R2C Intake, any independent dyno results yet?

drisko · 09-20-2009, 10:49 PM

I'm thinking about getting this intake really soon, and I just wanted to hear what kind of power gains people are actually getting from it.

Anyone have this installed and want to dyno it ?

ya do it

nogoodname · 09-21-2009, 02:52 PM

do it.. needs to be done

I would love to dyno my car, but I live in NE Ohio and there are no Dynos in this part of the country.

**Update** Recently moved to Georgia, so when I'm all settled I will go to Forged and do a Dyno run

I'm bumping this thread because I REALLY want to see numbers off these intakes

I really want to like these intakes, but I am still concerned about the amount of hot air it will suck in as the heat sheilds still allow for some under hood hot air to enter the filters...

I've seen the dyno run that shows the R2C making the same peak power as the Stillen G3. While this may very well be representative of actual performance, I don't think a dyno is a good test for a CAI. Measuring IAT vs ambient while driving seems to be more meaningful. 5 to 10 degrees above ambient has been achieved with either system, especially when coupled with fang vents. The quality of the filtration is much better with the R2C as is ease of access and install. On this board the Stillen G3 seems quite popular where the R2C is more favored with the G37 crowd. I'm going to measure IAT with the stock intake first, then do fang vents and measure again. If I get IAT's 5 to 10 degrees above ambient then the stock intake will work for me. Otherwise I'll try the R2C mainly because of its superior filtration capabilities. My 370Z should be here in a few weeks.

I think you mean ABOVE ambient...Easy mistake unless you have a refrigerated intake system going there!

On IAT's this may be interesting..

Zpirate just got a new 370 and swapped his Scangauge over from his 350. IAT's wit the stock box running approx 10-12 degrees over ambient when rolling

Some data on the Takeda (typical open element) had the owner reporting 20-25 over ambient.

Stillen G3's report 5-10 degrees over ambient.

My custom intake with fang vents are showing about the same 5-10 over

Typical open elements can and will spike to 150 degrees on a warm day in traffic. Fang vents pull those temps down very quickly though.

A stock system with Fang Vents would probably be an excellent combination

I think the best we can reasonably expect to see is around 5 degrees over.. Unfortunately we have no information that would tell us at what temps the car starts pulling timing..
I really think filtration has little to do with power made. A LARGE part of it is done with MAF tube tricks and general flow improvements.

KEVTEX · 12-07-2009, 10:41 AM

Obviously I meant to say above ambient(edited to reflect correction). Maybe we could route an AC line around a coil on each intake to get 20 degrees below ambient. We used to ice down our intake manifolds right before a run at the dragstrip years ago.
My concern about filtration is for engine wear and longevity rather than max horsepower.

Zsteve · 12-07-2009, 04:57 PM

Im staying stock box with K&Ns and will do the vent DIY when if I ever have to take bumber off. Like Modshack says that should be about as good as the G3 and others like it. Maybe a few HP less but alot less $$$ too and wont have to take bumber off the clean filters. Even tho they say you can go so many thousands of miles without cleaning the filters I have found that even after a couple of months open filters get dirty and will affect intake flow so you will ahve to clean them regularly and Im not into taking my bumber off every couple months.
