Injen intake done

[redmption]

Well its finally done and they will be released in two weeks. I talked to the dude about a group buy and he said to go through one of their vendors :wtf: I guess they wont do group buys so we would get a better deal through an authorized dealer. Also I dont have dyno results :wtf: because they know the gain is the same as Stephs because they didnt change the layout too much. I did want to see what my UDP added to my car, but I guess beggars cant be choosers. As for the performance, the car runs butter smooth, great response, definetly feel the gain and the turbo and BOV sound sweet. I guess I have to pass the torch to someone else on setting up a group buy with a vendor. Whos it going to be?

[Heathen23]

Fantastic news redemption. Thanks for the update!

[ForceFed]

Hey I have had good luck lately at setting up group buys and talking to vendors , so I will give it a shot tomorrow.I will talk to my people and see whats up!I can assume that Injen fixed all the issues they were having?:confused: I will call the guys at Injen tomorrow and see what they have to say!:cool:

[SpicyMSP]

all issues were fixed FORCEFED contact me for Vendor info. I have a few listings that Injen told me to go through

[redmption]

No point in calling Injen they will just point you to a dealer. I just talked to Steph and she said she was going to set it up anyway, you two can work it together.
There are no more stall problems, no more stumbling that I saw, I didnt get to test it too much though. I give a more thorough test result tomorrow

[ForceFed]

I'm not going to talk to Injen about a GB,just for some info.I got a Local dealer here in town that has sponsored me in the past and gives me the HELLA HOOK-UP on parts .I will talk to him tomorrow and see if he can get us an excellent price for buying in quantity!
Thanx,Matt:D

[Heathen23]

Not to butt in but why don't you two (Spicy and ForceFed) just test the waters with each of your prefered sources and see who comes up with the best prices on estimated quantities?

Just a thought. If I'm way off base here - my bad.

[redmption]

good idea heathen, the best price wins of course!

[Vicocola]

praise for spicy/red (bowdown)

u ppl rules (rockon) (yippy)

[redmption]

Thanks homie, I suffered big time leaving my car with them 7 days, 2 of them on the weekend. Steph knows how I felt but it was for the good of MSP society. All of you will love how your car runs when you put urs in

[SpicyMSP]

should we start a thread on how many people are serious buyers? Or is that AFTER we get prices?

[redmption]

start a list, with a guessed price of $250

[ForceFed]

I'm game lets do that! It doesn't hurt anyone,It may just get us a better price on the intake,especially if we work together to get the vendors competing against each other for the highly anticipated and greatly wanted business!This might just work to get us all a real sweet deal!:D
Thanx,Matt:cool:

[SpicyMSP]

actually, I would rather wait until we have a concrete price. Im sure others will agree

[redmption]

yeah but the more ppl you can tell them are buying the better price you get

[SpicyMSP]

well the more people who dont know the price.. wont comitt.. so i disagree.

[ForceFed]

Vendors will be able to tell you how many they need to sell to give a price break so we don't really need concrete numbers IMO.

[redmption]

Bah! Most ppl want an intake, they arent comitting, they are just saying they are interested and would help you establish the best price

[SpicyMSP]

ok Ill start a thread : brb

[redmption]

True force, but they are also more willing to haggle that price if you have ppl with cash in hand

[Heathen23]

Here I go again with my butting in....

People want this mod pretty bad. People expect to pay between $200-$300 for sure. You may want to get a feel for the demand before even bothering with your vendors to let them know you mean business. If you come to them with a list of 40 buyers they may just suprise you with a kick ass price. I'm guessing you will easily get half the MSP owners that regularly post on this board to commit to a group buy regardless of price. People just seem to want this CAI in the worst way (wink)

Thanks to all involved in the development on this project. Cheers to the devoted MSP owners (drinks)

Redemtion your are VERY right in what you said

AS ARE YOU Heathen23!

Matt:cool:

[Heathen23]

Damn Spicy....Fast enough???? lol

[ForceFed]

BTW, Much thanks to both Steph and Redemtion on their effort W/Injen on being the guinea pigs for this project!I'm sure all MSP owners will appreciate your efforts!(thumb)
Personal Thanx from me,Matt!

[SpicyMSP]

well worth it , I can assure you that!

when you're without your car for a month waiting for hardpipes to be fabbed up then you can complain

[turboge]

Congrats Jack!

If it hadn't have been for you two we'd all be twiddling our thumbs waiting for a complete intake.

