DEI New CryO2 Fuel Chiller System!

Design Engineering‘s next generation method of chilling the temperature of fuel before entering the intake stream is now available – the CryO2 Fuel Chiller System!

The new CryO2 Fuel Chiller System uses the cryogenic properties of liquid CO2 to charge a series of internal cryogenic chambers surrounding the center “fuel” chamber. As the fuel passes through the center chamber, the cryogenic-charge chambers super cool the fuel by maximizing the thermal transfer process removing heat four times more effectively than any other system available today.

As the temperature of fuel is reduced it increases in density. The denser fuel results in better and more efficient burning of the fuel – consequently generating more power and greater fuel efficiency.

Heat created by high pressure fuel pumps, high under hood temperatures, heat from header and exhaust manifolds, etc., all combine to raise the temperature of fuel and creates a potentially lean condiiton or “vapor lock” that can damage the engine.

The CryO2 Fuel Chiller System can be used along with your existing CryO2 system, or a nitrous oxide system, to lower fuel temperatures and improve HP and efficiency and reduce the chances of engine damage.

Each CryO2 Fuel Chiller System comes complete with two (2) -4AN and -6AN fittings as well as two (2) 3/8″ barb fittings and mounting brackets and hardware. Also in the kit is a 2-foot length stainless steel braided hose for use with -4AN fittings to allow a connection to other components such as a CryO2 Air Intake or CryO2 Intercooler Sprayer.

Features & Benefits
•Removes heat from fuel greatly improving fuel density
•Super cooling efficient design maximizes thermal transfer process
•Reduce chances of detonation
•Cooler fuel reduces chance of lean condition and vapor lock
•Utilizes DEI’s CryO2 system or existing nitrous system
•Lowers air & fuel intake charge temps improving horsepower and efficiency
•Easy install

AEM New Pontiac G8 6.0L V8 Intake Tube!

The Pontiac G8 is a performance sedan and replaced the Bonneville and Grand Prix in the Pontiac line-up. The G8 was actually manufactured by General Motors’ Australian subsidiary and is based on the Holden VE Commodore.

Available in three trim levels, Sedan, GT, and GXP, the G8 is Pontiac’s first rear-wheel drive sedan since 1986. Unfortunately, the 2009 model year brought production of the G8 to an end as GM announced the discontinuation of the Pontiac brand.

Although production of the G8 has ceased, AEM can appreciate the value of engineering a performance air intake system for this vehicle. The G8’s short production run is sure to make it an instant classic with performance enthusiasts and collectors.

Owners of 2008 and 2009 Pontiac G8 models with a 6.0L V8 engine, can now increase their performance while also increasing under hood appeal with the choice of either a gray powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube (21-8027DC) or polished aluminum intake tube (21-8027DP).

AEM engineers created a highly unique intake system for G8 6.0L models. Emissions equipment found inside the factory air box is becoming increasingly common. This means that removing the OE air box assembly has the potential to make a vehicle non-compliant with emissions regulations.

To overcome this obstacle, AEM designers created a mandrel-bent aluminum air intake inlet tube for the G8 6.0L that retains the use of the factory air box assembly. Part numbers 21-8027DC and 21-8027DP eliminate the OE resonator chamber and accordion style factory inlet tube. The result is a smoother delivery of air to the engine, a sizeable increase in horsepower, and an intake that is street legal in all 50-states.

AEM’s Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Pontiac G8 with a 6.0L V8 engine on our dynamometer. Results showed horsepower increases throughout the RPM range with a maximum horsepower gain of 6.67 horsepower @ 5,000 RPM!

Installation of AEM’s performance air intake system for the Pontiac G8 6.0L is simple and relatively straightforward. It requires no cutting or drilling and can be installed with common hand tools. Additionally, AEM warrants this intake system for the life of your vehicle.

AEM 2010 Camaro SS Cold Air Intake!

The return of the Chevrolet Camaro in 2010 ends the eight-year hiatus by one of America’s classic muscle cars. Now in its fifth generation, the Camaro is packed with a phenomenal list of features. For the SS model, the Camaro is powered by the LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine, which produces 426 horsepower (six-speed manual transmission). The automatic transmission equipped Camaro SS is fitted with the L99 V8 engine producing 400 horsepower. To match the powerful engine of the Camaro, Chevrolet opted to outfit the SS with four-piston Brembo brakes along with the StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control. With a hefty list of performance-oriented features, the 2010 Camaro was clearly designed with the enthusiast in mind.

