Race inspired, I modified the intake box for way better flow while retaining the response. I cut away ALL the resonators and the elbow. I replaced it with a 3" elbow from the TB to the box and plastic welded the box back together. I insulated the box with Gold insulating/reflecting foil, to keep the intake charge cool. I added a mugen Filter for better flow. I also am running ducting from the OEM location to the front bumper. More pics will be up when that is up. The is definitely a difference on the butt dyno and very happy with the results.

 

its always nice to see people using their imagination instead of their wallets. im not to sure about the visual appeal but i have always been a fan of modding the stock air box.

any noticeable difference in power and sound?

 

got pictures of the duct setup?

 

both for sure.... ill have more pictures soon

 

i like stock airboxes and ARC airboxes too. did you cut open the bottom?

 

I doubt it since he's trying to keep heat out of the box?

 

I like the gold foil.
Where did you get it and how much?

 

How long did this take to mod. Also where did you get the 3 inch diameter elbow from and the foil. That is creative. Hopefully it works well for you!

 

I love it Mike very creative, i've been wanting to do something similar with my J's grill to the oem box, kind of like the S2000's

 

Wow... would've never thought of that. Nice!

 

SoHondaGarage FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The elbow i got from my local autoparts store, pretty generic. The gold foil i got from pegasus racing. And it took awhile to do and wouldnt suggest it for the inexperienced with cars and fabrication.

 

You inspired me to try something like this. Very good work. You definetly notice a difference in throttle response and power?

 

looks like a good idea. Do you have more any detailed pictures of the whole process. I'm a little scared about just starting to hack away without knowing what parts to cut.

 

nicely done. i'm actually have a stock airbox project going also.

do you have the breather hose routing to the intake or do you have a breather filter on the end?

 

i did a similar thing with my EG and picked up 4hp and 8ft/lbs of torque using a k&n filter though... time to start playing with the fit. Since i haven't seen a complete pic of your intake setup, i'd put a filter on the blow by hose going to intake pipe if u haven't, I keeps oil out of the throttle body keep it cleaner and introduces less gunk into your system.

 

bump for a write-up/DIY

 

I will have full write up on my site when i have time, shortly though. And also I really wouldnt try this unless you have fabrication skills and mechanical knowledge, its not for a beginner. Ill have better pictures up as well

 

The honda engineers knew what they were doing with the intake, they just had to make it quite(restrictions). And if you think about it spoon uses the stock airbox too.

 

Hey, bringin this back from the dead lol. Do you have that write-up yet? I'm interested in doing this to my airbox. Good stuff man.
