Mblock66 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 damn I got it to play! That thing sound REAL mean! I think that is going to be new toy for me However I think the new AEM full CAI will produce more power then this unit with a pro tune. AEM makes great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mblock66 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yeah that is +-2 hp on a non tuned car though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mblock66 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 i guess that all depends on if it has any effect on how hot the air gets during compression. If it can help lower those temps b/c it is already lower coming in then I can see it helping, if not then could be pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookslikeanevo Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 i dunno, but i have always been taught that, i come from the mitsu world, and that was always the case it may be different for subie, i dunno any inputs on this?

MDTURBO Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 It all really depends upon under hood temperatures. If you're under hood air temps are relatively hot, a CAI would be beneficial as it's drawing cooler intake air. In our particular application, I'd say it's not necessarily needed if a heat shield is in place on the turbo housing. Air flows from under the lip of the hood and evacuates the hot air toward the back of the engine bay away from the intake. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing.

BoxerGT2.5 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 All I know from in person is the typhoon (although nicely built) was hella loud on an Rx-8. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookslikeanevo Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 i forgot to mention that what i meant by stock was sotck w/ intake silncer removed, ill try to do another run soon, maybe even a dyno.... but damn that like 4-5runs on a dyno, $100+, anyone want to help?

That's a lot of money on the dyno... expecially if you let the car cool down as to not skew results due to heat up. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

lookslikeanevo Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 ^lol, i actually thought about doing all three, but i dont have that kinda money for dyno time...we'll see tho, ill ask the guy from KNN if he can throw in a drop in Current:MY05 SWP wagon - 253/290 UP, AEM CAI, Invidia Q300, tuned@yimisport OLD: MY06 GRP - 274/314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 The piping diameter doesn't mean diddly-squat. As long as the sampling tube is the same diameter as stock (assuming the stock sensor is used), it'll be an accurate reading. You can do anything you want before & after the meter and it won't change the validity of the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With different sized piping before and after turbulence likely will be increased causing less then accurate readings.

gargleblaster Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I have the Typhoon for my STi. There was a great deal of debate on the STi version w/regard to power, AFR's etc. A brave soul had his otherwise stock STi dynoed before and after and saw a 12 hp increase, and the AFR's matched the stock values, making this a relatively safe mod for vehicles using stock EM. The main concern for me was making sure the oiled filter element doesn't FUBAR the MAF sensor. Obviously the Legacy unit will differ somewhat from the STi, and the EM is certainly different, so someone will need to confirm AFRs and whatnot for the Legacy. Given that K&N turned out the kind of product for the STi that they did, I would expect the same for the Legacy kit too. It is loud, and the whoosh and psssh are definitely apparent when driving the car. There's also some popping in the exhaust note when getting off throttle, which to me is the best sound of all.
