Probably not a huge difference in performace between intakes, some have added features which drive up the cost (heat shields, better couplers, welded-in bungs). I would go with whatever your tuner recommends, if they have more experience with one particular brand it may take less time tuning your Evo and thus save you money there as well.

 

I'm running the AEM map right now (Stg-1) w/Harman Motives intake. My X runs real good.I felt an overall improvement throughout the entire RPM band over the Reg Stg-1 map.On the top end is most difference (biggest gain)The AMS is almost identical to my HM intake ,except for the HM keeps the MAF futher away from where the factory BPV connects to the BPV tube.

My X will still leave Blk smoke under boost (WOT) but less than factory tune

 

have you checked all the numbers to make sure your running safe?

 

The Typhoon is out....maps?

 

I want the Harmon Motive map sooo bad!

 

i can make a harman map if anyone wants it

 

i would like a k&n typhoon map

 

I do, but how much is it going to cost me, and how am I going to get it in Hawaii?

 

INJEN maps in yet?

 

Bump for a typhoon map...

 

Is it safe to assume most of your intake maps are basically the same for each type (CAI vs. shorty) when computing MAF % changes (assuming the diameter of the tube is the same and the placement of the MAF is similar on different brands)? The reason I ask is I have an AGP CAI and would like to put a map(have AGP U/LICP, CAI, Agency Power catback twin can, Hallman MBC and Synapse BOV) made for the AEM CAI. Would that work? I don't want to run lean and get P01071 (I think that's the right code) after the tune.

Thanks for your hard work on making all these map variations for all kinds of brands of aftermarket products...must be mind numbing computing all these permutations of product combinations.

 

I can tell you from experimenting with different intake maps from their off the shelf maps, that they are not the same. I run a k&n filter on the stock mas housing, with a silicone intake tube. The closest stock map would be an injen or Cobb SF. The Cobb SF was all over the place for afr's, the AMS map was pig rich. If you look at the mas calibration table you can see why.

 

I'll try the Injen as it seems to be similarly made (lower than normal MAF placement and cone filter is in fenderwell...will have to keep an eye on my afr's too.

Another variable is the MBC. Most every modded evo x is going to have one on there. Question is , is it going to be equivalent to the "boost pill mod" which I assume is just removing one of the three pills. In the MBC scenario, all three of my stock tubes are not used (both lines from both boost solenoids are T'd off...but both solenoids are still plugged in so I don't throw any codes). I'm running relatively stock boost pressures (~22psi) at 5 turns out of 13 on my Hallman MBC.

Thanks for the reply kozmic!

 

There's no reason to go with a MBC on the Evo X. ECU controlled boost will give you excellent results, and if you feel the need to spend some $ on new hardware, get a 3 port solenoid and tune.

 

We do not recommend an MBC for use with our maps. Boost control on the EVOX is very dynamic and introducing an MBC into this system can cause issues with a tune that is not optimized for an altered boost control system. Our maps are designed for the stock boost control system. With the new maps featuring the airflow/torque limits defeated you can get away with running an MBC, but we don't recommend it without additional tuning.