[funnylittlman]

WOOOT!!! :D I posted in the other thread.. keep me posted! and THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU (sorry for the caps, just wanted to make it clear ;) )

[Chojin]

Hey redmption,

Do you have any pictures of the new and improved intake? I'm sure many on here would like to see the differences between Steph's setup and the new setup. Let us know.

Thanks.

-Shawn

[turboge]

We'll have pics this weekend.

[jroof]

Did Steph ever post the kind of gains that we can expect from the intake? $250 would be okay, just wondering what it'll produce.

[TampaBlackMSP]

Thank you very much to all who put in the effort, and who are shopping their sources/vendors - I already posted in the group buy thread that I was interested, but I wanted to make it known here too, just for good measure... :D

I can't wait for this one...!! Woohoo!

[SpicyMSP]

gains will be 12-15 hp
PM me for pics or dyno video

[jroof]

Steph, check your PM...

[OrangeAppeal]

Not to be a downer here, but...how are we sure the stalling problem is fixed? Did they test this "new" intake on Spicy's as well? Did they try the "old" intake on redmption's car first to see if it would stall and then work from there? If they did either, did it in fact stall or did it fix Spicy's stalling problem?

Is anyone else following my line of thought here....maybe it works on redmtion's MSP, but others will have problems with it...after all, not everyone is complaining about the hiccuping, some people have stalling issues without the intake that hasn't been fixed, not everyone gets the clunking noise....how do we know that this intake is not going to cause stalling on others cars?

I'm just trying to look out for everyone here.

[turboge]

We will be testing it on 2 cars in the next 2 weeks. One of them is hers.

[twiztedjeckel]

so whats the deal? how come her car was stalling? and what was the remedy for this?

people are going to want to know

[SpicyMSP]

ok... mr. people are going to want to know, first of all ... i said all questions go to jack (redmptions ) PM box...
secondly.. all questions are answered.. in the thread i posted before this.. all about why it was stalling.
Im sorry to do this, but i am very tired of answering the same questions

[twiztedjeckel]

that wasn't directed to you. it was meant for Redemption. sorry i wasn't more clear.

plus there's like 12 threads on the same topic and i've pretty much ignored every one of them and didn't plan on going back to re-read.

[SpicyMSP]

oh ok that makes sence... *sigh

[twztdmazdaspeed]

im in for sure, as far as price, i would say they should cut every1 a break to at least around $200. if 30-40 people buy at once, they should take $25-50 off.

[TampaBlackMSP]

The VW folks on the Vortex experienced similiar price cuts, depending on how many people there were - not uncommon if there's like 20 or more of us, which it seems like there will be...

Oh, have I mentioned that I'm interested in one too?! jk :D

[2K3 MSP]

I'm with twizted on this one. Too many threads to read through...I'm interested on the Injen if it is close to $200, and as long as I know it won't stall(will it come with a gaurantee??). I have plenty of other mods to spend money on rather than something that may fail. I may have to hold off until, like Braden said, it is tested more.

[redmption]

All of your worries can now dissapear. I have been driving hard, soft, sweet, sour and every other way you can drive a car testing the intake. All stall problems are gone, I was even had a near stall in idle with the UDP and thats gone! The hesitation is 99.9% gone. With the K&N we though it was sweet, it definietly kills the stock box but the intake is a 1000 x's better. With the stock box/K&N I would notice huge hesitations sometimes. It would be like the car would take a deep breath when I hit the pedal and never let go of it. Only once have I noticed the car take a "breath" with the intake but it let it go almost instantly and nailed me into my seat, it was actually kind cool. I love my Injen intake and I know all of you will too.
Another example, I used to take turns, down shift into second before the turn and the hit the gas on the way out and it would lag building up speed, tonight on the way home I took the same turn, hit the gas on the way out and it was like the hand of god slapped my car on the ass. A huge difference...

[redmption]

Almost forgot, the stalling/stumble problem was from the BOV recycle line was dumping too close to the air mass sensor, which caused turbulence, hence the stumble/stall. They moved it way down the pipe so there are no problems now

[servoeyes]

Hey Redmption...any word on colors for this thing? you think they'll go with just polished like they did for the mp3 CAI? If that's the case then I need to find a good place to powder coat in CT...dark red with a metal flake!(bling)

[SpicyMSP]

polished, and black so far
NO gun metal

[ForceFed]

Hey Redemtion nice to hear of some real world driving differences!And oh yes ,if it was dumping to close to the MAF sensor turbulence will wreak havoc on the MAF signal to the ECU!actually sounds like it was a pretty easy fix,just move the re-entry point of the BPV!
Good news,Thanx,
Matt:cool:

[funnylittlman]

Oh black would be nice b/c those mazda techies wouldn't even think that it was after market! +1 for injen!

