so which is better PRM or Hotshot CAI?

 

[Dan [Sac]]

Neither - they will both perform very similarly. It all depends on which one looks better to you.

Gerry Sica (owner of PRM) runs mid-high 13's with a PRM intake - I have run low 13s with a Hotshot and a Home made intake - so they all flow very similarly...

This has been discussed ad nausea on other boards/mailing lists, and the general consensus is that it's more of an aesthetic choice rather than a performance one.

well... aesthetics and convenience during a rainstorm.......... But I've already spieled a ton on this subject on PT, I'm not going to repeat the tirade here.

rain+hotshot+puddle-engine=$$$$

prm due to the filter that it has,, it wont suck up as much water,, from what ive heard..

I have kind of an odd question, how far down does the PRM downpipe go? How much room is there between it an the splash guard?

I'm thinking of putting together a bastardized Hotshot/PRM/AEM setup (Hotshot warm air elbow--mostly cosmetic--AEM bypass, PRM CAI) then setting up some kind of scoop at the bottom of the PRM.

 

[QuadCam_GT]

you can "make" your own PRM using a Ractive filter, and some PVC

 

[claudermilk]

Yeah, but I don't like the aesthetics of ABS/PVC pipe. I've also found a site that sells pieces of 3" tubing & silicone connectors for a DIY intake. I'm looking at that option also--it gives me the aesthetics I prefer & avoids the problems I have with the Hotshot setup.

Where can I get the Ractive filter? Part number? I missed that somewhere.

I like the PRM better... In the event of rain you just remove the downpipe and you have a hotair intake, but no chance of water ingestion.

I've also found a site that sells pieces of 3" tubing & silicone connectors...

Do you have contact information for them? I'm looking for silicone connectors in racing blue and all I've been able to find is that purple/lavender or red color.

 

[claudermilk]

Sure thing, here it is:

Just wanted to let you know that he no longer sells the connectors no did he have someone he could refer me to.

 

[dmark101]

gil, you can get the silicone connectors from hose techniques.

when i was at their shop and talking to lucky (while greg was getting his 6 fitted), he said he had them in all sorts of color, then he preceeded to show me.

check out their website and give them a call.

 

[Gil Starr]

I spoke to someone there about a week ago (not lucky) and they said they didn't have the blue on hand at the time.

Anyways, I just spoke to Thomas at Street Design and he said he's receiving a new shipment this Friday. He also mentioned that Jin's headers will be ready tomorrow.

 

[dmark101]

cool.

i'm looking forward to seeing these headers. i'd love to see what improvements, if any, they've made on them.

we'll be seeing you saturday! :thumbup:

 

[QuadCam_GT]

Jin makes headers....:???:

 

[Gil Starr]

Jin makes headers....:???:

I wish someone we knew made them. He bought them from a guy we're trying to get to carry more Probe/MX-6/626 parts.

 

[dmark101]

yes, and according to gil, they will BE at our mod day this saturday.

hopefully everything goes well! :thumbup:
