Does it fit under the stock hood without changes?

No. The stock hood needs partial trimming on the underside, as does the Type-S hood from the same maker, while the Type-V vented hood fits with no modification. Installation also involves trimming part of the stock bumper duct, modifying the radiator shroud and removing the black performance rod behind the beam.

Will the Tsuchinoko Air Intake for AP1 cars fit an AP2?

No. The Tsuchinoko Air Intake for AP1 cars is listed by the manufacturer and its US distributor for the 1999 to 2003 AP1 with the 2.0L F20C only. Bulletproof Automotive does not list it for the AP2, so please ask before ordering if you are unsure which chassis you have.

Is this the right version for a car with the Type-S front bumper?

No. This version is designed around the factory front bumper. Cars wearing the Type-S front bumper from the same Osaka tuner need the separate Tsuchinoko intake made for that bumper, which draws air from the front of the bumper, the most efficient intake route the manufacturer offers.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the Tsuchinoko chamber assembly, one dedicated air filter and the short parts needed for installation. A version without the secondary air and blow-by return pipes can be built to order, so tell Bulletproof Automotive when ordering if your car needs that layout.

Can I drive the car in the rain?

Yes, for everyday driving. The chamber has drain holes for water, but the manufacturer asks owners to avoid sports driving in heavy wet conditions where possible, because the duct takes its air directly from the front bumper opening and water can be drawn in with it.

J’s Racing Tsuchinoko Air Intake for AP1 Honda S2000

J’s Racing’s Tsuchinoko Air Intake for AP1 S2000s uses a duct shaped specifically for the AP1 to force fresh air in through the front bumper opening, raising the density of the charge the F20C breathes. A chamber-style housing improves filling efficiency, which the Osaka tuner credits with sharper throttle response. J’s Racing has built parts only for Hondas since 1989, and this kit works with the factory front bumper. It suits an owner chasing response who accepts some trimming of the hood underside, bumper duct and radiator shroud; for a car that must stay untouched, it is the wrong choice.

Design and Performance

J’s Racing designed the chamber around its own S2000 parts. The company’s Type-V vented hood closes over it with no modification and its strut tower bar clears it, while the stock hood and the J’s Type-S hood need some trimming on the underside. Drain holes are built into the chamber, though J’s Racing still advises against sports driving in heavy wet conditions.

Duct shaped for the AP1 draws fresh air from the bumper opening
Chamber housing raises filling efficiency for quicker response
Carbon fiber chamber, per the CFRP material listing in the US

Notes

Cars with the J’s Racing Type-S front bumper need the Type-S Tsuchinoko Intake for the AP1 S2000
Built to order in Japan, so Bulletproof Automotive confirms the lead time with J’s Racing USA when you place your order

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