Red Metal flake would be badass!!!

[funnylittlman]

IS there a relocation of the coolant tank???

[Dexter]

i think there is, but its not that hard, i checked it out yesterday, its just moving the bracket

[TampaBlackMSP]

Ok then, when the time comes, how do we ensure we're on the "list?" I don't wanna miss out - thanks for the great update/driving test redemption...

Anyway, I just don't want to be a pain and nag anyone about this - I simply want to be included in the buy...thanks for listening...

[Dexter]

group buy section, theres a thread in there

[TampaBlackMSP]

Well then I guess I'm golden, because I've already "signed up" there... :D

[Dexter]

i have 488 dollars in paypal, like i said , just tell me where to send it! :D :D :D

[funnylittlman]

send it to me!!! :D

[orng_mazdaspeed]

Is the injen intake a short ram or cool air intake system?

[SpicyMSP]

CAI

[Spiro]

Before I found this forem I had sent an email to Injen (april 24). This was there response to the question if a CAI was coming for the mazdaspeed.


Yes we do, we are working on it right now actually.
Expect in early June.
Regards,
Russell

Hopefully it is sooner ( I have no patience hehe)

Very nice board here and thx to all that worked with Injen to get this CAI going

Looks like I have to find 200.00$ in the family budget somewhere?
Hmm do I really need that 401k?
MBC,downpipe, Injen, boost guage, arggh I am addicT!

[JMS'sMSP]

This is getting crazy now all this talk and still no final numbers on anything... Everyone wants this intake so bad we are all going nuts.

[turboge]

Mmmm like ground beef!

[OrangeSpeed]

Will I still be able to run an atmospheric BOV with this? Dont think i should have a problem but just checking if the injen will still allow that with its setup.

[MazdaDryvr]

All I can say is GIMME!

:cool:

[so-cal msp]

Would someone please post some pics of what the final product is going to look like. I need something to drool over for the next couple days.

i asked redmption about this and he said yeah its cool

[OrangeSpeed]

Thanks sounds like this is gonna be a sweet mod. Later

[boostedmazda]

does it get rid of the stumble when you shift hard and the stumble when you press the gas hard?

[MazdaDryvr]

That would be nice wouldn't it. Glad to know mine isnt the only one that does that. Had me concerned for abit.

[mtbjedi]

yep..its as common as the clunk

I also sent an email to them this week, and got a response from Russell saying "will be out this summer..the machining has been very complex"

[redmption]

99% of the stumble is gone, but I think it is restricting the amount of boost I can run, it is hitting the cut at 10-11ish

Ok, so what does it look like? We were told there would be pictures over the weekend...and testing on 2 different cars? Where are the pictures and what were the results of the testing?

Not trying to be pushy...well, ok, I am, but....wait, no but, I want answers damnit :p

[mspeedpro]

is it a difficult install? does it sound a lot better? can u hear the stock BOV better?

[turboge]

Pictures coming soon, we forgot while doing the MBC and gauge install, but I'll be meeting up with him again and we'll take pics. He may have access to a digicam prior to that so we'll see. It's not a whole lot different, just the BOV return.

[servoeyes]

Ok...I figured I would post this comment here so you guys don't have to sift thru it in the broup buy (since my names already in the pool!)
(/rant on)
People are complaining that this thing is going to cost over 200$...I have to ask wtf?!?! How much would you normally pay for an injen intake? 300 or so...and in most cars see a tiny boost in performance! Here we have 12-15 whp - WHEEL HORSE! We're talking 20+ crank horse! Not to mention that it's across the whole powerband! Where else can you get that much hp and tq. from at this cheap a price? Not to mention how easy this thing should be to install...it just bolts on! And hell...most of us in the group buy just want to save SOME cash...we're not even doing the work to set it up. Spicy, red, and I think someone else are chopping down doors at vendors to get up anything! How about we give them a tip with each order?
(/rant off)

Of course...that's just my opinion...I'm sticking to it. And though it's been said before, Thanks to Steph and Red for giving the untimate sacrifice...losing your car to mad scientists and not knowing how it will come back!

