I don't have a complete price list yet. After I take it to Humble, I should have some solid numbers. It will only include parts needed for the build.

what type of intake is that? is that the Password:JDM intake for a Honda fit?

If so, did you have to make any modifications (besides moving the battery) to make it fit (direct bolt-on)?

After putting on the RBC and ZDX the thing pulled like a freight train. I do not currently monitor the AFR, that is why I'm trying not to WOT the thing. Because I don't know what is going on.

That is correct, it is the JDM password intake for the Honda Fit. No modifications needed for the swap, I just relocated the battery that is it.

Dash command with a bluetooth or wifi transmitter works great and monitors AFR as well as all the other good stuff plus you can data log. Uses your phone or pad as a display.

does this intake perform better than the cp-e intake? In my opinion, it sure looks better than the cp-e (i <3 carbon fiber)...

I have a valve spring compressor tool in the fs. You need it for the springs in the head right?

I just used a 3inch short ram intake from my Si that I bought from ebay a while back. I cut it to fit.

I'm not to sure if it does better, I ran a 14.9 with exhaust and the JDM intake. I don't know how much of that was intake and how much was exhaust.

Where did you put the battery? Is the intake "noisy" like the K&N or CPE? My wife and I hated the intake noise of the K&N and I promptly sold it.

The battery is in the rear. The intake isn't noisy, well maybe a little when in boost.

Hey Ken since you work at a dealership by chance do you ever see an 05-08 Acura RL? the rear driveshaft in them are carbon fiber and weigh much less then ours.. i would be curious if they are the same length.. i know the bolt up patterns are the same but i dont know if the midsection would be and if the full length is a tad to long ... let me know what you come across

There is a guy that works up there that has a RL, I will try to see if I can get his car on the lift with measuring tape. This is the underbody of my RDX.

I found this coupler with a built-in 1/8" NPT bung by Mishimoto. The AEM water/meth nozzle bolts right up to it.
