intakes

[Royce]

is it worth it to get an intake for my dmax or you guys think cutting out the air filter box like PPE says is enough? let me know what you guys think:thumb:

S&B, or the Banks with Super Scoop.

I had 1.2 mpg better milage with air-raid than I do now with banks ram air.

[tinman22]

i'm quite satisfied with the s&b i'm running now I had the ppe mod and didnt notice a big improvement with anything other than slightly cooler intake air temperatures

[Royce]

cool thanks a lot guys i heard good things about s&b on dodge but never heard anything about them on dmax thanks, tinman22 thats about all ive seen with the PPE mod actually looks like it dropped my mpg too!!! but what do you guys think about the AEM brute force

[GmcLbz]

Not real familliar with the Brute force, we have had great luck with S+B and their prices are great also. Let me know if we can help.

I am also a fan of the S&B intakes. My truck is still running the S&B LBZ box and filter while making over 820hp and running 11.1s.

I don't like the open filter style intake kits - they should be called hot air intakes IMO.

FWIW Chris (Dr. Holliday) has dynoed over 530hp and run 12.42 on a stock LBZ intake cut out a little behind the headlight. Since we installed an S&B we haven't had a good night at the track (he is in Iraq).

We put Chris's stock LBZ intake and an LBZ mouthpiece on Justin's (ChevyDieselLLY) stock LLY with dual fuelers and he dynoed 590hp/1100 tq on Dunbar's dyno. He has run 12.72 @ 107 within his first few passes at the track.

So IMO the stock LBZ intake with AC Delco filter flows plenty of air for a stock turbo.

hey royce also rember stock airfilters are expensive but s and b aem afe whatever u choose the filters are cleanable and i just use the k and n cleaning kits that u can get from auto zone checkers i think there like 11 bucks and so u dont have to drop alot of money on filters and also on mine i have just the airade box stock everything else it was good for 460 hp i wanna switch to the aem or afe full intake not sure yet on whitch one or hit up john sometime with the white dmax he has the full banks intake with super scoop u can see if u like that setup :thumb:

[Royce]

yeah i talked to john the other day the only thing he said he would recommend is the intake manifolds... but yeah i think im gunna go with the aem heard good things still not sure tho....

[Royce]

This is what I did so I could put it back on so it looks stock for now.

You can also do it this way.

You know, what is weird is, I have the banks intake on mine. I ended up pulling the resonator off the truck cause it was held on at 2 points. The bolt, screw, nub, or whatever you want to call it at the back above the turbo. And the hole in the intake elbow. Since the elbow was replaced in the banks kit, the resonator flopped around, being held on at one spot. So I yanked it off. I didn't have to plug anything. Am I the only one? I see plenty of people with 03's say they had to plug theirs when they replaced the intake. Makes me wonder.(If I'm SPECIAL):h)

s&b... i went with the amzoil/injen intake, freakin pricey. wish i would have just gotten an s&b.

[Royce]

madmaxx pics are HUGE ha ha but what is it that you put on it sorry just wanna try to find it for my truck looks a lot cleaner than what i have!!!):h

[mackthehack]

it's just a jim cap or pipe cap...to cover the opening for the resinator box, which is not needed for anything.
