We just haven't got the update for the dyno to make it say whp. Yeah 17hp.. Blew my mind also.

when you say "dialed in" do you mean you guys did some tuning to get the gains illustrated in the charts?

Quote me if I'm wrong please, but are Dynapacks the one where you bolt them directly to your front wheel hubs? like remove the wheels/tires? And if that is the case, then it really isn't a proper representation of whp is it?

I always assumed that wheel horsepower numbers are derived from Dynojets or Mustang Dynamometers. Those ones actually take the car with the wheels/tires on them and get whp numbers.

It does say "flywheel" horsepower as well on the graph tho.

If its actually 17 wheel horsepower like you said, then realistically who would be dumb enough to shell out up to $3500 the Kraftwerks supercharger base kit which only develops a measly 118.6whp on a manual trans, and 109.9whp on an auto trans?

Your intake is making 107.9whp, and the Kraftwerks Supercharged Auto Trans Fit is making 109.9whp.... something doesn't add up?!?!

Given its a GE8 vs GD3 numbers, but I can't see these 2 cars being that different... Is there any chance you can get your car onto a Dynojet? This would give everyone a better comparision between the 2 mods.

Even tho I don't own a GE8, I'd still be interested to see what you guys are able to pull out of the car with your aftermarket parts.

What was the whp increase on the GD3/4 intake? and what kind of dyno was used to get those numbers?

Hot DAMN! That's a fat gain, like something you'd expect to see from a K series Honda!

Maybe the L15A7 head flows a decent CFM... It has a nice 10.4 compression ratio, way higher than any D-Series SOHC..

Maybe bolt-ons will free up decent hp unlike the GD3! Cheap power w00t!

This (for me) is a little hard to believe. I've owned cars with 3X - 4X the horsepower that the Fit has, and intakes on those cars have only produced 8 - 10 WHP... I'm comparing apples to oranges of course, but still that's a lot of HP to gain on such a small engine with just an intake swap.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly hope it's true! If I can gain 15 - 18% more WHP from a $250 mod, sign me up. That's impressive.

I'd like to see a neutral party dyno before anything. Manufacturer dynos mean nothing to me. No way an intake alone can make that much power.

Glad I wasn't the first one to peep in here. Like the others if this really is true then hot damn. But there has to be more to it like people have said a supercharger is only claiming slightly more gains then you are claiming from just an intake hard to believe.

Just my .02. Hope your product is really that good and maybe I can look at getting one of your intakes for my gd3.

I think as long as you have a baseline to go by the % should be fairly accurate.

That is a huge gain, I have never seen an intake make that much power percentage wise. You got some pics of this beast Leo?
