good morning everyone! it's monday
this weekend i modified my busted airbox and turned it into a chambered intake! i cut out all the baffles and used some of the removed plastic to patch up the cracks. then i used the sanding tool on my rotary cutter to smoothen out all the rough edges. the entire project took 4.5 hours but i took my time and watched the laker game as i was doing it
results: better throttle response and a nice pull between 2.5 rpm all the way through the rest of the rpm band - i can accelerate uphill again haha! the best part is that i don't have all the noise from an sri/cai plus the added filtration from an oiled air filter.
i'm still not done, next part of this project is to connect an air channel from the intake inlet to the bottom of the driver side fender to route some cooler air into the box. then, i gotta come up with some kind of theme for my valve cover and paint the air box lid to match

damn, the thought never even crossed my mind to put together a DIY LoL. when i take the airbox off again i'll take pics of the original (i have a spare that i bought from evan) and my grassroots-supa-power-box-cuttah-extreme intake
i'm really happy with the results. i downloaded a pocket dyno app for my iphone for shits and giggles. after i input my Fit's specs and did a few runs before and after the modified airbox, i went from a baseline of 63 whp to 67 whp after installing the 'intake' LoL. it's not an exact science but it beats paying $400 to dyno a car not worthy of it

what's up matt!
i got your PM the other day. i don't have the budget for a track-day and i'm still on stock tires and brakes - i would just slow everyone else down. thanks for the invite though

The first time I tracked, I was bone stock. You learn how to set up your car afterwards.

hahah shhh!!! i have an intake, but if you can show me how to do it, I'd be down to throw it together... then I can sell my intake for the same price [I got my intake on black friday for 260 [t1r]
How about you Sean? Interested in going to the track?
Daamn I'm with Charlie over here. Right now, I'm trying to get my car ready for the Tri City Meet. Give me a couple months
it's really easy, not as "involved" as SHG_Mike's project. when you've got time just pop the lid off of your intake box, pull out the filter, and start poking around. right by the air inlet there's a hole that channels the air through a series of baffles to muffle the sound of your intake. i just cut anything that would abstruct air flow - no real science to it LoL.
it's like a labyrinth inside this thing, i did a lot of cutting in the areas that i could reach and i'm sure there's a lot more that i could remove to increase the airflow. it's a fun project and a cheap alternative for anyone who's looking into buying an intake but doesn't have the budget for it or wants the extra dirt/dust filtration
i'll be in torrance again on saturday, i'll hit you up and you can come see what i'm talking about if you have time.
Okie dokie.
when i paced through topanga canyon all i got from my Fit was wheel hop, tire spinning, and brake fade. i have an idea of what i need, now i just need the money to get there
mmMmMMm t1r. their intake would out perform a stock airbox with the baffles cut out forsure but it's worth a shot!

aiite fasho. yeah just hit me up.
haha lets just hit up gmr! lol
hahaha, if you think about it. that 1.5 hp costs between $200 - $400 in "honda dollars."
a fujita cai is 'supposed' to give you a 2-5 hp bump and a t1r/power box chambered intake is 'supposed' to give you a 5-7 hp bump but the cost difference is like $250 - that's a lot of honda dollars
