R2C intake dyno'd ... ever?

Methodical4u · 07-26-2011, 10:16 PM

Ok, I emailed R2C about their intake. I don't want to post what I got in return from them until I have their permission to share it... I feel they deserve a chance to state their case and then I will ask them if they approve. I will say that they responded quick and that he didn't try to blow smoke. I will quote this part of his email.

"We were able to bring total restriction down by almost half when
replacing the factory intakes and the corresponding gains in power were
reasonable"

I was impressed that he didn't try to sell me on them fake massive power like some companies would do.

Cool, I respect that as well. I'm really starting to lean toward these as opposed to just adding post maf tubes to my setup. Before I take the plunge, I'm really hoping to see some before/after dynos though. If/when I add them, I'll bring them down to HP logic in WPB, do a before dyno there, then have them add them and then an after dyno with an updated UpRev tune to maximize power/air fuel ratio etc. I'm already tuned including the drop ins so it'll be a before/after comparo.

I did ask if they could email me a copy of the dyno charts vs a baseline run.

Whatever intake I get, i'm going to run the fang plumbing.

If you get those dyno runs from him, pls let us know what the results were. No fang plumbing option for my Z unfortunately, since it's a Nismo or I'd be right there with you.

I'm hoping these R2Cs can give most of the top end benefit of the G3's with all of the low and mid range gains of the drop ins/PMTs.

Hopefully he gets back to me tomorrow... he got back to me pretty quick today, but I just checked my email... i'll try to check it tomorrow earlier.
