Think about it the same way as the intake manifold, one with short runners like the type-r is more optimized towards high rpm than one with long runners like the b18a1. (although advances in design have proved this theory less relevant with certain IM's)
I'm using the comptech ice box.
Way2fastforu the only way to be sure of where each intake performs is to do dyno testing with both intakes. The v2 may feel better than the J's because it has a cold air source, the short ram is sucking in hot air until it is given an isolated or direct cold air source. You should try tests with an open hood, cold air source on both, then a test with the engine hot and the hood closed.
Cold air intakes do have the benefit of better torque in the low to mid rpms vs. a short ram.
i have my j's kit sectioned off from the engine wit a stainless steel plate an a cold feed pipe run thro it...it doesnt absorb any of my engines heat but still find the v2 better in high rpm...only way really 2 find out is a dyno run...but there is not many places round where i live that have a dyno an the ones that are a very expensive
no jus 1 real ek9 an an eg coupe wit a b18c thats my track car...the ek9 is my road car but i also have a b18c in that too...engine condition in both is similiar an mileage is similiar too
haha the coupe has been lightened to extremes...it weighs about the same as my ek9 its jus really a shell wit some carbon bits an engine gearbox an driver seat....in standard form they only weigh 50kilos more than an Sir
hi, can we hve some of that coupe..?
