And for doing so Improved Racing has nothing to say and their fanboy boy calls me rude before validating my own claim. Maybe companies need to stop with using AI to get specs and actually do some R & D. Yes I'm bitching because of that bs.
The pics proved one thing dude, this is something that should have been actually done during R & D and the barbs are too small for 3/8" hose. Also can put the factory hose clamp on your 3/8" hose and prove it won't even open up enough to go over a 3/8" barb. Would you like those pics as well...
And there clearly is not a 9.5mm 3/8 barb anywhere. Thanks for confirming. Can also confirm the hose stayed the same from 2017 to 2025. Because as I side ID on on factory line and OD on the Honda barb is 5/16 or roughly 8mm. I see though you didn't bother showing us just how small the Factory...
Coming from someone who apparently is ok with vacuum leaks and your car running rich, you go for it. I paid $300 for a kit that was supposed to have the correct size hoses and support that actually answers a ticket. Not to mention the R&D that apparently wasn't done for the vehicle it was sold...
Ok so you ignore the fact that improved racing lied about their test results as well as the size of the Honda barbs And why are they not here disputing it? They used oversized hoses to get great test results. Plenty of pics proving this. Hose clamp doesn't fix it, correcting the hoses does.
Make sure you check engine side. You won't see leaks at can side because the fittings on the can are 3/8" ID. I'm not doing it with 3/8" on engine side. I have replaced an intake due to someone over tightening a hose that was too large. That boy got a foot in his ass for that one.
I used barb adapters to adapt back to the 5/16". Your going to run rich with a vacuum leak and you will see oil blowing out around the hoses after you run it awhile. I have seen a vacuum leak without a code though. Ask the guy with the radium can and leaking hoses due to o-rings. he didn't get...
Factory clamps won't even open up enough to go over the barb with the supplied 3/8" hoses. I'm using them with 5/16" fuel line and they are opened as far as they can go to get over the factory 5/16" barbs. Try again. Take a look at the pics from earlier of the factory hose alongside the 3/8...
I know you didn't use the factory clamps, they won't even fit over the supplied hoses. You did say you had to change the clamps in the video and again you clarified the size with Collin in the comments and the factory most certainly are not used and most certainly the factory barbs are 5/16"...
My comment from last night in response to Collin, who removed my tag from his response to me so I wouldn't be notified, in dispute of his claims of 3/8" barbs used by Honda was deleted and I reposted it this morning. And when it decides to disappear again, here is a screenshot.
