5. Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake Price: $239
Weapon*R Racing Development



The Secret Weapon Intake was designed, to increase air intake volume to the engine. The concept is to create two different air velocity profiles, one traveling at higher speeds than the other. This technology increases air volume and speed to the engine, which naturally feeds the engine 3x more air than the conventional air intake system. The intake pipe is bent out of high quality 6061 Aluminum on our Automated CNC mandrel bender. Polished to a high show quality finish. The SW1 Air filter features a tuned velocity stack to increase velocity and decrease turbulence. Only Comes In Polished. 1 Million Mile Limited Warranty Open pore high density re-usable foam Over 250 applications for Car’s / Trucks / SUV’s

6. Top Fuel SRI with cf power chamber that is supposed to compress the air to increase hp.

2. Injen-$255


Future stuff supposedly coming out:
1. KingMotorsports Type R-$790 or higher. Supposed to be working with Samco as well as address issue of MAF sensor. From KingMotorsports:1.3.2008 UPDATE: Mugen Air Box for 2006+ Civic Si
We have completed initial test fitting of the Mugen airbox on the 06+ Civic Si. We have found while the airbox physically fits the USDM Si perfectly, the ID of the USDM intake hoses are slightly too small to fit the Mugen airbox. We are working with Samco to produce a correctly sized intake tube that will also have a provision for the USDM mass air flow sensor. More updates to follow.



2. Password JDM-Probably $500-$600 Will require a battery relocation [Zeuceone says that it is not coming out, although I haven't read that myself-status pending]
Password JDM Carbon Fiber and Carbon Kevlar Power Chamber: 06+ Civic Si

3. AEM-Price about $260 Uses dry filter and seems to have tried to address the vanes in the MAF housing.

New AEM design???



From Mattelis and his thread:


Carbon fiber/exotic intakes:

1. M&M/T1R-M&M price-$429 Will require the inlet tube to be modified to accept a MAF sensor/housing

4. Post from redviking about Jay's Racing Intake for FD2:

It has the same "problem" as the GruppeM, there is no location for our MAF! But it is easy to fix (I think).



But What I like, is that it is similar to the OEM box but with a cone filter inside. It is getting fresh air from the front grill where the OEM resonator is sitting. So it is very similar to NitrousG35 and 200HP_EP setup! (and my future setup!!!)

PLUS: (from what I undersand), the top cover is design to capture drawing some fresh air from the top front grill...

Here some pics of the installed intake:

Final product:




12. 200HP EP and his homemade T1R airbox with Amsoil cone filter and soon to be added M&M scoop"
My T1R air conduct box version with X intake
So I decide to made it because of heat soak problem.
I used:
-original X intake
-CRV tube
-amsoil filter (same as NitrousG35)
-SI intake box with the cover rebuilt by me
-OEM gasket to perfectly seal cover and base together. I cut the little lip all around the OEM filter and used it with the gasket.





Now I'm waiting for the M&M scoop... and this is my temporary version



13. Kenua6 and his ducting from the lower bumper to the base of the airbox, ushering in cooler air to the intake: Moved rear spoiler, Home made ice box,Led plate light~

Just did some little thing over the weekend, I already did the KN drop removed resonator and 6k HID few week ago, but I think the that intake sucking the hot air is not good so I go ahead and did custom piping for the intake, and also I moved the rear spoiler move rear cause I dont like the rear spoiler when I first got the Si but now I love the spoiler alot more.

finish all the typing please enjoy the picture guy!!

15. Civic93 and his beautifully constructed airbox cover, T1R type scoop, mock ups, prototype and molds. Definitely the most sophisticated system to date for the DIY'ers:

Soxfan143 MAF housing: Mike is the only person I know of who is making modified MAF housings to work with a race header and cat-back. Mike has designed the housing with thinner vanes and a secret angle of attack. His dyno runs show about 10 hp more over stock. I have it on my car and it definitely works. His housing is the key to something like Gruppe M and M&M/T1R
Modification made to X intake for more power



From Soxfan143:
This is the dyno run. The peak power only went up about 5whp but look at the Vtec crossover. Just before and at the crossover is almost a 10whp gain and a 10wtq gain. That's in 3rd gear don't forget. I probably would have hit 200whp in the proper gear.

I need everyone to let me know if I have forgotten any system, so that I can add it to the list.

Also, I would like your comments pro and con about each system that has been discussed. For those of you who have one of the above mentioned, could you also tell me what to add under the system, so that others can benefit from this. Hope you enjoy the thread. It was a real "mother" to do.

[VQ Power]

Yeah for "Mother" threads!

[drfters13]

do you get paid for everything you do here? lol nice work

[mike07si]

Thanks for putting this together NitrousG35.

I wonder if you might add this DIY to the cold air section. It's GeezerSi's article talking about cutting out the foglight for additional air. This is a nice option for the FG2's running CAI's.

^ Done. Thanks.

[iluvmycsx]

great info like always

[mike_si_29]

Awesome work Bill, couldn't been done better. It should be a sticky for sure... very cool.

[ASM_FA5]

nice thread!

[infiniti_4_life]

I have a question about the GruppeM Intake. How would you drive the car in the rain? Wouldn't water get in through the cowl? I also think that if you paired up this intake with: Headers, Bigger Throttle body, CR-V tube, spacer and a Reflash then gains will be 15+. Adding an intake alone to a car will not make mad power, but working with other parts, it can become a nice combo.

Read again Zeuce. I put that in the category of future possibilities.

[Zeuceone]

the power chamber design was scrapped. so thats not going to come out.

[CanyonDriver]

i feel so special having my name mentioned in the intake list I took it off though and went back to a stock air box because i was worried about my AFR's. When I have some money i'll do a before and after AFR dyno sesh just to put the info up on here.
