My JLT vs. Airbox testing is complete, results inside.....

Careful Mike, you are teetering on racecar. You may want to buy a DD.

Nah, nothing that has A/C is a racecar!!

Remember, I am still tooling around on 3.31s with stock wheels and tires. Still have my swaybar up front as well.....very much a DD.

The 2013 CJ has 0 to do with a 4.6.
Cable throttle? LOL
Race specific parts? LOL

I saw this set up being tested nearly 2 years ago on a 5.0 "somewhere" by "someone". :coolman: It ran pretty good too, but it's far from "special" and still only 5.0 liters.

I wonder why they don't use the stock air box?:shrug: I heard it's awesome and has a special design to make power at the track over a open filter.:rollseyes

An it was also using a stand alone ecu an has no smog equipment..guess that changes things much different than a regular production 5.0.

yea, i wonder why the continental tire challenge series mandates factory intakes on the boss 302R cars...

...they must not want the cars to come up short on power by running an open element:lol1:

Really, it changes what?

Boss heads?
Boss "style" manifold?
Oval TB?

It's still a 5.0, so the arguement that math proves it doesn't need more air than the stock box is a fail.:nonono:
It's adding more air to a 5.0, but you say it can't use it.:uh oh:

Cable throttle body? Really? This comment is just funny. :lol:

Stand alone ECU and no smog equip? This means what? This means a Cold Air style Intake works now? :shrug:

Your guys have been arguing for weeks that the stock box was a "special" design from Ford, but Ford doesn't even use it. :shrug:

Air Filter on the CJ looks like a steeda unit..Actually the entire kit looks like steeda

 

[AluminatorSnake]

This doesn't look like the 2013 stock box:shrug:

Looks like a huge 140mm MAF, open filter and no shield.

How does a little 5.0 need that much air?

Haha i love the fact they dont even run a shield... they must understand high and low pressure areas once the car is moving:beer:

Or maybe they believe that enclosing the filter and forcing it to draw air in through the factory inlet is a restriction.

Mike.....explain more on moving the filter at the end of the tube. What exactly are you referring to?

I moved the filter as far as I could to the end of the tube. Theory being, if the tube is inside the filter, there will be a wall for the air to flow over. This was suggested to me by Laloosh, I do believe.

I don't know if it did anything, but it is worth a try.

Gotcha. Also, are you running the standard plastic tube, or the carbon fiber tube? Wondering if the carbon fiber MAF housing is as rough. I'm headed to the track tomorrow, and just wanna make sure I have all my bases covered.

Standard plastic tube. If you have a router or Dremel, take a 1/8 inch round-over bit and radius the edge of the JLT. It does clean up your MAF signal, which may or may not lead to extra power.