[turboge]

Yup.

[SpicyMSP]

ha ha thanks for the props!
A thank you also goes out to Turboge, for driving me out there, to pick up and drop off my car.

[mspeedpro]

lol ultimate sacrifice? i would have to say theyre extremely lucky, not tormented. id make drives for a free CAI any day. not to downplay their contributions b/c they DID get this product on the market but i dont think we owe them anything, and at the same time- they dont owe us explenations or encouragement. any new info on a shop to do this?

[servoeyes]

:confused:
What do you need to find a shop for?!?! It's a tube with clamps and screws...do we really need to hire a grease monkey for that?
;)

[Dexter]

yeah a shop wtf its an air intake not an engine rebuild...

[mspeedpro]

i meant a shop to do the group order cocks.

in the sense that you forgot your comma, cock.

so all we need to do is find a vendor and the group buy is on???

Yes. This is called price hunting.

[nattyboy513]

is speed options still going to help us out? (sorry if this is repeted stuff i was in florida on spring break last 10 days or so.)

[Vicocola]

Ooo i got a question and i dont know if anyone answered yet... think replacing K&N filter with the one injen provide will help getting more power out?? or should be the same as long as an air-filter is in there?!

[mspeedpro]

one quick question, what is the aprox install time? are we gonna need any new brackets or screws not included in the kit? are there instructions or just a box of parts?

[Dexter]

i heard from a distributor that the intakes are not shipping until mid summer anyways.

[CRDMS1]

Allright, I'm in. This will probably be my first mod after the break-in period.

hey i know im gonna get flamed to hell for not searching for 14 hours but... does anyone have the link saved that spicymsp had her car with the intake recorded? i remember it sounded bad ass in the vid and i think if i see it will rekindle my love. anyone got the link??

Alot of talking and still no Group Buy?? Are we still waiting on Injen here or what??

[Logan]

We're waiting for hell to freeze.

[turboge]

PM Forcefed for answers to your group buy questions, he is searching for a vendor. If anyone cared to ask in the beginning I could have done this groupbuy through my business at very good rates, but it is now out of my hands.

Once again, questions regarding the product PM Redmption, questions regarding the Groupbuy PM Forcefed.

[JMS'sMSP]

Man why didnt you speak up and say something then??

[122 Vega]

AT this point I'd pay retail if we could just get them.

[servoeyes]

I second that motion...even though I have 140$ debt for engineering books this month. Oh well...still...the sooner the better.

[122 Vega]

Only $140? Be glad you're not in Nursing school. My NICU book is $170 by itself...

[servoeyes]

Only $140? Be glad you're not in Nursing school. My NICU book is $170 by itself...

Believe me...I've had to pay that price for thin little p.o.s. books. I'm not in school anymore, but I can't fina an aerospace job so these books are just to keep up to date in my field. I'm really excited about the atmospheric re-entry aerodynamics one...sorry...off topic. I can't wait for this CAI!! I think everythings all broken in on my car (the turbo sounds real nice now...I'm anxious to hear my baby take a deeper breath!)

[nattyboy513]

has anyone talked to larger online companies about possibly hosting a group buy? a place like overboost.com, optauto.com, or maybe one of the protege-friendly sites?? i mean the least they can do is say no.

[SpicyMSP]

Let me say this.. Your complaints about the time does not make this come any quicker. I am very frustrated as well. Please help me out by not posting your complaints that I can do nothing about. I spoke with the Injen reps this Sat. and they said two weeks. Again I am sorry but there is NOTHING I can do.

I dont want to piss anyone off or anything but wasnt it you (Spicy) that started the Group buy thread? When you start a thread like that and then say we cant get the intake yet you have to expect a little feedback... no??

[servoeyes]

Ouch...I hope my post didn't come across as a complaint! I'm extremely appreciative for everything that you've done thus far. I'm just excited...but things take time. If I could just slap down my credit card and make shtuff appear then I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much...it's almost like that whole distance makes the heart grow fonder (or sometimes curiouser...hehe) but in this case it's patience makes the result that much sweeter. Just do what you need to do, Spicy! Don't stress yourself out...peeps will get the point! If not just bust out your adamantite claws and cut them to...oops, that's Wolverine, sorry.

