Lets be honest, we spend that money just to hear the turbo spool cause thats the cool part.

What's even funnier is all those manufacturer s claiming HP/TQ gains over stock... Lol

Honda is just to dang good

Thanks for the tests u guys rock

Good job hondata. Real testing with transparency!

Everybody should know that many CTR owners switch to aftermarket intakes for the sound/looks.

Great Video this is going to save a lot of money for people 👍

Thank you. Great video

This blew my mind. Also thought about the splitfire performance video with that fuzzy fk8 fellow.

Saved a lot of money by watching this!

Why didn't you guys do this like two years ago??? I still appreciate it. Curious as to whether intake with a tune would make any significant difference? Probably not.

Ain't gana Lie! But always love the AEM Suction. Sounds Beast!

So just get a K&N drop in filter in the stock intake box and call it a day basically

really keen on finding out results on the eventuri as i was hoping to see that in this video. its over $2500 AUD and having an idea on its performance as well as noise would be great before dropping that coin

I would like to see a video like this but with exhaust next.. stock axle back exhaust, vs aftermarket...

Just saved plenty of bucks!!

You should test the PRL silicone pipe with a drop in K&N filter. Cheapest next to stock and from other test videos appears to be a great option.

I love it

Should try the k&n drop in filter,that's what I went with,had the injen and noticed it only it 14 to 16lbs of boost so I went back to stock with the drop in filter

Would've been nice to compare the PRL stage one intake tube/filter...

what would be the best intake for the 10th gen accord?

I've been seeing a huge trend with the type R of stock parts outperforming many aftermarket parts with people who own them stating that they would have been better off leaving certain things alone. Obviously there are some things that can make considerable gains if replaced but not the case with many of the traditional bolt-ons. Quite a testament to the engineering that Honda put into this car. I guess if they went as far as to make it look like a turbo twinkie they must have had good reasons for their design decisions.

What about PRL?

Have you any Boost options for FN1 🙄? Thanks

Id like to see these same tests done on an fk8 that has more than just an intake, and see how well the stock intake handles the added upgrades, compared to others. People in the comments acting like the stock intake gives lile 100 extra horsepower lol.

Hondata you need to do a new intake video. You need to test, eventuri, HKS, PRL

wonder how the carbon box type ones would do. (ex. eventuri or gruppem)

So stay on stock intake, with easy throw away filter, no need wash and wait for dry..but those want sweet intake sound, can go for aftermarket intake

Aftermarket intakes get hot as fuck. But you can wrap them with heatshield to keep radiant heat away and keep them as cool as possible

Best upgrade intercooler made by prl.. and hondata extra boost mods with e30 mix tune. Disable rev hang , improved throttle. Call it a day New boost mod is incredible 400 plus hp and tq.

Please do this for the accord!

wow!

Do this test for aftermarket intercoolers

Glad I didn't buy an intake yet! Altho I did get a K&N drop in filter. I wonder how would do?

There's no power gain because it's still on base map, right? The stock intake is best because the ecu is tuned with that specific intake from factory, no? How about a re-tune for the aftermarket intakes? Just curious 😞

I think we’re forgetting to test gain after a tune with each intake? Testing with a stock tune is more likely going to lose power. Also would be good to compare with the stock intake with a tune. Not to mention PRL and eventuri not being included in this test.

Can you do this same test but with exhausts

This is just a heat soak test ...The most open intake ( AEM) does the worst and the most closed (after stock) is the Mishimoto which is second after stock.A good sealed up intake like eventuri ,prl high volume will have better results.But those are left out of the test offcourse.

Yeah, what about PRL?

What a great video , all these companys trying to rip us off with after market air filters and asking prices of £500 + , glad i didnt buy 1 !

Are these all tuned runs or just baselines for all the intakes?

Do intake temps really matter with a turbo engine? When the air hits the compressor its going to heat up anyway. If you want cooler air to the intake manifold, invest in a better intercooler. If I'm wrong, please enlighten me.

But keep in mind guys!!! Cold air intake can be really good if the car is from 2009 and down!

What about just hks blow off valve just for the sound

Where is the eventuri

I use the stock intake with a k&n drop in filter since day 1.

Do e85 kit for 2019 RDX

Just buy a carbon fiber stick and put heat shield film underneath the c.f sticker) it works

Great, now you tell me! 🤦‍♂️ 😒 ........ (should have listened to Scotty Kilmer when he said don't buy aftermarket intakes). Thanks for the great content and keeping us well informed. Take care (R-25210).

What was the ambient temp outside? Just wondering.

Can you test Eventuri and GruppeM? Great info video btw

Eventuri vs GruppeM vs HKS would be awesome

Okay, I'm mad now. You did not test the Eventuri in this video. Stock #1 How is this possible? What's so unique about the stock design that I would want to go back and refit it? I really need to know. MAF sensor position?

Finally, a video that shows side-by-side comparison of different intakes. Thank you good sir!!

Point of contention: You're running the car on a dyno with the car stationary which means you're sucking in static air that's sitting around the engine bay. In a real world application the car is moving with air traveling into the air box at the speed of the vehicle. If an aftermarket air intake system allows a greater volume of air to be enter the air box, then the average temperature of the air is going to be cooler than the restricted amount of air the OEM air box will allow in during the real world movement of the car

Eventuri???

They didn't do eventuri or PRL because they would have been better. These other ones have shit heat shielding.

Wow

The stock one

Just like there catback exhaust system flows perfect so shit just down pipe and tune and ur all set

well this is with stock tune so isn't really taking advantage of the intake right?

well tunn is the only way to maximum horse power

I knew it. This car's design is really a masterpiece by Honda. That's why I never purchased an aftermarket intake for my type R; I could care less about the sound.

