is the intake your designing going to require a diff tune due to the MAF sensor and when is it going to be available ?
The plan is to design this intake so that it does not require any additional tuning. As for the release, it's a little too early in the game to give any exact release date. We'll have a better idea on that the further we move into the project.
Would you be able to manufacture a maf sensor adaptor / test pipe that we can play with while we wait for your full kit?The plan is to design this intake so that it does not require any additional tuning.

Speaking of, the stock airbox spent some time on our flowbench today for some baseline testing.
Stay tuned for updates!

In that case you would have to wait longer for the full kit
Our engineers have been working pretty hard on this one, and we have this whole week set up for testing, so it shouldn't be too much longer! Greatly appreciated!awesome keep up the good work! cant wait to see what you come up with
It's not too difficult, basically what you need to do before pulling the airbox is just pop out the weatherstripping around the intake, then take off the scoop. From there it's just two bolts and a grommet holding the box in. Other than that just some hose clamps around the rubber boot.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! i'am having my type r dyno the 25th by jtunes in wilmington ., to see what she also does....some of the ctr are hitting 300-301-295-and now 298whp impressive......and i know this is pump 93? since i also live in delaware., newcastle having the same temps we should hit the same
The real shoutout goes to the guy who let us borrow his
Ours should be hitting the dyno fairly soon, though. We've been too busy working on the intake and intercooler, but I'll make sure to have our numbers up asap!
Heads up you spelled Porsches, "Porches" in the blog. I don't think there are any porches out on the 'Ring
Haha yeah I could see where having a porch on the 'Ring would get a little dicey. Thanks for the heads upHeads up you spelled Porsches, "Porches" in the blog. I don't think there are any porches out on the 'Ring
Can't wait to see the numbers from the flow results!
After checking out your blog, I have a newfound respect for your business...Hey Guys,
Just bumping the thread for some more updates!
Before we can get into improving on Honda's initial design for the CTR, we have to take a look at how they engineered it in the first place.
Since the extreme aero is half of what makes the Type R so fast around the Nurburgring, Honda didn't want to waste any of the airflow passing through the multitude of slots and grilles incorporated into the front of the car, and practically embedded it into the front clip. In order to get a closer look, we had to dig it out.
I have to say, this is one of the most peculiar looking airboxes I've ever encountered. It reminds me a little bit of middle school band class if I'm being honest, but Honda had their reasons.
For a deeper dive into the stock system, check out the stock review over on our Engineering Blog.
I'll get more into our flow results and of course the rest of what was peeking over our flow bench in the next updates!
Thanks
Nick
