JLT Intake 2015 Ecoboost results, dyno testing

[DanFish]

Oh okay. Well that makes perfect sense now.

Yes, this, thanks. I assumed that it started at ~1.5k and it was zoomed in to show the gains.

Actually the car was an auto, starting a dyno pull on a turbo 4 cylinder in a high gear at 1.5k rpm is asking for spark knock/timing retard. You would never do that on the street (at least I hope so, no easier way to over spin the turbo and build lots of heat).

The power falls off pretty hard on these cars on the stock tune at 6k. This car was an auto and was wanting to shift at 6k on the dyno.

We'll be doing more testing with a manual car for a better graph.

We're really excited to see these on some shop cars and going fast, just got a bunch of tubes in yesterday but they will go quick! We'll have the Bypass valve fittings in Monday to ship more kits out the door.

Don't forget your discount code for the forum!

I spoke to Jay and I will be doing a full comparison of the Airaid to the JLT AT THE TRACK very soon.

Looking forward to it!

JLT I live in the desert and I would want to use a dry filter instead of an oiled filter. Is there a way you guys could make that happen?

I think a lot of people will be looking forward to this

You seem to enjoy being a guinea pig Mike.

By the way, we all appreciate that! People(myself included) are usually relatively skeptical about the manufacturers posting the results, no matter how transparent they seem to be. Consumer comparisons are easier to accept as a true objective comparison, so cheers to doing that and here's to hoping the JLT intake is as impressive as it looks right now :cheers:

Dan,

We don't have them yet, but we will be getting an order of them in about a month. I'll PM you my email and I can contact you when we have them as an option.

I have fun being in on the ground floor with a new platform. It is fun to figure stuff out. I was the same way with my Coyote, and I did some testing for Jay with that car too. That was a manual, so it was a bit more difficult to get consistent results.

CAI's myth busted?

Really dude, give me a break.

Trololol. That is an old video. Changing just the filter wont really do anything. JLT and the most other companies that make CAI's do research and design the entire system for better air flow. For example, the JLT system is 4". People will always have different opinions. But, once you see customer reviews such as those for MMR. There can be no argument for the benefit of a CAI.

Some cars actually don't benefit from a cold air intake, and thats where this pointless video actually came from. BMW's e90 series M3 is a good example, as multiple aftermarket companies came out with CAI's for it, and all claimed gains. Then they slowly started to disappear when people showed no gains on the dyno. When OE manufacturers actually plan for a performance car to have a performance intake, instead of muffling it down, the OE stuff is really quite good. Some turbo cars have good setups from the factory as well.

I'd love to try this when my car arrives. only 4-7 more weeks to go...

Thanks for the clarification. I am new to the car modification world. I've been trying to catch up with online videos and reading

 

[DanFish]

JLT when you get s chance could you do a couple revs or drive by with the intake?

 

[Impulsed7]

Dan fish, the one video has revs sitting still in it. drive bys with this car have more exhaust sound than intake.

 

[Swoope]

the intake is just about sound..

the stock orifice is all the flow that can come into the intake.. jtl intake inlet compressed the stock orifice. as shown in there posted video..

unless you want to claim sucking in hot air.
