Stoked! After waiting a few months after letting K&N use my car for R&D they have developed a Typhoon intake for the car. Took the car in last Friday to let them test the fitting and make an instruction manual. I just got it back with the intake on as everything fit. Looks great and I can definitely feel the difference. Sounds good too. The gains were 12 hp and 14 tq. Will post pics and the dyno later tonight. The engineer said it should be on the market in about a month btw.

I really like the fitment it's very secure and does not rub on anything.







Here are the dyno sheets.

need data logs

 

Pictures or it didn't happen.

 

Where are you in so cal I want to see this!!

 

few months??? damn... injen took 2 days with mine...

 

The real question is will it screw with the MAF, do you need to have the car tuned for the intake? Or will it bolt on with no issues. I have the Hahn intake and it was the root of all my problems.

 

12hp/14tq isn't to bad, whats the price look like?

 

Need logs of the fuel trims.

 

Thank you Jesus!!!

 

X2. The diameter of the intake as well.

 

Oh man this totally reminds me that AEM called me to help them fix their intake lol I need to call them.

 

They need to get rid of that huge piece of silicone. The car runs much better and no more surging with the stock elbow going to the turbo.

 

Oh it happened. ^^

I'm in Victorville.

Two days for R&D and you even drove off with the intake?

It's bolted on. No tune. We'll see if I throw a code but so far so good.

The engineer did not know the price or if it was even set yet.

 

Me likey!!!! A month!?!?! Damn...guess I won't be asking for THAT for Xmas...

It would be nice to see some logs though and get a little more info on the diameter and other specs on this thing. It looks **** and FINALLY a company with half a brain makes a SRI WITH A HEAT SHIELD!!!!

 

Heat shield? I did datalogging on my car with a CAI and a open-air SRI, and IAT's (pre-intercooler) were very close when moving. The only time IAT's got hot was sitting at a light or in a drive through, but even then IAT2's were almost exactly the same with either. So I'm not impressed by a heat shield, other than it looks good.

 

Eh...they may not do much but I'm sure they do something...plus they make it look cleaner overall...just an open filter with no surroundings or anything and a filter just chilling there able to bounce around at will makes me feel kind of...honda-ish for some reason...don't ask me why.

Either way I'm sure this product will not disappoint...I mean K&N has A LOT of experience with quality intakes on A LOT of cars...but we'll have to see how it reacts to some proper tuning.

 

looks good so far, just need some logs! :thumbs:

 

a cold air box would be best but I'd say a heat shield can help a little if it seals to the hood and around the intake.

 

/shifty

 

Very interested to see how this performs...

 

What good would logs do on a untuned car?? The trims are off, end discussion lol..

 

fuel trims, not that it matters anyways since you'll be tuning the car for the intake if you go for a custom tune

Edit: I guess people wanna see HOW much they're off from the factory box. No sense in getting an intake if you aren't going to get tuned for it

 

Which stands regardless. There is no intake out there that produces perfect results out of the box. And if you get an intake, it will learn down, so you will need a tune to take advantage of it anyway..

 

um well many people are getting the GM stage 1 kit...so it would be worth it to know :P

 

How could I forget about the Turbo Upgrade kit... lol...
