yes there's nothing inside, but intake desing is far more complicated than that... you should consider the runners lenght, plenum size, shape, etc.

we'll be using a 60mm throttle body from a honda GSR engine, but the hole in the intake flange has been made 62mm for a later upgrade to a Type R throttle body (62mm).

Hello

I just have to say in a few words NICE JOB. That Intake 8) . I now like the idea of using the electronics of Honda.

Cheers

Quick Shifter (aka Short Shifter), is the whole assembly that replaces the stock one.... it's basicaly the stick that used for shifting gears. It reduces the throw in most cases by 40%, therefore increasing acceleration.

well actually shift time is ecceleration, with my auto trany, with out hte shift kit it would take a while to get up to 80 mph, with the shift kit installed and on setting one.. its way faster!! huge difference and it feels like it only takes 1/10 the time to shift

Yes, by shifting quicker (shift time) your acceleration gets better.

I don't know about the quickshift guide, but I know for sure that QuickShifter is the same thing as a ShortShifter.

It is pretty cool though, when shifting you don't have to move your whole arm. Just the movement of the wrist does it.

their is a mixup here between qiuck shifter and short shifter.

as i understand a quick shifter is a mod for auto tranny that makes the shifting process faster but the short shifter is a mod for manual tranny making the shift paths of the stick much shorter (in a way both serve the same purpose)

as that correct or did i get it wrong??

They have mods for Auto trannies... no clue what they are called.
For manual transm. cars it is called quick/short shifter. Either way... go to any auto store online / ebay. They are reffered to as quick shifter or short shifter. They even mean the same thing.
