aFe Takeda vs. Injen SP dyno comparison

[Stiletto]

Did a dyno comparison of the aFe Power Takeda Momentum intakes to the Injen SP Short Ram intakes. SAE correction was used on the DynoJet 424XLC2. Runs on JB4 Map 7 and 0 were done, all in 3rd gear.

Short and sweet: aFe intakes make more torque and a tiny bit more horsepower. They are a little more of a task to install than the Injen, and (IMO) don't look as unique or appealing. The power increase is probably due to the direct feed of air from the ducts and the pressure of the chamber. You'll note the steep torque takeoff of compared to the delayed upward trend of the Injen, which has to draw mixed air from surrounding area to feed the ram tube.

My mods (that relate to making power):
VelossaTech Big Mouth ram ducts
Infinity Motorsports Racing FMIC (complete kit)
Custom water-methanol injection system (BMS 2.5 gal reservoir, SS teflon lines, Devil's Own solenoid, BMS #10 nozzle)
Ark secondary downpipes (Swaintech coated)
Art of Flow titanium cat back exhaust
Shark Racing lightweight pulley
1" phenolic intake manifold spacer
Go Fast Bits Mach 2 BPVs

Cool and thanks for sharing with the community. This doesnt shock me, except for the fact that I wouldve thought the injen would make more top end HP. Usually the closed design intakes preserve more low-end TQ which looks like the case here, wouldve been cool to see what the stock intake did in the same comparison.

Why in 3rd gear for the test and not 5th?

The speed of fifth could exceed the rollers limits. Third is easier to manage, as the kickdown in fourth seems to give the dyno operator a harder time to get consistent results.

great results

This is pretty cool and thanks for sharing. These runs were done on the same day/time, correct?

Same day. If I did them at the same time, it would require multiple fractures of the timeline, thus shattering the time-space continuum.

Seriously though, yes, they were within the same morning.

I mean it's 2023, we should definitely have time machines by now. You guys are slacking

Which was dyno'd first? Were the iat's roughly the same at the beginning of each run?

Injen was first as they've been installed for over a year. We weren't focused on IATs, but if memory serves, they were the same.

I have the logs, but haven't sifted through them all to look at the data.

Thank you for sharing

Okay, finally got around to looking through ALL the logs. Yes, IATs were 84-86 and jumped to 96. There was a 104° run, but the plots I've shown don't have that run.
