I like BR intake mani. Proven power, good price

 

WOW, I'm surprised you'd say something like that. Funny thing is, only yesterday I read a post about how one of your TB's apparently failed and damaged a customers engine. The feeling I got from your comments were that there may have been other things at play that caused the failure, especially considering it only happend on one customers car. You seeemed to conduct yourself in a very professional manner.

I felt a little sorry for you and was tempted to PM you telling you about a problem I had like that. A customer of mine (not EVO) had a screw come out of one of my butterflies that caused damage to an engine. Thing is, they had welded a wiggins coupling to it.
So,either they disassembled it themselves or they welded it assembled, neither of which is a good idea of course. Either way, I copped the bill and paid it to keep them happy. (they are an otherwise good customer of mine)

So now I do a search for Hypertune, and this is what I find. You, of all people recommending a customer not to purchase my product based on the experience of one person. really surprising.......

It might be a good idea if you and dambikeracer send a PM to TedB and ask for an update regarding the Hypertune TB "problem".

You might be surprised to hear what he has to say.

Actually dambikeracer, If you would be so kind as to PM me, I'll make you an offer too good to refuse in return for you taking a couple of measurements for me. It'll only take you 15 minuites or so, and potentially save you a lot of money.......

TedB is already putting in a big effort to try and get me some more info regarding the EVO TB cable setup. From all the info I have been able to get so far, it seems that only Ted's car has this issue. The thing is I need some help from LHD EVO owners just to confirm my suspicions.

 

Thanks 9sec9, We have two modified cast intakes that were finished last week and are ready to ship, also we have been working on a intake similar to this one for the Evo. 9sec9 and I will be testing and providing input on a race version, and with that data we will be developing a street version. Indy

 

FWIW: I think we've isolated the only remaining oustanding issue, which is either the size the wheel, or the travel of my throttle cable. The former is easily remedied, while the latter may have me scratching my head. I'll give an update to my discussion today.

 

We're about to do some testing on a REV3 intake manifold from MAP vs. another shops ported intake...hopefully the owner has the time to do some back to back testing, there should be some good results IMO.

 

teds and mine. and thank you ever so much for helping us. im not so worried now about having to re flange and buy another TB because in all reality your TB kicks ***. im glad this is being fixed and we all learn something. a better product just got even better.

p.s. i been going through tom at DI. witch he is also stepped up and went well beyond what most people would do for a customer. thanks tom and HT and Ted B. hope to get the new wheel real soon.

 

IMHO I would go with our Rev3 intake manifold for any of the stock frame turbochargers on the market. Beyond that it gets tricky to determine at which point the larger plenum of something like the Magnus cast intake manifold will begin to outperform. I'm all for more testing!

 

I am sorry if my post was taken the wrong way. I have every confidence in Hypertune products. I was trying to point out an issue that Ted B was talking about with the wheel on his throttle body and was trying to let the person know about this. However, thank you for pointing this out, as I have now realized that as a vendor things can easily be taken as a bash on another's product. And you are totally correct, one issue on one product can often be simply with that single product. And even things beyond the manufacturer's control, which you have pointed out.


So let me try and extract my foot from my mouth, however unintentional. (I guess I spent too much time as a member before becoming a vendor)

Hypertune, please accept my formal apology. Furthermore, I apologize for anything that was misconstrued, either specifically or implied.

I also tried to send you a PM or e-mail to apologize personally, but you don't accept either means of communication so I am limited to this, a public apology.

Just to reiterate to any members reading this, I fully believe that Hypertune produces a superior product. They have proven to produce superior power. And if anyone has a question on a Hypertune product you should contact Hypertune directly instead of listening to me

Hopefully that clears everything up and I am indeed sorry.

 

I agree with you on this one. I have a V2 Wilson and a BR Ported,one has alot more work done to it than the other. For a stock turbo I prefer the BR Ported but for a larger framed turbo (ie:HTA35R) I prefer the Wilson V2 as the larger compressor wheel helps fill up the extra plenum volume.

 

I'm still waiting for the new AMS F1 intake.. while waiting i have looked at the Magnus intake that looks like it is a very good for high horsepower..

 

My Engine Builder at Hydra Performance Highly Suggest the Hypertune T/B And he Guarantee me EVERY THING As i have the HYPERTUNE INTAKE ...
So i Hope that she will work Perfectly .
