hmm shipping the me might be easier... May I ask where you got it?

From what I read this is install on the chassis/frame. The question I have is how strong it is. More worried for winter or is it a simple removal in fall and reinstall in Spring?

It mounts to the lower bumper (not the chassis/frame) similar approach to most others and appears to be as strong and durable as any others currently available...Install and removal is fairly easy...And yeah probably not a good idea to have any splitter installed for those living in the snow belts...

And I make no pretense with reason for installing this splitter...It's purely for appearance...

Ya its for looks as well. The front just needs a little something especially the profile view.

I agree...I think the splitter helps "ground" the front appearance

Old intake v.s the Cobb

I know it has been awhile and I apologize if it's already been discussed, but I'd like some feedback on your intake swap. Like you, I went with a different intake (Cobb wasn't available back then) and I purchased an FSWERKs. I also have the full Cobb stage 3 set-up. I am wondering what difference the Cobb made in feel (subjective) and power (dyno) as well as IATs. The only thing that kinda turns me off is the surface area of the filter seems alot smaller than the FSWERKs and the stock airbox has a few drawbacks as far as getting air into it. I do like how the filter is isolated so I am thinking of trying the Cobb but modifying the airbox so it lets more cool air in. Anything you can share would be much appreciated.

I replaced my Cobb CAI awhile ago with CP-E's CAI....

There's a number of aspects of CP-E?s CAI which differs from that of both the OEM and COBB intake systems that I do appreciate:

1) Larger enclosed airbox design with a secondary 3? diameter lower snorkel inlet air tube

2) Larger 4? ID wide mouth conical filter design (outer filter dimensions are approx. 6? dia x 6? L)

3) CP-E?s Conical Filter incorporates the use of a CNC velocity stack bellmouth insert which smoothly compresses the air by gently reducing the filter ID from 4? to 3? to match the 3? diameter intake tubing

4) In reviewing past tuning logs it appears both airflow mass increased by ~ 1lb/min and boost by ~0.5psi...

5) There have been two dyno test of CP-E's CAI by both CP-E and ISO100 which both showed fairly significant gains

- CP_E CAI dyno results:

Also adding an additional ram intake extension tube was shown to have improved IAT's at both idle and during cruising conditions...

JBR OCC / Boomba CV / CFM Breather Cap Installed

This OCC setup (below) pretty much checks "all" the boxes I was looking for...I'm very pleased with the new JBR OCC kit....

- OCC with baffled internals
- 5/8" inlet and outlet ports
- Minimal hose routing lengths
- Easy draining capability
- Relatively stable & open mounting location
- Quick OE Hose Connects
- Check Valve
- Greater than 120ml (4.0 oz) holding capacity (drain every ~5k miles)

Just a few thoughts and comments regarding the reasons as to why its a good idea to install a check valve between the Intake Manifold (IM) and OCC...

1) To mitigate any possibility of having the OCC pressurized during high boost conditions (particularly important when the can begins to fillup with blow-by oil residue and sludge)...Installing a check valve will prevent oil that has accumulated in the OCC from "percolating" and splashing up within the can occurring during high turbulent / initial quick boost spooling conditions which can create quite a mess internally by stirring up the heavier "sludge" that has already collected on the bottom of the can...This is done as a "preventive measure" to prevent having any sludge residue that the OCC has collected getting all over and clogging / gunking up the internal filters and/or mesh baffles and then having it pushed back towards the PCV...

2) Installing a check valve between OCC outlet port and IM (located closer to intake manifold port) essentially will block or cap off the IM port during boost conditions...There is no advantage in having high boost pressure directed towards and filling up an empty canister or chamber (OCC) from the IM during boost spool-up and also no need to pressurize more volume than is needed outside the intake manifold.

3) OE PCV 's are fairly notorious for not being able to completely close to prevent boost from entering the crankcase, even when brand new. Add a few thousand miles worth of crud flowing back and forth through and the worse it gets. And the more boost you run, the greater the problem can become...

Now I'm not saying its absolutely required but it is a very good "preventative measure" to have a CV installed...

Looks really good.

How is the routing on the drain tube? Is it isolated from exhaust and other hot bits?

The drain tube clears everything hot and runs parallel to the strut tower

Great build with tons of excellent information. Will definitely be adding a few of your ideas and DIYs to my FiST. I also love your splitter and must look into that!

 

[jeff]

Great thread with great ideas. I like your conservative approach, gives me some great ideas for a sensible build.

THANKS!!

Tom -

A question regarding your post #212. I don't see much about this mod on your thread - I'm assuming you used a black elbow from Home Depot and custom fit it, attaching with the brackets?

I appreciate the insight...got my ST a couple of weeks ago and I'm planning out my intake setup, your thread has been most helpful.

That's correct...The 3" diameter 45 degree elbow and brackets were purchased at Home Depot

I like that snorkel! Great idea, Boostbumps. I need to build me one of them.

me 2!
