Your working on a Saturday?

I would've probably already bought one if the data had been posted back when you said it would be :P, jk jk, but I really would've, let's get that data!

I worked all day

Guess if you love what you do then it cant be helped lol. :clap:

I don't hate it, but sometimes I wish it wasn't so hectic all the time.

Waiting for your results! Subscribed :)

any pics of the intake set-up?

Should be some pictures in this thread.

I tested V3 of the Cold Air Intake all weekend long. Looks like we found a variation that works.

-Don

I know your a busy guy, but during the testing phase with the SRI on your car, have you noticed any real world heat soak issues? How does it feel compared to the stock airbox?

No heat soak issues that i've had in DD. However other than a 10 min spirited beatdownl, I've been driving it normal.

I updated the exhaust for sale thread as well for those interested in the pictures that were requested.

Little update from today. Went and did all new data. #'s were all off so we had to do new baselines to test another version of the cold air which doesn't work.

Heres a Picture for now.

Pay no attention to the crazy peaks in the graph. Thats just our wideband connection giving us trouble again.
Its 99 Degrees in the shop today and about 2000% humidity. I can't stand to be here any longer.

Run 14 Short Ram Intake - Power looked to be down. So we decided to baseline again. Figure the terrible weather here was the culprit.

Run#15 and 16 are back to stock setup but without the air horn in the front of the bumper.

Run #17 I had been testing the long cold air all weekend long and it felt great. Well it made great power but it is just far to lean for comfort. Scratch that version as well.

-Don

Still the original version has given the best results hands down. The short ram is still the best viable option so far.

Damn!

Nice! :thumbsup:

So we've updated the Short Ram System again. Found a much better curve w/ this new diverter system were trying.

Again disregard the small air fuel blips. I still haven't fixed the connector on our air fuel meters.

Baselines were from a few days ago in the heat. HP is up a bit. The midrange feels much stronger now. This bests our previous by 1hp everywhere and has a much smoother curve. Torque is not in this graph but remained the same around 140ft/lbs.

The only modification here is the short ram intake system.

Sneak peak of the Original Short Ram Intake system that Don makes. I just installed this today into my vehicle. Full install guide and review will be shared sometime this weekend.

Take a look at this Intake Gallery:

pics of the new intake?

You won't visually see any difference. The Pipe is 2inches longer in the front and a different air filter is used.

-Don

price?

yeah is there a different price/has the product page been updated so that if I order I get the second version?

All -

I wanted to post the following information.

Disclaimer: I want to make sure that this post is definitely not knocking what Don has done, because it has been a fabulous trip so far working with him.

Today in Illinois, it is 104F degree heat with high humidity. Having Don's short ram intake installed for many weeks without error, today the check engine and skid control lights lit up in my 6AT BRZ. Long story short, under various tests, and Acctron Error code P1071 tests (Too Lean in Bank 1 A/F), there is an A/F issue due to the humidity. Therefore, his SRI has been removed, and I reinstalled the stock intake system (with noise generator delete & K&N filter installed). Codes went away. Intake growl is now missing, and the AP exhaust still sounds good, but not as much as when the SRI was installed.

What's next? Hmmm....Don?

The engine bay doesn't look so sexy anymore:

First time we've run into this issue w/ the Short Ram. Cold airs have this version and have not been remedied. I'm going to reinstall on my car for further testing. Seems somehow the heat today has caused an issue. Nonetheless I will figure it out. This is the first incident we've had so far w/ the intakes so I guess were not doing that bad so far. Something I wasn't able to reproduce yet.

That code is really very common on Subarus throughout the years. It's usually either caused by a real lean condition, poor MAF housing design, or in rare instances caused by a metal MAF tube retaining heat which throws off the sensor. I doubt it has anything to do with humidity.

What led you to deduce that it was the humidity, and not your actual AFR being lean....?

Maybe the diameter of the Intake is too big? OEM seems to be around 3.25". I doubt it, I have read how much R&D went into this intake. I'm really impressed.

What's the intake tube inner diameter?
