ya, i feel they need some fresh air to really get the most out of them hince the mines ram air ducts for the bumper...

note to self...order mines air ducts with out ole lady noticing two holes in the bumper...

good to hear there were gains...even at 95F lol :)

Lou, what did they end up changing on the intake version 2.0 to get the increase in power?

Nothing, That was the production intake they have on our Z, same one you got. They are planning on making heatshields per my request and possible intake ducts but i don't know when just yet, hopefully after SEMA:tup:

Any idea if the heat shields will be available as an add on to the existing intakes or will it require a redesign of the intakes? Just want to know if I can go ahead and install mine :-)

My butt dyno felt these intakes were putting down more power, nice to see that the dyno agrees with my butt.:tup:

You will really notice these intakes open up past 45mph when air starts to flow well in the engine bay. I agree some nice heat shields would help even more, ducts will work too but I am not cutting holes in my Z. I also think once I get the Berks High Flow cats the car will really start putting down some more noticeable gains. Results should get a lot better when the car can breath in and get the exhaust to flow out better.

I finally got a copy of the dyno sheet today. Sorry for the delay, The project manager is out till the 30th so i'm not sure if when the heatshields will be ready for the Z. I'm sure it will be after SEMA

hopefully you guys can read it since the color they used were so light

Lou how do i equate those numbers from this graph...

A few things, I just noticed they did the dyno run in 3rd gear.
Other thoughts I have been going over, suggestions for better intakes:
~Longer pipes to get closer to the pre-made holes
~Solid box
~Filter design, I just noticed the top of the filter is sealed only allowing air from around them. With a solid box this might be fine, but maybe a different filter allowing direct air from the pre-made holes to come into.

Just putting up some ideas if Takeda wants some input, also any updates from Takeda on what they are working on. Changes, modifications, new design?

I think they at least need to add heatshields. I installed a scangauge last Friday and notice that I'm running IAT of about 25 degrees over ambient with the Takedas. Note that this is when going over 45 mph. In traffic IAT are at over 100. (at an
ambient temp of about 50). So I'll try the Modshack fang intake mod and if that doesn't
work I'll replace the Takedas with Stillen G3s. (I feel I should have done this
in the first place, but that's what I get for being cheap)

Yep, I am going Stillen or Injen in the spring unless Takeda comes out with some excellent update.

X3 for Gen3, Don't like injen because of the washer fluid can replacement. I think the Gen 3 + fang intake is the way to go.

IMHO, those IAT's is what makes the big difference in Dreamers
dyno (hood closed) and Takedas dyno (hood open)
