The pressure at the plenum/iris is one thing, but the cfm across the entire system is another. The stock intake does a poor job FLOWING, but has a relatively low pressure drop across the air filter. I speculate that the "ribs" or stretch section do the most damage. |

And what hood is this, Bill?

Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread
Interested... Was there benefit or detriment under 4200RPM? Resonance doesn't discriminate, and MAF technology hasn't changed much. I'd really like to see some dyno action from the other end of the RPM spectrum, which has been proven to suffer from this sort of mod in other applications.

Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread
I'll post up some dyno results this summer when I head over to MASE Engineering. I have no problem swapping parts on a dyno day!
I have to get that 3rd pedal I have been wanting and finally a Hydra ECU before then. On another note, after my recent mods (see my thread in the general section) and a good dose of seafoam I can finally feel a distinct step in power when I get on it from a standing start.

You are correct. I actually borrowed Mychailo's instrumentation when I did my instrumented runs. -Bill p.s. the hood is a classic glass fiberglass piece. fingers crossed that I won't have to do any cutting, but I have my doubts

Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread
So what's the story with the "scorpion" intake? Will it do anything the tomyx style intake wouldn't do? Regardless, that looks really badass dude. I could see something like that pulling air from a filter under a hoodscoop. I wonder what that would do in terms of power.

Bill, with some solid mounts we could drop your engine 2" for a lower center of gravity AND more hood clearance! Less angle in the driveshaft as well! BTW, phone broken?

Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread
OK I finally got around to taking a few more pictures of my CAI
This is what it looks like now The line going to the valve cover is the breather, I removed the pcv system and replaced it with a breather filter and this line was apparently venting to atmosphere. I started getting fumes in the car |
