Does the Intake Chamber for ZF1 fit the later ZF2 car?

Yes. Spoon registers the intake chamber for ZF1 alpha cars built from February 2010 to August 2012 and for the ZF2 1.5 alpha Dressed Label from September 2012. Go Tuning, the sole US distributor for Spoon, sells it for the 2010 to 2016 model year CR-Z, which covers the US cars.

Will it fit a CVT CR-Z?

Spoon lists only 6-speed manual cars in its fitment for this chamber, so BA cannot confirm the CVT version. The engine family is shared, which makes a difference in the part unlikely, but Spoon has not registered it. Owners of a CVT car should ask BA to check with Go Tuning first.

Is this a performance part?

No. Spoon offers the chamber for its looks and publishes no gain for it. The internal passages follow the resin part it is based on, so the hybrid system and engine calibration see nothing different. Spoon makes a separate Venturi Big Throttle Body and camshaft kit for owners who want more response.

Which finish ages better?

Both are durable coatings applied by Spoon rather than a spray can. The red crinkle texture is the more forgiving of the two because it hides light scuffs and fingerprints from service work. Spoon Yellow is a smooth bright colour, so it shows grime sooner and rewards regular gentle cleaning.

Can a CR-Z owner fit it at home?

Yes, with basic tools and some patience. The intake ducting, throttle body, sensors and vacuum lines move from the factory plenum to the Spoon chamber in the same positions. Replace the gaskets, tighten fasteners evenly and confirm a steady idle with no warning lights before the car goes back in use.

Description

Spoon Sports Intake Chamber for ZF1 / ZF2 Honda CR-Z

The Spoon Sports Intake Chamber for ZF1 and ZF2 Honda CR-Z replaces the plain black plenum of the hybrid coupe with the same resin chamber finished by Spoon in red crinkle or Spoon Yellow. The CR-Z was Honda’s attempt at a light, manual hybrid in the CR-X tradition, and Spoon treated it as a sports car, developing throttle, camshaft and chassis parts for it alongside this dress-up item. The finish is applied by Spoon itself with a process designed for plastic engine parts, the red echoing Type R cam covers and the yellow matching Spoon valve covers. There is no performance claim attached. It is worth fitting on a CR-Z kept as a cherished manual coupe; on a car that is only a commuter, the money buys more as a throttle or suspension upgrade.

Finish and Fitment

Spoon applies the coating to a 2 kg resin chamber shipped in a 43.5 x 29 x 20.5 cm carton. It registers the part for the early ZF1 alpha and the later ZF2 1.5 alpha Dressed Label, both with the 6-speed manual, so the change of model code in 2012 does not affect fitment.

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.
