hptuners can log the car.. but you cant make edits on it, however soon enough it wont matter

 

actually you are hiding. Bry tuned my LSJ hundreds of times without any issues... and helped with my LNF once again not a single issue to report!

 

uhh ok...... do you want a cookie or something? I could give a crap if kobe bryant tuned your car. you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. i simply brought up something that happened in the past which he even admitted to if you dumbasses were paying attention. So I don't understand why everyone is trying to be a tough guy on the internet. lol why don't you drive to warrenton, mo and try being a tough guy otherwise stfu

 

Well if i would have known you when I was in Missouri i would! because you wanna be a wuss and not stand up... you will get fucked with PERIOD!

Sooo sit back... shut up.. and don't speak if you get soo offended

 

haha omg i am rolling on the floor. ok dude. don't forget your purse on the way out

 

Yes in the past ...... before you joined last month lol..... so, get hit with the ban stick and cant stay away?

 

i've got a piece of the tubing from back in the devel days, you'd be ****-shocked as to what it is.

as you can see, with most the intakes, they come with that massive silicone disaster, thats NG. however, what its really showing is the fact that your inlet side(filter) is causing to much of a pressure drop from its restriction.

 

fzn14 is the one who had the problem. you don't know the back story behind it all. all you have is hearsay from others.

if you're in the mood to start ****. you started it. this falls upon you. not me, not anyone else. you searched once. you can do it again. or you can keep fabricating more lies.

every single person at that get together knows how to get a hold of me. it falls upon them if they keep quiet about the situation with their own vehicle.

 

I have to say Bryan is a great tuner look at the hp hes making without problems.
You will always have a bad tune once in while doesnt mean you cant fix it.
I am sure Bryam would have or did fix it.

 

I will paypal your tool ass $5 if you can find factual info about "all the complaints" from "quite a bit of people".

 

 

sub'd

 

See that is what I dont really understand. The AEM filter is larger than all the other filters that come on the other intakes out there. It is 7" long 5" across and has a 3.25" opening. It shoud not create very much restriction but I guess it is enough to cause an issue with that massive silicone elbow.

 

The issue is from the low pressure area created at the turbo inlet causing the tube to collapse. Same thing happens during pump cavitation on the inlet side of a centrifugal pump. If the pressure gets too low on the inlet, the fluid vaporizes and the pump cavitates. In this case the tube is weak enough that it collapses.

This low pressure area is what draws the air in the intake filter.

The turbo sux!

 

That is what I thought too. I deal with pump systems for a living and know all too well about the effects of too much suction and too much suction head. They need a more rigid and me thinks slightly larger tube especially near the 90* bend at least until the turbo inlet where it has to neck down.

 

Sorry 'bout preaching to the choir then. Too many years in industry myself.

 

check the flow of the filter, size means dick if the element is junk.

i'd have to see if AEM posts data, but K&N for example has a flow rate per material surface area for there element. kinda nice. its biased for them, but there are tons of 3rd party tests on K&N to validate there numbers.

if there's enough vacuum on the inlet side to collapse a piece of 3ply, reinforced silicone, then there's enough to not only rob power, but kill turbo seals.

 

Not really preaching just reinforcing my idea.

So in theory, if I yank the filter off (not for long of course) that will show if the inlet restriction issue is caused by the filter or the silicone hose itself. It necks down a ton right at a 90* bend.

 

spot on!

 

Now, here is the trouble. If I need a different type of filter there are very few companies who make 3.25" inlet sizes. Most companies go strait from 3.0" to 3.5".

 

what i've done in the past is order a custom unit from the likes of K&N and such.

take there filter flow rate per surface area unit, add in a 20% headway and then work the shape (top/bottom flange size, inlet offset, ect) to fit your area.

you can also experiment with other filter mediums as well. HKS foam, ect, ect.

another option, and how i would do it, is to replace that ****-show of an elbow with some vacuum sportive ducting and graft the OE bits on.

from experience, this works.

Cool thanks. You sir have a PM.

 

meee tooo Paul what part of NY you live im from the bronx maybe next time i go to vist you can hook me up im willing to pay as well

 

ohhh i want 363 HP lol

 

Wow this thread blew up! Damn sucks STL has one of the best LNF tuners and nobody will get to see his tunes cause he wont become a vendor on here cause of all the drama and he hardly ever posts, one of the most modest guys i know and probably the nicest and would love to help this community out, but there is too much drama here, the numbers he made uncorrected were as high as corrected numbers from most of the vendors on here and other tuners, this was only on 22psi, and was done at a very well known shop in the viper community PBJ. He is one of the best Cavy tuners in the united states. . I dont know why some of you all rag on Brian, the guy can tune some nasty LSJ's.....Seen it first hand, lost to him first hand, and my LSJ was no slouch, if he owned an LNF i bet he would get alot more involved in them. I think he is a good tuner....No matter who tunes the LNF from this site, every guy pretty much is good at what they do.
