V2 Emergency!! Just In!!!!!

[JONB7777]

what kinda intake u got now shuwa?? i know its a cai .. and what what is it u have above ur intake at the filter.. looks like gauges.. fill me in..

 

[shuwa29]

aem cai, air horns, and it doesn't change you damn gear ratio. you have to change your drive and driven gear to do that. i'm not going to keep on saying this if you are not going to listen.

####in A.......dude doesn't listen , does he?

I agree with shuwa29, A CAI will not change your gear ratios, you will get there faster, but isnt going to change them. Shuwa29, that hood is sweet as hell man, I give you props on that man, it looks bad ass.

[shuwa29]

thanks alot, and thanks for the support. i'm not trying to flame, roast, or whatever like that. just trying to help him out. kinda of like saying "naws", when you do that people tend to think less of you.

shuwa29 I live in Ga, I am in duluth off sugar loaf and old peachtree, if you know where that is. Every Saturday alot of people get together at a Target parking lot at medlock bridge and we all shoot the shit and just hang out. (it is Importsouth.com) Once again I dont know how far away you are, but it you want just message me or something and I will give you directions. later

[shuwa29]

yeah i'm on importsouth. i remember when it was still import atlanta. i'm in the kennesaw area but i'm sure i could swing out there sometime. either email me or instant message me.

If by gear ratios you mean time inbetween shifing, get a new exhaust. I have noticed significant boosts, and my transmission is stronger, gives me more time to shift since 1st is more powerful ect. If it's not what you meant, disregard it

 

[shuwa29]

time between shifts can be reduced even more by getting a shift kit for under $20. i am talking about what jonb7777 said. he mentioned how the rpm's were lower than before. this is not possible unless he changed his drive and driven gears or if he turned on his O/D. then yes, the speed to rpm range would be different.

my od is always on shuwa..... and dont get mad.. simply get the intake and prove me wrong.. u dont have it so u dont know.. ok i wont say it changes the gear ratio.. but its doing my rpms good..

 

[shuwa29]

speed to rpm is based on gear ratio's. understand this. i'm trying to help you out. and by the way, run with o/d off when you going under 45. it's been known to cause tranny problems when engaged at lower speeds. it tends to put to much stress on the tranny. just some words of advise. plus i'm not going to pay another $250 + for an intake that will give me a hp. not worth it. just another marketing idea. and apparently, it's working.

thanks for the help, and i know u prob know your shvt.. but on the od, do u have od?? or an auto?? if i take off od the car runs funny.. its like im putting stress on the tranny if i dont have it engaged.. i barely go under 45 anyways.. im in germany remember.. no speed limit..........

im not sayin buy a new cai.. im just saying if u could test the v2 out.. u should.. cause u could be wrong.. especially on the one hp thing..

 

[shuwa29]

if i get the chance to run the v2 i will, but i'm not going to buy one.

[shuwa29]

by the way, what base are you at in germany? i might get stationed there for the air force. but i still have to do all my training and then get assigned a location.
later

 

[JONB7777]

im in the 11avn regt.. its near wurberg in germany.. let me know when u get orders.. it may say ur first assignment although it didnt on mine.. they usually dont give u pinpoint assignment till u finish ur skill identifier training.. if u are in germany period its close to me.. germany is small..

 

[shuwa29]

i still have to go through boot camp and tech school for the air force so it'll be 6-7 months until i'm stationed anywhere. right now, japan and germany and spain are my top choices.
later

 

[JONB7777]

to be honest ull prob get germany.. those others are pretty hard to get...

take care.. good luck at boot.. but its pretty easy compared to army so ull prob think its cake.. just remember the first two weeks are the worst.. "hell week"

 

[fullservie]

wrong post...sorry

yeah for the SI.. they didnt do any raw research on 2gnt's..

i had 3 intake systems. weapon-r dragon intake system.. aem cold air intake system, and the aem v2..

the v2 juss kicked ass.. i love it.. but the downfall for it is juss that it doesnt have a bypass valve.. its not like it matters, but in the rain it does. so when it rains i juss slap on the weapon-r dragon intake system.

The Injen two piece won by far.

"Far"? 1-2 hp difference? Baloney. You'll get more variance than that between runs. It's like a radar detector comparison that shows a 200-foot difference. All that chart shows is who bought the testers lunch that day.
