We're about 6 weeks away from being able to start taking orders and shipping for the EMSPowered 100-series Performance Intake systems.

About how much will the shipping be to 34953?
 
That's it? For the Headers?

Yes, it should be right around that for shipping the 100-series Performance Intake to your zipcode. For the 100-series Performance Headers shipping to your location is approximately $45.

Jeezus, how'd I wander over here?

:doh:
 
I recall another member DIYing an intake that looked great but the response of the MAF was rough and jagged due to intake pulses that were not accounted for. (IIRC the stock MAF tube was used but a fabricated tube connected it to the TB, deleting the tuning chambers.) The stock system has the tuning chambers which either quiet the intake or smooth out the MAF response depending on who you ask.

That member gave up and dumped the project as I recall.

Any comment on how a straight pipe vs. a chamber tuned pipe works?
I'm not trying to bag on anybody just looking for a better understanding.

We will be posting dyno test results with the stock intake and with the EMSPowered intake system back to back so that everyone can make an informed decision
 
:popcorn: Snorkel compatible option?

Addressed earlier, he said that if we can get at least 10 guys together who want a snorkel compatible option then they'll make it.
 
Please also post a/f ratios from the wideband so that the naysayers will back off.


best thing might be an OBDII MAF trace before and after under the "same" conditions like a Dyno run, maybe on an Eddy Current dyno.

This is not going to be snorkel compatible. But if there's at least 10 people ready to go on a snorkel compatible performance intake system we can build it. It would need to have a sealed chamber around the filter and then an inlet that goes to the snorkel.

We can do that, we usually log AFR's when dyno testing.

We'll have plenty of data for you guys to look at and compare. We do lots of testing on our products before releasing them for sale to the public.

Don't shame us for asking about problems others have encountered with similar setups.

baktasht seems happy to honestly answer any and all tech questions. I commend EMS for their open honest answers and not taking offence. We are a picky bunch, if you want to play you have to face that.

We enjoy a picky community. It makes for better products and makes vendors work harder to come up with more thought out solutions.

I used to own twin supercharged bonnevilles and when we put ceramic coated perf intakes on them we would remove the MAF screen (had honeycomb shaped holes) and the MAF would react to the turbulent air flow over the sensor. Our fix was to use certain intake tubing that maintained a laminar air flow over the MAF sensor which eliminated the turbulent air flow issue. Not sure how much a MAF screen reduces intake volume but with our boosted cars, it seemed every little thing helped. Not sure how much of this theory applies to the LC but I would think a well designed intake that maintained the same laminar air flow would not trip up the MAF sensor???

I know that the toyota MAF sensors are very sensitive to intake design.
Difference being between a certain aftermarket intake pipe (constant 3" diameter right through) versus the TRD/AFE designed intake which is higher flowing than stock, but has a distinct tapered design.
I do not envy anyone taking on the job, but I'd be interested to see the results.
 
Jap8, would that be the injen tuned system you are are referring to? Or something else.

I've got my eye on buying that one, even if it is for the Tundra 4.7L but it's the same V8 as mine.
