BIG MOUTH picture thread!

As far as intake temperatures, how much of a difference does it make? I already used a hole saw to drill a couple holes in that spot and I saw a huge drop in intake temps so this would be interesting to see if it drops it even more.

You will definitely see a decrease in IAT. Although that is a nice by product of having this inlet, it was not the sole design intent to decrease IAT. By nature, it was designed to raise the air pressure to the inlet of the compressor, which gives a boost in airflow. Imagine driving 'under' sea level, where the air pressure is a little bit higher due to your negative elevation. This device creates this high pressure environment for the compressor inlet (as if you were driving below sea level, your ambient inlet pressure is higher and this makes a huge difference), you will hit target boost at either a lower turbine speed (turbo runs more efficiently as a by product of this), or if you keep turbine speed the same (by having wastegate position unchanged, some OTS tunes do this by targeting wastegate position) you will see a boost in mass flow which equals power.

How far back from the honeycomb does this thing sit?

2 3/4" from edge of mouth to outside of honeycomb.

Any possibility of options for us 2016 guys in the near future?

I just installed one on a customer car last week, it was a 2016.

Fits just fine.

Here is his car. He came by and got it done in about an hour.

We were able to get the stock bumper cover back on. It does touch the intake but if you massage it back in place, all the clips will go back just fine.

Oh I didn't realize these have issues with the 2016 models. What needs to be done differently to get it to work?

Lol no issues for any model year. You're fine.

Are there any pics of the bumper cover installed, like this, but shot from the engine side forward?

Not sure what you mean by engine side forward, but here is mine:

Can someone comment on the performance of this unit? I would like to see for those that have upgraded intercoolers, what your Charge Air Temperatures compare to the ambient air. Right now as my car is rolling, I have anywhere from a 6-12 degree difference from Ambient to my Charge intake temperatures with my Injen Intake.

I'm just about to leave town for a week without my FiST. Otherwise I'd check for you. Maybe one of the other guys can. If not I will when I return.

 

[mercdank]

My logs are on my other computer but my ambient and charge temps are closer than 6-8 degrees if I recall correctly.

I am thinking running one of those with the stock air box wth you guys think about Rain and snow ? ? Actually not really worries about the Rain but snow??

Rain or snow shouldnt effect it. Theres a filter in between the big mouth and your intake.

Also for IAT. A true ram intake is not solely intended to lower IAT, althoug that is a byproduct of the design by nature. The intent is pressure conversion when the car is in motion. Basically, ram air into your airbox using forward motion of car, build up pressure, correlates into more mass air flow and/or less wastegate duty cycle which is worlds better than just lowering IAT alone.

reserving this for more pictures of BIG MOUTH intakes installed or not.

Does any one know how to get ahold of Velossa tech design? I placed an order and have been charged but have not been given a tracking number for the shipment nor are they responding to my private messages.

 

[VelossaTech]

hey melody, sorry I wasnt able to get back to you. Your order ships out tomorrow

 

[Turbo65]

How much does this block the radiator?

 

[antarctica24]

Thank you sir for the prompt response, I look forward to getting some air
