2018 Sport Touring CVT

I thought I would also chime in on this. I have a 2017 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. The install was really a big PITA. I saw the video and looked at the instructions and it looked pretty simple. However, we all know theory does not always work perfectly in reality.

1). I had the same issue with the airbox. I ended up first take off the plastic part cover when you first open the hood and also remove the short bracket. Even then putting in the airbox was pretty difficult. With the little clearance it was tough trying to thread the bolts in. As for torquing the bolts, I also had to guess.

2). The fasteners just as you mentioned on the turbo side, had to put the car on the lift and tighten from underneath.

3). Initially when installed the lid/box holes were way off. Had to put some serious force to line them up. *

4). The way the instructions are, the intake seriously rubs against the trans and one of the sensor plugs.


So my suggestion is this. For the Sport Touring ( not sure about other models ), I would slightly redesign the plastic intake to have a small indentation to give about 1 inch of space. Basically about a 2 inch by 2inch square with maybe 1 inch indentation where the sensor plug is so that there is no rub. Also, to further help, you can slightly bring up the intake box and mount it slightly higher by slightly flattening it short bracket so it has a more flat angle.

I'm not sure how many people actually tested and looked at it but I did. Changing from D, R, N, P, you see the trans move a bit and each time it moves, it rubs up against the plastic intake. Enough of the rubbing is going to strip that sensor plug and its wires. It is only a matter of time.

I was pretty pumped up about buying the product and it came very well packaged. I emailed support to ensure there were no issues before purchasing it. (Response from my question ""Yes this air intake will fit on your car. It is a tighter fit with a CVT versus a manual transmission but the unit will still work and show great results.")

It is not merely a "tighter fit" and there is definitely an issue and will lead you to have issues with that sensor. I had high expectations and ended up a bit disappointed. If I came into the situation knowing what to expect, I wouldn't have minded. This would be a 9/10 product but after the install issue I couldn't give it more than a 7.5/10.

This is not to bash the company or the product but there are some improvements to be made and some heads up to the customer would definitely improve the customer experience.
replys noted and forwarded to ENG for future review. Thanks for the feedback @xjoshuax89
I read another member had similar fitment issues on a Sport Touring. Does anyone know if the fitment issues on a Sport Touring CVT has been fixed? Thanks

I don't know if it has been fixed but armed with knowing what to do, it won't be too hard to install it.

I know they retweaked the box shape so it should be easier to put on the top lid and mounting it should be easier. The only issue is the rubbing against the plug which you can mitigate by using a heat gun and slightly pressing in that area or if you are really worried, you can just cut out the area. Its just like maybe a 2 inch by 2 inch square you would need to either press in a bit or cut out.

A revised bracket helped pull it away from the plug, you should have no major issues and be good to go.

The lids are now secured with longer hardware and a dab of purple loctite. This is to give better thread engagement and reduce the likely hood of anything coming loose. As for any concerns with the filter while we have only had a handful mentioned to us we have added an extra finishing step to the box to give the filter and clamp more bite onto the box. All of these are in place and in every intake moving forward.
another reason why i will be buying this INTAKE to put on my car come April, great customer service, and a willingness to make a fix when the original product called for it. Keep up the great work Vincent and the 27won gang....

I am thinking about this intake on my 2018 EX-T sedan. Do we know if this MAF is the same diameter as stock?

Will you come out with a race version?

also - anyone who has this, how are your intake temps can stock?

Yes it is, you will want to be sure to select the base (non-SI) version

We are considering a race MAF version in the future yes

thanks! Should I expect intake temps lower than stock? I have read about a slit or something on the intake cover that could bring in hot air?

is this still only available in orange?

The slit is where it draws in air from the factory OEM location. That would be in the case the bottom part was obstructed for some reason. Part of our no hydro lock feature.

and we have black as well.

great! So that slit would be where it pulls air from the hood area? That shouldn’t be hot air if you are moving right?

thanks for answering all of my questions!

it looks like you addressed any and all issues reported in the early stages of this being released. I look forward to buying this intake.
