Ive read more about cars than you would ever believe. And i own a real car, just let me know when you want to met me at VIR or Summit or Beaverun or any of those tracks. real car..lol...

 

otherwise known to some as dan's custom intake i had my trusted mechanic dan take it off my 240 when i first got it. it made it sooo fast!!! haha j/p. that was a cool ricer mod tho. intake sound, no power. haha. i believe dan has done this to at least 5 cars in the last year or so, haha.

i agree. bensrex, there was simply no need for you to start calling rguy names... it was very uncalled for... you started a shit that did not need to get started. so rguy corrected you... big fucking deal. you're not a baby... i personally know it to be called a resonator box. maybe it's called differently on a subaru?? i don't see why it would be. let's see what joey, cosmo, dan and every other wrx owner has to say on this. you seriously need to chill... we don't need this to escalate to a full fledge hatred...

 

geeez u guys its called an Intake resinator chambor...

god what retards


but anyway, why would that be a ricer mod if it actually helps get cooler air for the turbo?

 

It doesnt help get cooler air. Did you not read posts?

from futureprospect "you actually get cooler air from the front air dam and snorkel. i did utec pulls with both and the air intake temps were colder than my short ram. about 10 degress C cooler...."

 

yes future, i do know that when i get up to 300+hp, that i need to get an intake. but i dont see that happening for awhile, so for now, i dont need an intake. and like i keep saying, he did not need to post and correct me, because an "intake silencer" and "intake resonator" are the same exact thing. it was him being an ass just to start something. there was no need for him posting in the first place. i'm not just some kid that went out and bought a wrx b/c it's "super duper fast and i can beat everyone and anyone". and i know what "stunna" mods are, and taking out the intake silencer is not a "stunna" mod. but i can see why that phrase came from a civic owner.

 

yes i do read posts... u see the bumper on a wrx has a hole to pull in colder air... now with the resinator chambor out of the way its sucking the cooler air that goes into the bumper right out of the fender well... but anyway u can think i am wrong, its no big deal to me, i know that it works cause i used to have my snorkel on there and i would touch it and it would be really hot.. so im just going with common sense here.

 

I find it interesting that you post a link to someone who says that a CAI is of no use because the reduction in intake air temp is negligible after the Temperature drop from the IC is factored in (I will run some numbers tomorrow when I have time to verify this because I am a big dork), yet you assert that the resonator removal is not a stunna mod because it reduces temps. Doesn’t that seem a bit contradictory? And I stand by my previous statement. RELAX!!!!!

 

The intake Silencer Removal mod... and yes on every subaru board and forum even the largest one on the web... www.nasioc.com almost everyone calls it a SILENCER. Is pretty much for 1 reason and that is to be able to hear the stock turbo which makes almost no noise and to hear the stock BOV or to make an aftermarket one louder.

Getting a BOV on a wrx is also completely useless yet I have one... so call me a ricer if you want, the stock BOV can handle up to 20 psi so technicly anyone running an aftermarket bov and not running over 20 psi is a stunna or whatever.

As for the Cool air intake or the "shorty" intake... both have been proven by shiv at vishnu and other companies to produce almost no benefit (and even a loss in power in some situations because of how it messes with the MAF readings)

Now if you want to tell me that vishnu...turboxs and other companies are wrong about the WRX then you MUST have engineered the car.

Okay, well, I'll add my 2 cents worth...

On a lot of cars (Civics, 240's, Escorts, whatever) a "cold air" intake will help. On a WRX it will not. I'm not an engineer, so I can't give you an exact explaination, but I can tell you that a "cold air" intake will make the injectors work at a higher duty cycle (usually close to 100%) than normal. I have seen on 3 different WRX's, including my own, the difference. Changing back to the stock intake brings the injectors back down to 80-85%. Now, this is with a "cold air" intake.

I have a Perrin short ram intake, which draws air from under the hood. No problems in the last 18,000 miles that it has been on my car.

Now, one last thing.... it's not the temperature of the air that is the problem, supposedly. It is the speed at which the air passes the MAF sensor. On a "cold air" intake it is moving faster than on a short ram intake or the stock intake.

Again, I'm not an engineer, so take it or leave it. I'm just letting everyone know my experiences....

 

Are you saying that the stock injectors are nearly maxed out stock, and that the increase in air density is so much that the computer has to increase duty cycle by 10-15%?.... I would love it if my cai increased my maf voltage enough to have to increase the duty cycle 10-15%. Do you know how much power that would be from just an intake?
