What did you do to your Integra Type S today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Ash @ S2i Audio]

Verdict so far: I noticed a more responsive throttle pedal, by a noticeable amount. Noise hasn't increased by that much, but I was already running the silicone hoses which did increase noise over the OE corrugated plastic ones so I imagine this upgrade would make more noise over bone stock.

Having a titanium inlet instead of aluminum was my main reason for the change, given how much lower Ti's thermal conductivity is vs Al. The throttle sensitivity improvement was a bonus I wasn't expecting!

Bingo!

The blanket and gold foil helped for me. Eventuri makes a carbon pipe that replaces the aluminum elbow as well, which is why I was considering it.

You're spot on that Ti is way better at resisting heat transfer than aluminum. Glad to hear it worked well! I'm considering it as well, but I'll probably still wrap it in gold .

I'm debating whether to install the Funk Motorsports turbo blanket I just bought, or waiting till the spring. It's getting cold already here and I won't be doing any track days till then.

I might end up selling it for now and then doing a catted downpipe in the spring, along with blankets for both parts.

Given someone else mentioned the doubling of blankets removes the ability to bolt the heat shields up, I would personally blanket the turbo, and then do a custom wrap on the DP. Wraps are more effective when done right imo, and you can avoid the mount holes so you can keep the heat shields! Downside is you need to properly seal the pipe to prevent rust from moisture.

Options, options

If I go double blankets I would not run the heat shields. They're pretty useless anyway.

Still playing catch-up. 20% tint this morning, red leds in the doors, & footwells, Overland console, Acuity combo last night. My black badges should be here tomorrow. Hit 1k tonight as well.

 

[Ash @ S2i Audio]

Nice mods! Looking good!

Question on the LEDs- does one door LED do both the light bar and the door handle, or are those 2 separate LEDs?

2 separate

Thank you! I just ordered 2 for the light bar only. I like the rest of the lighting white. Appreciate the help!

Blasphemous.

What else do you got in the rabbit hole for mods?

nothing yet. Maybe an inlet pipe.
Non-performance: full set of black badges today. Just hardwired my Garmin dash camera. Hood struts will be here tomorrow. I'm considering a thicker steering wheel, and a few small carbon fiber pieces. I don't want to overdo it. Time to enjoy it.

I left the charging bay white. I changed both in door since the doorcard was off. Very easy, I watched a video, & was done in 20 minutes.


I didn't have to go to my workbench. Btw.

Don't know why all Type S didn't come this way?

Just want to add a little feedback about the acuity 4 way short shifter. My coworker has an integra type S as well, that’s bone stock. I tested the oem shifter against my recently installed acuity 4 way side by side during our lunch break. The difference is huge. I never thought the stock shifter was sloppy but compared to the acuity short shifter it feels super loose. I’m glad I got a chance to test it side by side. I think it’s easily my favorite mod to date.
