Hi Shaw,

What's your IAT during tunning, cruising around town and WOT...both measure please?

Christian

 

i just had it sitting around the intake so it would pick up ambiant air. seemed like the best way to get a common temp for all cylinders.

 

Everyone is asking for pics of airboxes on an ITB set up.

Here is mine and no it is not showing its potential yet, but it should be running again this week.

 

Hey while I appreciate the thought.....I've seen this pic a while back....It is sexy, until you see the price tag.

The Harrop pic on my buddies that I sent you the link to, is half of the carbon one...

 

Trust me, I will be fine buying half of the price of anything for the same exceptionnal result...

How are your buddies intakes acting with air boxes and air filter in a daily drive situation please???

any data, video, or dyno session to report yet?

Christian

 

A few more pics of the Va Speed setup.

That's definitely some good power from that size cam and some stock castings.

 

perfect hood for that intake setup too

 

Dude, they run between $10,000 - $17,000 for the LSx engines. If you PM your email address I can send you all the price sheets on them from Kinsler for the LS1/6/2/3, LS7 straight stacks and LS7 cross ram intake.

They're pathetic how much they charge. They/ll make no more power than the Jenvey or Harrop intakes will.

You can look into these also, not sure about these guys I haven't tried contacting them. Scroll down to all the LSx intakes.

What is the price of the ITB set up's out there
Kinsler $????
Harrop $???? i was told this one just went up in price
Extrudabody $3600
Jenvey $3200
TWM $4995
Hilborn $?????
Looking at what is out there witch one has made to road race car .
I have looked at most units out there and this list are the top pick out there right now

 

I talk to the guys at extrudabody from time to time they are good guys over there.They come to see us at the PRI show in Orlando we also see Kinsler TWM Hilborn and lot of the other performance guys out there .First off Jenvey
build there intake for performance before they build a street set up .Most of your intake's hit the tracks first and test beds all over the place before they get it right for the street .

Picked mine up today..

 

We are looking into the LS3 ITB set up as part of the line up from Jenvey if you would like to see this kit made at a good price send a email to sales@jenvey.co.uk we have had calls on this kit but the guy in the UK will not build it if they is no market for it I told them if we can build it for around $3300 shipped it will sell .All it would take is email's from the USA or this forum to say there is a market for this kit then it will get made
Mack
PS send it to Simon or Mike

 

Just some info: Many of the benefits from ITBs come from the fact that each intake runner is being separated from the others. In addition, the larger the plenum (i.e volume under the bonnet for individual filters) the greater the helmholtz resonance pulses.

By putting an airbox on ITBs and linking the runners, you sacrifice these benefits. On WOT, it should be no better (and perhaps worse) than if you have a single/dual TB. The one remaining benefit is throttle response due to ITB placement. The downside is you have ITBs causing turbulance near the valve.

This said, RAMPANTs setup is still better than a normal intake due to the straight runners and the two banks are partially separated, which should give less interference and a better idle on a bigger cam.

There are pics of the C6R airbox's in there. Very similiar to Rampant..

 

On my call to jenvey today i asked if they had any Emails from this forum on the LS3 set up.
And not one .
The LS3 is this not the new heads on this one?
we might need more info ?

 

Yes similar... and you can see they have tried to make the plenums as large as possible while still packaging neatly within a confined space. I would love to see them with the covers removed from the plenums.

As already discussed, the main benefits of ITBs on a race car is the throttle response/control. The power is limited by the restrictors.

 

we are looking into a factory 5 with a LS2 in it .If we get this one we will post pics

 

some sponsors would disagree....

 

A little OT, but I was interested in an Inglese setup for an L92. They said this, "We do but it is (currently) an extremely custom piece." I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow for more info.

Another alternative (Hogans lower intake/Inglese stacks)
