Hi Justin,

Thanks for your inquiry. We are currently looking for a local 2015 Honda Fit for intake prototype.

You can also share the link listed below out to forums so people have access to our R&D facility can consider our intake project:

Wow, no takers?

 

I know that's crazy man slow start for the gk dude, I'm in cali now I wish they could do all the research they need in a day lol

 

Just talked to HPS and they are working on a new intake for the 2015 Honda fit.. I will keep you all up to date with pictures and when it will be hitting the market.

 

CleanGD3...Did you see this? --> GK5 Honda Fit Intake Coming Soon

I guess HPS got their donor car.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in the design of the intake (curve towards firewall....or away, connected to cold air source, CAI or SRI, etc). Especially if they have dyno numbers or information. Just curious!

Also, please keep adding items to your GK5 section. I just ended up ordering a strut tower bar.....randomly. Seems like a good price.

 

I sure did man its good news and I'm glad it's from a company that knows what their doing, from the looks of their instagram post I think it's gonna be a cold air intake

 

I just checked their instagram and didn't see any references to any intakes. Link?

 

So im hoping their with their hashtags it has cai so maybe they have that in the works its just me speculating.. plus i think i would rather wait for a chambwred intake like what your working on.

 

Wow, awesome! Great to hear an intake in the works! Wish I could be the tester!

 

I will keep you guys up to date with whats going on

 

i hope they make a large diameter silicone hose that connects to the OEM airbox

 

I guess there were still no takers.

 

Tell me about it. I'd be all over prototyping that intake if I lived in Cali, but I'm on the other side of the States, PA...

 

Found this on their facebook page. Didn't see anything on their site yet, though. I'll report back here as soon as I hear back from them.

 

OMG! YESSSSssss! I am liking the looks of this intake vs the Weapon R and AEM. Woot, Woot! Looks like a pain in the ass to install though. As if the front bumper and the bottom aero piece(s) may need to be removed.

Thanks for posting this. This looks promising!

 

Wow...I have a lot of info for you guys. Just got off the phone with them.

The intake is available NOW through their dealers. They have a CAI (Cold Air Intake) and an SRI (Short Ram Intake). The CAI can be converted to the SRI.
Here is a link to a list of their dealers ---> HPS DEALERS

The CAI made 5.4whp and 5.3lb-ft of torque.
The SRI made 3.5whp and 3.1lb-ft of torque.

Dyno graphs of both will be posted shortly on their Facebook page (I ask them to put it up.)

The CAI part number is 37-568-WB (WB=Wrinkle Black, R=Red, BL=Black, P=Polished).

The SRI part number is 27-568-WB (Same color options, etc).


BTW: They did have an intake that made 9whp but it threw a code. I asked the gentleman to leave that option open to purchase and DO NOT scrap the parts. Leave it open to sale because tuning options are almost complete for the GK5. He's going to talk to R&D to see if they will have the 9whp CAI parts available for purchase.


alnepo1028 - Thanks again for posting up the info bro. Sorry if I jump the gun but I move pretty quickly when I get a little bit of info.

 

Myxalplyx - No worries man....goes to show how much quicker a response one can expect from a phone call as opposed to an email and a Facebook message.

Any advice for us guys out here in California? According to one of HPS' dealers, there's isn't anything out there now that'd pass smog here.

 

Move!

Seriously though, I have no idea.

 

I'd feel really nervous driving in the rain with that.
