Installed Injen HAI, with dyno results!

[06redsi]

Basically the new injen MR intake is a pile of ass. i ordered the CAI and recived the short one instead, i decided to give it a try because i really didnt like how the CAI version had a 90 degree bend right before the TB. Plus the MR version looks so much nicer and from what research ive done on CAI vs Regular was that they had similar dyno results. Well even with all my current mods , DCRH, Hondata reflash, 3" exhaust, hondata IMG This new Injen intake only made a whopping 4whp and 3wtq over the stock airbox .It looks nice but the rubber elbow doesnt fit right, and its doesnt make any power. Its sucks ass dont buy it

[06CivEXJon]

HAI? Hot Air intake? correct right?

[VtecTypeR]

return it and get the CAI. K series is known to respond much better to any CAI.

I think you got what any short ram intake gets on the market for a 4 cyl Honda motor. 4HP is par for the course - might I even say, not that bad for a short ram intake. better than a power loss

[BLU BY U]

your dissapointed? you should be happy you gained that. you wont see a huge gain on a CAI either. Everyone seems to think intakes add 15hp, nope. Go spend more money on a CAI for an extra 1-2 HP....then you'll be really happy.

As for the elbow.......you need to fandangle it a little. Ive done 2 injen SRI installs.......both went perfectly.

4hp ontop of DCRH, reflash and exhaust? That's pretty good my friend. Advertised gains are off Stock setups. You have to remember when you add mods together you can't just start adding up the advertised whp gains and think your going to get magiaclly 30whp.

Look for things such as, does the car drive better in certain RPM ranges. Does it climb RPM's faster. 4 whp may not be much, but Intakes aren't meant for huge gains unless the factory set up is ridiculously restrictive. Remember that the Si tuned from the factory is pretty f'n good. The mods you have done have essentially moved your power band down and get your RPM's moving quicker. Now adding a intake to your set up is probably not gonna be something you'll notice. Simply because a) 4whp your not gonna notice and b) you already have the reflash which essentially plays that into the mix.

Now you have a I/H/E reflash. Outside of other N/A mods, that's the best its gonna get. (TB, IM, Heads, etc...) This just goes to show how well the car was tuned from the factory and the engineering that goes into the car.

IF you bought just an intake over stock, you would notice small, but subtle gains in driving and drivability. I don't have one complaint over mine. The install is a bit of a PITA, but its doable. In the end if your really unhappy with it, sell it and go back stock. However, your air flow is certainly traveling a much shorter route to the engine and isn't any hotter than stock. The whole point of the SRI.

The point of SRI is to add higher air flow (MORE) so that it'll preform better.

I wouldn't be disapointed that the intake only added 4hp; however I would be disapointed that you are only making 204whp with i/e/h/img/reflash

[sickyute]

LOL....
anyone missed that he went from AEM CAI to injen SRI and make more power?
i'd be happy.
that being said....injen cai will give u even more gains.

he stated pretty clearly the Injen "HAI" gained 4WHP over the stock airbox.

[sickyute]

the first dyno was with an AEM CAI, DCRH, E, IMG, REFLASH(look at his curve)....
the dyno with the HAI(hot air intake)=SRI was him removing the AEM CAI for the SRI(he ordered an injen cai and received the wrong part)...he still gained from the SRI which is very rare...goes to show how shitty the aem is...

gained all throught the rpm range for that matter!!! 4hp up top...but it looks like 6 @ about 7200rpm....gains all through....i would imagine that the injen CAI would give even more through the whole range and probably up top.

[RedSIinPA]

ugh.

he says:

"Well even with all my current mods , DCRH, Hondata reflash, 3" exhaust, hondata IMG This new Injen intake only made a whopping 4whp and 3wtq over the stock airbox"

where do you see AEM CAI

why?? their was an 04 rsxs on the dyno before me with strup header, catless exhaust, k-pro, img and CAI his best run was 201whp and 145wtq. and a stock 05 rsxs made 178whp on this same dyno.
why is my 205whp bad?????

[larryd]

Because Hondata made 215whp with basically the same mods. Each dyno is different though so take the numbers for whatever you want, they dont mean jack.

thats because it was on a stupid hub dyno. or dynapack dyno. they read high as hell.

[ctx2000]

maybe........because the 3'' exhaust.
too big for 4 banger without turbo.

[sickyute]

^^^ that is right. "could" just be that.
hondata doesn't use a hub dyno....dynapack dyno = yes.

And with the set up he was already running, an intake would make only minimal gains. nothing to get confused about. Injen's advertised gains are adding an intake over a completely stock setup. Not just stock air box.

i just installed an injen sri and maybe it does only give 4whp but it makes the car so much more responsive which seems like something alot of people arent taking into consideration.

I realize that. I was trying to convince sickyute that the Injen was not achieving 4 hp over an AEM CAI.