:D

[bcbadboy]

GEEZZZ
LMFAO

I told everyone like a month ago that I spoke to someone in engineering at Injen and he said that the CAI for the MSP would not be out till late summer.

Good luck with the group thing.

yes it was me. yes i expect feedback. But it does get to a point where things get alittle crazy. All these misconceptions about when the Intake will be out especailly. I went to Rim of the world rally this weekend. injen had a booth. I knew the reps behind the booth. We talked about the date and they said 1-2 weeks. That means vendors will have part numbers any day now... along with pricing. Please be patient.,,, i am not delaying this any. I will get pricing as soon as i get it.

Great job Spicy! Thanks for the update.... I think I speak for most of us when I say that waiting is to be expected. Updates are all that our intake hungry brains need to calm us down;)

[AFaceInTheCrowd]

spicy, you went to rim? i heard it got all freakin muddy and nasty and not very cool. i was supposed to drive, but i had to get my wisdom teeth out. i got high on Nitrous Oxide!!!!!!!!!

well about the intake, i would like one but can't find $200, it being time for prom($250 went to that). but i do hope there is another group buy sometime later for those of us that lack funds and want an intake.

[SpicyMSP]

Rim was awesome. PM me if you want pics

[MrRoseBlackMSP]

So 1-2 weeks huh? so that means i can go to any performance store and theyll be able to get me my intake??? sorry for the stupidity but im new to the waiting game and i know ill have to get use to it with my MSP

[servoeyes]

Whelp...if your local store carries injen chances are they won't just buy this thing. They'll know there are only 1750 of us nationwide. In other words, you'll probably have to have them order it. That being the case, check out the group buy that Spicy set up...This way you still order & recieve said part, and we all save money. Just my humble opinion...

[MrRoseBlackMSP]

ok then im in for the group buy, you guys will have to help me through this cause i ahve no idea what intails on a group buy

[servoeyes]

don't worry...see how many posts I have? I'm new at this too:D

I forgot this before...put your stake on the thread in the group buy section. Here's the link

I'm gonna have to agree :D

BTW servoeyes, your car was made right after mine... that's pretty damn cool

[OrangeAppeal]

Not sure how many of you are aware of this, but I found it on the Photo/Video forum. It's a video posted by Spicy, from the perspective of her car. Now, you might ask why I am posting this here? Well, the BOV you hear in the beginning of the vid is the stock BOV heard through the Injen Intake. I just thought some of you might be interested.

BOV sound in video (http://fallrevolution.com/video/exteriorhighangle.wmv)

Once again, the BOV heard in that video is from a WRX, it is not coming from her car and does not sound anything like what the stock Bypass valve sounds like with the Injen. For all of you that want to know what it REALLY sounds like I will create a new thread tonight after working on Jack's car with a video of it in car.

Sorry to say that is my car.. and you are wrong

I can't tell which is which!?!? :wtf:
Is it that short whistling/chirping sound? That's pretty cool...it's quite audible over the wind. Why are you sorry to say that it's your car? It's neet-o...granted it doesn't sound like a whip cracking, but it's still cool. I'd still like to see/hear it on a video dedicated to just showcasing it, though...so get to work Braden!

Also, have either you or red tried the intake with the HKS super sequential? Just wondering...wanted to see if there are still issues caused by other b.o.v.'s once the intake is in.

[SpicyMSP]

track day this Sunday.. will post video on Monday

[funnylittlman]

Spicy,

Is that the stock BOV??? sounds good! :D

[SpicyMSP]

Stock BOV with the Intake

[funnylittlman]

Well like I said,

it sounds great! (thumb)

[EVILSRT]

wow, thats sweet!

[turboge]

LoL, you might want to go take a little drive and listen a little harder. That BOV in the beginning is the sound of a WRX with an HKS SSQ, do you hear how high pitched it is? The stock Bypass valve on our car makes a deeper whoosh sound.

Go listen to RX-KEVIN's video and you'll hear the high pitched sound from his SSQ and then come back and tell me that your stock BOV makes the same noise.

I know you always have to be right, so regardless of proof you'll never realize it.

[SpicyMSP]

realize this.regardless of what you might say or think you know. I am the one person who knows my car more then anyone. That camera, with the wind
blowing, and the shit mike rigged up to it. There is no way, it could have picked up anyother cars sounds, especially that far away. And since the intake, my BOV has taken on a higher pitched sound. as Ive said, video exclusive to this isse will be taken this weekend. So please refrain from your guessing game.

