Cold Air Intakes

[importfighter01]

Thank you. Mishimoto intake. We will have results for the Injen soon but I don’t expect anything.

Check out page 1 of my thread here where i compare some intake dyno numbers.

Injen makes double what Mishimoto did due to not being air volume limited by the snorkel. I’d be surprised if you didn’t see a difference inlet with Mishimoto vs inlet with Injen (esp with the hood open while dynoing so ingesting ambient temp air).

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to see anything until I switch fuels. I’m pulling timing as it is on 93. I’ll try E30 soon and report back. I’m also building a 4” open intake to compliment my turbo inlet pipe soon as well.

I was impressed with the gains, the difference in spooling and the throttle response was a big improvement as well.

Looks like smoothing some airflow results in some choice curves. Would love to see this come out under $300 off in the future, though with the production limits on our trucks it seems unlikely.

I take it that it is compatible with a stock truck at minimum.

We’re raising the price for the next batch we build, it’s not much different in price than an intake and people buy them all the time. This product is intended for modified trucks and it really doesn’t make sense to put it on a stock truck even though there was some gain from it being installed on our stock test truck.

I went with the Mishimoto intercooler pipes since the factory ones looked restrictive and a choke point. While I doubt I'm making much extra power I think along with the tune I got a different response curve which I've come to appreciate.

I think that's what intrigued me about this replacement. It looks like a refinement on the factory plumbing.

It definitely changes the response. It was very noticeable.

I looked at your post but I don’t get the data. You’re comparing dyno sheets provided by the manufacturer right? Each one was made with a different truck on a different dyno, possibly in a different gear and with different fuel as well as the likelihood of them having different correction factors… are they all Sae or Std numbers? If you want to compare something you need a much better control. These intakes also might make a bigger difference when combined with other modifications vs being completely stock. My truck is too modified to compare to most but all my dyno data is done in the same gear, on the same dyno with the same correction factor. I’m happy to dyno test stock vs Mishimoto vs Injen on my truck for comparison though.

Great point on comparing intake manufacturer dyno numbers, and while def not perfect, it’s the best available info we have acces to given the cost of dyno time and buying all the intakes to test side by side.

The observation that I was trying to convey was that the intakes that have access to the largest air volumes (Injen due to open cone design and K&N due to its open foam box top plus snorkel) are the two that also claim the highest dyno numbers. It would be interesting to see if your dyno testing shows no difference between the Injen vs Mishimoto, as any comparison like that has been unavailable to us here on the forum.

And also I appreciate your efforts in tuning (ie anti-lag) and fabrication (ie turbo inlet pipes) to benefit the Ranger platform. Only a small percentage of Ranger owners are invested in this platform from a high performance powertrain perspective, so for those of us who fall into this group your work is refreshing.

Thank you for that, I wasn't trying to be a dick btw, I'm just kinda matter of fact sometimes.
I am happy to provide technical information and dyno comparisons when I can if people here are interested.
You seem to know more about me than I have shared on this forum (Anti-lag)
Are you in my Facebook group or something?

Haha, didn’t think you were a dick at all. I do troll the FB group with my wife’s FB account since I don’t have one. Very cool how you accomplish the anti-lag with the torque commanded and keeping the diverter valve open. Keeping the transmission at the ready for the quick power transfer once the diverter valve closes and throttle plate opens is a nice touch. I’m a big believer that an electronically controlled diverter valve and wastegate can provide some very precise tuning opportunities, so glad to see it being explored in the best way possible.

If I've ever had a thought to pick this part up, it's just been crossed out as these both appear to have the same choke point.

While true, the Magnum is a single molded piece whereas the FoMoCo part is 2 pressed together. When I swapped mine I filled the AfE to see what volume it was as a plenum. Turns out it's a magnum (1.5 litres).

I never got an accurate amount from the leaky Ford part.

I had the VelossaTech on before the AfE and while I gained highway MPGs with it the Magnum didn't improve things much. I still like the better built part and suspect it still provides improved velocity at the airbox.

I take it @Loweredon33s works for Revolution Automotive. I see no products for our trucks on their website.

I do indeed work for Revolution. We are working on a better website. We are the manufacturer, tuner and engineers of our own performance products.

I’ve had a Mishimoto and now an Injen. I can tell you that it has gone from no turbo sounds to woah turbo sounds! It’s pretty cool. You can hear it in these videos.

Gunning it past that semi like that was a f'ing stupid dick move man.

Gunning it past that semi like that was a f'ing stupid dick move man.

It’s basically a private road and he was parked on the side where they always park with their flashers to wait for an opening at the loading dock. If you were to look and observe before calling me a dick you would notice the speed in the lower left corner and see that I indeed “GUNNED IT” to a whopping 25mph in a 30 while going around him with a full road’s width because he’s on the SHOULDER!
Not knowing the situation but calling me a fucking dick makes you not only a cock but an unobservant cock that jumps to conclusions at that. I’m sorry if my video offended you because I drove my truck on my road next to a parked tractor trailer….
