My J's Racing Intake Installation...


Here are some pics that I took with my phone lately, I'm suprised it came out pretty good... I don't know how I did that though...:shocked::shocked:

Notice that I have 2 pod filter shields installed and 1 of them I modified to shield across the side, which is held inplace with the pod filter collar.

Don't forget I have the cold air pipe duct running into the pod filter with the shields helping to keep the airflow drawing from the pipe which runs down to the front of my bumper. This shield and setup is temporary...

Since I have just installed a Power FC, it monitors everything thats going on with my engine, it even monitors the air temp, water temp etc... so I'm going to modify the intake to extend a hose from J's tip and run it down where my cold air pipe feed comes up, and put the pod filter behind my bumper like the MUGEN and AEM intake except sitting much higher where the hole is. This I'm sure will give better air temps then the current shields. But I just wonder how it'd affect the power delivery...hmmm...

Anyway, I'm not sure where abouts does the Power FC gets its AIR temp readings from, but I have an idea that it might be the air sensor thats connected onto the 3rd intake manifold pipe.

I've got the results with the current setup and will release the figures once I've tested the new setup and see if theres much difference in air temps and power delivery.

hope everyone can enjoy... :nice:

Hey Jugbugz. I found this pic on one of the importer sites over here. Kind of a good idea for the J's intake. What dyou think?. Sorry the pic qualities pretty crap

Thats BINGO!!!:bow::woot:

Man, do you know which company makes that? It's very good actually and people who live in wet countries wouldn't have to worry about getting their intake dipped under water...:woot: However, if you take that design and have it made out of Carbon Fibre then that would have to be the best setup with J's intake! No heatsoak and more sound :D hmmm, it looks custom made...

Anybody knows what brand that shield is?
 
one of my mechs said it'll cost around $200AUD to get that section properly fabricated to seal off that area. hmm a bit pricy though...
 
So how does the J's compare to teh Mugen intake?? i'm currently thinking of both of them and don't know which one to go for!

I think if you just want some basic bolt on performance then Mugen will do, J's will need more modifications to duct cold air. However, theres not much difference with Mugen intake vs Stock intake + 'U-bend tube cut off mod' with a knife beside the Mugen having a velocity stack whcih would yeld slightly more response vs stock + mods.

Me and RVM have done the stock intake mod and was very happy with it. So unless you want to spend a lot of $$$$ for a mugen intake, just mod your stock intake. But if your more on the bling side get mugen or J's. The reason why I'm using J's is because I like to experiment and make something good better. Hope this helps you from splashing your $$$ on something that you want.
 
Ok, I've got some very INTERESTING discoveries with the stock intake vs MUGEN intake.

I remembered that the stock intake already has a velocity stack right after the air bypasses the filter. geez i wonder how many people noticed this?

In terms of physics having a velocity stack before the Throttle body will yeld more results than having one before the air filter which will break the flow of air if you know what I mean...

MUGEN intake is setup with the velocity stack on the intake tip so air sucks in quite well but from there it needs to bypass the air filter which would have disrupted the flow already then into the Throttle body.

The STOCK intake however, has the velocity stack right after the filter and before the throttle body, but theres only 1 flaw on the Stock intake and thats the ducting of hotter air, however this can be retified with a knife, isn't that right RVM? :nice:

So if you think about it now, HONDA themselves have already created a very very good intake setup, and the only reason why they chose to have the U-bend pipe ducting hotter air in engine bay is because of wet countries that have flooding etc etc. I guess HONDA already made the best performance intake and thats why I guess SPOON doesn't make their own intake. :woot: Hows this blinx?

Hehehe thats correct! I totally agree :woot:
 
Useless ek9 stock air box stuff:

Would you not got a spoon direct air flow pipe instead of the plastic pipe you have put in?
 
Interesting stuff there jugbugs. Could you please post up some pics with your explanation?. I think I'm on the right track, but don't fully understand.

@ RVM - have you got any pics of a guide to how you modded your stock intake. Also do you find this setup to be better than a short ram and cai?

Thanks

hmmm, I could but will have to find the time to get the pics unless RVM has some pics in handy... if you want to do the mod to your stock intake then checkout the thread 'My cold air intake #2'

Anyway, if you install a replacement filter on your stock intake and do the CAI mod to your stock intake, you'll probally find that it'll work as good or better than the MUGEN intake. MUGEN intake comparisons with stock intake is like comparing the stock filter with an aftermarket replacement filter.

In my opinion yes, this setup is less restrictive, I was able to keep up with modded ITRs with this mod + other mods without touching motor internals :woot:
