AEM Press Release – New Electronically Tuned Intake (ETI) Systems

AEM-41-1401C

Once again AEM is raising engineering standards with an all new series of innovative air intake systems.  With a revolutionary ETI module and fully integrated design, we have eliminated the need to detune or stage an intake tube diameter as it crosses the MAF sensor. The sensor is electronically adjusted to read proper air density instead of using physical tube designs intended to “trick” the MAF reading. The result is bigger horsepower and torque gains.

Most modern fuel injected cars use a Mass Air flow (MAF) sensor to determine the air flow rate into the engine and meter fuel according to input from the sensor. The relation between the voltage output of the sensor and mass air flow is adversely affected by a shift to a larger diameter intake tube because the airspeed is reduced. This causes the MAF sensor to “under report” air flow causing a lean condition at worst and a Check Engine Light at best. To accommodate MAF sensor reporting, many intake systems reduce the diameter of the intake tube near the MAF sensor to stock or near stock size because of the need to maintain the correct air speed for the sensor to report the correct flow rate to the ECU. AEM’s ETI Intake System is an alternative design approach that allows the intake tube to maintain its diameter resulting in more air flow into the throttle body.

The ETI Intake System allows AEM to tune an engine for even more power by avoiding any tube down-sizing that will reduce overall airflow and horsepower. Instead the ETI electronically communicates with the MAF sensor to ensure an accurate amount of fuel is being delivered even though the tube is larger in size than the stock system. This means the vehicle maintains the calibration as intended by the factory while enjoying the benefits of our custom designed aftermarket intake system.

Agency Power Press Release – Matte Black 996TT Dual Flow Intake Kit

AP-996TT-115

Are you a nonbeliever of aftermarket air intakes and think that what Porsche created for the 996 Turbo is truly the best? Well, Agency Power has developed the ultimate air intake system for the new age Porsche 996 Turbo owner. We introduce the Agency Power Dual Flow Air Intake Kit for the Porsche 996TT. The intake will fit on the standard 996TT and X50 rear deck lids. Others such as the GT2 deck lid may require modifications. This air intake uses the factory OEM back half of the intake box which includes the fault free OEM MAF tube. What we have done is beefed up the front cover with a full composite unit which is designed to intake more air volume which is then traversed over the flat panel air filter. The biggest improvement of this box is the dual snorkel. We have built a composite intake scoop which mounts on the bottom of the left side of the engine deck lid. This scoop takes the airflow from the vented deck lid and pushes it through the snorkel piece and down into the stock air box. The purpose of this design is to increase air flow to the factory filter.

In high speed or racing conditions, the intake needs to be able to get as much air as possible to keep these turbos working efficient. This dual snorkel unit combined with our updated OEM box cover and a K&N flat panel air filter does wonders for your overall vehicle performance. These made in the USA (Arizona) composite parts are a great add-on to your 996TT.  Included with the intake are the aluminum Agency Power badge and foam strips for a precise air tight seal from the snorkel to the box. The intake kit does not include the aftermarket drop in filter. Any of the OEM replacement filters will work with this box.

Password JDM Press Release – Carbon Kevlar Cooling Plate for Civic Coupe

PWCCP-FGX-U0K

The cooling system is a vital component of your FG 2006+ Civic’s Coupes operation. The radiator needs constant airflow, with minimum turbulence, to be as efficient as possible. Unfortunately, gaps in the structure around the radiator allow air to escape, resulting in lost efficiency. We have designed the Password: JDM Dry Carbon Kevlar Cooling Plate for the 06+ Honda Civic 2Dr Coupe to eliminate this problem. By preventing air to escape over the top of the radiator, these cooling plates allow a maximum amount of airflow directly to your radiator, resulting in reduced coolant temperatures during aggressive driving.

Not only will you gain cooling efficiency with the PWJDM radiator cooling plate, you will also clean up your cluttered engine bay. Unlike the other cooling plates out there, ours is super light, often more than twice as light as a clear coated carbon versions.
