Type S intake Pipe VS ATR intake pipe
OK, not really looking to argue or anything but i don't understand, why if the type S intake is alot better than the prelude one, why was one of a similar design not used on the ATR? instead one that is similarish to the standard prelude one used ? granted it starts fatter and reduces in size to the TB but broadly speaking they are similar?
consider also the ATR was built after the first of the type S's
just a thought/observation! maybe the atr Airbox could be fited to the lude?

Different car and different engine bay dimensions. Maybe Honda had already compromised on design and cost already on the Accord Type R so not much left to develop the ATR intake.
But i do agree with you and have always wondered this myself. I think the main advantage for the Type S intake is the volume of air it can hold so the air supply wont run dry. But with the smaller pipe it can be restricted at max flow.

It's all to do with intake pulse tuning, progressive flow rates, IM volumes, intake velocity and transitions.
Too much to go through to get to the exact same answer as I have already posted

Buzzonion you seem to know your onions(sorry I had to ) do you know any good places for calculators to work out flow rates based on volume, standard drag coefficients and air speeds? and maybe a good density calculator based on atmospheric pressure and aperture size? I feel the need to play with intake flows and densities on both cars but it's been so long I can't remember any of that kind of thing need to practice and use something that likes numbers more than my brain
