Battery Swap = More Room .

I was looking on AFE Power's website and they happen to have an enclosed intake system for the 2.0T Accord...Anyone care to try it out?

Edit: It looks like I'm late to the party. People seem to be aware of this system in other threads....Carry on.

I Like the Intake Takeda did for the Type R , which seem a little more developed for $50. Less ?

Only thing is do to Poor Layout of the Battery Location & Master Cly / Brake Booster on AutoX10 - Can't even get close ..
Now If anyone was to - Swap Out Battery - Set Up for one that's in Type R - Instantly pick Up 2 inches or so Possibly move some wires a Bit and Squeeze more Room into
Proper Location .. - Well just a Thought ..Also ~

If We had a Proper Designed Batter Tray ( BRACKET ) - Might be able to Squeeze Battery Up against the Firewall .. Especially using one of those Super Lightweight Battery ..
Read some Good Reports on them .. Place Battery Tender in Garage near Parked Honda for Added Insurance .. Life Time is Reported as High ..

Here's some more Info - so Lets , Break-It -Down .

K&N Filters out - Sq. Inches on those are Approx 55.3125 of Filtering Material = R Type .

K&N Filter Accord - Sq. Inches Of Filtering Material = 58.9" I checked two sites = Accord 2.0T ?

Above seems Off - so Very Well could Be Listed Incorrectly . . I don't Believe - K&N has 5 Layers . .

Everyone Knows the K&N's have a " Wide Border Frame " around Their Filter .

Allowing Best Sq. In. Takeda System = 59.00" - Most likely on High Side as True Dia. of Intake Hoses & Filter - etc. NOT Mentioned !

Honda's - Stock Filter = 48.490 Sq. In. X 1.5 Inches Depth .. & Mostly K&N's run 1.25 Depth so that must be Checked !

Depth of Filtering Media all about same - Seems Honda Designed close to K&N as Generally Stock Air Filters have Deeper 2" Media.

Picture with Markings

You see the Three colors - Yellow looks to Pulling Air from the ECU Area or Intent is to ..do that ..

The Blue is Pulling Air from down in Chassis Frame Area ..1.1 Dia. approx . so there is some small additional Inlet the Oval Opening is 1.5" x 4" these are Not Perfect Measurements
Like 1.475 x 4.010 etc. , so the Area of - Air Inlet = Quite Small . .

Motor must be consuming 385 CFM under Full Load or there a bouts . . Roughly You have 300 Cu Ft per min. and Up pulling through .20 Cu. ft. Area - even running down the road
55 Mph might push that up to .8 of Cu. Ft. - so Velocity in this Area is Very High .. and Turbo is Working to Pull Air in Great Velocity . .

Slow Speed Eff% is why Honda did this ..to Keep Air Column Speed up during slow and Light Driving .. No Wonder the Air Intake is Dragging Motor Down High Up ..

The Red small Circle is for Rain Over Spilling into the Air-Box - and there is a Spring Loaded Amount that lets Water Out
Once it Hits certain weight ..

Well Certainly Room for Improvement , I would like to see this Type of Vendor Support coming to Honda Accord ..
Even thou Tweaks are Certainly Nice Improvements .. maybe what most will use ..

These are @ entirely Other Level :
