Members running intakes please check in

Anyone running the Tork intakes? The numbers they claim seem insane for what is basically just a airbox replacement with a small elbow. I like that it's a simple setup to add or remove but I don't like the lack of a heat shield.

What are their claimed numbers?

from the site "When tested with our muffler delete we picked up 16whp peak and over 40whp at 6000rpm!!!"

given this is with a muffler delete. my bet is 10 HP or so. I've run them.

Any feedback on them? How did you find they performed?

 

[DiabloStinger]

They were great.... i'll probably put them back on because they paired very well with the JB4.

The HP gain seems pretty typical, most intakes around 15 hp peak and 35-40 peak near redline. Only out lier is K&N but as I said earlier they didn't let their ecu adapt. I know tork did 5 dyno pulls before the HP jumped when adding the intake.

How big of an issue does it cause not running a heat shield?

Would someone agree with me that the stock intake boxes are best for real world driving/road racing. I would think the cold outside temps coming in would be better then the hot air from under the hood. Most aftermarket intakes are tested on a dyno with the hood open, which means fresh cool air. I would like to see comparison test (airbox vs aftermarket intake) for intake temps during road racing.

Welcome back!

Did you keep the Stinger?

I did! I drove around with it for a bit, the stinger never stops growing on you for some reason

 

[TwinSnails]

Some of the intakes keep snorkeling... but the area of a cone filter is almost 3xs the area of the factory element...

I guess to measure that someone would need to see if the stock filters hold enough flow, right?

I was under the impression that the smaller turbos on the stinger do not need huge filters. For this case, I'm assuming intakes temps are more of a propriety over mass flow. I could be wrong.

Jonny Tig dynoed with the hood closed. But true, most dyno hood open.

No. We could easily test this in real world scenarios using JB4 logging / IATs vs ambient temperatures.

I wish i had my JB4 still, Someone log with the jb4 and torque app

That would be good independent info.

Stock intakes on a 75 degree day I show IATs of 96 degrees at 3k RPM, 91 degrees at 6.4k RPM. This is on a 3rd gear pull. I don't have any comparable data for Tork intakes on a 75 degree day.

There wouldn’t really be a need to test this combo. Since K&N doesn’t claim any gains with their drop-in filters and the OEM intake box is very restrictive, there wouldn’t be a measurable change either way

But we don't know yet. It's not been tried and documented is my point.

Heck, looking at the stock airbox it looks like adding an additional hole would help. The only place it’s pulling air is from the snorkeling.

Pair that with the small volume available in the air box and it would seem logical to open a section on the bottom to have more available on demand.

Removing the stock snorkle and making a hole in the radiator shroud will give you some good cold air flow.

If I’m removing the front bumper, I need an FMIC on hand and the big mouth snorkels
