R2C intake dyno'd ... ever?

Methodical4u · 07-24-2011, 02:27 AM

Yes I have searched on both here and on google, but never found anything... just curious if anyone here has these and if they have had the car on the dyno? It looks like quite a nice set-up... especially if you put some fang vents to it.

That's because they're for the G37 but can fit the 370Z. Browse through G37 forums and there's plenty of dyno's on it.

Methodical4u · 07-24-2011, 09:40 PM

Not to be a jerk but a G37 is not a 370z... the G37 with that intake yields similar results as the Stillen G3's which no SRI set-up has done on the 370z's yet. Please just simply don't answer if you don't know what the answer is.

Nikkolai · 07-25-2011, 07:37 AM

Not sure what answer you're looking for since no one has these in the 370Z and dyno'ed it. Or maybe I should've said that in the first place? The G37 share the same engine so not sure why you'd say a G37 isn't the same as a 370Z but main difference would probably be the aerodynamics of the front bumpers and how either one takes in air. Sorry I couldn't answer your question because I've tried looking into this before when I was looking for a Stillen long tube alternative.

I was on R2C's website and it looked like they had an intake model specifically for the 370z.

I'm also interested in any dynos on this intake and if it's worth it over just dropins and post maf tubes.

Personally, I'm skeptical that any sri will be worth the $$ but I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think the gains would be worth it... SUPPOSEDLY the G37's get the same power as the Stillen... but we're talking about a completely different car as far as air flow and such.

oh no big deal man... I wasn't trying to come off like a jerk... it is the same, but yeah the aero of the Z seems to make a difference when it comes to the different intakes. I wish they would make the same power, since it seems it would save a bit more install work and it really is a nice looking intake set up.

It looks like it's made of chrome as well. Can't remember where on the forum I read it, but I believe it was proven that chrome absorbed and retained more heat from the engine than other materials. That, to me, would be a detriment to performance. Looks nice though.

I still think that for the money, you really can't go wrong with the HPS, Mishi, or Z1 tubes and good filter.

Now, having said that, someone go buy the R2 and do a dyno to prove me wrong!

Rooskey · 07-26-2011, 12:11 AM

If im looking at the correct website (R2Cperformance.com) the 370z and g37 share the same part #. It looks just like the K&N Typhoon to me. BTW a guy on myg37 is about to post up before and after dyno results.

the cars are NOT the same the way the air flows... I don't know whats so hard to understand about that?

Not trying to be an a$$ but what does airflow have to do with a car sitting still on dyno. There is no airflow.

Rooskey · 07-26-2011, 01:51 AM

Ok just got the results. Dude did three pulls before and after with about 3hrs in between. He stated that he did do some interestate driving between so the ecu could compensate. Only previous mod was berks hfc's. Average between all pulls before (263hp, 234tq) and after (276hp, 241tq). So basically he gained 13hp and 7tq.

have you been to many dynos? They usually have air moving to SIMULATE going down the road bro.

That's pretty damn good for an SRI honestly. The big ? is 1. will a 370z alos see similar gains and 2. are these gains any better than drop ins and post maf tubes?

Still intrigued by these R2Cs...

jpit · 07-26-2011, 05:48 PM

I have the R2Cs but have never dynoed them by themselves. I have the Modshack vent mod and often monitor the air intake temp and it is usually about 8 degrees above ambient temp so the vent is doing its job. It is very hard to duplicate airflow on a dyno even with large capacity fans. When the G3 was originally tested by a well-respected tuner there was a significant difference in the power produced with the bumper cover off and when it was on. I am skeptical of dyno results on intakes because you cannot reproduce highway driving and the ecu is very tempermental with rising intake temps.
