Best possible intake for Evo8?
Best possible intake for Evo8?
I want to get an aftermarket intake system witht he best performance possible. Im also planning on getting Vishnu's Xflash ecu remmaping. Anyone know what the best choice for me is? if u got any tips or advise reguarding an intake or the ecu thing plz post up. Thanks a lot.
I thought Vishnu was against aftermarket intakes. Regardless which is the best, you should have your ecu remapped the same time your intake is installed. More info is availabe with a 'Search'.
Save your money and put it into another mod. But as far as performance gain, I think there is. Your turbo will spool up a little fast and you gain some upper end. For losing any power, I would say no bc I raced other evos with stock airbox and I win. hahah....So no power decrease. But 200 is alot. Add another 300 and you got yourself a set of camshafts. Well worth the money there. Ohhh, the sound is pretty awesome too. I got the AEM intake, wondering if the other open air intakes sound different. ANybody in here know? Peace..
I agree. I just use a K&N drop in. Better throttle response and spool up. Plus it was proven that it adds 5 to 7 WHP on the dyno just by adding this filter. I think during a dyno day at Pruven they did a before and after with the K&N.

The *best* intake would be a large diameter intake that puts the air filter in a location where it can ingest air at ambient temperatures. Any turbo car that has a low restrictive intake that draws air from an ambient location will make more HP. Then a air box or under hood system *everytime*
This type of intake would be paramount

No plans on developing an intake yet. The stock intake is pretty hard to improve upon when dealing with stock turbo airflow limitations.Cheers,
