Is it a cold air intake ? Because tubes look long, not the best thing for turbo cars, more stress for turbos as far as I understand, better more volume since we have air coolers already

Well the way its setup it helps the turbos work more effeicoent and te air is compressed compared to them having to suck the air. It's more efficient and the power gains are better tha m anything out there
On the M6 it showed 40whp an 30wtrq early and gains all through the midrange. Plus those gains were from already upgraded intake The gains should be even stronger do to completely stock set up. And don't forget this is on a Dyno that isn't getting true air like on the street, imagine the velocity of air on the highway. Also mpg went up. So its all about how the setup is engineered. Long pipes don't help if they have to suck the air but this set up is a true ram air. Last edited by m6beast; 08-30-2014 at 09:29 PM.. |

Well I ran the car a couple different spots and some had a little slope +/- and all the runs were consistent time. I plan to run the same road the same way so even if there was a +/- slope it will show the gains do to running the at the same way. I'm out of town and its realy hot and humid here, and I can already feel the difference compared to my last Vbox runs. I think today and tomorrow it will start to shine. Either way between the Vbox and Dyno numbers will give a good idea of how the intake is performing. |

So far car feels strong feels like I raised the boost 2-3 lbs.
Also runs consistent doesn't seem to heat soak like it used to. The sound is amazing, I really can't describe it, but its not like the open air filters doesn't have the suction noise. As you kick it and let off completely you can here the woosh sound but doesn't sound ricey it just sound clean and aggressive. Its a clean and crisp sound really hard to describe. It will be one of those gotta hear it and it will bring a smile on your face. Put it this way, people standing at a gas statin made sure to turn their heads 180* when I kicked it and let off. Remember car is still stock. Maybe I can shoot some video to get an idea how it sounds Heading back home, so hope to Dyno this week |

Dude, we are on the edge of our seat! This is exciting! I just hope you realize how quickly you will have to mass produce this mod!

So far the logo I've designed and all the extra touches you will be pleased. Didn't cut corners anywhere between CNC cut flanges, logo engravings, tig welding and the best filters on the market for this set up. It will have options per your preference. Easy to access for maintenance purposes. Everything has been thought out from my personal experiences for I've been modding since my first e36 M3 95' Then onto the next E39 m5, e63 m6, and now f10/13 m5/m6 All my cars I customized and modded for I'm very anal in detail and preference. My fabricator and CNC guy probably hate me right now lol Here's a coolant line bracket I've designed for my methanol charge pipe set up. |

Have some video before I got home nothing special I know some wanted to hear it. The good thing is no exhaust you can really hear it. With exhaust it will sound crazy like in my M6
In the beginning you can hear the turbos spooling then as I get in front if the camera both times you can hear when I key off. The sound is crisp and not over the top. The video doesn't give it justice With an exhaust it sounds amazing. Ill shoot a video with the M6 since its fully modded will be a great comparison Last edited by m6beast; 09-01-2014 at 07:11 PM.. |
