Musclemerc's CAI Kit

^^ Rex's kit will be 1 off, it will not look like this one due to a lack of space from the Eaton swap. I have to get creative on how to implement my design in such a confined space.

I guess I have to show my hand and release my RAI kit sooner :eek:
 
My kit is ready for production. The cost will be $416.00 shipped they are on my site posted on page#3.

Not trying to knock a product but it whould be cool to get some dyno numbers or if not sendd it to one of the vendors with a dyno
 
Sorry you do not want me in your forum travis! Delete away!

Well its not like you have been any type of friend to me over the years.
Both you and Dennis have pursued me without cause.

But to follow up on your point, I have datalogs that show my only claim. LOWER IATs

I have yet to make any type of HP claim, but my dyno is comming and even then you will move the goal posts

Wont you?
 
Just prove what you claim. Another member asked about the dyno and you ignored him! What makes me diffarant. CAI intakes have had lots of research and dyno time performed before they were released for sales. The companies that produce them have hard to data to back up the product. Do You! Spend the money as they have and you will get my respect. I am done now. Carry on Gents!
 


This is the only claim I make reguarding my CAI kit.

Your IATs will be -BELOW AMBIENT TEMP when other CAI kits will have you running +10*~20* above ambient my kit will be 2*~4* -BELOW ambient temp. At a stop my CAI kit will raise up +4* above ambient while others at the same stop will be +50*~60* above ambient.

Do you really beleive that all those companies have "hard data" to back their clsims? As for those that have "dyno backed results", beware as most of it is crap. I've installed CAIs/RAIs that have dyno backed results and the hp gain I realized was a big "0." JLT, C&L, WMS, BBK, all of them. I don't beleive the hp claims of many of the aftermarket companies or those hp claims provided in magazine articles. MMR says you can get 20rwhp from their throttle body and 10-12rwhp from a spacer, do you believe those claims? What about the supposed 18rwhp gain from their electric water pump? I've also seen PHP claim 20hp for a cobra air box and 18-25hp and an extended rpm range of 500-800rpm for an extrude honed intake. With that spacer, ported intake, throttle body and water pump we all could pick up 70hp or more without even adding headers.

If manufacturers only sold items that were proven to make more power the aftermarket would 1/2 the size it is now.

Regarding musclemerc's CAI, he claims it provides colder air and if these claims are true, it works. With that, cold air means more power. Lower IATs mean you can dial in more timing so what's not to like?
 
FYI Todd... I'm not well liked around here. Most would perfer I dissapear.
I could invent the one thing that could save the world and these guys would'nt give up even then

I am very impressed with your CAI. It is the first one I have seen that draws outside air.:D

I am very curious as to how your kit lowers IAT to below the Ambient Temp? Please explain how it lowers the IAT below the "AMBIENT TEMP"?

Do you mean below the measured temp?

I'm thinking he meant ambient engine bay temp.

Outside Air Temp.= ambient temp.

Not engine bay temps.

The ambient temp is registered from the EATC control, IAT is registered from the sensor inside the MAF. My testing started with a Stock CAI, then I tested my JLT, then I tested 3 versions of my CAI. All with the same eqipment all on days with the same temp and humidity readings

I even started a thread last week and got IAT readings from other members including you sailsmen. http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=71010


So how did you get your ambient temp reading? The same way I got mine?

The highest I see at closed throttle is about 12* above ambient.
Air to Air dyno was 115*.
My IAT hit 167* at the track when ambient was 95*.
At 19 psi the water to air could not extract the heat. IAT at the track was 220*. Switched to air to air and IAT 125* to 167*at the track.
Water to Air At the Dyno the temps were 170*.
My IAT is measured before the Meth.​

ps With out posting your mods the IAT is meaningless.:rolleyes:

I'm curious about getting cooler than ambient as well, logic (to me anyway) would indicate that your could match ambient by drawing in outside air, but how can you get below it without some sort of mechanical cooling? (Not doubting you can do it, I'm just not smart enough to get it figgered out... ;))
 
I don't know about using the outside temp readout as a accurate measuring device of ambient temperature. Mine is all over the place and I could have 3 cars parked beside me and we would all be a degree or two off on the display.
