JT 3.3TT CAI Group Buy

@Volvowith18psi you are correct the factory air duct is required in order to hold the new duct that will direct air into the intakes. Also I advise against removing the factory duct as it helps direct air flow from the front to the correct places (radiator, ac condenser, etc)

What differences have you found with the intercooler?

Steve, the kit includes a full color installation guide for the CAI kit.

Rob, Ill shoot you a PM later to not clutter up the GB.

Thanks for the reply, and yes, I understand that - I think Jon has made it pretty clear from the beginning that this comes with a step-by-step guide.

I have no concern with removing the bumper - that looks to be relatively straightforward, and actually less complicated than most. My concern is with how much cutting of the OEM structure is required for Jon's inlet ducts, as without seeing the installation guide I cannot tell. My preference is always to leave the factory structures intact so modifications can be reverted, especially on a brand new vehicle.

I understand that moving cold air into the filters is a fundamental part of the product design here. As I've mentioned before, I like the how the product looks and the apparent quality of the Jon's work. However, especially when considering the relatively high landed cost, I need to decide if I want to:

1) Install the product as designed, including cutting the OEM structure to accommodate the supplied inlet ducts.
2) Install the product without the supplied inlet ducts, retaining the factory structure and the limited air movement from the front - presumably taking a hit on performance.
3) Consider another CAI/WAI solution, either on the market or currently under development.

To make that call, I need a better understanding of just how much surgery is required - it's really that simple.

Fortunately the air duct where the JT CAI ducts attach to, is a piece that can be replaced easily replaced in the event of reversing everything to stock.

Here is a look at the factory setup. Pay close attention at where the factory intake gets the air from. Very restricted!

Hope those help get a better idea of how the complete setup is installed.
No critical OEM structure is compromised here, just a factory plastic air duct that can be easily replaced, should you want to revert back to stock.

Many thanks - that's what I needed to see!

 

[Jonathan Lasich]

Interested as well depending on group buy price. I'm Canadian but have a U.S. shipping address if that will save some shipping costs.

Gents, how much airflow into the engine compartment is too much? Isn't it supposed to flow in and out at all opportunities in order to keep air resistance at minimum? Do the intakes REALLY require all that modification or are the mods actually creating a small problem? I don't want some kind of parachute effect going on. Has anyone seen the rear bumpers on some model Civics with big holes drilled in them just to avoid such an issues?

I'm no expert. And I'm just playing devil's advocate. But it crossed my mind so thought I'd mention it.

This alone made a huge difference to throttle response and outright power with 11 rwkw or 15hp increase.

Its on his website where i got this.

 

[Got_Stinger]

On a completely separate and unrelated note, who wants to buy my torq intakes for $150?

Pics of torq intakes? Pm me if possible..interested.

 

[bumble bee]

Got_Stinger- go to first page my friend.

 

[Got_Stinger]

I was asking for pics of what he was selling, seen the jt stuff...awesome

 

[DiabloStinger]

@Got_Stinger i sent you a Pm.

To go back a few posts... parachute effect? I have to say I’ve never heard of this but it is intriguing.

 

[mitchyboy]

The photo of the white Stinger with kit #2 (polished pipes and black boxes) is my car. The intake is awesome - car definitely feels more responsive and powerful. And the added bonus is that it now sounds much better also! The product and service are both top quality - I highly recommend this to anyone considering it.

 

[robz32]

Wonder when @Jonnytig is going to make the announcement.

Ok guys so we will formally like to set pre orders for our Stinger true CAI kits for you lads over in US and Canada. As you know freight is killa but if we can get numbers up we should be able to get costs down. The more kits you can order the better the pricing i can do.

Easiest way to do this is list kits in order of specs and pricing. Prices are in aud. Freight on the one kit is $200aud so the more we can get the better my leverage with freight providers.

The kit comprise of our 3" alloy hard pipes, laser cut and folded air boxes with JT lids, silicone joiners, genuine K&N filters, clamps, fasteners, our unique CAI intake ducts and full step by step instructions with colour photos to guide you through installation.

Kit 1: polished intake pipes with raw/semi satin finished boxes and ductwork $800aud

Kit 2: polished intake pipes with powder coated satin black boxes and ductwork
$830

Kit 3: Satin black powder coated intake pipes, boxes and ductwork $860

If you want to set a pre order we can either leave your email address or if someone over there wants to manage the orders and let me know quanties and what kits, then this would help enormously. Of course we will look after the manager of group buy

Let me know your thoughts and interest. I cant confirm exact discounts until we have some numbers to go from.

Heres some pics of the kits on order as listed above...

See how we go

This is why underpanels and diffusers have become so popular - especially in the rear - of folks that drag race their cars often.

 

[Jonnytig]
