Litespeed titanium intake
 

Just received my litespeed titanium intake today, installing it took about 2 hours of receiving it, same exact instructions/install as the Stillen Genlll, everything was included in the kit, really happy with it:tup: I have more pics at my album

Nice intakes man. Never knew litespeed made intakes.

I see that you have the 5 Zigen headers. Those look really nice. Have you dynoed your setup yet?

those looks nice

How did you figure that?

I second this question! Because as far a the headers go i cant see anything lol.

you know, for people who spout about using the search function, you sure don't do a lot of searching! the pics of the headers are in his album. his only album. Also featuring his intake. Fail guys. Do a little research instead of starting a new post. You premium members...
(I kid of course) :P

On topic:
That intake and header set up look great! A little too flashy for me but to each their own. Dyno?

LOL!!! Sorry!!!
I actually only looked at his posts. Most peoplw who make a thread on an intake would make one on super rare headers

Yeah I read his post and said he had more pics in his album and saw that he had the headers. Hence my question.


PS: some people don't really like posting what they have or telling what they have for every single part. Hence why I don't even have a journal like most people.

How's the piping diameter and weight compared to the Gen III's?

Piping diameter is the same as GenIII's, i dont know bout the weight, but the whole kit weighs next to nothing.

Thanks bro, haven't dynoed it yet, I'm puting in Berks HFC this weekend, I don't know if I need to get it tuned??

Sorry to be a party pooper, but this intake system is MORONIC because of all the cuts and bends. The goal of airflow is to SMOOTH it out, not create excess turbulence.

You never know though without getting a dyno base line then after.

Im getting the same intakes. you beat me to them

True, manrel bent would be better and I'm disappointed that didn't happen with the shallower bends, although I understand the cutting with the tighter bends. At least with intakes, the cross section is much larger so airflow isn't as high and hopefully the cuts don't make much difference. I'm mostly interested in weight savings over a steel intake and for me, a good excuse to go back and drill out my radiotor support. Didn't do that for my takedas and that pinch in the silicone tubing probably creates more turbulence then these cuts ever could.

Very Nice....:tup:

These look awesome. Would really love to see some solid Dyno numbers one day from these intakes. Anything close to the stillens and I'd jump on them.

Titanium can not be bent into tight bends, so it has to be cut, and welded. Each cut is made with a computer controlled water jet cutter, for accurate cuts. The inside of the pipe is surprisingly smooth, as the welds are really clean.

these look sick... only one question though, how do you drive your car cause im sure these cost an arm and probably both legs lol

Looks awesome. Do they transfer less heat to the intake air than the similar stillen kit? It would be awesome to see a carbon fiber intake like this. since you guys do alot of titanium, you think you could make a strut tower brace that is cheaper than the ZELE?

where are you getting them from? Maperformance doesn't even list the 370z on their website.

Very nice piece, but... for the money i think it was a waste. The weight savings/ lower temps. Is'nt worth the $$$ IMO. More for a show car and bragging rights. But none the less it is very nice!

are you planning on getting this dyno'd. Interested to see what the gains are, if they are similar to the Gen 3s as well, since design shape and location are similar

We don't even know the price on these yet though. If they aren't much more than Gen III's, weight savings alone could be worth it.

i was just assuming price based on typical titanium costs lol

wow tat looks ******* amazing!!!!

I am interested in some dyno results as well. What kind of filters are those? I'm guessing not K&N?

I feel like I may be wrong, but just going off the color...

Maybe?

I wouldn't say the material used is going to make that much of a difference in cost. It is the work involved in making them, bending, cutting, and then all the precise welding.

I would.

It does take more labor to do titanium, but the materials are roughly 2-3 times as much.

Who knows what this thing costs, the OP obviously isn't saying. It's probably hugely overpriced and I would be pretty shocked if it did as well as the Stillens do.

Here are some high res pics:

The filters are "The Green Filter". They actually outflow K&N and "dry type" filters. Plus they will not set off any check engine lights because they use a water based oiling solution.

That looks nice OP.:tup: In for the dyno numbers.

What kind of results do these produce? Anything special about them??

still no dyno numbers, mention of price, etc. :/ pictures are nice but just like the Kinetik manifold.. who cares if they don't perform and cost waaaay too much?

They are titanium.
(and use Green filters)
Litespeed claims similar gains to other CAI's. Will have to see the dyno graphs first though.

I'm sure pricing+specs will turn up here in a day or two:

The lack of any mention of price so far really scares me though.

Is it possible for us to get the part numbers for the green filters? I know a few of us are looking for alternative filters for out CAI's.

Green Filter USA - Cone and Cylinder Filter Search

They have a lot of options :)

litespeed racing — Nissan 370z Titanium Cold Air Intake

He's updated his site with pricing. 899 retail.

Titanium is great but for similar gains, $899 is hard to swallow. Gen 3's are still hard to swallow for me lol.
