You have not wasted anything. I can buy it from you

 

At least what I can offer for our system is that, we've done extensive R&D testing on all of our system before they are released. The location, height, etc of the MAF sensor is crucial in acquiring proper a/f ratio as so is the length, diameter and bend of the system as well. Each intake system is then put on the dyno and tested.

Many manufacturers will design a system and send that design overseas and have them all made. That means no quality control assurance, whereas we do everything in house at our own facilities.

Hopefully, this can help reassure those who had some doubts about our system.

 

Did all this R&D result in an intake that doesn't fudge the sensor or does it merely prevent an immediate CEL?

 

My car has 13 LESS hp with the Injen intake kit. So, I paid these fools $400 to make my car slower. So, Injentech...how well do you stand by your product? I WANT A REFUND.


HP was measured with a GTech Pro. No, the actual numbers may not be 100% accurate, but the delta (difference) should be fairly accurate...not to mention I can feel the car is slower.

 

Get on a dyno then talk. GTech Pro, common man get real? Maybe your Injen kit wasn't installed right and that's why your having issues but mine made a pretty big difference in spoolup and power.

 

Do you have before & after graphs?

 

LMAO .

 

I wouldn't necessarily underestimate the GTech. I've seen fairly accurate results with it. No, I don't have it, but a customer had one and his Gtech whp results were within 5-7 hp of what he actually put down on a mustang dyno over at a shop in michigan. Now we all know that not all GTechs are "accurate" like the one he had, so I wouldn't go as far to say it's a good tool. However, considering the fact that they are consistently inaccurate, if the guy lost horsepower after putting the intake on, then, he lost horsepower. Maybe on a dyno he'll only lose 3hp, but you know what, losing power is losing power. Yes, it could be installed wrong, but I doubt it, unless there is a leak somewhere.

 

The G-Tech is a relatively precise instrument, but not necessarily an accurate one. What this means is that the numbers can be used to compare the before/after effects of a change, but don't quote them as actual HP readings.

In Evillusion's case, I wouldn't be quick to fault the design of the intake. It seems more probable that the intake is doing what it is designed/tested to do. The problem more likely lies elsewhere, and the intake could be exacerbating it.

A good place to start would be knowing what else has Evillusion installed on his car in the way of mods.

 

Yeah, pretty much the bottom line on this one is that if you buy an intake for the EVO and aren’t over 500 WHP and running speed density, you've just wasted money. You could've spent that $400 ( which seems an awful lot for a piece of aluminum pipe no matter how much "R&D" is "behind it" ) on something else that would've for sure made power.

Just my 2cents...

 

That kinda tone will get you nowhere fast, man. If you do run an intake, you need to tune the car accordingly.

I also agree that using a GTech as a yardstick is a joke. There's a great Dyno Dynamics dyno within 2 hours of you. You should use it.

 

I have Injen + TXS CAT Back + Feul pump.. I made 302.8whp + 280.1lbft of torque.. HOT **** if ur running stock dp and stock cat.
My baseline with the mods n stock ecu was 258whp.

 

I have very high respect for injen for doing their R&D. Its an awsome unit... keep up the good work.

 

I just installed my injen intake. and my butt dyno says that the car rev faster and just pulls a little better. I think I might have a small boost leak. as I am only reaching about 18 psi and then falling off to 16. It's usually about a little over 19 and the falling off to 16.

Injentech: just one question. after installing my intake. the car seems to be idling at about 900-1000rpm. it seems like it use to idle around 700-800 before. can anyone help me or is that normal. I'll check again tomorrow. but I'm pretty sure it's idling a couple hundred rpms more. then usual. thanks

Evillusion...Didnt you say in your Injen Intake FS thread that you might put the intake back on since now that you had taken it off the car felt slower.

I actually just ordered the Injen Intake, the intake looks sweet and im sure it will make some power. This topic will be debated forever one way or another, I should have mine on next week, I'll post my experience with it. But I guarantee you, if the CEL comes on, the intake is coming off.
