j's racing intake.


iceman said:
intake designs vary hugely, all the "good" ones usually have specific purpose and some have overall compromise, oem usually compromise most simply due to fact that mass market needs quieter car and less chance of water ingress

some intakes aimed at bhp gains thorughout, some bhp gains top end, some torque gains and other 1 is throttle response, your choice comes down to what the driver wants

ive never seen j's up closebut does look like its aimed at throttle response

someone mentioned velocity stack, part of that principal is incorporated into most intakes (all oem do) which lot of people dont realise and is simply the way forward BUT not really something you can just mock up or buy, has to be designed specifically and tested on dyno for your car/engine to get best from your car

i have feeling the j's will will incorporate part of v stack principal somewhere

cool! nice info... I have the same feeling with the response increase with J's Racing. But I think if cold air gets ducted to it properly then we should be seeing hp increase throughout rev range. I have a dynotuner few blocks away from my house so I will get some before and after dyno results. :D

its sit in ok position anyway and little bit of piping to feed more cold air can only help :nice:

I found the J's racing induction kit very tight to fit in its a very wide carbon pipe on it and also I had to totaly remove my old air box including the cold air pipe which feeds the airbox to get the filter in the corner so It does take awhile to install but once finished you will be smiling all the way to redline :D

Thanks for the note! However I've already cut out that U pipe so removing should be a breeze... hahaha -smiling all the way to the redline- I like the sound of that! hahah. I'll be trying to find the best way to bring cold air to that area and shield it off... any tips would be great!
 
any joy with the cold air feed, im in a dilemma as to what induction to go for, id say ive narowed it down to the gruppe m, aem v2 or this j's racing but would have to look into air feed, decisions decisions
 
Looking forward to seeing what cold air and heat sheild combo you come up with jugbugz.
After what iceman said, I took a closer look at the J's intake fitting thread, and the filter does sit in a pretty good position:).
I'm swaying more towards one now, after reading a few bad comments about the v2, i.e. it gave flat spots after fitting and a loss in low end power:(
 
I'll be installing my J's Racing intake next week... Found out I need to get a permit for it when it's installed on the car... :nerv:

stay tuned...[/QUOTE]


why do you need a permit to fit an airfilter?
 
cool guys!!! Your gonna be suprised with the noise its going to make :D:D:D

I installed a pod filter shield on the filter and another pod filter shield snapped onto the podfilter collar. This is just a cheap setup for the time being but it works with the pipe ducting air through the front bumper. You guys can see more pics on the other thread. I'm going to post some new pics right now on the other thread... :nice:
