Subaru WRX/STI Carbon Fiber intake
Subaru aluminum oil cap
oil catch cans

You guys gotta check them out!

Best intake ive seen!

short ram = fail

[blacksti]

damn i want two of those catch cans!

[ryan_west06]

Fo shizzle bizzle!

how much hp would the aluminum cap give us???

a CAI is just as much fail. once its boosted, its going to reach the same temperature either way.

Ideal gas law rules. P = ρRT

P.S. NASIOC rules, too

[djerickd]

yessir!

[blacksti]

cf=no heat soak!

[warfare]

I would like to see the inside of those catch cans before buying...

Go feed 30F air into your turbo and measure the output temperature. Do it again with 130F air.

Let me know how that goes

this is florida, where is the air 30 degrees?

CAI can be FAIL because you can hydrolock

intake is only as cool as the intercooler is cooling anyway.

I got the impression you were smarter than this from previous posts.

So, because FL doesn't get 30F temps, none of the rules apply?

It doesn't matter what the lowest temperature in FL is. It was an example with a dramatic ambient temperature difference to make a point. If you'd like a more "Florida Realistic" example, go feed 80F into your turbo and measure the output temperature, then do the same at 130F.

Intake air temperature is always relevant. Turbo/super-charging does not negate this. Every degree of temperature from outside your air filter to your combustion chamber counts.

Sure, CAI's fed from near the ground are prone to sucking in water. Where is the rule of law that says a "cold air intake" has to live near the ground? Feed the air from the front of the car to a thermally insulated filter box in the engine bay.

dude honestly, i think you and i both know there is no difference between a CAI and a short ram! the heat is still there. Its still gonna be hot as balls if the intake is like 2 inches longer going into the fender!

so then enjoy your extra 2 hp

seriously with the way it rains here in the summer i'd be scared of sucking in too much water

my vette has a vararam on it...and its lowered. i do not want to drive it in the water because a big enough puddle and there is a real engine bill for you.

yes cai gets lower temps of course. but seriously how many hp will either intake add to a suby like 3? oh i has dyno graphs of 10-15whp or whatever. most aren't needed unless you are installing an fmic or get above the 300whp level where the stock airbox starts to become restrictive. so yes, im an idiot i just said find me 30 degree air in florida. its impossible. maybe 2 days a year...30 degree air + rain= snow how often do you see that in fl!?
