How to Install Long Tube Cold Air Intakes

Рет қаралды 53,227

Күн бұрын

With the ported intake manifolds installed after the throttle body, the bottle neck of the engine is now the OEM intake box along with its piping. Stillen claims that you will produce an additional 17.5 WHP with the simple installation of these intakes, without a tune. Well, let’s see what kind of improvements we can get with these intakes, AND a tune.
These intake pickups are found right behind the front bumper, allowing it to suck in the ambient outside air without it being heated from the engine. The beauty of the filters being placed there also significantly reduces the chance of sucking in water and hydro locking the engine. The piping is mandrel bent 2.5” OD fully polished aluminum. The intake filters are genuine K&N filters that come with a 1,000,000 mile warranty.

I can relate with him and the way he works. The reason he removes all the components is to maximize the amount of room to work, which also allows you to see components better and therefore you're less likely to forget that one connector or that stupid hose on the bottom of that thing... it's a meticulous mechanics way of ensuring first time quality work.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we can get to 370 crank hp.

Please make a follow up (update) video on how it worked. I’m curious to see if the restriction you added in front of the radiator will affect anything on your cooling system, since the intakes are vacuuming the air around there

The intake filters do not interfer with the radiator. The filters sit almost level with the upper portion of the radiator and don't really block engine cooling. I've had my Stillen setup for years and it works beautiful.

If your placing the intake by the radiator, won't that make it a hot air intake? Sucking up heat from the radiator.

There is a BIT that comes through the intake system, however I haven't seen how it damages anything. There is an oil catch can you can buy to prevent it, however it is quite negligible on a naturally aspirated engine.

I think you will loose power with that cause you'll gonne miss the ram air effect of the stock intake and the point where you get the air is not colder at this location, if you mesure how much further to the front your take in the air, it is what 1 inch? I think if you mount back the factory intake with your tune you'll have better results... just a guess.
