Nitrous k20 integra vs himself

Same dyno, same everything. Just 2 weeks apart. The only thing changed between the 2 runs were the intake.... Where did you get the assumption that more things were changed? a clutch? really?

That was my guess. I've seen that tuned length intake runners work, never heard of anyon tuning the length of the intake pipe (pre throttle body) and seeing benefits. I would think his intake is benefitting more from the cooler air and the velocity stack.

Exactly.
The previous intake was shorter and was routed a different way, this is a tuned intake length. The one that worked best for what they wanted.

Unaware, you guys are very unaware.
It's not the cold air, its the length and diameter of the intake that makes the difference. Believe it or not, my buddies gone from a turd intake to a velocity stack on that same intake and picked up 4whp without touching the intake piping. If you guy's new anything about all motor honda's you'd know what im talking about. Different length intake's effect the engine differently.

The intake looks retarded. Plain and simple.
I've seen headlight intakes that look acceptable, but that is horrible.
And the only justification is 8hp? 8hp?
That's all it takes to justify making your car look like it has a trumpet sticking out of the front?

Most of the things being said in here are just opinion's maybe you guys should back your claims with numbers and data (like i did) then maybe your opinion's can be valid. until then.
Not necessarily, the car picked up power on the dyno. (stationary)

It's even more sad that you see nothing wrong with that.

Because he went with a twin disk, the previous clutch started to slip at the last event he went to. So he had to upgrade since he was going to go on nitrous.

Uh its a 2.0l inline 4 cylinder. 8whp from just switching up your intake setup is a very very respectable gain. With cam's these motor's usually yield anywhere from 15-20whp. It's not a v8.

Well, I don't see any proof the intake pipe "tuning" made any power. I see he dyno'd the car, then changed a clutch because it was slipping, then went back on the Dyno 2 weeks later and made a little more power.
Here is proof that you can do nothing and make more power.
My car. First run on the Dyno made 343HP. Made no changes, second run was 348. Smart day, third run, 349.8. I wonder what I could have done if I tuned the intake out the front of the intake car.?.

Yeah, I was thinking of how to do that. Maybe start with a four foot intake and cut it down a half inch at a time until it starts losing power, the put a velocity stack on, some couplers and change the clutch. Should net a solid 16HP if a four cylinder can get eight.

Yes, but he could have easily made it look half decent if he hadn't been so worried about intake length.
These are decent examples where the owner didn't remove the headlight and didn't go with a damn trumpet...
