Will the HPS Intake Kit for CU4 Acura TSX cars fit the four-cylinder TSX?

No. HPS lists part number 827-701 for the 2010-2014 Acura TSX 3.5L V6 only, in Base, V6 and V6 Tech trims. The 2009-2014 TSX 2.4L takes HPS kit 827-738, so four-cylinder owners need that kit rather than this Intake Kit for CU4 Acura TSX V6 cars.

How much does the intake add on the J35Z6?

HPS lists gains of 9.4 whp and 8.9 ft-lbs from its own dyno testing of part number 827-701. Those are wheel figures, so they read lower than a crank horsepower claim would. Results on any single car will vary with its condition and other modifications.

Are special tools needed to install it?

No. HPS describes the kit as easy to install with simple hand tools and states that no modification is required. The stock air box comes out, and the heat shield, aluminum tube, silicone hose and filter go in with the supplied T-bolt clamps, mounting hardware and instructions.

What is included in the kit?

HPS supplies a 3 inch aircraft grade aluminum intake tube, a powder coated steel heat shield, a washable and reusable HPS air filter, high temperature reinforced silicone hose, stainless steel T-bolt clamps, mounting hardware and installation instructions. The kit replaces the stock air box as one assembly.

Can the air filter be cleaned?

Yes. HPS supplies a washable and reusable air filter with the kit, so it is cleaned and refitted rather than replaced. HPS does not set a cleaning interval for it; checking the filter at each oil change and washing it when dirt is visible suits a daily-driven TSX.

HPS Cold Air Intake Kit for CU4 Acura TSX 3.5L V6

HPS’s Cold Air Intake Kit for CU4 Acura TSX 3.5L V6 cars built from 2010 to 2014 trades the stock air box for a 3 inch aircraft grade aluminum tube feeding the J35Z6, with a powder coated steel heat shield around a washable HPS filter. On the HPS dyno, part number 827-701 added 9.4 whp and 8.9 ft-lbs. It is a sensible pick for the V6 owner who wants a bolt-on that goes in with hand tools and no modification.

Design and Performance

As a short ram, the kit keeps its filter in the engine bay and relies on the steel shield to block engine heat. A gain under ten horsepower shows up more as a change in response than in lap times, so treat it as a first bolt-on for the J35Z6 rather than a substitute for a tune or bigger changes.

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.