[turboge]

LoL... you're on crack go listen to your other video and tell me you hear the same thing... ROFL

[SpicyMSP]

as ive said, scott is going to tape a new one this weekend. no worries

[turboge]

Haha, so I take it you went back and listened to both videos? The only thing you can hear from your car is the high pitched whine of the turbo every so often, aside from the squeeling of tires.

You do know that they don't allow passengers at the event ;)
Can't wait to hear this candid footage you speak so highly of to come!

[SpicyMSP]

im working on a in car camera mount. My windows will be down.

[turboge]

That still won't make your BOV sound like an HKS SSQ...

[servoeyes]

Enough rhetoric from you...just videos! NOW!!!
:D

I don't care who's right or wrong. Whoever posts a proper video will be the winner. Deliverables then post mortum...not reverse. Engineer...must...move...linearly....

In addition...when you can...I don't want to inconvinience you at all.

[SpicyMSP]

no inconvinence at all. this Sunday at the track day

[turboge]

Theres no winner, just wish someone would realize her mistakes before making more...

[SpicyMSP]

ahem SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Leave me alone on the forums.
Actually you know what?!?
I will leave.

Im sorry everyone I cannot emotionally deal with Turboge and his childish remarks, and constant insults.

I am now unsubscribed to this forum, and to this club.

If you are still interested in the injen intake. Please email me at

scomfort@hammerfilmworks.com

thank you.

It was nice meeting everyone.

Braden it is ironic to see that even though I introduced you to this forum in the first place. I am the one leaving

[funnylittlman]

Hey,

Don't leave steph! Just take a lil break and come on back :D

[turboge]

Typical....lol

If you run from everything in life you don't get anywhere.

[SpicyMSP]

im getting away from you, thats all I need

[turboge]

Back?

You know how to , I've told you many times... lol

[tonkabui]

wow... weren't you guys seeing each other for a while? now all this bickering online? what's going on? sheesh...

[servoeyes]

Christ! I go to the crapper and holy hell breaks loose! I don't care what the hell happened between you two...stop acting like a doof. I've done it before and it's a waste of time and energy.

As for the video...Check 23"-25". Spicy pulling out of turn, shifting, BOV noise...the suby is just pulling into the turn. He shifts there the back end should come out. Remember, the subies like to do that. That's just my fairly uninformed opinion though.

Now let's please get back on topic.

[turboge]

Braden it is ironic to see that even though I introduced you to this forum in the first place. I am the one leaving

I never asked you to leave. The ironic part is that you are leaving and doing the same thing you always do when confronted. I've been a part of the Protege community much longer than you have, and I will be around much longer after you're gone.

I'm sure some people will miss you, including myself, but you have a way of changing your mind very quickly so I don't think you'll be gone for long.

[turboge]

Agreed, lol. I know what you mean Servo... sometimes things just go too far..

So anyways, anyone still want this intake?

[REMillers]

Hmm can hear two very distinctive BOV sounds. But truly why does it matter that much?
Strange how it seems a lot of the MSP owners constantly fight about everything and any little detail.

Hope we don't lose any members over this, and hope some members can learn to keep personal attitudes away or at least cool down.

[servoeyes]

Members shmembers---they're still people not primates. Where are you hearing the two sounds, RE? Can you pin point times?

[AGR]

You know what I think? I think the Intake MemphisRacer made will probably perform nearly as well as a $250.00 Injen. He put it togther for a little over $30.00. No idle issues. And; it's away from the fan blowing.


http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3db24b3127cce97c6c653501e0000001610


Does anyone have the new Dyno #s on the Injen, since it had to have the piping adjusted (or whatever they did to eleviate the stalling)?

[servoeyes]

I don't have the dyno for the new injen, but is there a dyno for memphisracer's? There's at least one injen dyno that shows 10hp gain and reportedly better from the new. I guess I'm just naive, but I'll take their word for it.

[REMillers]

Sorry I just use the word member figurative for when referring to people on this forum that I haven't met. Nothing negative meant by it.

The second BOV noise is around 1:18-1:30. When exiting the corner you can slightly hear it. Plus at this point the Blue WRX isn't there.

Not a big deal though, like it is being perceived. Just sensing other tensions that are propelling this way beyond any needed means.

However it is their lives, they decide how and why and we don't have much say.
Just hopes everything gets resolved.

