97-01 JDM Type-S intake on a 4Gen? - Honda Prelude Forum

mjvoet · 05-29-2007, 07:47 PM

I'm talking about the air filter to the TB, not the intake manifold. Some people represent this as working on a 4Gen, others say the wheelbase difference keeps it from fitting, some of that difference is in the engine bay. Has anyone here tried to fit on on their 4Gen?

here is when i had one on my 94

fyi should have searched, but its been widely know most 5th gen intakes fit the 4th gen.

only diferance is that we have a vaxum spot next to the tb for the idale star asit valve not sure the xact name but thats what it does.

i removed the brass tube from my oem and drilled a hole in the type s and put it in

never got questioned my a cop or a smog tech in cali either

ive been meaning to trade my aem v2 for a type s; however, besides looks, does anyone know any significant differances in either?

^Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

performance>looks

petern101 · 06-03-2007, 12:28 PM

there are some dyno plots in the NA forum...

but for most ppl, either are the top choices (maybe bpi flowstack along with this as well)

but when you are comparing the two, I honestly believe you are splitting hairs. intakes only provide so much gains and then its off to other things.

seems like the most ppl who discuss intakes are novice users who only hear about intaks and think its going to make your car 1 second quicker in the 0-60.... no disrespect to OP but that just seems like the on going trend.

yah, that's what i was thinking as well. i mean...i did have noteable differances when installing my v2..but it wasnt anything too drastic. in either case ill probabely trade my v2 for a type s just because aesthetically it looks more pleasing inside the engine bay.

petern101 · 06-03-2007, 02:31 PM

^i can totally agree with that.

makes the engine bay look stock

I forget the end results, but I think it was Joon525 who tried to fit a CAI in the Type S intake.

I have the Type S intake and strut bar. It's a night and day difference with noise compared to the V2.

realLEMMIWINKZ · 06-04-2007, 12:08 PM

yah, im deffinately going for the type s. my car's semi loud (for my tastes) so hopefully the type s will reduce the overall growl.

slipknot95758 · 06-04-2007, 01:34 PM

the type s sounds good i would put it there with my aem cai i ha on the car when i bought it

What about power, though?

I only really did that for size comparison's sake. I didn't try to run the car like that.
