He did. He started a new thread -> STILLEN Longtube G3 Intakes. Review, Dyno and Impressions.

Sorry about the spotlight Ben. I think you're going to get it back pretty soon though

sorry i didnt know lol

FYI to anyone waiting for my dyno results. I have set up two dyno appointments for Wednesday afternoon -- one back at Forged (which uses a Dyno Dynamics dyno), and one at a shop that has a DynoJet dyno, so that we can compare the numbers between these two types of dyno. Stay tuned!

alan93rsa · 03-30-2009, 04:52 PM

That will be interesting information.

ChrisSlicks · 03-30-2009, 05:11 PM

Excellent!

BTW your post count has turned evil.

semtex · 04-01-2009, 02:31 PM

Folks, I just got back from my session at Forged Performance. The gains from the G3 intakes over and above the 291.7whp I was already making with just the exhaust and HFCs is um...significant. Sorry for the tease, but I'm about to go do another dyno session on a DynoJet so that we can get comparative numbers, and I want to post them up together later this evening. For now, I will just say that I am solidly into the 300's.

ChrisSlicks · 04-01-2009, 02:35 PM

Sweet!

You're such a tease

I can't wait

ENT-Z · 04-01-2009, 05:02 PM

This is great news! Bring on the data!

semtex · 04-01-2009, 05:33 PM

Okay guys, here are the results.

First, here's the dyno I did a couple of weeks ago on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. Max = 291.7whp. My only mods were the Stillen cat-back exhaust and the Berk HFCs.

Here's today's dyno, back on the same dyno, with the addition of the Stillen G3 intakes. Max = 306.4whp.

Net gain = 14.7whp. (In case any of you are wondering why the gain is lower than RCZ's, keep in mind that I already have exhaust mods in place, whereas RCZ was running the stock exhaust setup. It is normal for gains on individual components to diminish as they are combined with other mods.)

For comparative purposes, I also went and got a dyno on a DynoJet. The DynoJet run was performed about 2.5 hours after the Dyno Dynamics run. No change to ambient temperature, but my oil was running about 20 degrees hotter from driving across town. Not sure if 20 degrees is going to make much difference, but I figure I may as well mention it.

Here's the DynoJet chart. Max = 321.3whp. So if we want to use this data as guidance for future comparisons between the two brands of dyno, we can say that Dyno Dynamics numbers come in lower than DynoJet numbers by approximately 4.6%. We can also say that to convert a DD number to a DJ number, apply a multiplier of 1.0486 to the DD number to get an approximate DJ number. (But take this guidance with a grain of salt. I'm beginning to think that there's really no way to get a standard multiplication factor that is accurate most of the time. There's just too many variables. For example, I think the multiplication factor depends on the amount of HP the car has, which means that the multiplier that holds true for a 300hp car is different than that which holds true for, say, a 200hp car.)

I know, blah blah blah . . . show us the freakin' graph already, right? :stfu:

I took video. I will post the video later tonight.

Don't forget the rep points, people!

ChrisSlicks · 04-01-2009, 05:52 PM

+1 Rep

Great results. So basically around 50 horsepower gain on the DD at the wheels with HFC/cat back and intakes. Fantastic!

You don't have the Headers on yet right?

semtex · 04-01-2009, 05:53 PM

Right, no headers yet. No tune yet either -- we should be able to get even more out of this with a tune.

ChrisSlicks · 04-01-2009, 05:59 PM

By my math you are making close to 400hp at the crank right now, pretty cool.

Too bad the headers are such a PITA to install. I think I'm just going to do the HFC's, exhaust and intake and be happy. Oh, and oil cooler obviously.

mattkim85 · 04-01-2009, 06:00 PM

^^^^ Holy crap

that is a huge gain over stock!
do you feel a significant difference?

oh and BTW thanks for all the HARD work your putting in!
