Great video next time you should close the hood when you’re testing the intakes because of real world driving usually short rams, lose horsepower from all the heat it’s soaking up in the engine bay.cold air intakes gain torque down low but lose horsepower up top and closed air intakes like the factory one are usually the best
@@hardtailrider7172 like I said in a post at the pagans to some comments here it’s been well known , at above 40km/h because our bumper grill is right where high pressure is, it quickly gets the engine bay temp “close” to ambient temp… On the dyno it’s a stand still so to replicate a closed hood dyno run in the real world? People should tape up closed the bumper grill to simulate the dyno at “ Stand still “ since it’s commonly said… We are working on a video talking about ambient temp and engine bay temp At stand still and at “rolling” to show temp ranges Just need a bit of time had to order digital temp gauges that could work for our test 😎 who knows… it might be a mythbuster Just like “SRI gives more top end vs CAI” 😎 ordered the sensors btw so just waiting on shipping
You should always try to run the stock CTR or if you have the ITR intake also, you can look up how to modify the stock intake because it's very similar to a cold air what's it pulling the air from the lower half of the car. Also, I believe if you tune your car to accept the aftermarket cold air intake you should get better results On my b20b with p8r I'm currently sending that 220 but I run the hks pod filter because it has a built-in velocity stack with a ram air tube set up from The lower half of the car to my pod which is segregated with the heat shield Always like your videos. Good job❤
awesome video and test, in my experience, i lost overall hp with my Civic when i had a short ram intake on it, it lost low end but felt better at top end. Here in the US we have CX/DX/LX with D16Y7 that use the "up draft" throttle body. So maybe that had a factor.

Dyno results dont really translate to real world running conditions because when you drive the car the hood will be closed and now the hot engine air will be sucked into the engine with the ram intake and it will loose power but with the stock airbox this wont happen. I believe the stock airbox is the best if you modify it and remove the resonator chamber like Spoon does. There is a reason why Spoon cars use the stock airbox and their cars perform really well with reliability and consistency. You wont get reliability and consistency wit the ram intake.
yep and real world running conditions have airflow into the bumper grill unless it’s driven with the bumper grill taped off true it’s rare to find a cone type filter with as good filtration as a panel filter
Here’s a more detailed test we did on engine bay temp hood closed parked vs driving “real world” with three different car and set up

@@e.3-0_m3 interesting as around 2008 we tested with outside air temp in the engine bay and outside and anything over 40km/h cruising and it equalizes but yes at stand still it gets hot indeed
and that’s a fair assessment you’ve had so that’s def cool for sure and thanks for that info man 😎
on the dyno bonnet down is much the same as driving around but tape your bumper grill closed up so no airflow is entering
@@SRDmotorsports now I done that on a bmw so maybe on honda it might be different because I always run long ram cold air intake on my Honda's
@@e.3-0_m3 well either way that’s another “test” worth doing in the future man! Thank you for the idea to re do old tests
I mean I did it 2008 didn’t have TH-cam then just my shop and a iphone4 hahaha
@@SRDmotorsports 100% would like to see your test on that 👍
Good content kuya!
@@joshuacavins3567yes sir! Glad u like this kase all of the intakes are easily available, atleast free results now before spending…’para mas sure haha
is the box/ecu tuned ? for that test or is it still stock basemap ?
@@rorenstv9051 stock ecu on all 3 runs to be fair
So more gains could be had if re tuned on cold air intake or SRI
Was this a a chipped ecu or stock??
bone stock ecu no tuning done just bolt on
With my age, i like the stock air box. 😊
@@urvanairhorn makes sense!! It’s why I always keep an eg6 airbox too
AEM hump FTW! 🍻
@@findtherightbeat maaaaan it’s what I call it! AEM hump! As coined back in HT days refreshing to hear it again!
The test should be with a full 2.5 exhaust with the whale penis and the cold air intake...
Dyno results dont really translate to real world running conditions because when you drive the car the hood will be closed and now the hot engine air will be sucked into the engine with the ram intake and it will loose power but with the stock airbox this wont happen. I believe the stock airbox is the best if you modify it and remove the resonator chamber like Spoon does. There is a reason why Spoon cars use the stock airbox and their cars perform really well with reliability and consistency. You wont get reliability and consistency wit the ram intake.
yep and real world running conditions have airflow into the bumper grill unless it’s driven with the bumper grill taped off
true it’s rare to find a cone type filter with as good filtration as a panel filter
On K good induction will gain 20hp over stock box but aftermarket inductions are such pos that they cant even manage 10hp
true true
Cold air intake for better air density = Hp.
@@Wolfsbane70 Yes sir and longer stacked intake, “stacks” air columns one after the other giving the AEM hump phenomena
**"yes it even has headers
@2.40
yup
