PRM Jet Stream looking for testers: Canada
 

Welcome to PRM Racing - Jet Stream Intake System

PRM is looking for testers for thier intake, someone from canada step up eh?

I had this on my 350, it was probably the best intake and sound hands down

Interesting concept.. What were the hp gains on the 350 ?

You knowwwwww..... there is a Canadain section under "regions".

10 and 8....and thats sayiing Alllloot for a DE 350Z!

yeah, but i figured it would get the most attention here, i will post there too , thanks

I will do it! Where do I sign up?

i gave them a call about production, then they said that they were looking for testers in Canada. I told them i would spread the word on this site

:tup:

your going to do it Sibze!?!? Do it!

I'll take a drive to OHHHH CANADA!

Ya, maybe not. Hour and a half from me

I sent an e-mail, we will see what they say

This is an interesting product, I gave them a call and said they are building a kit for it. Asked me to give them a call tomorrow, let you all know if there any updates.

Sibze where are you located? I think your the other blue 370z I see around lol.

Hamilton area

yes! get this going! i loved this intake on my 350...the sound was awesomr too

ill try it,whats the deal?iam in sault ste marie ontario

Too far for me or else i'd go!

Cool. Schomberg, Ontario may be a bit far for you I guess, I'm up in Markham still going to take me 1 hour to get there.
It is far but definitely welcome other guinea pigs to join me :icon17:

Not sure what the deal is, I'll keep everyone posted if there are new updates

Interesting design~looks like a SRI. If they can make it longer, then it will have more performance gain. I'll give it a shot~hope BC is not too far for them! Just something sounds hot with my matte white Z

ahhhh cant drive there tho,Z's sleeping in my garage till winters over,its cold around here

Interested to see results. Was the 350Z price listed for a single intake or dual?

I'm sure they ship stuff across North America, if not deolee I'll pick one up for you and ship it.

I actually don't know much about this intake, I was going to get the R2C intake but I'm going to see what this offers before I buy it now. Read some reviews for other vehicles, the gains are impressive.

I'm just worried about the heat will soak the intake due to the length of the intake. Oh well~I can always test it right? We need more info. on it, like piping diameter and what brand is the filter element. :tup:

Actually, they could develop a boot for the end of it that would plug right into the OEM bumper inset just like the factory airbox.

If they do that, you've got a (theoretically) improved design than maintains OEM cool air ducting with potentially improved flow characteristics, and zero chance of hydrolock.

Given that the filter isn't exposed, it would have excellent heat shielding too by virtue of its design.


Whoever tests, see if you can get them to do that.

I should give them a call as i can compare it to the stillen G3.
I have all the dyno's on my car.
Can sombody post there phone #.

Hi everyone,

I gave PRM Racing a call yesterday and confirmed that he is looking for a tester, it's really at the early stages of prototyping. He also mentioned that he was looking for a stock to test with, he will build prototypes and need to do multiple dyno's to see which prototype produce the best gains.

I offered to be a test mule and to help him out for the whole prototype process. Z eliminator for more of their product & contact information check out their website Welcome to PRM Racing - Jet Stream Intake System

Jordo that's a good idea, I'll bring up your suggestion to see what he thinks. I'm no engineer so be cool if everyone can give some inputs.

Thanks :tiphat:

It shouldn't be too hard to fabricate something like that. They just need to make a mold of that badge shaped plastic piece from the front of the airbox, add a coupler to connect it to the end of their intake, done.

thats a good idea, i was thinking of it long enough to where it would reach OEM part...

If they do it right, it should fit nice and snug just like OEM, and have access to cool air from the bumper.

Hell, combine a modshack fang vent with that, and you've got ram air.

Hi everyone,
Just an update. I went up to PRM Racing and they did some measurements, currently they are working on a prototype. Their designs are more like SRI pointing toward the suction airbox. That's it for now.

Good news man! Thanks for stepping up, rep points for you...

I was completely inlove with this intake on my old 350Z, hopefully it will be as good for the 370Z!

Thanks! Another update, it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get a prototype ready. Once it's ready we are going to do some dyno runs, base vs the prototypes.

So it will clamp down to seal to the inner bumper and make use of the OEM ducting?

Awesome! I may try this then if not too pricey!

Keep us posted!!! :tiphat:

Remember to do 4-5 runs (not just 3) to see effects of filters.

If someone has a set of K&N' panels to compare and contrast, that would be great -- major selling point!

Also, if anyone can monitor air temps, that would also be worth knowing.

Great job!

Yes from what I understood they will clamp it down near the OEM ducting, however it will not fit right into it. I suggested that they make a heat shield around that area so the intake will minimize pulling in air from the engine.
Also the intake is encased already so that's additional protection.

Alright I'll suggest to them monitoring the air temp and doing 4 to 5 runs. I have a complete stock system, no K&N filters.

If it doesn't seal to the bumper like OEM, it's not going to work much better than any other SRI... If it's open, it will draw in underhood heat -- period. They can minimize it with clever placement, but hotter air will still tend to get drawn in.

All they need is a plastic flange and two short lines of flexible high tempt ducting (similar to modhsack's fang vent set up). THe flange just needs to clip into the bumper ducts. How hard would it be to make that?

Just sayin...

They should pick up a set of K&N's for you to do the test. If it can't outperform the cheapest option in town, why bother?

I guess they could do a comparison with a set of Gen 3's if someone can lend it to you, but dropping in the panel filters will be much easier.

If they can show it does better than the high flow panel filters, they'll have one-upped every other company selling an intake for this car -- a great selling point!

Who cares if it outflows a paper element at this stage in the game?

Again, just sayin...

this is key...i hope they look at this and make a connecting piece

Hi everyone,

The first prototype is up and we took it for a dyno run, you will notice that the intake sticks out from the car a bit that would be corrected on the next version. Posted up a video just as a teaser it's still a work in progress. Don't have the dyno info on me but after several runs the gain is around 8 hp.

I don't think it's the case of how difficult it is to make a connecting piece from the duct to the intake but rather the cost and if it's worth it at the end. You have to keep in mind as you drive cold air should be forced through the fascia and the filter is protected as well. Regardless looking for more suggestions and comments!

sounds good, i love the sound! if they can make it suck air from the OEM location i bet gains will be even better....I'm more intreseted in the under the curve gains vs peak/

in for dyno

Yeah the sound of the intake is awesome, the final product will definitely point lower to the air duct. Still not sure if they are going to manufacture the connecting piece. I'm waiting for them to email me the dyno results, will post up once I get it.

in for more updates :)
