Custom Turbo Inlet-Fits Like Stock!
- Thread starter Speedy3
- Start date
Some speculate its due to the LEAN condition at the low RPM band when the boost hits and the fuel system can not instantly supply fuel.
Solution to this is Mrlilguy's CDFP...it will help. More fueling/tuning solutions are getting nearer.
Others say its just the motor is too weak. As long as you stay away from the 350 HP mark, you'll be fine. But everyone is recommending that we need to change the rods!!!
Blowing a hole through my bloack would be the biggest nightmare ever!!
I included AFR in my log to show you on spool up its safe!
the log is done from 4th gear 1500rpm WOT to max rpm to give MAX load on the motor.. i dont see a lean condition do you ?? I would definatly do some homework on how your motor is running b4 doing ANY mod thats always good advice.

Thats not fair...you're tuned!!! I'm talking about with stock OEM tune.
I will flash back to my stock tune and do a log tonight !!! you will see no difference fuel is not added in the lower RPM, ill also do a cobb stage 2 + sf as well.. Read around you will find defect aside 90% of blown motors have an inteceptor style tune. Im not saying its the cause just my observation is all.
Again this mod is NOT introducing more AIR into the intake charge. Simply causing the turbo to have a little less stress due to smoother flow.

correction CFM(Cubic feet per minute by volume) is everything to a FI motor
Turbo upgrade would benifit from a larger inlet.

Yes by volume (amount) I thought by "flow" you ment turbulent or smooth air......Sorry... A larger inlet would we able to "flow" more air but would hardly fit. Speedy and crew did a good job an in my opinion its a great supporting mod ! When you remove the stock inlet and see it you will say "WTF"

I thought the way to get to get maximum performance from a Turbo, was to feed the dragon all it was able to chew and let nothing restrict the exhaust, period. I would think your piece would assist that, more cfm creates the opportunity to throw more fuel at her and that with correct spark will make us faster!
It would assist IF it were a larger Diameter!
I think whats happening in this case is that the air from this inlet is smoother, thus allowing the turbo less effort to make its boost targets. So we see commanded boost hit it's target sooner.(drunk) lol
I designed this inlet for myself to fit well, yet provide a conservative amount of better airflow. More precisely, more efficient, less turbulent flow. It really isn't dramatically big like the 3". The area inside is close to the area of the stock inlet, just round instead of rectangular. Plus the stocker has a bunch of ripples and a huge pinch point before the turbo. Rectangular pipes are less efficient for delivering airflow, so a rectangular pipe must be larger to accomodate the same airflow and pressure drop as a round pipe. A rectangular pipe has more surface area inside, therefore more resistance to the airflow.
1" square pipe area: 1 sq inch
1" square pipe perimeter: 4"
1.128" round pipe area: 1 sq inch
1.128" round pipe circumference: 3.545"

Yes circle, tube and sphere have the most interior volume for their surface area.
That's the whole idea behind:
Actually, that has no flow efficiency requirement. It is round for strength. It's a storage tank; apples to oranges...(no)
I am talking about a tube passing a fluid.
Thanks! I like mine too! I like that I can actually hear the turbo spooling too. I just need to get my DP back on now!
No problems installing it?
Install CD and instructions were great. I took my time double checking everything. I had to pull the battery box back out to make clearance between the inlet pipe and the box and still only spent 1 hour on the install.
It does make a nice sound now and seems to have some more power in the lower RPM's. The ECU is still learning since I only have about 5 driving cycles on it. I really appreciate you spending your time to get this produced. They turned out a really high quality piece.
