K&N 09-10 Ford F-150 with 4.6L 3 Valve V8 Engine Get Power with K&N!

Ford’s 2009 and 2010 F-150′s come with numerous amenities that combine the comfort of a luxury sedan with truck functionality. Some of the accessories available from Ford that help to enhance the experience drivers enjoy include upgraded highly durable mats, tow accessories, Tonneau covers, alloy wheels, a remote starting system, bed liners and much more. In order to enhance the engine performance of this truck our engineering team has developed a 63 series Air Charger air intake system and given it the part number 63-2580. Our 63-2580 intake system is not designed to be used with 2 valve VIN W vehicles.

Through our tried and tested methods of engineering, that have been fine tuned over the 42 years K&N has been in business, we’ve been able to achieve an estimated increase of 16.14HP at 4650 rpm with this intake. This high flow air intake achieves these exceptional and realistic numbers by eliminating restrictive points in the stock air intake system. We eliminate the factory air box, stock air filter, resonator chambers and the stock intake tube. We replace these air restrictive components with K&N’s high flow intake tube, open element round tapered air filter and heat shield. Our high flow intake tube streamlines air flow by allowing it to flow through the intake tube and throttle body in a highly efficient way. When this is coupled with our high flow open element air filter number RC-5173 we achieve overall better performance. Our 63-2580 Air Charger system will increase horsepower, torque and throttle response. Obviously this tends to result in a more rewarding driving experience.

The replacement air filter part for this intake system is RC-5173. It can go for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is necessary depending on driving conditions. This filter also has a K&N Drycharger wrap option available to give your truck an even longer service interval. K&N filter wraps are great when a lot of your driving is in dusty environments. Our RC-5173DK air filter wrap is water resistant and made from a silicone treated polyester material and can be cleaned using a soapy water solution.

Our 63-2580 Air Charger intake system takes about 90 minutes or less to install with common hand tools. It uses stock mounting points, incorporates your vehicle’s factory electronic components into the system, requires no drilling and it is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

AEM More Power & More Style For The CR-Z!

Honda’s CR-Z has a sophisticated, aerodynamic shape and smooth, sleek lines that announces its arrival without saying a word. The fine styling of the CR-Z isn’t limited to the exterior. Once seated inside, drivers are treated to arguably one of the most advanced interiors Honda has ever created. In addition, the 2011 Honda CR-Z is powered by a 1.5L i-VTEC engine and is available with either a 6-Speed manual or CVT transmission. To compliment this car AEM has introduced a new intake system that boosts engine performance while seamlessly integrating into the engine bay.

AEM engineered this Cold Air intake system to relocate the air filter with sleek tubing to the outside of the engine bay in order to deliver air with lower temperatures to the air inlet. This aids in achieving increased horsepower since cooler air is denser and carries more oxygen molecules to the combustion chamber.

The AEM intake design comes with choice of two finishes, gunmetal gray (part 21-700C) or polished (part 21-700P). The gunmetal gray tube is powder coated, while the finish on the polished tube is vacuum metalized. These finishes are incredibly resilient to the harsh environment that exists under the hood which can cause oxidation and fading.

The cold air intakes have an AEM Dryflow air filter, part number 21-201DK. This high flowing filter traps dust and debris through an extremely durable synthetic media. The filter incorporates a metal screen on the outside of the media that enhances airflow and aids in keeping the pleating in the proper position.

Dyno testing was done on AEM’s 2011 Honda CR-Z 1.5L air intake systems and showed an estimated increase of 4 horsepower at 5400 rpm. AEM 21-700C and 21-700P come with detailed installation instructions that take you step by step through the simple process of installing one of these air intake systems on the 2011 Honda CR-Z with the 1.5L i-VTEC engine.

AEM Air Intake Systems come with a lifetime limited warranty.

Cusco New Suspension Goodies For Hot Hatches!

Introducing two new innovative products from CUSCO, Center-lock pillowball upper mounts and a ZERO-1 suspension kit for the Lexus CT200h.

 

 

Available for the first time, Centerlock Pillowball Upper Mounts for the Vitz, CR-Z, Fit, and Swift!
•An enhanced vehicle handling characteristic including a more direct and sharper steering feedback can be experienced. This new product is a necessity for high performance driving, dedicated for the race track.
•For vehicles with high grip tires still equipped with the normal rubber factory upper mounts, usually have the tendency of camber fluctuations causing understeer. This is due to the rubber absorbing the lateral G and stretching out of their static specification.
•By replacing the easily malleable factory rubber with CUSCO’s pillowball unit, the user will experience an efficient suspension movement relative to direct road surface feedback and increased tire grip.
•Centerlock pillowball upper mounts apply to all CUSCO suspension systems with no hassle. Also can be installed on other brands with the use of special nut & collar combination.
•In normal cases, installing pillowball upper mounts on the Vitz and Swift result in raised vehicle ride height. Also the overall strut area design on many vehicles do not make it possible for the use of pillowball upper mounts. But now with CUSCO’s new center lock design, pillowball mounts can now be adopted for higher level of suspension tuning while keeping the desired low vehicle stance.
•100% MADE IN JAPAN from high precision, durable, and long lasting NMB pillowball assemblies. Only the best and highest of quality components are utilized, especially for suspension.

 

 

 

The Comfort ZERO-1 series coilover suspension provides great stability especially targeted for daily driving and high speed cruising. The suspension kit is designed exclusively for vehicles equipped with a large wheel size low profile tires, such as the Lexus CT200h. The stability is still maintained even after the installation of larger aftermarket wheels, reducing the harsh bumpy feeling by utilizing the factory upper strut mounts. The result is a well balanced suspension setup that provides a stylish look for the new Lexus models.
