Seems like you guys got it together at swift racing. Can't wait for my header back exhaust from you guys to get here! This is next on my list. Let me know when I can order...

We will have more info on the piggyback soon. At the moment it is not user adjustable but that could change depending on demand. :thumbsup: We usually will have multiple tuned options for the piggyback depending on the bolt on mods.

Hmm I am also interested in this..
intake w/ piggyback sounds tempting .. was pretty much set with Agency Power exhaust but this could turn my head towards the SRT exhaust..

Again what test? By the way I asked you this on another thread and never got an answer.

Again I'm not saying your wrong, but conventional wisdom does. So I'd like to see these test you speak of, since I can't seem to find any of them on this forum.

Conversations with the engineers at Injen, along with comments by Don @ AP when testing both his cold air and SRI intakes. (e.g. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...old#post248570)

That, coupled with the fact that every intake on the market is a variation of a SRI (so far) is pretty indicative.

Thanks, I must have missed Don posting that info I'll read back through it.

As far as the intakes being SRI, i see them being more of a ram air intake. They are utilizing an effective factory system (the intake piping into the bumper)

Rereading my post, it sounded kind of ****ish. If it came off that way my bad, I have a bad habit of doing that unintentionally

where does the turbonator go? :D

xcelir8brz 08-11-2012 09:18 PM

SRT -

I definitely like this different approach. It actually looks really cool and extremely well made as well as 'industrial' in appearance. Clean welds. Very nice.

I am curious as to how it sounds as well as non-tune HP gains.

Props to you guys for innovation!

Entropy 08-11-2012 09:52 PM

Would look cooler with a filter on both sides :)

I like it.

white devil 08-13-2012 01:52 PM

How about a vid of the intake and one with header back exhaust also.....?

It looks like the ECU of this car uses an MAF to meter incoming air. On systems like these, mods that increase airflow (intake, exhaust) should be automatically compensated for.

Of course, the stock tuning is conservative. It will do better with a tune, but visconti's standard tune should take into account mods of this nature without requiring additional logging/tuning.

The one pitfall is that in order to keep the MAF signal to the ECU correct, the diameter of the tubing where the MAF sits must be maintained. If it's sitting in a larger-diameter tube, the MAF will report less airflow to the ecu than is actually flowing. If that's the case, either a tune specific to the intake needs to be flashed or the MAF signal needs to be modified.

Systems like those on Hondas rely on MAP sensors and throttle position to calculate airflow. These systems will not compensate for devices that change the volumetric efficiency of the engine and will need to be tuned for best results.

We are trying to finish up the heat shield for the filter at the moment and will try to get the car on the dyno by weeks end.

Hix 08-15-2012 09:45 AM

I don't know if this has been answered or not, but if we get this all parts of yours will you be able to give us a map to slap on this piggy-back?

Like some SRT specific tune for intake and full exhaust?

Yes we will have different maps available for our parts.

white devil 08-15-2012 04:16 PM

hurry up and take my money!

Jordo! 08-15-2012 04:44 PM

Beautiful -- but why maintain the 90* bend? Why not just straight into the horn with a nice filter and the air box you've fabbed? Then you could duct air from the side (or possibly even the front) as usual. No room?

Make something like this for the 370Z please!

zoomzoomers 08-15-2012 04:49 PM

That's what I thought it was gonna be initially too. A ram air intake system would be awesome. Especially if it made more power throughout the rev range.

white devil 08-16-2012 09:07 AM

I'm sure the heat shield is going to set this thing off!

was385 08-16-2012 11:14 AM

Assuming the dyno is good, I may be going with the full SRT setup on my car. Is it right to assume you'll be doing this on the dyno with the headerback exhaust also?

Memphis 08-16-2012 11:28 AM

I was hoping they would do something like the Corvette picture shown earlier in the thread.

Im interested in the dyno number this thing puts out because my mind is just boggled at how this is an effective setup past the velocity stack piece.

Disclaimer: I am no rocket scientist and have no intelligence or knowledge of how to effectively suck air through anything more than a straw. Just saying. :thumbsup:

Jordo! 08-17-2012 01:53 AM

Okay, I see why you have things oriented this way. That's a truly beautiful design and the welds look great.

Very intrigued to see how it works out -- tuning will definitely be needed since you have relocated the MAF sensor.

WolfsFang 08-17-2012 02:03 AM

i want to hear this bad boy.

cruzinbill 08-17-2012 02:39 AM

Sweet setup, cant wait to see it finished and power results. Tho, would you guys be willing to put the sound tube connection back on as a per order request. I may be silly but I like how it sounds.

Sorry but there will be no option for the sound tube to go back on the intake system.

With an intake, you wouldn't even notice it.

was385 08-17-2012 03:02 PM

Is there a general price range you're targeting?

Absolutely. Good to know there are at least a few of us on here.

Swift Racing Technologies 08-20-2012 09:32 AM

We have not figured out 100% on what the pricing will be as of yet. As soon as we have all the different parts figured out and we can do a cost analysis we will give you pricing information.

No Limit Motorsport 08-20-2012 09:48 AM

You guys really went above and beyond on the design of this thing. When many companies would just throw a filter on a pipe.

I have seen a lot of parts over the years, and this impresses the hell out of me. Bravo.

So many companies are taking advantage of the limited products available right now . They throw some garbage together overnight and charge a gazillion dollars for it

Im glad a real tuner is taking time and actually developing functional products.

Jidonsu 08-21-2012 06:49 PM

I notice that the front rail (or radiator support of whatever that's called)is now firmly connected to the throttle bottle through the box and tube. Will this setup increase the damage potential to the throttle body and the intake manifold in a front end collision? I guess if you run into something hard enough to hurt that rail , there are more issues to deal with.

Asphaltfrs1 08-21-2012 07:24 PM

This intakes looks pretty sick and unique. With that said, I have a feeling it will over 500 bucks. All your products look and sound awesome. With good performance to boot. But it's also reflected in the prices. You get what you pay for.
Hopefully later on I can afford SRT products. Good job. :)

white devil 08-22-2012 04:03 PM

SRT! SRT! SRT! I need more pics and updates on the intake....please....

Superhatch 08-24-2012 01:06 PM

Dyno update!!!!! :)

Apex Chase 08-26-2012 08:22 PM

Wow. This is interesting.

Memphis 08-26-2012 09:53 PM

Nothing in awhile regarding development. Problem?

No problems, we are simply very busy finishing up our exhaust systems before we can dedicate more time to R&D for the intake system.
