K&N Turbocharged Volkswagen and Audi New Air Intake System!

Lately, it seems like everyone is trying to do more with less, even in the automotive industry. Car buyers want vehicles which have lots of power, are reliable, and use as little fuel as possible. Car manufacturers can deliver a big punch from a small engine through the use of a turbocharger. Many Volkswagen and Audi vehicles use turbochargers, which is one reason why these brands of vehicles are among the most popular, fun to drive, and fuel efficient vehicles on the road today.

K&N has designed an air intake system (part number 69-9504TTK) for 2009-2010 Volkswagen Passat, Eos, CC, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine. The K&N intake system replaces the vehicle’s factory air box and air intake tube with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and open element cone filter, which work together to eliminate restriction and allow the engine to perform at its full potential.

K&N engineers designed this air intake to be easy to install with common hand tools and photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions. The vehicle’s factory air box and filter are replaced with K&N’s washable RX-4730XD XStream® top air filter and a metal heat shield assembly. The heat shield helps to funnel cooler outside air into the RX-4730XD air filter and helps isolate hot engine heat allowing a clean, cool air supply for the turbocharger to inhale. The mandrel-bent intake tube efficiently channels the incoming air flow from the filter to the turbocharger, in a design compatible with all factory emissions equipment and sensors. The RX-4730XD air filter provides outstanding engine protection and it will last for up to 100,000 miles before service is necessary, depending on driving conditions.

Results from testing on K&N’s chassis dynamometer shows the 69-9504TTK air intake system provides a 9.19 HP increase at 4853 RPM when tested on a 2009 Audi A3 with a 2.0 liter turbo engine. Increased performance does not have to sacrifice reliability; the K&N 69-9504TTK is backed by K&N’s Million Mile Limited Warranty and Consumer Protection Pledge, and is compatible with your vehicle’s engine management software so no vehicle modifications are necessary in order to realize this added performance.

AEM New Nissan 370Z ETI Intake System!

Nissan Motors has created a legacy with its Z-car lineup of sports cars. The Z-car family of vehicles began in 1969 with the 240Z (AKA Fairlady Z in Japan) and has maintained its success with the current 370Z model. Now in its sixth generation of the sports car, Nissan has pushed the envelope of technological advancement with each successive model.

The all-new 370Z incorporates outstanding advancements in both mechanical and electronic features alike. Powered by the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR dual-over-head-cam V6 engine, the 370Z generates an impressive 332 horsepower (at the flywheel) in stock form. This abundance of power is made possible by utilizing Nissan’s Variable Valve and Lift Control technology (VVEL). Nissan’s VVEL variable valve timing technology allows the VQ37 engine to be more efficient while improving response and power output at higher RPMs.

In order to harness the power of the 370Z’s V6 engine, Nissan invested particular attention to the 370Z’s power delivery system. To transfer the power to the rear wheels, Nissan couples the powerful engine to either a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, or a 6-speed manual transmission that features the first ever synchronized downshift rev-match system.

When upgrading a vehicle such as the 370Z, enthusiasts expect a high caliber of technology from their performance parts as well. AEM has accomplished incredible technological advances with their Electronically Tuned Intake (ETI) technology. The great news for 370Z enthusiasts is that a new ETI Cold Air Intake System is now available for the 2009 Nissan 370Z (part number 41-1001P).

To match up to the VQ37′s dual throttle bodies, the 41-1001P is comprised of dual mandrel-bent aluminum inlet tubes. Each highly polished 2.75-inch inlet tube originates at the throttle body and routes to the left and right wheel wells. It is in the wheel wells that DryFlow performance air filters are mounted to each inlet tube. The oil-free DryFlow technology is very durable and easy to clean. To take the filtration properties of the DryFlow performance air filter even further, AEM offers Filter Wraps that are manufactured from durable micro-screen materials that are pretreated with a proprietary hydrophobic process. AEM filter wraps repel water splashes and extend the filters service life. For the 41-1001P air intake system, AEM Filter Wraps are available as a separate accessory (part number 1-4000).

In order to clear enough space for the DryFlow air filters, AEM includes a custom designed windshield washer fluid reservoir with each 41-1001P air intake system. Each 370Z air intake system also includes two pre-programmed ETI modules. Both of the 370Z’s Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors plug directly into an included ETI module, which are specifically programmed to read the proper air density data. The result is more horsepower and torque gains.

In the case of the 370Z, the VQ37 engine responded well to AEM’s ETI technology. The 41-1001P cold air intake systems improve the 370Z’s power output from the stock baseline of 241 hp to a peak of 250 hp with the intake installed. In addition to enhancing the peak horsepower performance, a maximum gain of 9.67 horsepower was also recorded at 7,100 RPM during AEM’s testing. As seen on the dyno graph, a vast improvement is made from 6,600 RPM until the VQ37′s redline.

Skunk2 New Drive-By-Wire Pro Series Throttle Body!

Skunk2 is proud to introduce the first-ever, CNC-machined, big-bore drive-by-wire throttle body, debuting exclusively for ’06-’10 Honda Civic Si owners late-Spring, 2010, with other applications to follow. No other throttle body manufacturer (import or domestic) has been able to crack the drive-by-wire code. Until now, drive-by-wire tuners have been forced to rely on boring their OEM throttle bodies, which allows for only minimal airflow improvements. Skunk2′s unique electronic drive system—the first of its kind—is paired with the finest throttle body technology in the industry. Like all Skunk2 Pro Series Throttle Bodies, its new drive-by-wire units feature CNC-machined, 6061 aluminum construction, and will debut featuring a 74mm inlet and 70mm outlet in both hard-anodized and Black Series finishes. Each Pro Series Throttle Body features proprietary internals that, when matched with the factory sensors, allow for increased airflow but without sacrificing any of the smooth throttle characteristics Honda owners expect. A larger throttle body is key to producing additional power throughout the powerband on modified engines with increased airflow demands. Skunk2′s all-new, Pro Series Throttle Bodies for drive-by-wire K-series engines feature a large bore, which results in significant horsepower gains throughout the powerband on naturally aspirated applications and even more on forced induction ones.

K&N 2008+ Subaru Impreza STi Breathes Better!

The Subaru Impreza WRX STi is known for its impressive performance, safety and comfort. It offers a wider rear track and an improved brake pedal feel. The new underbody also adds stability at higher speeds. Standard all-wheel drive, turbocharged engine, aluminum suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels and aggressively designed sport seats make the Subaru Impreza WRX STi a fun and attractive car to drive.

K&N has developed an air intake system, part number 69-8005TWR for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STi with a 2.5 liter engine. K&N dynamometer testing shows an amazing 17.52 horsepower gain at 5260 rpm.

The 69-8005TWR features an aluminum intake tube with a powder coated wrinkle red finish and a K&N carbon fiber top cone shaped universal air filter, part number RP-5113.

The K&N washable and reusable air filter is isolated by a heat shield to help direct fresh outside air to the engine. The filter captures harmful particles, provides low restriction and also increases filter service life compared to the OEM air filter. It will perform for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions.

The impressive horsepower gain is also aided by the radius adaptor’s design as it smoothly takes the 5 inch flange of the air filter and connects it with the intake tube.

The high-flow technology invented by K&N provides a great balance of airflow and filtration. Designed to be installed with simple hand tools in 90 minutes or less, this K&N air intake system is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
