Advan AFE filter test

[skycat]

Hi all
We did some Dyno work today with our 335 shop car, i have fitted up the AFE air intake system as i have found this system to make the most power of any we have tested.
In run 021 we had the factory air box fitted with a BC drop in filter total power was 248kw
In run 077 we have used the AFE 51-11473 STAGE 2 PRO DRY system total power
is 258kw but makes an extra 4 or 5 kw through the power run

All testing is with COBB

Hi pav
The wiring is just Dyno sensor stuff etc, no Meth yet but sooooooon

This filter setup looks like it will suck in more hot air than standard - mainly when the bonnet's shut. Have you dynoed both with the bonnet closed? I'd expect the numbers to be lower for the AFE but similar for OEM then. Tell me to pull my head in if my logic's wrong, I ain't no mechanic.

Tim I think thats why he is looking at making a cover

Ah! Of course, once you put a cover on you restrict airflow...
I'm sure their final result will be better engineered than the picture in my head.

pete looks like you have cobb'd those afr's into 1m afr's

Hi there Tim
All the dyno testing work is done with the bonnet down, the cover that we are making is to make this set up more copper friendly and use another cold air inlet system through the inner guard as well as the factory inlet

Cobb the only other mod?

Just by looking at this, there is no reason why a simple dual cone wouldn't be that much different to this? Obviously when the cover and inlet get sorted it will be much better.

AFE also make a closed intake for N54 (single cone). Old debate of air volume vs temps

Yep 100%
If you run this system its good to run meth

Doesn't air temp just go through the roof as it flows through the turbos anyhow? ... hence upgraded FMIC?

Just run Pre & Post Meth and Bob's your uncle.

tbh im still favouring the mr5 bunnings model, just need to find a stock airbox

Mods
1- COBB
2- AFE inlet system
3- ER charge pipe

Thats it. Exhaust, front mount etc are all stock

Yep you could run any cone filters or pods etc that is fine. But i like the AFE system it is nicely made and for a change some thought has gone into it, hey and it works

is there any reason why you couldn't/wouldn't tap a nozzle to the stock airbox? dont laugh this is a serious Q.

Hey Pav
You can have my old air box for a grand

[Ian///M]

AFE looks the goods!

Is there increased induction noise now Peter?

Mate you cant water the garden that way, just use the hose tap on the side of the house.
You could put a nozzzzzzzzle in the cabin filter housing that will give you a hell of a lift in performance

a grand

Tell you what i'll take it off your hands so you wont have to pay the boys to clean it up

Hey I got an idea, you could run a promo whereby if a customer gets their wife's car serviced, they get to pick through the debris that was once attached to your car, now that sounds like a plan
