why is the V2 not good for k motors?

 

are you comparing the V2 to the AEM or injen CAI. i thought there was just a thread on this last week?

 

i dont know, both AEM CAI and INJEN CAI

 

browse around. this topic comes up every week. no noticeable difference between the AEM CAI to V2. a friend of mine doesn't seem to be satisfied to the V2 due to heatsoak issues.

 

V2 is a short ram for the k series that is why it sucks plain and simple

 

I doubt if anyone of you who said V2 suck for K series motors have read or actually done any test for saying that. V2 is better than CAI (either AEM or Injen). It proves that V2 has output most power for K motors than any other intake systems out there.

By the way, I don't work with AEM. It is just my foundings among intakes.

 

v2 can get heatsoak which makes it bad.

 

i dunno where you go your info that V2 better than CAI. It proves that V2 has more output power?

show me an independent dyno with a heatsoaked V2 vs CAI

I don't have a dyno but I have Kpro datalogs. The Intake Air Temp sensor with my V2 setup reads at least 10degrees higher than my friends CAI setup. we both have Kpro and we both did the datalogs on the same night. ambient temperature was 72degrees. He got 80degrees IAT rock steady, I had 90-130 IAT depending on how hard I was pressing the throttle, how long I was stopped at a redlight, and probalby a couple of other variables.


V2 = easy install, nice sound, good throttle response
CAI = power, a bit of thorttle lag


I don't regret my V2. It's just not better than a cold air.

 

ok check your car after you drove it hard and then see how much the temp is and compare it to your buddies after he has driven it hard. I'm not trying to prove you wrong or nothing. I would just like to know the info on it for I have an AEM V2 and am thinking of going with a CAI.

i guess he agrees with you akuma.

end of topic. 6 of 7...? agree

 

akuma, regularly, i'll see temps of upwards of 90. even now with the 50degee weather.

i've looked at datalogs for both V2's and CAI's. with CAI's, during a 3rd gear run, the IAT will stay steadly and sometimes even drop a degree. The V2's, IAT will steadily increase around 2 degrees a second until the run is complete.

Whiz on CRSX has also noted to me that the best way to heat up the V2 is to run the engine hot and then turn it off with hood closed. All that heat just gets trapped under the hood with no ventilation. It sorta just simmers in.

if my previous post didn't make too much sense, summary:

for power CAI &gt; v2

 

there are alot of threads and posts about this subject.. look around. but all i remember is concluding with a long explanation of the v2 being good througout the entire rpm band while the cold air is good especially at high rpms.

a helpful tip for v2 owners.. go get a heatwrap of some sort and cover the pipe a little bit espeicailly over the radiator hose. at temple of vtec there was testing done and he concluded that a heatwrap lowered the heatsoak. the radiator hose is actually touching the v2's piping making the pipe incredibly hot.

read the article. there are dynos. blah blah. here you go.
