AEM dyno

so dont get an intake if you dont want one. point taken.

all i know is that when i installed my injen i noticed a BIG difference and no it wasnt just the placebo affect or "it sounds" faster.

i called the number, they dont know pricing yet.

the sales guy i spoke with said a hard pipe kit was also in development...........

AEM_Tech: Not sure if you are aware of this but.....there is a turkey noise in the MSP when shifting at high RPMs usually, and research and found that this is from backpressure built up that is hitting the turbo....i dont remember exactly what the issue is here nor do i claim to, but suffice to say, the turkey noise can be killed, the backpressure aleviated, and the desireable "pssst" noise created by adding a BOV close to the throttle body in addition to the stock bypass valve in its stock location.

Is it possible that you could incorporate this into your hardpipe kit so that it is ready to accept a BOV in the approporiate location as well as the bpv in the stock location?

here is a thread for more info on it

I've seen THREE different msp's dynoed with no gain from the Injen.

Oh and heres some info about AEM and the stuff they sell.

Wow you really are a skeptic.

As for that TPR test...
How can you dyno from sun up to sun down and have consistent results?

How can you dyno a car that had a CEL and was 2 quarts low on oil, and needed a tuneup?

How can a 2 man operation not fatigue while dyno'g that many intakes?

As for what a skeptic you are, I'm sure I can arrange dyno time at that same dyno TPR used and you can get your car dyno'd. How about if the kit doesn't make power you get free dyno time? But if it does you have to pay for the dyno time and the intake :o

Obviously you didn't quite understand what I typed. Let me spell it out for you.

Step 1: AEM_Tech provides phone # to call and get info
Step 2: 03MSPRO calls said phone # to get price and details
Step 3: 03MSPRO posts all his wonderful new-found knowledge on this forum
Step 4: Everyone is happy

Did you ever stop and think that if AEM_Tech posts this information, he could be considered liable and be held accountable by his company? Maybe he didn't want to post the info for job security. I guess that's far beyond your ability to comprehend that.

If I worked as a tech person for a company, I would not quote prices or availability of a product. If I misstated something, I could jeopardize my job.


And yes I like cookies, but don't accept them from strangers.

Now stop your bitching and just call if you are so damn interested...or wait a day and someone else will.

I forgot this is just a sue-happy country. Liable and accountable for what? If the information is already available, then all he has to do is pass it on.
Like I said before, just go away. I have no respect for people that insult other people w/out even knowing them.

I've dyno'd an Injen intake and it does make power.

did the car have any other mods?

I was also told by someone that the Injen showed no gains on the dyno on a stock MSP at stock boost levels.

But I think after opening up the exhaust, it should make power. Intakes and exhaust work together. Neither one alone will show its true potential. If you are letting more air in, you also need to let more air out.
 
on a turbo car, a better flowing exhaust system will gain more horsepower over an intake modification. turbos hate backpressure
 
If I could believe AEM or Injen's dyno, I would buy either intake in a heart beat!!! 12 whp for ~$250 is not little gain!!! But I would hate wating my hard working money for hype, sound and looks alone. I want HP!! Also, cleaning the filter would be a PITA for no gains.
If someone will send me an intake, I would personally go to the dyno and test it but I doubt that would happen so I won't spend $250 just to find out it only made 2 whp!!
 
i still cant believe people on this board believe dyno results from the manufacturers, its the same thing as companies saying their dick pills make your dong bigger. Independent testing is the only way to see if products have any worth.

Those pills don't work?!!! :p :D :p
 
I know that they did test the injen at AEM. I gave them my car with the injen installed so that they could make something with more gains then it. I hope those are the dyno numbers for my car though.. I like it..
 
The problem with Turbo cars isn't the temperature of the intake, but the flow of the exhaust. The intake is going to get heated up by the turbine anyways. The IC will bring it back down again. Yes, on paper, the lower the temperature, the better. However, I think this CAI thing is more of a placebo than something that makes a real difference. (nana)

Spicy1390 that was your car :)

Anything to help out the temps will be noticable, however the biggest gain for the system seemed to be the direct flow into the turbo itself rather than all the neckdowns and 180 degree rollercoaster accordian tubing.
 
Thats good to know... I guess my car has a little power then. I agree with AEM though. Any drop in temp no matter where it takes place is good. The intercoolers in our car are weak, and need all the help they can get. If you went to a larger front mount I think it would not matter at all which intake..
 
^^^^^---
AEM_Tech,
So the SRI will be the BEST gain for our system despite underhood temps?? this is what I gather from what you typed.?
