A New Intake Option!

Exactly the same as MMR. I have their intake and costed me 217 shipped.

Didn't your mother ever teach you that if you don't have nothing good to say then don't say anything at all? But anyway their intake is different because it takes air from the factory grill duct and it also has a heat shield.

I assure you our intake is in no way inspired by the MMR unit. Yes, they follow a similar pipe route but the similarities essentially stop there. Our intake will utilize an airbox and also incorporates a silicone inlet hose right off of the turbocharger (as noted above). While I am sure the MMR is a nice product, we did not base our product design off of the MMR unit.

Thanks!

Thanks for chiming in Dan!

Why are you guys using silicone at the turbo end instead of using plastic or whatever other material the rest of the intake will be made of?

Great question! The connection point at the turbocharger will be the location of our silicone hose. This hose will function as a coupler would in the system, which allows the engine to move/twist as the rest of the intake system is rigidly held in place. Additionally, we needed to increase the diameter of the intake from the 1.4" at the turbo to the 3.5" piping we use for the rest of the system. The silicone hose we developed allows for a smooth, gradual transition from the smaller to larger diameter. Lastly, the silicone piece allowed us to incorporate the two molded CNC-machined connection points for the BPV and breather hose.

After the silicone piece, our remaining intake tube will be constructed from mandrel bent aluminum.

Thanks!

Why silicone:

Thanks! Silicone is a great alternative to rubber components in automotive applications. Silicone will provide greater heat and pressure tolerance and is less prone to degradation over time. The primary benefit is in terms of reliability and longevity.

Your lack of attention to detail scares me knowing you're modding your car. If you are going to make a claim like this, please analyze and provide the details on how they are the same instead of falsely leading people who also won't take the time to analyze the details.

Mishimoto, any idea when a finished product will be available for purchase, and or guess at what the price range will be?

 

[YellowBee]

I'll say whatever I want. Don't like it, then don't read it. Simple. And mmr is similar to this. Mishimoto what is your pricing on this?

I was hoping to see some testing on heat soak through the metal piping after the filter on the cai. And compare to the plastic stock tubing. Just seems with so much of it in front of the motor it has to effect temps. Can you test that for us please?

I would just think since you are happy with your MMR then no reason to really say anything about another vendors intake when it is clearly different.

Better to just not say anything - we know you like your MMR intake... but it's not like you are contributing anything useful to the forum/discussion in this regard.

I agree -- I wonder if metal is just their testing material? I would imagine final products would not be metal since it gets hot very quickly..

Thanks for the interest guys! As long as our testing continues to show positive results, we are anticipating a release of this product in around 3-4 weeks. We are also planning to launch a discounted pre-sale within the next 2-3 weeks.

Pricing is not yet finalized. We should have that information available soon!

Great questions guys! We've used aluminum piping on all of our intake systems so far and we have not had any issues with heat soak. Aluminum is a material that quickly dissipates heat. That being said, we can certainly try to collect some inlet temperature data comparing the stock intake to our intake system.

Thanks!

Thanks! Living in the desert every degree counts during the summer. The intake for the ecoboost just seems freakishly long compared to other cars I've owned. The engine bay is sealed really well so I think it will show a increase over the plastic.

Gotcha! The long intake piping routes the filter location farthest from the exhaust/turbocharger system, so in that sense it is effective for obtaining fresh airflow and reducing the impacts of heat soak. Also keeep in mind that after the intake, airflow passes through the hot turbocharger and into the intercooler for additional cooling. This too will impact eventual intake air temperature.

Thanks!

We should have another update on development Friday!
