Got mine installed finally. Thanks much for the DIY.

Really quiet below 3K RPM then you can hear a new growl. Not noticeable on freeway--thank goodnes (hate the drone).

Great throttle response, can really feel a TQ difference, not sure yet about HP improvement for passing.

Overall great bang for the buck and recommended mod!

 

hey love the intake but looking to get a new filter. i measured the intake and its about 5" and i went to every autopart store and cant find one to fit it just wondering if a 4" one will fit because that is the biggest one they have????? please let me know thanks

 

just installed mine, love it! and thanks for the DIY!

 

hey how short did you cut the silicon hose? my hose always bends maybe its too long?

 

how is this intake?

 

I had it for a while and didn't notice a thing as far as power was concerned. A little change in sound at certain RPM, but no real power gain.
Had to finally quit messing around and go KW supercharger.
You'll get more power gain out of a set of their cooler iridium than this intake, IMO.

 

.... Comparing a supercharger with an intake on its own, can't do that bro. And not everyone can afford a supercharger kit grats on yours though.

Anyway, I have a 2006 jazz 1.3 Litre I-dsi here in Australia, it accelerates better at lower RPM because it's an I-dsi (vtec performs better at higher rpms) so I was wondering if this thing only kicks off at 4k RPM, would it kinda be a waste for the I-dsi engine? it probably performs best at 2.8-3.5k RPM...
Or would a short ram intake be a better solution for this? inputs please! New to these car modifications so all information would definitely help!
Thanks in advance guys!

 

Oh btw great DIY OP! +1

 

how much you selling the T1R carbon intake? will u ship to florida? thanks

 

How much would u sell the T1R Carbon Intake? Will u Ship to Miami? can u please email me asap.. Very much interested.. dj_erijesse@yahoo.com

 

Got mine on early this morning just right when I got off work, didn't take me long & smiles on my face XD

 

So haven't heard many comments on MPG....I had the DIY short ram intake using Autozone parts and it robbed me of 3 MPG, had to go back to the stock airbox, any comments????

 

I've been averaging anywhere between 26 and 34mpg here in the city depending on how clever I am.

I just installed the intake last week and haven't done much driving yet but I'll report my MPG findings once I've run a few tanks through.

As long as I stay off the skinny pedal I'm predicting little change.

 

thanks for the help

 

ok. I've had the intake on for aout half a year now...actually a little longer.

But the fuel economy seems to be a little worse but not much. it depends on how much I've been doing hard accelerations. Not a big enough difference to notice.

I just got down with a 1K Mile road trip and I averaged 33mpg doing high interstate speeds and I did have the car packed with luggage.

It sounds good but I have noticed that my piping to vent gases back into the intake is falling apart. Where can I get a rebulld kit?

The filter sits really close to the battery and the intake will rub the batter from time to time. May need a smaller battery or at least figure out how to move it over.

 

i need a new filter for my intake (got it second hand) anyone recommend any filters?

 

I had the same question and found the answer here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/aj-r...tml#post630942

I got the K&N RF-1005 from K&N online.

 

How is the fit if you install the 51R instead of the 151R? Does the initially tight fit (with the battery rubbing on the filter) become impossible?

 

IS the 51R both longer and wider?

or just longer?

If the forward/backward size increase is all then you may be able to work it in there. Especially if you trim the plastic sleeve around the battery and medd with the tie-down. You can't go much wider because you would be rubbing right against the intake chamber.

 

the stock battery is 8 7/8 x 7.5 x 5
and the 51R is 8 3/4 x 9 3/8 x 5 1/16

so basically the same (plus or minus) in two dimensions, but two inches wider/longer (whichever dimension is opposite the direction the car's motion)

if this will not fit, I guess I will try for the SSR
