AEM R&D Engineering data on the Ralliart Cold Air Intake Box

AEM has spent a great deal of time and effort making sure this intake performs well and most importantly, safely. Engineers created an indepth write up on the development / inception of this intake. I had the opportunity to interview a key engineer involved with the project. Look for the two part interview in the coming two weeks. In the mean time, read up on the notes below.

If I'm reading graph 3 correctly:
The computer is registering a "lean" condition (relative to "optimal") and as such the LTFT is throwing a bit more fuel into the combustion process.

Hmm...this is nice and great design and graphics....BUT if you have noticed the color of its heat build up toward the end of the turbo intake part, why is that? Shouldn't the air be "cold", since it is preferred, to have a colder air before going into the turbo cuz after the turbo compression, it heats up its energy before going into the intercooler.

BTW...Don't know if some of you guys know this but K&N has bought AEM. I met with a rep like about a month ago and that is what I was told.

The hot spot near the turbo would be from heat transfer through the turbo body.
