Need advice about my reflash, and intake!!

UltraSi · 06-29-2008, 08:29 PM

ok my current mods are P2R TBS+2 TBG, megan mid-pipe, stock airbox, and hondata reflash. after getting the reflash i seem to be having a slight loss in power when vtec engages untill about 6500 rps...is this due to the stock intake? and will i benefit from a CAI??? thanks!

yes your supposed to have at least an intake/header or else you will lose power before vtec

did you even bother doing research on the reflash before getting it done?!?

it just states an intake on their website. not specifically a cai, i got a K&n sri and it works fine with my reflash on my 08

it will work with either an intake or a header, but it works better when both are present on the car... If you have neither you will suffer a power loss.

yeah, i have i/rh/e + reflash. it's a pretty nice setup

Get a intake or a Race header. Or better even both. The TBS is not enough to help your car breath better.

Does anyone know if the Homemade Ice box and test pipe will work with the Reflash?

=/

always look into the requirments of products you buy! Without the right mods the reflash wont do anything

^^^ From what I've learned, the Poor man's intake is good for throttle response and driveability more then an increase in air flow even when paired with a K&N filter. It will work, but for best results a aftermarket intake of some sort is recomended.

Have you done the reflash with the diy icebox style intake? I can't see it being free flowing enough for what they're saying. There is still so many disruptions in the flow of air w/ the stock materials. I would just go with aftermarket.

yes...i did the diy ice box before i got the reflash but it doesnt feel like its doing all that great

UltraSi · 06-30-2008, 04:28 PM

thank you to those who responded with the answer to my question or some advice and not a comment about if i know what im buying before i buy it...i just ordered an Injen CAI but wanted too see how the stock airbox would work with the reflash and DIY icebox and to get some opinions from fellow members...

So would you recommend getting the reflash with the homemade intake or buying a real CAI? I also have the P2R IMG, P2R TBS, 2 P2R TBGs, and a Megan Racing Mid Pipe and Test Pipe.

You made the correct decision. Enjoy.