Almost cars oem intake doing good job with panel filter...no need for after market intakes

I have prl cai with race maf on my 17 si, best intake imo

To be expected, for under the hood intakes. If you note where the filter sits on each and every intake in the video, clearly that when the filter is located lower in the Engine bay, that intake wins... Injen had the lowest placed filter, which means it beat all the other aftermarket intakes, then the Mishimoto had the next lowest filter winning second, so on and so forth. OBVIOUSLY, the stock intake did best because when it comes to making an intake that is located under the hood, the OEM has the best research and development to make the best intake. Therefore, their filter was placed low, it was placed with the best seal from heat coming in, the best seal for having air feed to it from the bumper/grill area, and had the correct piping diameter. No brainer. As for the PRL CTR Fk8 intake, I expect to see the same results as the Takeda, since their filter is up high. Even in PRLs tests, they show that at about 4k-4.5k there was a possible difference than stock (during their hottest runs, which matter most). As for the Eventuri intake, I see it to be closest to the Mishimoto intake, because the filter is pointed down, not just up high like the PRL and Takeda. Mishimoto likely coming out on top compared to the Eventuri, and Injen still the best for the aftermarket intakes. Now, we wait for a Cold Air Intake test. Clearly, just as "Doug" stated, cold air is best. Cold Air intakes have the filter placed outside of the engine bay, away from the heat, and ALWAYS win when it comes to making power, because they get COLD (aka not under hood) air. They should rename this test, the Short Ram Intake test.

Better test would be actual data ogs at speed with fresh air coming in on the road Since the Type R uses aircharge targets it will compensate by varying the turbo speed to speed up or slow down to meet aircharge targets. While power will be similar, youll see which intake uses less boost/less speed to hit aircharge target. Plus - once you tune the R for more power - the volume/velocity of the intake becomes more important than at stock power levels. Stock intake will be too small/restriction for 400+whp setups Show the logs

its hard to negate the raw numbers, but still. No Eventuri airbox used sadly. Also no comment in how the intakes would perform in a tune. This is all on stock tune.

Why not include PRL in the test as well?

27 WON? Kinda like a hybrid CAI

Results at 2:00

That exactly why I replaced my stock panel filter with a dry AEM one. I’m all go not show! Any gains with the higher flowing cai are negated by the price to gain ratio.

3 fans like that can never simulate the actual airflow experienced on the open road at 120 mph at the top of fifth gear (I dont even really know the top speed of the 1 to 1 gear and im not even sure what gear 1 to 1 it is). Even factoring in the under draft of a moving car sucking away hot air from the exhaust, and who knows hot having a fully heated radiator near a static intercooler and exhaust turbine housing gets. Yet again, an intake like this only takes advantage of cold air if there is cold air available to be taken advantage of. It doesn't make cold air... Im sure if you took readings from the IAT sensor while driving the IATs would be much lower than 120F.

Cold air intake on the RSX Type S was 15+ HP increase and I-RH-2.5”E with Hondata tune was worth 45 HP

I feel this is stupid considering once you change the intake the maf scaling is off and the fuel trims tend to be in the -10-15 range

So people if you buy any of these returns are accepted lol.

I’m getting tired of them saying when you installed this or that aftermarket intake system you will gain +5-10HP, well, see, nature has it’s own laws and rules on whatever things you invent in engineering way.

You forgot to use the eventuri intake

almost spent 1.5K on a power loss.

Hello hondata. What about eventuri?

Do the accord 2.0

K&N Intake for sale for 2.0 Accord, LOL.

1:15 Lifetime warranty... for a box

The best intake is Eventury.

I freaking knew it!!!! sucks to whoever sees this video and has one of those after market intakes in their R. PRL just released a bad ass one, wanted to see that one and the Eventuri one.

Personally, I would love to see someone with Mishimoto comment about these results. They themselves have several videos showing consistent gains (without a tune) over a test period of something like 6k miles. I understand sales and marketing, but if this Hon”data” is true, then their data is a flat out lie.

Eventuri is the best.

HA!

Eventuri carbon is best for honda check KZfaq and website....

Stock is always best

if all a shitty tune does is raise parameters, you’ll see the gains. But doesn’t mean an aftermarket intake was needed. In our s550 coyote engines, a tuner name Alejandro proved that the stock air box out performs over big name manufacturers. I’ll trust the graphs over these companies trying to sell you some fancy looking engine dress up.

THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T PUT A COLD AIR OR SHORT RAM INTAKE IN YOUR CAR NO PERFORMANCE GAIN.THE FACTORY AIR BOX IS GOOD BECAUSE PUTTING A COLD AIR INTAKE OR SHORT RAM CONFUSES THE COMPUTER ECU AND SENSOR ON YOUR VEHICLE AND AIR FUEL RATIO MAF SENSOR

I dont have a fk8 but i belive in intakes..i saw this test before hondata did theirs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eceCZc-mqNCpoKM.html

It’s a bunch of bull crap! Then they say that all you need is their tune lol Everyone knows intake and exhaust increase hp and torque!

Has anyone tried water/meth injection?

Man a whole lot of people wasted money on those intake “upgrades” 😂

Poor hype-noobs bought hundreds of dollars of useless "tech" only to fall behind the 100% stock setup they already bought.😅😅 So glad I didn't buy into the hype. Stayed stock with K&N drop in ftw. Got almost all the sound with the performance of the OEM box, and no loss. Works great with my Hondata/Ktuner flash too.✊ #NoRagrets

This blew my mind. Also thought about the splitfire performance video with that fuzzy fk8 fellow.
