IMR CAI

[WilliamFR]

Has anyone had any experience, seen, or heard of anyone having the IMR intake system? They seem massive. I would post the link but uh..i'm "new" so it won't let me. It's on the imramerica website under stinger > intake. Oddly enough, i cannot find a single video or discussion about this anywhere. I even reached out to their FB page and he said they don't have any videos to release on it, but that people are buying it. I don't know if i can really just off of no feedback.

Evan doesn't like to advertise them currently because they are very backordered. The filters really are massive but he doesn't want to advertise it till they can meet demand.

totally get that, but if they are good i'd like to get on the list..just have no way to verify. i'd imagine with bigger filters it would be louder, but i'm not really sure of what makes an intake "loud".

a larger surface area allows more air to be sucked in than a standard size filter, allowing theoretically better IAT's, creating a more dense A/F ratio, allowing for more power to be made. Some of them are just starting to reach customers hands. @EVANS at IMRAMERICA.COM correct me if I am wrong here.

considering they are larger than the injen..is it safe to assume we'd be looking at better performance? or are there more factors at play here..such as piping size?

More factors at play, as every intake on the market right now is technically a hot air intake because they all live in the engine bay, sucking in the hot air, however the larger the filter and piping, the more air can be thrown at the turbo, so more power.

You are correct, we've been slowly getting these out to customers. It's been a rocky road, but we're trying to catch up as much as we can. We appreciate your support!

if i were to put in an order right now, whats turnaround looking like as it stands with what you have in queue? would be raw aluminium

We're looking to get out all of the backorders by the end of August/early September. Realistically I'd say the end of September if you were to place an order now. It's not guaranteed but that's what I can gather by the amount of time it takes to fabricate.

Our plan once the backorder is finished is to knock out as many sets as possible to stock up and be ready to ship immediately (or 2 weeks from the order date if powdercoating was chosen.)

Hopefully you can bear with us, we're doing our best to get these out to everyone!
You can contact me directly at sales@imramerica.com if you have any other questions/concerns.

You're still limited by the size of the turbo inlet. You could remove the intake pipes and all you'd be able to ingest is what the opening will allow (not to mention the throttle body and intake plenum are also bottlenecks).

Is this pretty much the only option for throttle body? I don’t see many engine parts available for the stinger. Is that really getting to the point where we have to get things custom made?

Oh that is pretty.

That larger throttle body is useless without changing out the intake plenum. Might as well get a custom one made that doesn't have a 90 degree sharp bend.

Well this may be a stupid question but I’m having trouble googling intake plenum. Is that another word for intake manifold? Or is that something else entirely. I always excelled with picture books more

The plenum would be the intake runners in the manifold. Assuming the runners are sized appropriately for the throttle body, Gen Vodka would be correct. If the plenum can handle a bigger air charge, then it could be advantageous. The fluid dynamics on these cars are so complex, sometimes you just gotta give something a shot and see what happens, or wait for someone else to do it.

 

[General_Vodka]

Kia most likely sized everything for stock power. Smaller = faster flow = more efficiency. Then again i have no idea why there is such a sharp bend in the intake manifold, it can't be good for flow.

those guys have the right idea, no sharp right turn in and also its bigger.
