11/10ths Racecraft FK8 Intake dyno tests

Thanks to the folks @11/10ths. tl;dw:

(The PRL is the PRL Stage 1 silicone tube; K&N is the drop-in OE filter replacement.)

Where’s the mishimoto? Haha

I was wondering the same thing. Lol

Dave asked local owners to volunteer their intakes when he was putting things together a few months back. If no one volunteered a particular intake, then it wasn't part of the test.

Is the intake the only mod? And what kind of dyno was used for these results?

The dude had a hondata tune with a high flow exhaust cat back from what the video stated

The Eventuri is hard to beat (other than its price). From a design standpoint it does everything right. Sealed air box with a secondary air inlet, MAF sensor sits inside the air box to help shield it from heat and it's made of carbon fiber (stays cool with airflow, light weight, looks nice). The PRL intake that is coming out looks like it will be a great competitor to it. The plastic air box should be great for heat/IATs, their MAF housing is said to be a superior design and the price is fantastic.

I wish they would've done the whole PRL stage 1 with the PRL filter and not just K&N. Either way good intake test.

There isn't a difference between a K&N filter and the PRL filter. Just the color.

Those are good numbers but i cant justified 1500 for a intake. They could get the same numbers with custom tuning and no mods. But thanks for the testing

The blue PRL filter appears to be a private-label version of the greenfilter.com filter. The PRL has greenfilter.com branding molded into the filter's gasket. I have seen both and the PRL and Green do look identical except for filter media colour and do not look like the K&N. As such, the PRL appears to have the advantages that greenfilter claims over the competition (K&N), e.g., low-pressure molding. The thing that the K&N and PRL/Green filters do have in common is that they are both fabric filters, but so is the Eventuri.

That being said, filter efficiency and effectiveness and performance degredation over use are not what this test measured. I have no idea if there is a practical difference between the K&N and the PRL/Green.

so... which intake was on it when it was tuned? this might as well have been done on a bone stock car since zero optimization was done to do as little as fix the maf tables.

worthless video is worthless.

Can't fully agree with you. If it was a custom tune then yea maybe the figures won't be truly accurate but does show a general representation. If the car was just running an OTS tune then it would be a more accurate comparison. Even so there are still a lot of environmental changes that could have changed through the day that would affect numbers as well. So it is really hard to get a true comparison on anything.

I do appreciate this video being put together and am sure many other do as well. If this wasn't done then many will be continuing to ask for it.

Having seen the way the torque tables are setup in the ktuner software for the Stage 1 tune, I don't think this video is worthless at all. On the stage 1 tune at full throttle, the torque tables are no longer a limiting factor at the high end of the powerband because they are set higher than the car is actually able to produce considering the other aspects of the tune (mostly timing) and the physical limitations of the engine.

I also think most would agree that the order of performance that the intake configurations produced is more or less what is to be expected.

@baldheadracing once the PRL high volume intake is released can you possibly get the guys at 11/10ths to run it head to head with the eventuri?
