I've always wanted to do something like this and I'm sure it's possible with a little bit of scheduling.
Its amazing what technology can do these days.


either way, good luck Nemesis! I can't wait to see the dyno numbers.

 

Back from Chicago, and now in a three day training seminar...

Midpipe gets welded up Wed, coils and intake go on Thursday. Data logging after that, wait for Jeff to send tunes, data log, tune....

Maybe in the next two weeks, if I can pull a few favors, I will be on the rollers. I have 2200 miles on the breakin. Car pulls hard with rich mixtures, even with the stock midpipe and coils.

 

Should have given us a shout. I could have setup a mini-meet.

 

what resonator is in that midpipe?

 

BHR

And it is an amazing piece of engineering to say the least

 

I was working the Food Show at McCormick all week - boring this year, so that would have been something I should have done.

 

man if you get yours done before mine....

 

Finally got the BHR coils and MS/AEM intake on. I noticed the idle is not quite as smooth as with the RB REVi, but that also could be just early maf hunting since it has a longer intake runner. I bet it will settle down a bit after a couple of drive cycles.

So, with this complete, I can finally start data logging for Jeff. Heading to Mt. Pleasant, MI next week for work and golf, so more delays on my part. Then home again, and will take some much needed vacation to work around the house and visit with the folks that are coming up from KC.

Hopefully I will be on the rollers soon and get a RWHP number - thanks for everyone's patience.

 

congrats man!

 

^+1!

 

Cant wait for some numbers. Would love to a see a video to hear this beast.

Oh yeah, enjoy the golf.

 

Waiting on MM now to look over my logs. I still have some reservations of the AEM vs. the REVi intake. While breaking in the engine under the REVi, I noticed a sharp throttle response around the secondaries opening. Seemed to pick and go quit nicely. With the AEM, that lurch forward is gone. Now I am wondering if the REVi is a much better designed intake than the AEM. If I were to analyze the suction line losses of each, the REVi would be the best choice. It has a nice short straight tube ending with a bell mouth inlet. While the AEM makes a journey forward through the front wall, then makes several turns, and ends with a straight edge diameter inlet - no bell mouth. That creates a larger loss than a bell mouth.

So, I will tune for the AEM and dyno the car. Then I will swap out intakes and tune for the REVi and dyno that setup. Compare the results and see which is better.

 

Wow that'll be some interesting data

 

Agreed, would be interesting to see how it affects the car between the two intakes.

 

Well the AEM does neck down from 3.50" to 3.25", but you could also just be getting less pull with the RB until the secondaries open. That's why you never trust seat of teh pantaloons ....



.

 

That's a good thought - pantaloons is all I have until Jeef gets back to intrawebbing his tune to me

 

I was reading up on RE-Zelse's blog about the AEM intake. I think I will follow his lead from EM, and also and make this mod.

 

that looks really cool too!

 

Which pic of the intake are you guys talking about?

 

 

Ah did not go back far enough. I was looking at the heat wrap.

 

yeah me too but that made no sense so i went back in time some more.. i saw him talking about it last night but didnt know what he meant until i saw the pic.

 

Nemesis, why not do like dondo did with his intake? Seems to be a better location for the filter because there would not be any concerns with it getting wet.

 

mine has a much smaller filter on it, but it is only one bend.

 

Yep I was referring to the 1 90˚ bend.
