When will Injen finish CAI and Exhaust for 09 2.4L Lancer GTS?
I've been waiting patiently and wanting to get some feedback from anyone who knows when they will finish or if they even have started. Did they get the test car they needed? Sigh i wish they finished soon...

the CAI for the 2.4l engine has been tested with the new 2.4l intake and supposedly has gained +13hp compared to +2-3hp on the 2.4l engine with a 2.0 injen intake. im not sure how true these results are, dyno is on another forum.
the design of the cai is different but the maf holder is larger in diameter, not sure if this would help produce a +11hp gain...anybodys inputs.

The 2.4 will be out soon, INJEN has shared pictures with us about their 2.4L version. And the results will be impressive. Its a tuned 2.4 version. For those who own the 2.0 version on their 2.4 lancer now would be a good time to put those intakes up for sale to make way for the new version. The resale value of the Injen intake is still going to be high.

If you dont drive crazy you should see an increase

considering selling mine, evo_soul anythoughts about doing an independent dyno of the two, or any idea if injen is interested in someone doing an independent dyno of the two on a 2.4l engine ?

But things are getting more exciting, other companies are joining in the testing for short rams as well as more intakes for the EVO X.
that is set for early summer.in the end of summer there might be a comprehensive exhaust benchmarking
Mobil 1 has been very helpful in sponsoring our dyno efforts this winter
Cheers

In general, it all depends on design. some SRI's can yield big gains, but they have to get it just right. CAI gain an advantage because its easier to get colder air into the engine. but some SRIs with a proper heat shield can create a good numbers as well.

I had a CAI on my Dodge Avenger, it decided to rain... A LOT...one day on my way home. Long story short CAI+Flash Flood=OH S#!T. Car sputtered but luckily there was no damage. I think I'd rather have a SRI after that.

that said, if there is a flash flood and your know your in trouble. Stop, pull over. take a nap chill.
just dont go thru deep water.
I remember here in Toronto a few years ago, Finch street was screwed, yet i saw two performance cars try to go thru a street that was washed away due to a failed watermain. haha both cars get hydro locked. a RSX and a Accord.
the look on the RSX guys face was priceless. WTF!!!!! :O
the accord guy was just stunned in his car looking like

this is true, if u have a cai and you hear ppl around saying yeah its gonna rain alot in 2 days for a few days or its gonna get pretty bad then just switch out the cai to the stock air box, for the lancer all u gott ado is remove the upper portion and your done.
ive done this twice in 5 months no hassle, better safe than sorry.

nothing will happen to your car unless you submerge. and its not easy to do. to be honest you have to be pretty unlucky, or pretty "stupid"** most of the time its just unlucky. but there are times when people should not do something. but they go thru with it thinking " oh i should be alright" lol bang. and then they come onlne and say, I dont understand how this could have happend lol haha
Bottom line
Even if your intake gets wet, I saw i guy leave his car idling, spray a hose on it for a second on a exposed intake. nothing. its gotta suck the water up to do damage. its not easy
