This intake improves power output across the entire power band, accentuates turbo and intake sounds when you press the accelerator, has a beauty that perfectly matches the engine compartment, is easy to change filters, and has performance that keeps you on track even as you tune your CIVIC Type R.
After three MAF housings, seven velocity stacks, several filters, flowbench (flow measurement) tests, validation of 16 material and heat shield samples, and 65 dyno (horsepower measurement) tests, we arrived at one answer. That's "Formula Intake".
This report shows that simply replacing the factory ECU with a Formula 76mm Street intake increased the output by 30 horsepower without checking lamp illumination or knock correction.

Just Swap It: Factory ECU Untouched
Simply installing the "Formula 76mm Street" intake while still using the original ECU, without error (CEL) or knock correction, the wheel-drive horsepower increased from 270.2 whp to 300.2 whp 30 horsepower increase This is a report of the surprising test results.
Add FlashPro: Same Base Map, Both Intakes
This is a report of the results of comparing the factory airbox with the Formula Intake in the "same basemap state" before installing the Honda FlashPro and adding dedicated MAF scaling (fuel conditioning correction data).
Tuned Right: The Honest Like-For-Like
This report details the "final direct comparison data" after adjusting MAF scaling (fuel adjustment correction) and optimal ECU setting for each intake. Over a wide range of 2,500〜6,800 rpm, torque increases averaged +7 whp / +8 lb-ft (approximately 1.1 kgm), resulting in practical power improvements across the entire range, not just peak power.
