Honda S2000 K&N FIPK Induction Kit Install! With Before & After Audio!! 4K

[@GLJ-hq2ii]

Sounds awesome. The before and after clips really highlight the change. I do love vtec crossover 👍🏻

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed that part! It’s definitely a decent change!

[@raymanguino7696]

I was on the fence between this and the stock box mod but your reaction at the end has convinced me to pull the trigger

[@OllyRoss]

Hahahaha! Amazing! It really is a night and day difference. You do probably take a hit on power but I think the sound difference is worth that

[@HYFRLamar]

Brother, i just came across this video and watched it to the end. the way your face lit up when you heard that vtec crossover is the face of pure joy. love that shit, man. 🔥💯

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! Thanks man! Pretty much sums up owning this car to be honest! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kalmtraveler]

K&N FIPK is great for adding sound but digging around s2ki it looks like it actually loses a small amount of HP over the full stock setup. I had a Mugen intake ready to install last year but didn't want to cut my factory hood/bonnet and in the past 2 years haven't been able to source a brand new Mugen hood so I ended up selling the intake and going for an AEM V2 CAI which is the only S2000 intake I've seen reliably making any power improvements and not losing power anywhere - it also sounds amazing. Power-wise it seems to give a decent mid-range bump while keeping the same peak HP as stock.

[@OllyRoss]

Yeah, I am fully aware of the power loss with this set up but the sound is what I was after as it won't stay N/A forever. Good to know that there is a solution out there if you want to stay N/A though!

[@Manvswild11]

Have you seen inside a AEM V2? The piece of smaller tubing for their (dual chamber crap) continues inside the other bigger tubing a long way, it has to disrupt airflow… I was going to go that setup until I saw that and went Injen instead which is nearly the same without the issue, and it’s louder because it’s only one layer or aluminium tube vs two

[@kalmtraveler]

@@Manvswild11 yep, had one on my first AP1 back in 2007, and ended up putting one on my 2nd AP1 in 2021. The 'dual chamber crap' is in fact one of the reasons it makes a little bit of power over stock, where most other intakes (particularly those without the multi size design) actually end up losing power. If you spend some time looking at actual dynamometer charts from real owners back when these cars were new, you'll find that AEM was not lying when explaining how their design utilizes harmonics to increase the amount of air entering the engine at certain RPM ranges - in exactly the same way that the runners and plenum of an intake manifold influence this. Nothing new, and not a massive improvement, but a tangible one nonetheless.

[@metubey0u]

Bought one of these kits ages ago myself but haven't fitted it yet. I came to the S2000 after many years with civics and Accords and was quite disappointed by the lack of VTEC crossover noise. I had the same face as you when I did the airbox mod the first time. Not only do you loose some HP's you also loose a lot more petrol because you go into VTEC chasing the noise. Sounds awesome!

[@OllyRoss]

Well, it looks like you have to get it on the car then! I think the loss in power is worth it for the noise! Haha

[@maxbriscoegarage]

more mods for the s2k you love to see it! btw it sounds absolutely insane!!

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! Mods are the best! Thanks man! I would have to agree with you!

[@adam_s2k]

The FIPK can be modified to reduce the heat soak issues! It basically just needs additional heat shielding to seal the gap between it and the strut, shields at the front to stop hot radiator air getting in, and a big cold air scoop from the front grill to get more cold air in! Mines heavily modified in this way and performs well now!

[@OllyRoss]

May look into this in the future. I do think the gap between the strut and the airbox is a strange design choice.

[@adam_s2k]

@@OllyRoss it’s because of the left hand drive cars having the AC pipework there that’s all! But unfortunately for us it just leaves a big old gap for it to suck in hot air from around the exhaust manifold! If you want any info on how I’ve modified mine just have a look on my intagram, same name as on here :)

[@ChazzyWoo07]

What a change!

[@OllyRoss]

I know!! Makes it so much more fun to drive too

[@halimhafes1237]

Woww S2000, it’s a rare car at malaysia…👍🏻

[@OllyRoss]

They are getting more rare here in the UK too

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

At least you are aware of a likely very small performance loss. Takeda is a better option. AEM is a good option which is what I run, just have to be somewhat careful in the wet. Can easily recreate the intake and make a DIY one too

[@OllyRoss]

Nice one! Yeah, it’s all for the noise really. Good to know that there are other options out there too

[@clardrives9301]

9:47 that’s what cars and driving are all about :)

[@OllyRoss]

Hahahaha! You aren’t wrong there! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@hondahondahonda5964]

Coming together nicely dude

[@OllyRoss]

Big plans! It’s going to take time but big plans!

Oh nice! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@tig_229]

Mate that’s glorious, makes me wanna do one on my EP3!

[@OllyRoss]

It really is! The EP3 sounds so good with one! My first POV Drive video gives you a pretty good idea of what it sounds like before a map

[@craiggibson3523]

Wow that’s sounds mental. Next job rocker cover 👍🏻it’s hurting my eyes

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! Yeah, it annoys me too! Just can't justify £750 for a new one from Spoon so that will have to wait a bit

[@craiggibson3523]

@@OllyRoss hell no that’s ludicrous mate, just get that one painted yellow for the time being by unknown fab his work is awesome. I’m doing at couple battery covers at the moment and said I’d sent u one at some point if ur still interested? Just don’t know if u have the battery surround also to give that cleaner look??

[@stefancork2453]

I have a rocker cover Olly if you want it from my 06, just give me your old one when you're done.

[@asherd6834]

What makes you think it will lose power ? Nearly all open cone filters make power especially on s2k. The stock air box is ridiculously restrictive. All this heat soak is bollocks. Good job 👍🏽

[@fruitygranulizer540]

nope. it depends on the car, some stock airboxes are restrictive. but the one on the honda s2000 is super well made, piping is direct from the intake with nothing to restrict the airflow. check out LHT Performance's video testing out different intakes for the S2k. the performance is similar during cold runs, but once theres heat in the engine bay, aftermarket intakes drop about 10 hp vs stock airbox due to heat soak. again, it really depends on the car. honda's rsx for example has one of the worst stock airbox designs and even with heat soak an aftermarket intake will give you an hp boost. but the s2k is different in that regards.

[@drivenfromjamaica876]

Awesome content, and sound

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks!! Really appreciate it!

Olly Ross? More like Olly Boss. More like Ollie over those haters.

I will take that! Haha

K&N needs to put that face on the ad

[@OllyRoss]

@@483SGT Hahahahaha!!

[@asianskywalker]

im pretty sure k&N air filters let a lot more dust particles into your engine. They're not good for your engine.

[@OllyRoss]

I have never had a problem with any of the ones I have run on any of my cars.
