INJEN vs Weapon-R vs Swift Racing Technologies GS430 Intake

Injen is going further to DONATE THE INTAKE! I didn't even have to ask! Mr. Ron Nakajima said, "oh yeah, by the way, I'd like to help ClubLexus by donating the intake."

Now, THAT is service.

The more the merrier! So, come on over. I'll be there from 9:30am since we doing the PB dyno at 10am.

I will contact gwu128 again to find a place to eat after the dyno.

aite...cool!

This dyno event will be awesome! Of course, it is costing ClubLexus $300, but it will be awesome.

I'll think further about helping offset some of the dyno (and future) costs. If I do it, I'll get something set-up.

Eric,

Yeah, we will be there...

Just came home with the Injen intake...

I watched them make it.

Injen was nice enough to give me a tour and show me how intakes are made.

Default I can't believe it's finally gonna happen

I’ll bet the thread covering the test will set a record for views – and probably posts too. Finally, some definitive results. Mr. Nakajima of Injen gets an “attaboy” for his gesture. I hope that all members remember which manufacturers participated and which didn’t.

By all rights, the Injen should be at a disadvantage against the SRT – without the ecu – but should be a direct comparison to the Weapon assuming the WR isn’t ecu’d. Ought to be interesting – I’m jazzed!

Personally, I’m just as interested in how the results stack up against the manufacturer’s claims as which unit might produce the highest hp/torque improvement. The test ought to establish some credibility (or lack thereof) that we can use to measure future claims by the three companies.

Wish I could be there with you guys – have a Corona for me!

Here are some facts:

It will be recorded on videotape!

Manaray and Gwu128 will swap ECU's since Manaray doesn't want to solder anything on to his ECU

Dyno order:

1) Baseline dyno
2) Injen intake
3) Weapon-R intake
4) Swift Racing Technologies intake
5) Swift Racing Technologies intake with piggy back ECU

What gear we doing this in? I'm not sure yet...I think third or maybe fourth.

Why didn't you post it ahead of time? I can ditch school tomorrow! Who cares about computer system modeling class anyway. Have fun you guys.

Will, please ask Manaray about my TOM'S sticker that he promised long time ago.
