Oh...
Sorry!
Guess it isn't worth it!

 

there's alot of details that aren't right, like going to the rev limiter while on the dyno, that could have been another gain since it was climbing pretty good..

it don't show a af ratio either, so who knows what his fuel is doing..

the point is, the car wasn't ran to its limit... if they had took it to the limit the gain prob would have been better making it worth it..

keep checking up on it..

 

It went from something promising to an almost stock IM design. The Alti guys are all saying some A/F tuning will help, but I doubt that's going to change the area under the curve that much. I'm guessing we could modify the stock IM and see the same gains for much less than $750. I wish I could find Tilley's dynos of that.

 

Anyone know if this could be modfied to fit our cars?

 

It's a single stage intake, not variable. It should fit, but no low to mid gain. We need to see how the new dual IM on the new VQ looks. I think that'll kick ***.

 

What do they mean by "dual intake manifold" and will it produce power or is it for economy?

 

yeah what does the dual part mean?
Thanks,

What I'm particularly curious about is if the manifold will bolt to our motor. If the throttle body attachment does not line up, as I imagine it won't, then that can easily be modified. The only other problem I forsee if hood clearance. I may be inclined to contact the company, which, fortunately, is located in Santa Ana I believe, which is near me. If they want me to check things out, I can make myself available, as usual. Any thoughts?

 

its built for our engine guys, all FWD VQ's....

 

That pretty much sums it up. This thing has been in the works forever and its still not worth the extreme price.

 

I think instead of wasting money on an intake like that I'd rather get one of thease!

Also, DEUS, hows that TSQ Ecu working out for you?

Kam

 

LOVE teh ECU Kam. Strong low end power, and 7100 rpm redline cuz!!

 

So technically i can order one ECU already? Anyone think the electronic blower would do us any justice?

Thanks,

Kam

 

No, I dont recommend trying the eletrical blower. Call TS and ask about availability of ECU

 

Do you have the number for TSQ so i can find out when I can get mine modded?

Do you know if they can supply a spare ECU cause I would like to keep a stock one on hand.

Thanks,

Kam
