Sick stuff under those bonnets, loving the K series!

 

Hey man, I hear these intakes have some sort of vortex action going on in them...do they provide more HP than a regular short ram intake-if so, is it on the high end or the low in?

 

A&J racing actually dynoed that intake paired with the t1r 50s and it made i wanna say 10hp and i don't remember the torque number.

 

Am I smell'n a new ram air intake Vinny??? Uhmm, Uhmm 10 more HP
and ya know we can actually feel that in our lil 1.5's lol.

 

WOW!, Big Mike-you have a hell'ava nose man!!! Jus' not to sure on the brand yet.

 

Hey I resemble that!
And my what Good Eyesight you have Vinny Ya know me 45.00 to the door Ebay

Any other engines out here?

 

 

very nice engine bay

 

 

kapow!!!

 

Those sleeves are put there primarily to sop up any excess fluid that might leak or trickle out of the reservoirs. You'll never have this happening in daily driving, but it can be a concern if you take your car out to the track for races, autocross or time attacks.

This is important for brake fluid in particular, as brake fluid is harmful to paint - hobbyist model makers even use it as a cheap (but dangerous/toxic) paint stripping agent.

Of course some people put reservoir socks just to look cool, too.

 

Why is the GE engine bay so ugly compared to the GD? I think it's all that space in front of the engine, but the least they could have done is throw a cover on there to make it look a bit nicer. I'm sure the weight being transfered aft of the previous configuration is helpful, but still. I kinda wanna dress it up in there, but it's not a good starting point IMO. I guess my euro car roots are showing.

 

GEs are never blessed with sexy looking engine bay... Not a great canvas such as that of the GDs

 

This is a K-series engine cover someone put on their Fit that I found a while back from Japan. It doesn't fit, but it does show that things could look a little nicer, more easily, if there were some sort of cover available (like the carbon one for the GDs.) At a takeda or weapon R cold air, a few splashes of color and it's off to a decent start.

 

Any one got a new mod under the hood Santa dropped off?

 

That just reminded me of Jcrims beastly 1.5 k24 lol.

 

WOW that's a GE8! Looks Sooo Much Better.
Hey Honda Add a 15.00 engine cover to the GE's

Now it looks like an engine
