Is that the same as the ECU "safe mode"? If so, wouldn't that disengage VTEC? I know when my '99 D16y8 went into safe mode, VTEC was disabled.

so maybe the intake is better by itself and with less mods in mind?

vtec is still activated, but the ECU will run in that if the AFR's are to high or uneven.

his uncorrected # is going to be 10whp more than his SAE corrected #. guaranteed.

not when you dyno in 100+ degree weather.

i was thinking exactly the same thing, but only for peak hp. i may make one more trip to the dyno.

there was also another car there today with X's intake. he bought it from X. he dynoed 197. his other affecting mods were vibrant rh w/hfc and vibrant cat back. so you tell me....

***"Ridge"Racer*** · 01-20-2008, 07:12 PM

ok, now i gotta get a dyno after i make this thing. i sold my exhaust so i will be dynoing with just the intake, we will see what its capable of with no other mods. i will post pics to show that my maf housing will be identical to x's design, but if you just do the math, the xintake is superior to other intakes, so it must make more power, jmo from mathematical point of view.
