Other point to note with the Lude is that the engine is not ideally set up for itb's... (at the back of the bay, over the exhaust, with no natural fresh air flow to them) so some extra intrusive mods required (like a bonnet scoop maybe)

Wasn't there some talk on here of rotating the cylinder head like on the F series in the touring cars? I think somebody might even have been contemplating doing it

That would be Mercutio.

It's easy enough to duct air to the back of the bay though.

I know this is a bit different to itbs but has anyone on here done the h2k inlet swap a little bit different the accord type r inlet
Thanks

It is my plan to do that IF I want more power next year. Really you only need to start worrying about H2K intake manifolds once you are over ~280 bhp. Up to that level the ATR IM is fine.
