ive read stuff on the RSX Type-S, Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 6-speed and Acura NSX having dual stage intake manifold. i know how it works, the valve opens, closing the long intake tract and opening the short intake tract as RPM's rise, blah blah.

my question is based on this dual-stage intake design, would this benefit at all for us?

take a look at the pic:

on the d17 engines prolly not, the only thing we benefit from is a engine swap or turbo, thanks to honda.

Hell we cant even get a complete aftermarket shock thanks to their new "improved" suspension.

I think they refer to actual intake manifold construction, not the tube feeding the air filter box. The idea of the dual tube intake runners is to allow higher air velocities at low rpms for more torque (the long tube) and higher air flow at higher rpms (the short tube).

^^^ yeah SMX thats what i was going for. just an idea.

would this idea work? yeah i know its a D17 but in theory....

what SMX said is right. The idea you have wont work, even in theory because you are playing with the air travel before the throttle body and not after.

If you're talking about fabbing your own intake with dual runners per cylinder, you're in way over my head. My fluid dynamics knowledge is out of shape.
