Re: Stock Engine vs. CAI Install Data, Anyone Interested?

I think that you would find great interest in your data, me being one of them. There has been great anectdotal information but no what I would call "hard" data.

You would exhibit great patience in doing such data collection. For me, to be as complete as possible, you would have to do the data collection with 89, 91 and 93 octane. And, you would have to run the tank nearly dry before changing octane to satisfy the skeptics. Then, install the TRD CAI and repeat. Its a big job but I would be very grateful in know the "truth" behind the advantages. If I only had access to a dyno (and the funds to pay for multiple passes), I would take this on also.

Good luck and have fun with your research...
I agree, It's going to be time consuming, but I would like some hard data on what the actual gain in performance is. As I stated, I will be doing it with the different grades, 87, 89, 93 Octane. There is a lot of Forum members that have the CAI installed on their FJ’s, but I have yet to see any data on the gains. I have seen statements saying that is sounds throatier and better response, but I myself, would like to see exactly what the difference is.
