what? because its an intake, not a supercharger.

This is just a regular hood sealed intake, lets not go crazy here. I concern myself with intake temperature because it's well known that cooler more dense air packs a better punch.

Newsflash: part of the reason those 300 dollar "name brand" intakes dont put out the power they claim is because they've got no heat shielding or inadequately so. They are more concerned with costs over design.

So yeah, I guess you could say I was concerned with matching the performance of the heat shielding from the stock system and the gains from smooth flow WITH sound from the open filter types. Its a hybrid system, and it works beautifully.

 

Nice gain let's race

 

looking forward to the final product and price =)

 

its about time!

so did you ditch the whole a/c air filter box thingy?

 

I wouldnt say I ditched it, just shelved (literally) for now. It just isnt marketable, and thats what I was really going for.

 

Very good results for just an intake.
Congrats mate.

 

thanks, hows the mapecu doin for ya? You've got it tuned in closed loop too huh?

 

Only open loop tuned so far.
Close loop tuning needs the AFR calibrators and i don't want to mess with the stock ECU on close loop because i might step in some other problems.
All that the MAPECU3 is doing is some timing adjustment to free up the motor at high rpm and some more fuel intercepting the MAF signals above 60% throttle.
Good thing with the MAPECU is that it has the ability to be totally inactive in closed loop leaving the signals passing through and only steps in in open loop where the stock ECU receives no feedback from the after cat sensors to adjust fuel and timing. They call it MAF intercept mode and it's a perfect match for the way our engine works.
Good enough for a 7 psi boost project.
I will post dyno results when i'm 100% ready.
I wish i could somehow use a cold air intake like the HKS S/C kit or your setup, the gains would be very noticable.

 

colder air is still colder air and colder air means less knock and more timing = more torque.

(sorry for resurrecting)

 

I understand what you're saying, but most people wouldnt just run meth injection on an untuned NA car either.

 

Excited to see a new intake out on the market! Any new info on when you can show some pics?

 

So this new intake is one-of-a-kind for our cars or is there something similar out there?

 

Intake is one of a kind. I'll be competing in Import Face Off in the all motor class this Sunday and showcasing the intake and company. I'll upload vids and pics next week.

Coincidentally, my shop is finishing up with my MAPECU3 install as well, and I'll be trying for the first 300+whp NA is350. It's looking good. I suspect I'll win the all motor class which would be all the better.

 

i want the MAPECU3 please , pm me for more info , thanks.... THE PURSUIT OF PERFORMANCE

 

Please do! Any cost idea yet?
