FN2 Air Scoop & Intake Kit
Sunday, December 21st, 2008This is the latest kit that i have developed for the FN2.
it consists of these items
1. a fiberglass air scoop
this routes up to the air filter and goes through a part of the air resonator system. it allows for ram air effect as air is fed through the bumper directly up to the filter.
2. a large 6 inch K&N air filter coupled with a velocity stack for maximum response and power gains. this filter flows enough for really big horsepower levels.
3. custom made heat shield to block off any unwanted engine heat to minimize heat soak.
4. all hardware to bolt it all up for a perfect fit.

These 2 items will work hand in hand to give the best power gains i have seen over some other available kits in the market. I have also seen some that requires a relocation of the battery, which in my opinion does not serve any purpose. In some worse case, kits are put together haphazardly and sometimes throws a Check Engine Light due to the ECU close loop not working correctly.
The intake roar on this kit is considerably louder than the stock filter setup, and the power delivery is definitely way better. On the test car with a Hondata reflashed ECU, the car is very willing to pull all the way to the increased redline of 8600rpm.
Finally, a decent mod for the FN2 without the “drug money” price tag that accompanies the very few other kits available for this car. Will be posting up a dyno chart to show the gains soon. Please be patient and let me get the car to the dyno!
