I recently picked up a 27Won Snorkel for a 2023 Integra A-Spec 6MT. I recently installed a RV6 Turbo and started to look into ways to drop inlet air temperatures (IATs).
The Dozuki installation instructions were fairly accurate. Installation does require modification/grinding of the upper radiator frame and relocation of the driver’s side high horn. You can trim or simply remove the shroud behind the grill. There is no way you can avoid this as the scoop will not fit without these adjustments.
I cannot emphasize how awesome 27Won’s customer service is. I reached out to them regarding horn relocation recommendations.
Ultimately, I decided to go a different route. Although I used to be an electrician, I avoid splicing and crimping factory wires unless absolutely required. What I can up with is pulling the left horn wiring from the center bundle, turning the bracket 90 degrees, and using an existing upstream from the cable bundle.
The next big project is grinding down the radiator support to accommodate the scoop. Just takes time and patience. I fitted, then spray painted the grinder down areas.
The scoop marries up perfectly to the PRL HVI inlet scoop. In terms of lowering temps, inconclusive due too much time passing and cooler ambient temps in the afternoon. The car seems to pull harder at the low end, not too much of the difference on the high end. I plan to get the car dyno’d later.
Some other considerations: when you put your bumper back in, the clips that attach the top piece that attaches to the radiator frame will require quite a bit more effort. The frame for the scoop raises your radiator frame a couple of millimeters, requiring a little more force to shut your hood (not able to just drop and secure in one go).
Overall I am content with the product. I think it makes the HVI work better.