Once AEM‘s engineering department caught wind of the new Camaro, they also focused on offering an air intake system for the performance-oriented Camaro owner. For the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS with the 6.2-liter V8 engine, AEM introduces the 21-8029C Cold Air Intake System in Gunmetal Gray.

In the design of the 21-8029C air intake system, AEM needed to work within the confines of the Camaro’s engine compartment. To do so, AEM engineers designed an inlet tube that would give a large volume of airflow with little added restriction. The end result would be a massive three-inch mandrel-bent inlet tube constructed from high-grade aluminum. The design calls for the inlet tube to route from the V8′s frontward-facing throttle body into the driver’s side wheel well. In addition to the mandrel-bent aluminum tube, AEM utilized the optimal location for a cool air source. In order for the DryFlow performance air filter to occupy this location, the Camaro’s windshield washer fluid reservoir had to replaced with a sleeker piece. To this end, AEM designed a washer fluid reservoir that would better accommodate the location. Each AEM 21-8029C air intake system comes complete with a new washer fluid reservoir and mounting bracket.

On the dyno, the AEM 21-8029C Cold Air Intake System yielded impressive results. In factory form, the test vehicle generated a peak of 318.67 horsepower at the wheels. With the AEM 21-8029C cold air intake system in place, the Camaro’s peak power output jumped up to 325.98 horsepower at the wheels. A maximum gain of 16.53 horsepower at 4,200 RPM was also recorded with the AEM intake installed.

The 21-8029C Cold Air Intake System for the Camaro uses a DryFlow Performance air filter. The DryFlow air filter has a three-inch inlet diameter that outflows the V8 engine’s requirements. The oil-free DryFlow technology is extremely durable and easy to clean. To further augment the filtration properties of the DryFlow performance filter, AEM also offers DryFlow Pre-Filters. Designed to prevent splashes of water and/or mud from saturating the DryFlow air filter, AEM’s Pre-Filters are manufactured from durable micro-screen materials that are pretreated with a proprietary hydrophobic process.

K&N Infiniti G37 & Nissan 370Z Gets More Breathing Room!

For years sports car enthusiasts have flocked to Nissan dealerships to get their hands on the infamous line of Z-cars. Since its introduction in 1969, the Nissan series of Z-cars has sold almost 2 million units and holds the record for best selling sports car series of all time.

For many reasons the Z was forced into hiatus during the late 1990’s. When it resurfaced in late 2002 it wasn’t alone. Nissan Motors, who also builds luxury vehicles branded as Infiniti, created a line of Infiniti cars based on the Z platform. The now legendary G coupe and sedan were born out of this relationship.

The 2009 and 2010 370Z and G37 are well-engineered machines. However, K&N engineers are constantly in pursuit of more power. After looking under the hood, K&N engineers knew that with their expertise these cars were capable of more. Much consideration was put into the design of part number 69-7078TS for the 2009-2010 Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37 models with a 3.7L V6 engine.

The stock intake tract uses a dual intake set up fed by dual air boxes and air filters. K&N intake 69-7078TS replaces the stock pieces with twin powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubes and dual K&N High-Flow Air Filters™ for improved air delivery. 69-7078TS incorporates two unique heat shields isolating the dual air filters from the warm air under the hood. This intake system provides improved performance and attractive silver powder coated aluminum Intake tubes to match the color of the engine bay.

The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is over 14 more horsepower at the wheels. K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 2009 Nissan 370Z with a 3.7L V6 engine on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed horsepower increases throughout the RPM range with a shocking peak horsepower gain of 14.2 horsepower @ 5,600 RPM! Equally impressive is the extra 13.34 lb-ft of torque this car picked up at 5,600 RPM.

This air intake system uses two conical shaped, High-Flow Air Filters. RU-4960XD captures harmful particles, flows more air, and provides long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions.

In addition, K&N offers a RX-4990DK Drycharger® filter wrap that can be used in conjunction with part number 69-7078TS. Drycharger® filter wraps are durable pre-filters that are designed to filter large dirt particles and thus extend the time before the main air filter needs to be cleaned. These wraps can also repel water but add little restriction to the airflow of your filter. The wraps specifically designed for this intake filter are available in black, blue, red, and yellow.

69-7078TS is a complete system which takes about 90 minutes or less to install with common hand tools. It uses stock mounting points, requires no drilling, and is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
