I talk to Ed on a weekly basis and he's nearly done with our intake. The reason it has taken so long is that his boss has him going back and forth between several projects.

Please be patient guys, these units will be the best available no doubt.

 

i dunno what to believe. I thought cattman said in a previous post that , they have stopped production because of the slow sales from the 6th gen intakes?

 

No, it's nearly done. Not releasing it at this point would be illogical.

 

did ed give you a time when they would be releasing it?

 

This is really getting old, I'm sure it's coming and if not oh well I'll survive...

 

Hahaha well said. I agree.

 

 

UPDATE:

I'm going in for a final fitting and dyno session this Saturday guys!

 

good news. keep us update

 

Great! thats some good news, Please keep us updated and let us know about the dyno results

 

Sweet man! Where are they sending you for the dyno? PM me! If it's not the place way out by Rockford, I may wanna swing by!

 

PM Sent!

 

Got it and replied! Damn, you lucky SOB! I had to drive 1.5 hours away to the dyno! lol

 

wanna tell us some numbers ?

 

Never did get a stock dyno. But we were able to compare Fujita vs. R2c...

 

Looks like the R2C wins there, lol

 

Nice, it looks like the RC2 is 9 more on HP and about a lil less than 4 on Torque, plus given the build quality and the high quality air filters that do not need oiling then I'd say it has my stamp of approval 100%!!

 

One other note;
I'm surprised that we maintain so much tq and hp to the wheels given the weight of our cars and the CVT.

 

thanks for the numbers but the date on the dyno is from last year, and how did you compare a fujita , if they never made an intake for our cars?

 

Wow nice catch; I didn't even notice that at all, lol.

So the guy that did the test fitting; you wanna explain where you got those numbers? Hopefully you posted the wrong sheet or something.

 

That was on an '04, silly people. lol

 

Alpha, get your car back yet?

 

Ed's scheduling the dyno time now. He's going to call me when they set a time.

 

I'm really curious who they have doing their dynos now. lol

 

i just bought a k and n and im very happy but i will definetly inquire in this one

 

i dont think you guys can dyno a cvt maxima , a guy tried doing it on here and it didnt work

I say we just skip the dyno and release the freakin intake already! Really, I could care less about the proven gains, I just want to buy the intake.

 

I'm with you there, I'll probably end up getting a K&N then buy a R2C Filter!

 

Good luck with that. Usually the cones are designed to fit that specific intake. Stillen uses a K&N filter but it is custom built to fit their intake and only theirs.

 

R2c designs the whole system from scratch. You won't get all the performance benefits when mixing like that.

 

 

I just wanted to bump this post to remind Ed that considering this was posted on 2/16 they will soon be 1 month late on releasing this intake.

 

Still patiently waiting........................................... ..........

 

Any updates Alpha? I agree we should just skip the dyno and make some sales.... I've got spring fever...

 

i agree, we cant dyno these things anyway

 

They are going to try a dyno this week. They don't think it will be a problem. They want some kind of #rs anyway, just to be sure for themselves.

You can dyno a CVT. It just won't be as accurate as a manual, or traditional automatic. But you can still get a baseline #, and a # after any mod(s). That's what they are shooting for. It's not so much the raw numbers any car puts out, but rather, the differences between stock/mods that's important.

The wait will be worth it, guys!

 

Actually you can't get a baseline number, I tried for 3+ hours last week. If their successful I'm open to hearing how they did it because we tried every trick in the book.

 

This is rediculous. If you want to dyno the intake then fine, but release it to us first before screwing around even more.

 

K&N....FTMFW

 

They will not release a product that doesn't perform.

Just be patient. This will be the best intake available, and they want to make damn sure of that.
