Anyone have any dyno runs on the V2 CAI?

Thanks!

 

You are kind of correct. The design of the AEM CAI v2 was still made to get cooler air and better flow into the engine. But they also maximized the harmonics of the air intake so that it would assist in better air flow. Not that these harmonics technically increase the air flow it just optimizes it so that the sound does not have a negative effect on the air flow.

And from a couple of articles I have read from SS they dyno tested the results and found that it works.

The numbers aren't as good as a CAI, but better than typical SRIs.

but it costs more than a CAI. AEM also describes the V2 as their top intake performer over their own CAI. Check out their site.

 

at least you don't have any worries about hydrolocking (sure you might say you can prevent it, but sometimes accidents happen) with the v2, since it's a short-ram style.

 

The track shop I use, says that the V2 makes "slightly" less HP and isnt as loud as the CAI. I went with the CAI because it was 80$ cheaper, and I dont mind loud cars!

 

They have all the dynos on their site. All will show that the V2 not only makes more hp but also more torque.

 

You've got to look past the BS, noob.

 

i've seen more then one car in person with the v2
a) its not a cai
b) its not as loud as a cai
c) performance, i dunno.... racing is bad for you! lol

 

V2's mid range is pretty good, thats from my dyno I did.

 

the numbers are better than a cai check out aem's site and look at the dynos

Umm yeah numbers are all lies. All that dyno and whatever whatever, they're all bullshit. hahaha. How about you actually do some research before you make a post. That way you wont look like a fool trying to redeem himself. Its quite sad to see a noob calling others "noob"

For those who arent ignorant and want to check out the stats between the V2 and a CAI, check out http://www.AEMPOWER.com

 

Good job little Unit, you're the exact type of sucker that AEM is looking for. Ever hear of an independent dyno, moron? Go back to your tuner mags, noob.

 

How bout both you n00bs stfu and keep this **** outta my thread.

I'm looking for opinions from people who've used the V2.

 

Learn to search. Tons of dynos out there.

 

As you said dynos can lie.

I searched on here and couldn't find much.

AEM also has large fans right on the intake with the hood open when dynoing these cars, do you think that could cause some discrepency in the 'actual' dyno numbers of these intakes. A short ram is a short ram no matter how you try and convince yourself otherwise, short rams will never make the power of a cold air because they are not cold air intakes....The minute you close your hood you are sucking in less restricted hot air.

 

I'd take a CAI anyday over a V2...

1st off if you ever hydrolock you deserve it
2nd you gotta love that CAI noise
3rd CAI is cheaper and been around proven performance
4th even if the V2 is "superior" its not by much

^^^agreed. Just in case this hasn't been clarified already, a V2 intake is a V2 intake...it's neither CAI or SRI...it's in a class of it's own.

 

yo g money can you explain the hondata #4 i thought they only flashed ecu's for k series?

but some car with cai actually loose torque, turblence or whatever it is

 

I need a new intake anyways.. I will give it a try

 

I dont have one but I installed one with a friend in his 94 accord. Its a short ram. Its a waste of money. You can spend half on a regular short ram and use the rest of the money for another mod and the hp increase will be more than the V2. I believe the V2 makes more power over a regular short ram if thats the onyl mod you have. BUT, when combined with other mods it makes no difference. An I/H/E combo can yeild different hp outcomes depending on the set up. So yeah... basically an intake is an intake.

 

about your question joe...

the hondata#4 is for the RSX Type S which is a kseries engine...it lowers your vtec point to 5200 and your redline to 8600. Also it gives you more hp and torque like their website says
