Air intake question

[MaxOvrDrv]

Hi guys have question about air intake. I am bout to order a new air intake am undecided on which to buy but dont know if I can mention Name brands or not here. Have two in mind one is from a Tool source in Columbus the other is a Very well known name brand featured in many magazines just trying to figure out which one will give most air flow improvement. If any of you guys/girls have any feed back on this subject as to what has worked for you i would appreciate it thx.

96 black Spyder GST pretty much stock bout to drop around a grand into bolt ons

P.S. can I mention name brands??

Name Brands are fine

You want a K&N style one that is circular, not oval.....you want it to be small enough that it gives you more room. I've seen some quite large oval-shaped ones. I got mine from www.extrememotorsports.com. It is the DIS filter. There are lots of knockoffs of these filters that are probably much cheaper and look exactly the same.

Thx for the headsup ok the two intakes are a 3" Dejon tools and an InJen IS series intake. the dejon intake doesnt come with a filter and cost 143.00 the injen comes with everything including the filter reg price is over 200.00 but nopi is selling it right now for 68.00 have seen same part # on at least 4 different web sites for as low as 186.00 and as high as 234.00 The dejon tools claims to increase air flow 170 % over stock intake pipe no air flow claims on the injen. Does anyone know any specifics on the injen model??? Dont mind spending the money for the dejon if its more efficient than the injen but if they are the same i can find alot of other things to spend the 70.00 difference.

Dejon intake piping is great. In fact, just about everything Dave makes is well worth it. Grab his pipe and get the plain old K&N open element filter with adapter for $75.

Thx for the advice Jamie have heard lots of great things about Dejon tools. Thats what I've said that I was going to order from the very start. but then name brand cheap price slipped in under the wire. :) well Thx again. As always you guys are so quick to help out thats why I keep coming back.

If you go dejon, make sure you get the pipe that fits your turbo.. You mention pretty stock, the 3" intake would be a bit large for the intake on your turbo. :)

[MaxOvrDrv]

According to dejon tools the 3" will fit stock t-25. Is a little larger than needed for the small t-25 but prevents havindg to upgrade intake twice. Planning on upgrading turbo in near future. Thinking about a big t-28 or a 20g. will discuss both of those at later time. Both of which will fit new 3" intake application. Thanks for your input.

P.S. I'm just going on what is said on dejon intake specs page for 3" intake. If any one else has tried this and knows it will or wont work please let me know.

[MaxOvrDrv]

this pic is of the 2 3/4 intake but according to them 3" has same fittment

[biglipps66]

I wouldnt even suggest such a thing. Youde have to put so many couplers on it to shrink it down to a t25 inlet, that your risk of intaking unmetered air is increased.

IMO, I would stick with the perfect size that fits the turbo you have. I wouldnt ghetto rig an intake pipe just so you didnt have to buy another down the road. You can always sell what you bought and get another.

dejontool is nice, ihave uic pipe from dave and i like it alot and it fit perfectly

[EvolvedDSM]

You could do the 3" and just use a reducing coupler at the turbo. Not ideal, but would save money in the long run.

Thanks guys ordered the dejon tools intake went with the 2 3/4 instead of the 3" . Going with the DIS filter from extreme thnx again guys you are always a big help Can you give me some info on any summertime events coming up. I would like to make a road trip to columbus and meet you guys in person. June-August is my slow time at work Play golf and drive pretty much during those three months. Thanks again for all the input.

There is nothing definite planned yet

Typically, on weekends, the lot of us meet up at a large parking lot with other enthusiasts.

We may very well have a track day in the early warm months but that is all to be determined.

[MaxOvrDrv]

Thanks Ken I will keep ka watch on the board to see when stuff comes up.

Hey jamie thx I will start trying to plan around Aug. found a southeastern DSM web site.

If you guys would like to check it out it is http://www.dsm-horsepower.com The guys seem really young and somewhat inexperienced but they are at least trying.
