valentines day will never be the same...

 

If you use a starter solenoid you won't need a 60 amp switch. Also the longer the wire run the larger the wire must be going to the motors. If you use 4 gauge wire you will only have to run one wire to the motors. Put a good ground at the batteries and at the motors.

 

I spoke with e-ram yesterday, their system runs off the existing electrical system with an actuator switch under the gas pedal. They say it only activates at WOT because it sux too much juice to run constantly. Turns out Mike races his Porsche in SCCA events here in So. Cal.

He claims a dual system in my CAI would achieve a 5% hp gain. That's not a huge increase, but every little bit helps with this car...

I told him I was having a dyno run at Buttonwillow in the next few weeks and would get a baseline w/o his system, then install and re-dyno at the same facility. If I did not achieve the gains in HP he would take the system back and refund the cost... I didn't bother asking him for a demo kit, afterall, he's a small shop and surely needs the money...

I'll keep you guys posted...

 

how much is it??

 

Their single system is $299. Since I have dual intake pipes, I would put one on each pipe, thus $600. It seems kinda hokey, but I'll give it a try and post the results...

 

So with all your posting babble you came to the same probable conclusion I did about this product...your a piece of work...

 

i think we were all saying the thomas knight one would work...

 

man, with allllll the love in this thread, now I recall why I was never a big fan of forums.

chung

 

keeps things going though...i love it, this way people get pissed and wanna prove things so stuff actually gets done...

 

respdoc, what is your problem man? I mean if it doesn't work are you gonna scream like a little kid "I told you so nya nya nya nya"?

Who cares, its just fun to mess around with stuff. Why even be on a forum then?

 

Who died and made you boss? Why would you want too jump into this hissy fit and take sides? Lets all get back to thread topic and let these two take it elsewhere.

 

^^^ Take your own advice then eh? Boss? LOL, the dude has been in multiple threads with his panties in a bunch. So its OK for someone to bit*h and moan and drag a thread down but someone can't comment on it? Riiiiiight gotcha. :|

Anyway back OT.

 

this is a funny post, but i'll just stay out of this...

 

Hey HDDP, did they say anything about the size of wire recommended? A #4 wire is really large but flexible welding cable or Hypralon will handle the load at a much smaller wire size such as a #6 or #8. I would have to look my welding cable table to find out the exact size for sure.

 

Welding cable is almost always 0 gauge.

 

I say just go on down to Home Depot and pick yourself up a leaf blower, you know one of those 175 mph wind type, yep put a fan like that under your hood and look out...anyone seen those Duke boys, uncle Jesse, or cousin Daisy on the forum?

 

Here's what I got back from Mike today after sending him a photo of my CAI.

Please see the attached picture for information on our recommendation.



I believe the best option for testing purposes will be to mount the e-RAM units in the e-RAM-FILTER configurations as replacements to your existing cone filters. This will allow you to perform the testing without having to make any other modifications to your intake.

Wayne: That was not a discussion I had with Mike... I'll have to get into that with him before I test this thing... He was very interested in the way I'm approaching it with a pre-dyno and post dyno... He did voice a concern about having our MAF at the throttle body and was not sure how the FMU & ECU would react to the additional air. He suggested that my dyno's be done with air/fuel mixture testing as well... Unfortunately that takes my cost from a basic $45 dyno run to $125 for the additional A/F ratio tests. Oh well, one less Cohiba cigar and bottle of 18 y/o single malt scotch... LOL

I'm going to try to get to Buttonwillow on Monday (Presidents Day) since I'm not working... I'll keep you posted...

 

Hmmm....looks easy on my custom CAI and I have to keep the engine cover!

 

Cyril: I'll do a test and post the results with dyno print-outs in the next few weeks... I'm skeptical, but what the heck...
