Ok i recieved the intake yesterday. When i got home from work i installed it. Right off the back it came with a key chain, license frame, stickers(the usual junk) but it also came with a gift card for 20% off my total purchase at Takeda.

The install was easy. Little different then my K&N but similar to the injen where you have to run new lines from the throttle body and you remve that dual metal peice that runs to the cams. the design is very nice and fits in the engine bay good. Sound is awesome. However i did not notice the 17whp gain in power. How weird is that (sarcasm).

All in all its a great intake worth the money i spent on it.

 

wish you would have did some dyno run's, stock, your k&n, then the Takeda intake, just to put the discussion to rest.

 

well i did do a k&N run and on a mustang dyno and on a dyno jet. I made whats in my sig on the dyno jet and made like 202 i think on the mustang. Later this summer if there is a meet at a shop with a dyno agian ill dyno it and give you guys the results.

 

No CEL?

 

nice to hear.

 

No CEL! o0o yea i had to go to a concert at the Nissan pavilian. On the way there i noticed somthing. usually with my K&N intake at low rpms the car would have like a pause or hesitate when i gassed 100%. With this intake there is no pause or sputter.

 

my car used to do that with my dcrh. now with the s2rh it doesnt do that

 

I notice that with my Injen sri when it is hot but when it is cool it does not do it. If you could verify that it does not do it even when temps are in the 90s this might be an option for me.

 

well over the weekend it was like 85-88 with a **** ton of humidity and it didnt do it. so.... im positive that it dosnt do it no matter the heat.

 

interesting

 

Thanks for the quick response. Thats great news for us that it does not have that hesitation.

 

Yea. Well yesterday I started the car and the CEL was on. I was headed somwhere and couldnt get it read. When i got home i pulled the plugs and checked them and then i went to pick up dinner. On the drive home the CEL turned off. Its it comes on again im going to have it read and see what code it threw. Im starting to think that its not my Intake.

 

hit me up greg I would like to see the intake! most intake claims are with no other mods like the k&n is 13 more hp by itself but when you add more, ie I/H/E the car breaths better so the stock ecu compensate and changes air ratio. with the new flashpro you can calibrat and go from there. so Im sure if you get the FP and can figure it out you might be able to get another 20hp with all the ather stuff you added on. I just read an article in RT or CD one of them. thay made allmost 300hp on a new sedan wrx with a K&N intake cobb down pipe, dynomax eghaust and a cobb tuner. they made more hp with just the intake and lost some hp when adding the exhaust.

 

thats exactly what happens.

 

where did you buy the takeda intake? any installed pictures, would be nice to see. thanks Joe

 

Yea brandon ill stop over and show you the intake. Also yes i have pics of it compared to my modded K&N and i have one installed. Ill post them up later when i get home.

 

they have a diy on takedausa.com with pics.

 

i hope you know that on boosted cars, bolt-ons make more power than they would on an n/a car right?

but anyways, where are those dyno sheets!!

 

I didnt have problems installing the itnake i just had to look at the tubes and see what I was supposed to swap out. Also i noticed that Zuesone your engine bay and all is the car in there instructions they give out. I am planning on doing a dyno session. But rite now money is tight and i dont really have have ne more to spare for the car. You guys are more then welcome to donate 5 10 bucks and let it build up and send it via paypal and ill get the dyno done. The closest shop charges $60 i belive for 3 pulls.

 

Ah, another Takeda post, lets see if we get some mixed reviews here as well.
17hp anyone?

 

^^ I already made a post claiming how my butt dyno feels. Def not a 17whp gain. But when i get another dyno done in the future ill let you guys know.

 

So any takers on donating money for me to get a dyno done. Its $60. Ill put up cash to make the difference. Come on people there are a few of you that are very frequent users and sending money via paypal is easy. Im talking like $2 $5 or $10 what every you wanna send. you guys send the money and ill take my video camera and a user on the site to come up and watch the dyno get done.

Ill compare the dyno to my other dyno on the mustang dyno at the same shop about a year ago.

 

^sounds like a scam
hahhaa im just kidding dude.
i would donate you money,
but im getting my rc manifold put on soon so i cant
spare cash lol and i just bought another car so yea.
im broke.

 

How about everyone say how much they are will ing to put and then if we have enough we go ahead and send. I'll put $10 to the cause.

 

I bought one yesterday, it should be here by next week. hopefully I will dyno it and put an end to this bs once and for all!!!!!
