Looking for an induction kit for 1998 prelude 2.0

Soda Farl · Post by **Soda Farl** » Sun Jan 26, 2014 10:40 am

Have just been having a quick scan for an induction kit for my 1998 2l manual prelude.

There is no listing on the K&N website for one that is compatible.

Would a cheap one like this be okay or should I be looking for something a little better?

I can actually only find one other one that is listed as compatible.

Don't bother with an induction kit they are crap. I fitted one to my 2.0 and it didn't feel as responsive, so it went in the bin.

The best 2 things you can do is just replace the standard air filter in the airbox with a K&N one. Or if you can afford around £150, buy a Honda OEM airbox for a Prelude Type S and slap a K&N filter inside. As the Type S airbox is dual chamber and less restrictive.

As rob said, performance wise you won't notice much difference, but it will sound a lot better

On my 1st lude, I went for an eBay chrome intake pipe and binned the filter, then got a pipercross viper filter. It worked well for me and I'm still using it now, I've just upgraded the intake pipe

Not worried about performance just wanted it to sound a bit gruffer.

I can sell you one of those (used) for a tenner plus postage if you like. It's not immaculate, but cheaper than that and in perfectly usable condition. I can get some pics if you're interested.

Are you sure because this one says "Increases power by 6-10BHP and improves throttle response."?

I have one very similar to that jap speed one, it does make sound nicer but I haven't noticed a massive difference I have mine wrapped in some special insulation wrap and heat reflective tape I got from work
