Hi,
We do have a velocity stack molded in on the filter side. We also HAD an aluminum velocity stack on the throttle body side of one of the prototypes, but after dyno testing, showed a decrease in torque. So...we left it out and decided to go a different route and tune the throttle body inlet using theories from nozzles. This yielded what we believe to be the best results.

As for the short shift kit, we are almost ready for release, just a few minor tweaks and we will have them available. It appears that we are looking at approximately 3 weeks at his time.

Thanks again!

sorry for the unfinished replies...i have already installed the SSI and it is teamed up with the skunk2 exhaust system...all i have to say is WOW what a difference...my friend who has driven my car b4 when it was stock drove it for a long time because i let him use my car from time to time came back and said that the car is faster and more responsive... overall he was very impressed with how different the car feels now i am very satisfied with the I+E combo that is on my car. Great products from both companies

 

is that the best price for the intake?...i know its a lot less inexpensive than t1r and the others...but are there any vendors out there who are selling these intake systems at a discounted price? nvm...i just realized that it was already discounted to 240 thanks...hopefully i can get my hands on one of these soon

 

only from H-Fit.com sells them and if i were you i would jump on that price b4 it goes

 

is this intake carb legal for us California owners, and how is the mpg for u guys who already have it

 

I am interested in this intake and saw the air temperature chart on the product website that compares the stock intake with the SSI.

I'm curious how the SSI achieves significantly lower air temp when the stock intake also appears to be made of plastic and the stock intake seems to draw outside air while the SSI draws air under the hood.

An explanation of how the SSI achieves this would be very appreciated. I think you have a great product and the reviews thus far have been excellent.

I've not seen ANY mention of gas milage. . I'm going to guess milage has gone down , but can anyone comment, if it has, how much?

thx

 

I would imagine if your not on the gas a lot. it will still the same, if not increase.

 

Yeah Wave... YOU get it... like take the bullet for the group!
all kiddin' aside: doe this work as good or BETTER (!?) than the AEM or K&N??

 

ANYTHING fits better than K&N. K&N only makes power at around 5K rpm. According to the charts from H-Fit, the SS makes power at around 3-4K, where most of us drive most of the time. The SS costs the same as K&N SRI but works better according to Wave and many other fitfreak owners.

DO NOT think of K&N SRI as comparable or competitive to any other intake system-- it is worse than all of them. So far, the H-Fit SS comes out on top for performance, fit, and serviceability. Cold air intakes pose a serious potential danger, as Wave's experience proves.

 

My mpg is still the same,i'm getting 30 - 32 mpg,i love this intake and their technical support is excellent,if you have any questions regarding this intake you will get your answer,their engineer knows.

 

thanks for getting back about the MPG. I'd like to know from as many users of the SS as I can, and even the H-fit gang

 

Mud,

I keep track of my MPG extensively and my MPG hasn't really deviated after I got the H-Fit Intake.

The last 2 tanks after installing the Intake; I got 31.42 and 33.44 MPG respectively.

I usually get between 31-34 MPG with a mix of 60% Highway and 40% City driving. I have a Fit Sport Automatic and I drive fairly conservatively never going over 65MPH and never going above 3K RPM.

Hope that helps you make your decision, the intake is awesome! You won't regret getting it if you do .

 

Is the intake still 240 shipped? If so I might sport this
sucka

 

I honestly can tell you my MPG got worse!

I love revving the engine and driving hard just to hear the intake.

I'll try for some disciplined, max gas mileage driving starting on Monday but man it's going to be tough when the car sounds so good.

 

Anyone plan on doing an independent dyno test?

 

mrmarried, thanks for the reply and the great info.

Wave, hummm is it safe to assume that your drop in MPG is NOT due to the install of the SSi? But, rather simply due to you revving to higher RPM shift points? ... also, do you have an aftermarket exhaust? I'm thinking the Medallion touring would be a good "mate" for this intake.

as others have asked is the 240 total price still in effect? and if so how much longer will it be? as my "better half " will be more willing to accept the expense after the first of the month.

 

Will this fit JDMs?

 

Yup, thats right. I'll get around to more disciplined driving eventually.

Currently I have a Fujitsubo PowerGetter cat back and Megan Racing header, but I'll be switching over to a J's Racing Header whenever "gettinafit" can help me out with that and a J's Racing cat-back whenever it arrives at AJ-Racing from Japan. (HUGE DENT$$$$$$$$$ IN MY WALLET!)

I believe H-Fit mentioned that they were coming out with their own brand of catback soon. Might want to ask them for updates on that.

 

Hi All,

Been a little busy lately so sorry for not replying any sooner.

As for the air temperature readings and how we achieved the lower temperature than the stock intake,

We used 3 methods. I will not go too in depth because some of the research and data is proprietary.

Anyways.

1. We cleared the shrouding that surrrounded the intake air temperature
sensor. This allows the sensor to react faster to temperature changes
and thus allows the ECU to recalibrate to changing conditions faster.
This really isn't a change that physically makes the air cooler, but it
has some connection.

2. We increased the overall air velocity / movement through the
chamber / intake. The stock intake has many chambers and baffles
built in to reduce noise. These allow for a physically larger internal
volume within the stock intake, but also reduces the movement of air
within. Also, internal to the stock intake there are many areas where
air can get "trapped" and end up swirling around in the intake allowing
the air charge more time to absorb heat from the surrounding
enviroment.

3. We employed thermodynamics and gas principals. We used the fact
that when gasses expand they cool (endothermic). We designed the
SSI so that when air flowed into the chamber it had an area which
promoted the expansion of the incoming charge prior to going into the
throttle body. This was a little difficult because we had to take into
account the airspeed within the intake so we would not absorb more
heat than the expansion would remove. If this happened it would be
no better than the stock intake in this regard.

Hope this info is helpful,
