PRL Motorsports 2017+ Honda Civic Type-R FK8 High Volume Intake System

[02SilverSiHB]

I've always wondered - what modifications are made to the maps for intakes like this? I noticed that Hondata always has modified maps specific to each intake (even when there's no impact to fuel trims from the intake). KTuner doesn't seem to do this though, which makes me wonder what's actually being customized on the Hondata maps?

No tone there, just genuinely curious.

yeah, I don't remember seeing too many calibration choices when I was running ktuner...but it's not like I have that many mods, lol.

I know PRL has a dyno in house but I don't know how much they're doing to modify the tune for the intake - I believe they're just testing the intake with a stock tune. I've been chatting with IMW about doing not only the "Intake Release Party" but also a tune for the intake - if the car can benefit from any custom tune. We'll find out. It will be up to IMW/KTuner if they want to distribute it though-

That was a conversation I had with Derek recently - I'm getting tuned now but plan on going PRL or Acuity for an intake later this summer and wanted to be sure I didn't need a full retune after install. That's not necessary, just a new MAF scaling. So each intake has a specific maf scale or probably a bit of a range of maf scales that works best for it, is my understanding.

It's the same feeling I had in 2017 when we knew the TypeR was coming but knew little else except "before end of spring" which turned out to be like 3 days before Summer started. I'm excited either way.

The maf housings are in production on our cnc's here along with our silicon hoses. We are working out a few kinks on our rotomold mold, to make sure the end product meets our standards visually and of course functionally. We hope to have our last revision in the next week, then we can begin orders and have an exact eta!
