If they ever release it lolMeh, more interested in PRLs high volume intake release
I had a K&N Typhoon on my Focus ST and I loved it. Might go this route for the Civic, I would just love to know how much the PRL one is going to costI’ll try this. Always had good results with the K&N system.
How do you know the K&N one is not the same size as stock?Wait on the PRL and a properly sized maf housing
Because you can look at how they manufacture the intakes, the scaling is usually off on the housing, based off all the other intakes they have made for HondasHow do you know the K&N one is not the same size as stock?
But this one has not yet been measured, so it is a bit presumptuous to say it is not the right size.Because you can look at how they manufacture the intakes, the scaling is usually off on the housing, based off all the other intakes they have made for Hondas
According to PRL the MAF size is not an issue on the 11th Gen like it was with the 10th Gen:The K&N intake might be fine, might be not. These types of companies typically just slap together some tubing with the same sized MAF housing and call it a day w/o much real engineering or data collection. Just because the MAF housing diameter is the same doesn't mean that air flow through the MAF housing isn't affected to the point that it can throw off fuel trims. This was pretty typical on the 10th gen, especially with the Injen, so pretty safe to assume it will happen here as well. Yes, you can do MAF rescaling yourself, but it's a pretty arduous process.
The MAF table still needs to be rescaled though if the MAF housing size changes. That's just a universal fact for how MAF sensors work. They sense air-flow. Put that same MAF sensor in a larger housing and for the same air-flow reading, more air will actually be entering the intake due to a larger cross-sectional area of the housing.According to PRL the MAF size is not an issue on the 11th Gen like it was with the 10th Gen:
We have discussed the possibility of a larger "Race MAF Housing" option, but have not officially decided on which direction we plan to go. Considering the 11th Gen L15CA uses a Hertz-based MAF sensor that can be rescaled with KTuner or Hondata to increase MAF resolution, there isn't exactly a need for a larger MAF housing diameter.
