First off I would like to thank Hollis and The Team mighty mini crew for allowing this to happen. The HAI wasn't able to be dynoed on the control car for the intake shootout. So it was tested indepently on my all stock 05 mcs ,LSD and 11,700 miles. I also did a hard breakin the www.mototuneusa.com method.
SO to the results
base line run stock intake Max TQ 162 Max HP 158.9
secons run HAI Max TQ 163 Maz HP 170.7

So if my amature eyes are reading this right that is 12 hp?

 

Sweet!!! the best 35 dollars i ever spent!

 

Good show . Interesting how the torque curve is basically flat from 3-4k rpm and then slowly tapers off where other dyno's usually show a distinct peak near 4k. Also, it looks like you gained abut a 1/2 lb of boost near redline with the HAI...maybe from the reduced restriction??? I'm glad it did so well. Can't wait for the "official" results from the other intakes.

 

that is exactly what you should see from an intake improvement; it only starts to benefit when the airflow was getting maxed out. surprisingly high numbers though.

 

Neat! Thanks for doing that test. I agree that the numbers are bigger than expected but the shape of the deltas makes sense. Looks like the HAI made almost 1 psi more than stock and has an A/F about 1/2 point leaner than stock (both still pig-rich).

 

Very nice.....I agree surprisingly high....... but sometimes that is a good thing

 

I put The_R1_Kid's data into a spreadsheet:

HAI-vs-Stock

 

thats awsome thanks andy

One other thing all the cars for some reason were running 5 hp higher or so on their second run. i think this is because no one warmed up their cars. first run cold, second run warmed up and higher hp since the car is warmed up. I let the car warm up for 8-10min before the runs it was at normal operating temp (gauge just a tick below halfway) during each run. I was also running 87 octane gas that day. I didn't know I was going on the dyno that day.

 

Thank you Andy - I was about to do that myself including regenerating the graphs.

May you be touched by His Noodly Appendage.

interesting that both have a steep drop in A/F at 5-6k (more rich going), must be a fuel map sensitive point.

 

I've got the filter & now I have to "tee" the two (auto has 2)lines to a seperate filter. Anyone know the ID of the vacuum lines?

 

Sorry to hijack the thread, but Andy, could you delete some pms so you can receive some more?
Cheers,
H

 

. Those are some pretty solid gains from a silly filter. I'm glad to finally see some data behind my concept. I'm not a huge fan of dyno "numbers" but its interesting to see the "curve" or the trend. A few points I'd like to make on the data.

Peak vs peak comparisons are dumb and this is a good example of why. The HP peaks occur at approximately the same RPM but the torque peak for the HAI is more of a plateau. The peak value is barely higher than stock but at other rpms the difference is 12ft-lbs. Area under the curve comparisons are the true measure of performance gained if you're interested in a number.

Even though the HAI was my baby, I'll admit the numbers seem high to me as well. If I had to guess why, I'd say the dyno exagerates the science behind how the HAI was engineered. Dynos typically recreate a high gear scenario where boost is created easily and the engine is flow happy. You might notice this if you watch your boost gauge during a 1/4 mile pass (hopefully) or an acceleration run of questionable legality down your local highway(hopefully not).

I dont think the results are invalid, I just think the results arent typical of what you'll feel in first or second gear.

 

very nive numbers! i think im might try it on my car...
can you show us a pick of what it look like? on the car?

thanks

Your website is very interesting, as is your signature. Do you also believe in the three basic food groups ... kegs, bottles and cans?
