RPA Performance Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 We have been working on our Short Ram Intake and our current prototype is ready for some community feedback. We will post some pictures of how it looks and you can let us know what you think. We can also post logs of anything you like and compare it to the stock intake setup, just let us know which variables you want to test. The Intake is configured to only have one bend to allow the MAF to scale properly. It is also configured so the filter sits behind the outlet of the facotory ram air cover so that it gets as much cold air as possible without the risks of a CAI. We will choose one of the local guys to test the intake for a bit and write a review. Here are a few pics, let us know what you think: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3316/rpasri1.jpg http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/7224/rpasri2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 What size is the maf tube? Are you having someone test that can tune also so they can log and talk about the MAF scaling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPA Performance Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 The maf tube is 66.7mm. (Edit: didn't write down whole measurement initially) The car is going to the tuner on 7/13 at which time we will have full logging informoation but we wanted to get some feedback before then so we could come up with alternative versions if necessary to test.

scoobydoobie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Looks like it needs a heat shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Why did you go w/ the tube smaller than stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPA Performance Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 This one is made to work to get air from the stock ram air cover to cool it. We are also working on a heatshield to see if we can get lower temperatures Looks like it needs a heat shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPA Performance Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 The tests we have done so far have allowed us to get better MAF scaling than the test we did with a 69.8mm housing. This one will be meant for stock size turbos, we will also release one with a big housing that will work well with scaling for bigger turbos. We'll work up some graphs tommorow to show how it scales Why did you go w/ the tube smaller than stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i cant completely tell, but the direction it turns looks like it might get in the way of FMICs, if that's any concern of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
