AEM Bruteforce Dryflow... . results are:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Just installed this morning. Went out on the highway. Normally when I rolled into the throttle I would see up to 42psi with my modded stock box. This time it seemed I couldn't get above 32-33psi. Hmmmm... Tryed balls out flooring it a few times... same result. Getting worried. Get to a good steep overpass. From standing start, rolled the throttle, finally just touched 40psi and had to get outta it. After I did this and stopped for awhile, I opened the hood to check things out. The filter minder was pinned to the max. Never had this happened with the stock modded box. Maybe an 1/8th of an inch max was the most before. Took it out for another quick run, came back to check minder and AGAIN sucked all the way down. Well I guess I just ran an experiment for all of us here. The AEM dryflow filter is too restrictive in my mind. Going to keep the setup, just change the filter, probably to a AFE Proguard, unless someone talks me outta doing that... .

btw- lots of turbo whistle with this one...

All the hype about the dryflow lately and it turns out its a POS... :-laf :-laf



Glad you experimented and let everyone know.

Should've done what I said originally and used your idea about the larger mouthed AFE. But I kept pricing everything and all the little parts and pieces I needed would've been around the 200dollar range and I didn't have the time to fab anything up... .

Shoulda, coulda, woulda... dang it... live and learn

I was planning on getting that filter. You saved me a bunch of money, THANKS

 

[AMassaro]

Others are telling me it's the placement of the filter minder that is rendering it useless and that the filter should be fine as far as airflow is concerned. I'm going to compare egt's today, hopefully, to see if they've crept upwards. If they are still ok, then maybe I do have enough airflow and I've jumped the gun on badmouthing this filter... . Time will tell...

good info!!!

Ive been lookin at that too, you sure gave some good R&D AMassaro. so does anyone know the part ### for an Afe with like a 4 or 5 inch suction side that flows 1000cfm?..... jeremy

Did some driving today with the AEM setup. Today I was able to hit 40psi a number of times no problem and my egts barely hit 1300. I guess all is good with this filter. Just have to ignore the filter minder as some have said to do. It'd be interesting to do some back to back tests with this dryflow vs. Afe's Proguard...

Dyno

are you going to do the r&d testing any time soon?..... jeremy

 

[AMassaro]

Not anytime soon. Unless someone has an Afe they want to lend me. .