Hey...no problem...I just don't like people fight and be immature in public...just reminds me that underneath it all we're all just beasts. Reminds me of how I was some time ago...one of those moments I don't regret, but am ashamed of.

[turboge]

AGR, the intake on Memphis's car runs behind a heat soaked area. It also retains use of the stock plastic piping to the turbo, which is a bit restrictive.

Switching to the injen brings in less restriction and placement towards a lower and colder location. It's good for a little bit more power and the driveability issues are resolved with the new design. I'll take pics and video tonight of the new setup.

[servoeyes]

Thanks Braden. Hope to see that stuff soon.
:D
Got antsies in me pantsies!

guys really, GROW UP. Steph has made countless contributions to this forum, and all you sit on your sad asses and poke fun at people. Some of you are just so disfunctional I don't know what to say. All I can do is apologize for the stupid people that make stupid comments because it makes them feel better (yes, some people have sad lives like that).

:(

[Eric-BlackMSP]

So....whats the deal with the intake?? Its a CAI right? Whats the price? Whens it done? I want to order!!(AS does everyone) Well let me know.

Oh yeah I'm new to the boards, looks like a hot forum so far!

lol i know its VERY off topic but tell us a story servoeyes. whatever ur referring to about regretting... story time. im interested now. BTW- got the new 18z on my msp, BEAUTIFUL. sumone send me a digicam and i can snap sum shots.

[big_ben]

You people are stupid. I have more intelligence in my left nut than the both of you have together in your heads,.....especially you turbogay,...I mean turboge. I'm sorry, Freudian slip there,...I'll try not to let it happen again. Anyways, back to the point. Do you two realize that you are arguing over a sound. Yeah,.....a sound. You people are so damn pathetic and have such a small life that you have been reduced to arguing over a sound.

Please kill yourselves now so the rest of the world doesn't have to become dumber from listening to the two of you.

Huh? Are you speaking in english? How long did what take? Typing about 4 sentences, or pasting in a jpg? Do you even know what you are talking about? Try thinking through what you are about to type next time before you type it and maybe you won't look so stupid.

[MrRoseBlackMSP]

lol ahhhh i love heated arguements over stupidity

[Dexter]

lol haha good to see you big ben.

[servoeyes]

not trying to sound like mod here, since I'm just a stoo-pid newb, but arguing and bitching about people arguing seems just as redundant/stupid as arguing about a sound. So in the interest of keeping things civil, can we please keep the shizzle on tizzle? Or something...

[mspeedpro]

wtf makes no sense about what i typed?? you got the point im sure. how long did it take you to make the fuckin pic and post it only to bitch about others wasting time.

[spoolboy]

What the hell is going on with this forum lately? People are so damn uptight. Let's not forget that this is a forum for people who love cars and want to learn and share information about the cars we own. People Lighten up! Anyway I'm lookin forward to gettin the Injen Intake, but understand these things take time. besides waiting is half the fun(I'll keep telling myself that).

peace

[Limited Edition]

This Injen Deal thing is out of control....
Spoolboy, i totally agree with you about people being so uptight.
relax guys, it's just an intake.

[Cirielle]

I only have one question and maybe this is the wrong thread to post in about this but -
is SpicyMSP still working on getting a deal with a vendor for a group buy? Is it still going to be a play it against Forcefed thing? Are they still going to compare notes or is it now left just up to ForceFed if Spicy is gone?
I guess I just wanna get things straight - as far as the group buy.

[t3ase]

Spicy has *nothing* to do with this "project" now.

[Dexter]

some of you people act like a fuckin intake is the god damn holy grail. :rolleyes:

[t3ase]

(bowdown) (bowdown) (bowdown) (bowdown) (bowdown)

[unwrittenLaw]

another entertaining thread...lol

[servoeyes]

T3ase...you know that spicy has *nothing* to do with it now? As in you're sure? Just checking...she hasn't gotten back to me about it, so I would assume you're right. That being the case, it's time to get on ForceFed's back to start nagging him! :D

As for Dex...Dude, it's not the holy grail!? hehe...Some of us know that, but it's definately the best aftermarket mod that won't void your warranty and cause emissions issues later.


On a side note...
i think Altezza's should void the factory warranty on all automobiles. The whole thing. Like the dealer disowned your automobile. But that's just me...unless they add HP. :eek:


Ok...can we please stop the bickering now? We've lost sticky status from of all the whining and stupidity...or some other reason, but talking out my arse is more fun.
