Does the Intake Chamber for GE8 add power?

No. Spoon presents the chamber as a finish upgrade and publishes no dyno figure for it, so BA quotes none. The intake chamber for GE8 keeps the shape of the resin part it is based on, which means airflow and the factory tune are untouched. Owners who want measurable gains should look at intake and throttle parts instead.

What is the difference between the Red and Yellow versions?

The red is a textured crinkle coat that matches the cam covers on Honda Type R engines, so it looks like a part Honda could have fitted. The yellow is the bright Spoon colour seen on the smooth aluminium valve covers Spoon sells. Both are applied by Spoon to the same resin chamber and both cost the same.

Will it fit a US Fit Sport?

Yes. The US Fit sold from the 2009 to 2013 model years is the GE8 with the same 1.5 litre L15A engine that Spoon registers, and Go Tuning, the sole US distributor for Spoon, sells this chamber for those cars. Spoon lists manual and CVT cars, so the gearbox makes no difference.

Is fitting the chamber a home garage job?

Yes, for an owner comfortable removing the intake plumbing and throttle connections on the L15A. The chamber is a direct replacement for the factory part, so no cutting is involved. Use new intake gaskets, torque the fasteners evenly to the Honda figure and check for vacuum leaks before the first drive.

How durable is the painted finish?

Spoon applies the coat itself with a process it developed for plastic engine bay parts, and the crinkle texture in particular hides light handling marks well. Treat it as you would a painted cam cover: avoid harsh degreasers, clean it with mild soap and water, and keep fuel and brake fluid off the surface.

Description

Spoon Sports Intake Chamber for GE8 Honda Fit

The Spoon Sports Intake Chamber for GE8 Honda Fit gives the second-generation Fit RS the engine-bay signature of a Spoon car: the resin intake chamber of the 1.5-litre L15A, coated by Spoon using its own process in either a red crinkle finish matched to Honda Type R engines or in Spoon Yellow. Spoon has built, raced and serviced Hondas since 1988, and these two colours are its visual shorthand, the red tied to Type R heritage and the yellow to the smooth aluminium valve covers Spoon is known for. Spoon makes no power claim for it. It suits an owner restoring or presenting a GE8 to a high standard, where the plenum is the largest single surface under the bonnet; for a car built purely for lap times, the money is better spent elsewhere.

Design and Finish

Spoon describes the finish as a special technique applied to a resin chamber. The red reproduces the textured crinkle coat Honda uses on Type R cam covers, so it reads as factory rather than aftermarket. The yellow is the same hue Spoon uses across its own dress-up parts. Spoon lists the GE8 chamber at 2 kg and ships it in a 25 x 46 x 17 cm carton.

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.
