Accelerated Performance 2013 BRZ Intake Dyno Testing Video
 

The short ram is now available to purchase. I have billet flanges now in stock by the box full to finalize market release.

Intakes will only be offered at this time in a polished version.

Price will be introductory at $250 for the first batch sold. At this time we will also be throwing in complimentary Stickers as well. You can PM me to order or call the shop phone directly (419-474-7170). I will also be adding a new BRZ section to our online website for secure ordering.

Just a little teaser from the past few days. I will give the details and dyno graphs later.

Awesome. That is a short ram intake, right?

I knew an intake would sound pretty beefy. I think I heard vtec kick in!

You would be correct. This video is of the short ram version. We have both a longtube cold air and a short ram at this time we are testing.

Wow.. pretty cool, are you keeping the "sound tube"?

It does have a bit of a "vtec Crack" sound. Its quite loud in person on the dyno with the hood open. After a few more days of dyno data, we'll ad another part to the mix.

Sounds great, can't wait

I approve this video.

Sounds really mean and def sounds like it has some cross-over vtec like sound around 6000 rpms.

That sounds wicked!

any pics of the intake set up ;)

We are testing both with and without. I may make it an option as just the intake itself is much much louder.

I will post pictures of the intake setup maybe today. The results of this version of the shortram look to be quite appealing. We will continue to test in the next few days and if all is well, will start taking orders.

Keep a lookout for info. As soon as I am ready, I will take orders.

Sounds great!

Any gain, even without a tune?

yes we have some pretty substantial gains for just an intake. We have done testing both hot and cold. These cars will pick up 3-4hp just from being cold to hot.

I will post intake dyno graphs maybe later this evening.

Wow, that sounds amazing!!!! Really hope these will be available soon!

If your gain's are as impressive and legitimate as you claim them to be then you will definitely see my money. However your big competitor when it comes to performance right now(for me anyway) is perrin:thumbsup:

Goodluck:happy0180:

Lol yeah Perrin said they are gonna post up about their intake soon too, and according to his description, it sounds like it's also fantastic.

Yes im really excited for perrin! Competition between companies brings better product for consumers like me and you so im just gonna sit back and relax... for now:popcorn:

Competition really is a win-win for the customers. Look how companies are scrambling to produce intakes/exhaust!

oh sex! :party0038:

In for dyno graphs.

Although Perrin is a great company, they are not a direct competitor of mine. They'll make an intake, i'll make an intake, the difference however is that I will make integrated systems. My typical background is 1000+ hp turbo cars both import and domestic. At the end of the day I will be able to do the outrageous stuff with this car, that they will not as a company.

I can assure you that I approach all interests with integrity. You will never get some undocumented claims from me that do not have my word backing them. Ask any customer i've had over the years. If I say the car will do this, it will.

My goal as of now is to build into the staged packages just like we have with other vehicles. I don't see any reason why I wouldn't have turbo variations in the short future. Obviously then, we will be going inside these engines. I've been building engines for the past 12 years. I've done many 600hp boxer engines and don't see any reason why this boxer will differ.

hmmmm them fightin words

What was your baseline? 161.50/136.53?

Graphs are in numerical order. I will try to post a passing by video so that you can hear the intake at a distance. I will be posting exhaust data when I have enough information compiled.

Run's 5 and 6 Differ only in engine operating temperature. It has been clear to us during the testing that these engines lose 3-4hp when not completely up to operating temperature. This engine has about 350 miles on it now.

I'm using line item 1 because it was the highest numbers we ever got without the intake. We also had as low as 157hp and 131ftlbs. I left those graphs out. To much to look at at once.

Coming from a driveability standpoint, you wouldn't think 6hp and up to 6ftlbs would be that noticeable. Partial throttle has the most noticeable difference. The vehicle clearly requires less throttle and is more eager to be pushed.

More to follow as I complete the analysis of the long tube cold air!

Please don't misunderstand my wording as demeaning or trying to start some type of a war. I've been using Perrin products for many years. Its all 100% top notch and high quality. I will continue to use there products for many years to come.

I'm simply stating that I have the ability to be more flexible with the consumers and can go down many avenues that they will not be able to.

Our baseline varied from 157hp and 131ft lbs up to line item 1 on the graph (161hp 136tq)

6ftlbs sounds like a noticeable gain to me, especially on a short ram open element. Id love to see your analysis on the CAI. How are the Intake Temps looking? Id also love to see your heat soak solutions to eliminate failure during HPDE.

Good work Don!!

:) I'm going to put a few more miles on this thing before I crack a 20min session on it. I will post temperature data between the cold air and short ram.

-Don

Weird how the curve just falls straight down to baseline at ~6750 rpm.

That's a lift on the throttle early. Depends on how the operator hits the run stop button.

Love all the data being posted

keep up the good work and I am looking for to products from you

Sounds great:burnrubber:

I don't know, that's about a 5%ish bump, certainly not insignificant.

Regardless, it's great to see another vendor on this car, and I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

pics :(

Can't wait to see that video :thumbsup:

I apologize but I typically deal more w/ turbocharged vehicles where a slight tweak or tune nets 50-100whp. Apparently from the feedback i'm getting 6hp is quite good.
