Also, aren't you blocking air flow to the radiator?

Here is one. I never could locate the Nismo one again. I spent a few hours looking at one point several months back. Their numbers were even more dramatic.

There is tons of room for airflow to the oil cooler and radiator. The angle of the picture is a bit deceiving. You'll have no issues with cooling with this product. I will get some better photos up tonight.

I didn't see where this was ever answered, but I'm assuming it's not a problem since it wasn't addressed. I'm planning to switch intakes in a couple months and may add this to the list if all is well.

Not at all. There is plenty of room for cooling the condenser and radiator.
6-8"T X 24-26"W going straight to the pair. The bottom of the air guide only comes down as far as the tow hook and then shoots up at a very steep incline just after it passes the tow hook. Plus, some aftermarket oil coolers and FMIC's completely take up the fresh air and they still run them.

We also may develop an additive guide to push more air into the oil cooler and radiator/condenser as well in the near future. I have had no reports of overheating or increased operation temperatures.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

I beat on my Z pretty good at ZDayZ and didn’t have any cooling issues. I’m also running a 25 row oil cooler that partially blocks the radiator too - still no issues.

For some reason it won't let me paste the link here. I did find the motoiq article comparing bumper on and off dump runs with The whp figures mentioned

Chuck33079 · 02-07-2018, 08:19 AM

Yeah, i tracked it down with what you posted. Still, there's hundreds of dynos on this site alone showing power gains in line with what the manufacturer quoted, and I haven't heard that people are taking their bumpers off for the dyno.

Zoren 370 · 02-07-2018, 09:47 AM

Its must be designed by NASA or McLaren to cost that much!

More cost more power? That must be the business model.

Trips · 02-07-2018, 10:03 AM

Lets not go off the deep end here guys.

Give the vendor a chance

I personally like the idea now will it make a BIG difference probably not. imo

Installing an air deflector to divert air specifically to the intakes should be of some benefit as others have done this like BMW for instance.

Sooo lets not totally shoot the idea out of the water as not having any benefit.

Oh and Welcome Joe@DewlaDez

That's fine, but people should really show their work before they start throwing around claims like they did.

I agree, let's give Joe a chance to get the independent dyno results from the shops he listed (Specialty Z, Z1 Motorsports, Concept Z Performance, Houston Z, and MotoIQ) before we jump to any conclusions. I also don't think he's trying to call out current CAI manufactures and their claimed numbers or anything like that. I think he's just trying to let everybody know what he's working on.

Innovation is always welcome in book, especially on the N/A side of things. Sub'd for future dyno results.

SS_Firehawk · 02-07-2018, 10:07 AM

It would be nice to see some results honestly. I'm not against the product. Pricing seems a bit optimistic, but it's something new.
