Mines - Intake Air Scoop Type II Set, Dry Carbon |
RCZ, Great write up and impressive results.
But I must say, these results were somewhat confounding based on your earlier dynos. You said that when you dyno'd with no filters, you saw no gains. Suggesting that air flow through the filter was not a limiting factor. Now however, you see 15-20HP gains with the long tubes. If the filters truly make no difference in HP gains, then we are led to believe that 20HP gains are to be made by rerouting the air to the throttle body through these tubes rather than the stock airboxes? Is the stock airbox design that poor/restrictive? :confused: Promising gains regardless of where they came from. I don't care if its some STILLEN black magic trick. This is a significant step toward the 300HP N/A mark. |

Water becomes an issue when you're submerging the filter, and revving the engine.. if you submerge the filters at the level they are and gun it, you're trying to drive through a river.. and that's not going to work on many levels. Also the filter location being where it is versus down near the road also helps maximize the cool air pickup.. air coming off asphalt in any sort of warm weather can really effect the intake air charge.. |

Knight,
the Intakes on the Z seem to be covered up in the front by the bumper and the metal bar plus foam. on the G37, it's right in front of the grille and ppl drove it in the rain, nothing bad happened. Just dont floor it while it's raining heavily. there was only a little piece of plastic protecting the filters. if the G survived, i;m sure the Z can manage as well or even better. |

i agree with josh with the water issue... as added note, if you decide to install the scoops you can also place it somewhat indirectly from the intake filters to have more confidence that it would not get water damage or get extremely soaked... :twocents: however, after rethinking about the location of the filter in relation to the front fascia/bumper and chassis/foam, imo it will actually suck air from underneath the car or the air coming off the asphalt that is bouncing off the radiator... i cant find anywhere other paths the cold air can come in at...as such, i am thinking that if it is hot outside/at the track, this CAI will actually not be sucking cold air in... which kind of goes against what josh is saying and gives more reason to get the scoops... my problem with this is that i dont like the scoops... so i think if stillen is in development of a front fascia body kit for the z... i think they should put in consideration to establishing better in flow coming from the top of the car/bumper... with that, i believe the 15-20hp gains will be easier to foresee... ( OORRRR ... just take out the foam that is blocking the air... but am no mechanic/engineer, which means i am not quite sure what the impact would be to the car)... ... all this thoughts will probably be answered after SEMTEX's dyno results... -Semtex, just in case my thoughts hold water... i think you should bring your shotgun and use it to put holes on your bumper and re-dyno the car... :tup: |

I believe that styrofoam block is actually part of the crash structure. Like it's there to absorb energy in the event of a collision, so taking it out probably isn't a good idea. As for the shotgun, I'll give it some serious consideration. :bowrofl:

Big Thank You! RCZ
Nice Posting and information/pictures for the intakes.
I'm sold. Good stuff :tup: |
Hmm have a couple questions.
1) After install would be recommended to reset the ECU? 2) Is a tune necessary or beneficial after this mod i.e. will you see even more gains after a tune? |
