I just got the results on my car with the PRM kit on it. Everything went very well. I've attatched the data for your viewing pleasure.

 

pics?

 

What does a PRM kit do?

 

I think it's an intake IIRC

For those of us not in the loop what is a PRM kit?

I do not have ESP. What do you drive? Mods?

whats the point of the PRM kit . .it's still in the engine bay sucking up heated air. Cold air Intakes to me. .are much more worth it! EX. Injen!
Can't really go wrong with CAI unless your one of them people who decide to go for a drive in a hurricane storm,and loves to RWD it through huge puddles!!!!
need i say more. . .

 

OEM is a cold air intake....

 

OP,

Could we get some details on your z..
Year and mods?

Also was this dyno completed in schomberg?

Cheers,

 

ehhh. .it still sucks up some heat coming out from the radiator. .i just like it to suck from the mouth in the front. .behind the grill. .is all i was saying.

 

that dyno chart looks odd... where's the rmp? I've never seen one with so little info... what type of dyno is it? what shop?

The other thread regarding this product gave plenty of opportunity for the OP to provide viable info to determine it's worth... however I haven't seen anything remotely close to convincing me it's worth considering... The question about cleaning wasn't even answered... and IMO the question about performance is still unanswered.

 

Have you tracked your car before and after a CAI? I believe Berto and a few others said they gained trap and ET after running SRI vs. CAI.

 

AEM, Injen, Nismo...all brilliant CAI's which have shown to LOSE power on certain cars in certain conditions...and I've never seen an accurate before/after showing anything over 5 horsepower for any CAI...a 90 dollar used popcharger can give you 5 horsepower mate...so in fact, you can go wrong wasting your money on cold air intakes :]

interesting dyno's OP, waiting for the dyno experts to come verify that nothing is funky. youre just a little too new for me to trust you. also what year is your Z? and how many miles were on the filter in the stock unit? was it a stock filter? why does the after dyno continue on for another 500 RPM? A/F ratios? gotta give more info/details for us to believe this dyno comparison is legit. for all we know you could be an PRM employee.

 

spam ! ( )

 

hmm. .i would assume that common knowledge says that colder air flowing into the engine is better then hot air. performance wise. .short ram or longer tubing plays no role because i'd suspect that the air still is flowing at the nominal rate no matter. .cold air is less expanded being able to fit more into the manifold at once then hotter air .. could be just my preference. .haven't see one yet. .what someone should make is a RAM air kit for the Z. .

 

well, when you're driving down the road, air is blowing through the engine bay. it may be a few degrees hotter then ambient temps but not that much. also, on they dyno the hood is popped and their's fans in front of the car blowing cold air in the engine bay.

 

i just like more direct air. .nothing obstructing it. .

 

SRI such as the Stillen and K&N Typhoon (which also has an extension to pull air from the grill) have very good heatshields. Aside from different temperature, its harder to suck through a longer straw with bends than a shorter, straight straw.

 

and the fact that the heat shield itself gets a tad hot pays you no never mind? hey im not knocking them down. .i just prefer CAI
