SRI vs CAI on the DYNO!

[Wurf]

RX8 wheels are cheap, wider, and a little lighter than stock MS3. A decent summer wheel to use if you put snows on the stockers and live where I do.

Back to back wouldn't work. Not enough time for the ECU to learn the new intake and give a proper dyno, nor would it be fair as, all day the temps would change, the engine would have to be cooled down.

It would be easier just to dyno each car with each single intake.

Didn't consider the ECU learning - good point. If you run them on different motors, you're not taking into account any differences between the engines off the assembly line etc. It's not a scientific control.

Maybe another idea would be to use a standalone ECU and see what you can make max with each setup and tune.

Once the car is moving the ambient air temps where the SRI is located drop significantly (No more hot engine bay) neglecting any advantage that a CAI might have in regards to the MS3. Been there done it, I know. Have fun changing / cleaning your filter for your CAI, this argument isn’t going anywhere.

FYI, unlike a CAI, the under the hood air entering a SRI has to past through the radiator and AC condenser which raises its temperature substantially. So your argument isn't going anywhere...
