MIKEBRAVO Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Apparently, I had no idea what datalogs were. I was under the impression they had to be done on a dyno. TDC has since enlighted me. I'll see if I cant do some this weekend. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Nope, I'm torn. Do I spend 300.00 to data log it on my stock GT, which may or may not show any gains, or spend the 300.00 on an Uppipe and get 10-15WHP gain for sure. I'm not planning to go Stage II so I wont be getting an AP anytime soon. The intake for me is just a Bling whoosh machine. Since when did it cost $300 to log? oops, I see that was already adressed. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pman2g Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Is there really a need to do anything to a stock LGT if you only put on the spt intake or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEBRAVO Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 But, I guess the question is if the SPT intake affects the MAF in an adverse way. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pman2g Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 But, I guess the question is if the SPT intake affects the MAF in an adverse way. Not so much.....so how is your car running with it? Thats the only mod you have done to it correct? What are the differences since you put it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Specb122 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I want to see dyno results before and after SPT intake. With Stage 2. If more than 15 HP difference I will consider. Less than 5 NO WAY. 6-12 maybe adverse conditions or difficulty in tuning.. NO WAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Not so much.....so how is your car running with it? Thats the only mod you have done to it correct? What are the differences since you put it on? Yes, it is the only engine mod. Car runs great. Still getting about 20-21.5 mpg about 1-1.5 better then without the intake. The sound it makes is what I like the best. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEBRAVO Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 I have a couple of sound clips theyre not that great but you can hear the BOV pretty well, in real life you can hear more suction and spool. Pm me your Email if interested or instruction on how to post it to the Forum. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pman2g Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Yeh that would be cool. I PM you... Did you install it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Yeh that would be cool. I PM you... Did you install it yourself? yes, I installed it my self it was easy. The instructions were clear and complete, nice for a change. Don't forget to change out the MAF screws though. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

rizenx Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 is the sound similar to the "darth vader" like noise that a K&n Typhoon makes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well I just installed the intake and the heat shield. Initial impressions are kind of mixed. If you are just reving the engine, not much difference. Driving around, not hard, with the windows closed, AC off, radio off, the top end sound isn't all that loud. I think it's not as loud as partial throttle with the silencer off @ 3-4K. But now you constantly hear the turbo spooling up and down when you are below 3K. It's kind of annoying since it's a higher pitch noise. It was amusing to lift off the throttle and hear it spool down along with the waste gate. Windows open, you hear more wind noise than the turbo spooling up and down except at slow speeds. With the windows closed, AC on, radio @ 7 or so, you barely hear the turbo. I do like how it sounds compared with stock once you get above 3K. I think hearing the turbo spooling might get annoying after a while. I think I'll give it a few weeks before I decide whether or not to keep it. Hearing the turbo is amusing, but it might get old after a while. Just don't know yet.

Had you heard the intake prior to installing the heatshield or did you do both at once? I'm curious , although I doubt it, as to whether or not the heat shield affected the sound at all.

Scotty Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I didn't install it without the heat shield, I was going to but Subaru sent the wrong bushing. I ended up finding my own bushing, but I did find out Subaru is sending a complete new intake so I can swap out that bushing tomorrow. I doubt the heat shield makes a difference in sound. It does make a difference in heat. When I was done playing around, I checked under the hood and the air filter temp was much lower than when I was pulling the stock one out an hour earlier. The cast pipe was quite warm. I do wish I can get the snorkel back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes the engine compartment look finished, even if it only ends up being visually pleasing If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

Scotty Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'll take a few when I get home tonight. With the way it is designed, there's no way to get the snorkel back in. One of the attachment point on the heat shield is right where the snorkel fits over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 same with my perrin drop in. the noise is ok but can get a little annoying. I'd much rather hear more boxer rumble via a cat back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
