Wow! 40hp from intake thats nice What keeps the filter protected from water coming in the hood vent?

 

That's really impressive from just an intake and filter. I would've thought that the factory ductwork directly to the outside would produce more power than an open-element under the hood (heat.)

Does your system eliminate the performance pages gauge for intake air temperature?

If the gauge still functions, do you have data to give us a "before" and "after" delta, under similar conditions?

Also, is it possible to post a video clip of the intake sound at WOT, from inside the car?

Thanks!

 

Hi the performance pages work normally nothing was eliminated, unfortunately I don’t have any before or after yet as this is still a prototype and we’re still testing it, the intake is huge at 140mm it’s a beast compared to the stock intake as for the water going into the intake I don’t think that’s going to be a problem I’ve had similar setups on different cars without any problems, and the owner of DDR has a GCSRT8 that utilizes a similar setup on his car and he took it over to Switzerland for a year with no problems at all you can always have a sock over the filter element if you want the extra protection. I’ll ask him if he will consider doing one with a closed box and see what he says.

I’ll post a video at WOT tomorrow as it’s 12 am here but I’ll post today’s dyno run as soon as I figure out how to add YouTube videos

 

yea , what he asked

 

Black Track, that was my initial question as well. But if you look close, it would appear that they have definitely made a shield around the unit. My only fear looking at it the way it appears that it would sit directly under the hood vent and be subject to direct water intake. I have seen a few youtube videos pertaining to similar intakes where they actually have a piece of plastic that goes on the inside of the vent to prevent water intrusion.

 

hope I did it right

 

Thanks for the info, Biggie27. We are looking forward to all the results!

 

Thanks for that piece of info, Kodiakz.

 

does anyone know how to post a video on here ?

 

Well shoot! Lets get a group buy on these bad boys! How long before they have them in production? rough guess on final cost?

 

Hello Saud. Nice work on the intake. How long and how much

 

8sec: Thanks for the clarification. I have not looked at the routing/connections of what I thought was fully ducted.
WTF didn't Jeep do it the right way?

BTW: On an 80 degree ambient day, on the freeway, I'm consistently seeing air inlet temps of 68-70 degrees. Howzat happen? Is the gauge FUBAR?

(OK, enough abbreviations! Ha.)

 

My bad...I was referring to intercooler temp, not inlet temp. I get it. Never mind.

 

Yeah my buddy driving mine on the dyno did the same thing. Lol. I was like there's no way in **** the intake temp is that low. He was like I'm looking right at it. Lol. He's an LS guy..... nuff said.

 

Really? Can't say h e double hockey sticks in here? Weak sauce.....

 

8sec: Agreed.
So on this site, what happens if we try to write **** Cat as two words. (I know that's grammatically incorrect, but just testing to see what gets our wrist slapped.)

 

OK, there's my answer. That's lame. It's the name of the freaking car.

The nanny state continues.

 

Hilarious. We are all members of a forum because of an insane engine that we can’t even type the name of. We can discuss it all day long, but we just can’t mention its name.

 

Hellcat and **** Cat

 

SaudZ: How long does it take to install the DDR system? Start to finish...including removing the stock unit, etc.
Thanks!

 

honestly with the right tools it took like 5 minutes, granted saud is the one who installed it at his factory lool but its pretty much take off the stock unit I think there are 3 screws i cant remember and install this in its place it uses the same screws

 

Thanks, Biggie27!
I live in CA and would need to be able to remove it and reinstall the factory setup in order to pass our DMV emissions systems visual check.
I can easily do an R&R...but just wanted to ask if there were any hidden thingies that are hard to get to.

 

What Black Track said?

 

Any more photos? would like to see how much room is around the filter. Maybe a photo from right over top.
Thanks

 

This unit looks really nice. Did not see any reference to the cost of something like this. Any information on purchase and cost? Thanks.

 

DRR unit is very nice! Easy to install, and NOW you can hear the whine loud n clear! Customer service followed up great and unit shipped to me in 2 days. Could not ask for better

 

Any more photos? Maybe looking straight down on it?
