i have the PWJDM c/f intake. from the butt dyno, i didn't feel any real differnce. the "bling" factor is nice, but then i get the whole "you could have bought a turbo" speech.

but, i will say this, a while ago i had my s2k dyno'd, with the pwjdm intake, berks test pipe and their 3 inch exhaust, and a hondata flashpro (only had the mugen reflash on it at the time) and made 220whp. the same day, a guy had a bone stock ap2 make 210whp. so, thats an iffy idea there

though, i am going in for a tune with evan's tuning next wensday, with the addition of a j's header and okada project plasma coils, so, i'll see what numbers i get.

well, just got my car tuned.

first off, the 220whp i thought i made untuned was a very high reading dyno

got my car baselined by evans tuning at 208whp.

after he started tuning it, he could only get it to 213whp (but the afr is much much happier now).

but, the culprit seems to be the pwjdm intake. it's causing some weird issues in the lower rpm range



so, looks like i'm taking mine off now.

Talk to Gernby. He seems to really like it and has made great numbers with that intake.

Save your money and keep the stock intake.

K&N and be done! They are a company that has spent millions of $$$ on R&D for hundreds of cars! Mass produced intakes that perform excellent!
