+12 hp?! Should this mean that the OEM air intake is the bottle-neck? Actually I don't believe this +12 hp. Is there an explanation for this?

I don't think Detlef is saying it is a stand alone 12+ BHP gain,it is when combined with H+E.

Exactly, thanks Igor.

The airbox works best with 'opened' exhaust system .

We can drive my car next year at the N'ring and stand it onto the dyno.

Exactly, thanks Igor.

Your wish is my command Dr Frankenstein

I am almost sure most of the power is from the headers and exhaust.

Right regarding 3.0 engines, not right regarding 3.2l engines.

Nevertheless, my car with 3.0 engine was dynoed with 301 HP without and 312 HP with that system, not sure if thats a power increase.

(301 HP with Mugen headers, exhaust, MUGEN ECU, 312 HP all + intake kit)

The video shows the car with 3.0 l engine.

All 2 NSX-R race cars uses our system, it has a reason why Honda spent that money.

How Much For the Mugen Headers and ECU?


How Much for the Intake system ?

Do you have a copy of the dyno results that you can post ?


Does anybody know where to get the above from at reasonable prices ?

Are the Mugen headers better than The Taitec Ones ?

Thanks

Thanks

Yes they are probably better, but is it worth an extra 2K?

[NSXGB]

Yes they are probably better, but is it worth an extra 2K?

If they are, I'm sure it would be only a handfull of horses, so as AR quite rightly points out, not much extra bang for your buck....

Bit of a can of worms this,because would not aftermarket headers only release a handfull of horses over the standard factoy ones? As you say,not much extra bang for your buck.
This is why i posted the question earlier.Is the amount of gain you would get really worth spending about 3K on I/H/E.Personaly i don't think so.

[Procar Specials]

Well, there are lot of people here who have experience with mods.
But I'm not sure if someone ever had installed MUGEN headers or ECU or combinations like that.

How Much For the Mugen Headers and ECU?

The MUGEN headers are no longer available,
the ECU is 1200 Euro

How Much for the Intake system ?

The complete Procar carbonfiber intake system is 1200 Euro

Do you have a copy of the dyno results that you can post ?

Already did that 1 side before, also a dyno video.
This was recorded with my NA1 engine.

Does anybody know where to get the above from at reasonable prices ?

YES

Are the Mugen headers better than The Taitec Ones ?

YES Sir, they are, but the best bang for the buck is the Taitec.

Thanks

Thats right, but its the only way without open the engine.
If you start to do that....its getting very expensive.

Is the amount of gain you would get really worth spending about 3K on I/H/E.Personaly i don't think so.

My opinion is a definitive yes.
Makes a feelable difference. Think I can say that, but its only my opinion.
Other factors like weight reduction and best wheel size are also very important.
Finally its a combo of all, but it cost lots of money, thats right.
