2000 Honda Civic SI - Power Pages

Parts
Power intake tube, Air filter, Crankcase vent hose, silicone connector, hose, clamps, and intake bracket

Notes
Taking one look at the stock airbox, it was no surprise the B16 engine is literally being chocked off with limited air supply and horsepower-robbing restriction. Upon installing the intake and taking the Civic on its final dyno pull, I felt that warm and fuzzy feeling as the sound of the Password:JDM intake amplified the VTEC crossover, almost incoherent when the factory box was present.

Pros
Using a unique flared intake tube design, the Password:JDM power chamber combines a carbon-fiber shell and an unorthdox design to unleash the potential horsepower lying within your B16 powerplant. While the B16 isn't known to provide neck snapping torque, we were rather pleased to find 12 lb-ft of torque at 2700rpm over our baseline run and a gain of 6 lb-ft of torque at 5700rpm. Horsepower figures also didn't disappoint as a gain of 7hp was recorded at 2700rpm over baseline. Horsepower came on strong once again at 3800 rpm and showed a peak of 9hp at 5700rpm and mirrored those numbers once again at 7300rpm till redline.

Cons
The Civic's aftermarket Spoon Sports tower bar posed a minor inconvenience when installing the carbon-fiber intake due to the wider-than-accustomed-to intake pipe diameter. After some careful consideration, the intake was attached to the throttle body and the newly supplied valve cover hose was measured and attached.

Conclusion
What began as a baseline dyno run of 135.1hp and 97.3 ft lb of torque was quickly revamped with a 9.2 wheel hp and 6.9 lb-ft of torque gain simply using an intake, exhaust and grounding system; products that can be easily installed in your garage or backyard. Stay tuned for our next series as we plan to slap in some serious cams and tune using an A'PEXi V-AFC II.
