Why does this cost much more than the Roc Euro or CTS turbo intake?

You should be able to use the kit minus the shield which would need modification for fitment likely.

Why does this cost much more than the Roc Euro or CTS turbo intake?

These are produced in the UK using extremely high quality materials, laser cut bracket, one piece aluminum heatshield with proper seals, utilizes the full factory air ducting, Zircotec coated aluminum piping and heatshield which is highly effective at temperature reduction but quite expensive to do and a motorsports quality non-collapsible, cleanable, extremely high flowing filter. This does drive the cost up beyond competitors, but you do get a very effective and high quality system.

Installed pics?

I will ask for a larger photo if needed as well.

As you can see the filter price, even with ECS, is nearly $100 alone. The Zircotec coating on the aluminum items runs $100+ per kit from what I've been told as I gather the process/coating is costly, however very effective. This obviously isn't the lowest cost setup available and it won't be for every buyer because of this. I am working within Revo's pricing guidelines to bring what to me looks to me like a well built, effective product.

The opening (outlet size) on the stock intake (or AWE/Eurocode/Pipercross/APR) is larger than the inlet on the Roc-Euro or CTS intake. The opening on my AWE and stock filters seem to be about a 1/2" larger than the CTS filter I have.

There are some nice features on the Revo intake in terms of:
*the bracket that secures the intake tube to the engine (the tube runs close to a coolant hard line, so this is a good idea)
*the position of the filter (lower and pointing down away from the headlight ballast)
*the heat shield that mates to the stock inlet
*the heat reducing coating
However, $300 more than a similar competitor that does not have those features is a pretty steep price for secondary features (i.e. none will likely improve performance over Roc-Euro/CTS/USP).

That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Looks like an intake made at Home Depot. Totally heat soaking the intake and allowing water direct access.

Looks ok to me but if I was going to spend that much on an intake (when the Roc Euro and CTS are available for considerably less) I'd get the APR one just for the carbon fiber.

Why not say the same thing about RocEuro intake too while you're at it? At least be fair if you're going by design alone, right?

[DucatiCarm]

Oh 100%. Roc euro is gross. Carbonio takes the cake for me.

The awe one uses really ugly carbon fiber (fat weave) and they didn't weave it straight. Looks like Chinese eBay carbon fiber. And the rubber hose they give you is ugly too.

The Carbonio uses smaller weave carbon, the carbon is laid straight and they give you a carbon fiber tube. Looks very professional and like it was meant to be. Shielded from the heat and water.

That's just my opinion.

The apr intake is more aesthetically pleasing, but I do not think it protects from heat at all. My intake gets very hot almost too hot to touch. Also, the inside of the carbon tube is not smooth at all, and I can't see how that helps air flow.

Well the exterior panels of the intake gets hot. All of them will. What I was implying was there was a box built around the Carbonio and AWE. The rest are in free air. Letting the engine heat soak the filter.

As for the smoothness inside, neither is the awe with the inner ribs of the rubber tube. But essentially that doesn't matter. The amount of suction created by the eaton blower at 14-15psi completely throws that equation out of the water.

Smoothness is key inside the blower, intake manifold and engine. That's where all the jam gets made. Hence why a lot of people get their blowers ported and polished. Check out the svt cobra forums. Very common mod on the factory eaton blowers.

And let's be honest. Both tubes are relatively smooth. It's not like they have 1" waves inside the tube.

And the whole "coating" on the intake tube is a load of crap. The blower is so heat soaked the air temperatures heats up to the temperature of the blower as soon as it enters into it. If you want to truly lower intake temperature. Install the coolant performance system from apr or awe.

Incorrect, coating the pipe will decrease IAT's thats been proven in every platform from Forced induction to NA.

The coating they used is not the correct type, but the proper coating/wrap will help.

I disagree. The air gets cycled in the blower, the only defense to the air in a heat soaked blower is a bigger heat exchanger. Same goes for a turbo using a bigger intercooler.

Trying to lower the temp of air by wrapping an intake pipe or coating it is useless. The temperatures that blowers and turbos operate at are significantly hire than incoming air.

It's like leaving your doors open with the AC on in your home. There is more of a heat source to overcome the AC. Just like in an engine bay. There is so much heat relative to the small amount of air coming in, the small amount of air becomes the same temperatures as the hotter pieces it comes near or in contact with.

Leaving the filter open to the engine bay only makes it worse.

It's not a 10* drop but it will help drop slightly, the colder the air running through intake the better off you are.

I will have to disagree as well! I have had every type of supercharger known to man on my Mustangs and when air is brought in from the outside, it helps to wrap the intake tube (just like wrapping the headers to eliminate heat in the engine compartment). If the intake tube stays cooler, the air being forced/drawn into the intake tube stays cooler. We have seen it too many times on our race cars! While I agree that the air heats up pretty quickly once in the supercharger, having the incoming air "cooler" as it enters the SC helps rather than having super hot air from the very beginning!!

As for the APR intake set-up, I went with the AWE specifically because of its looks! I guess it is down to personal preference. To me...and this is just my opinion...the APR box looks like some kind of free form design that was their way of making the box easier...well....to make!! And the intake tube is just not made well....and that is fact!! The idea is great, but they just did not pull it off! The inside of that thing looks like they didn't care about function...just form. I would not want any of those shards of CF entering my SC/engine...post air filter!! But that is just me.

And on a totally different topic...well, kind of....Keep a look out for a new product from Matt at oCarbon!! Hopefully this will work out (as I won't speak for Matt), but he and I have discussed him making the two plastic supercharger pieces out of Carbon Fiber for us!! With the CF intakes, these should really top off the look of our engine compartments!! I can't wait!!

[SwankPeRFection]

You do realize that the air being heated by the charger will be cycled into the engine at a different temp in direct proportion to the temp it was ingested at, right? Meaning colder intake air is colder after being pressurized by the same difference. Colder air is also denser as well. Ingesting 50 degree air and pushing it through the supercharger into the engine will be cooler than doing the same with 80 degree air. Additionally, RE supposedly has shown that the air under the hood is supposedly cooler when driving at speed because there is a wave of air that flows in through the grille, up and over the engine and out the back of the hood cowl just in front of the windshield. At least this is what they are indicating to people.

Someone just posted an engine bay pic this weekend that had those two prices in carbon, so someone is already making some.

Essentially it's ideal to run a bigger heat exchanger. Those are where your biggest gains come from.

As for the inner part of the apr tube. It may look like there are loose shards of carbon but they are just the matte side of the resin with no shine. Which makes it look like fiber glass sheets are ready to fly into the intake but they won't.

I've done electrical work at a carbon fiber manufacturing facility that make shit for the US and Canadian military, along with a handful of race cars. The back ugly side of carbon is to cut costs. No one sees it.

All in all. APR or AWE are the best on the market.

I'll look out for those carbon supercharger covers. Those would complete the look of the engine bay.

I mentioned in that thread the pictures I used of the intake weren't my actual car just something that popped up on google image as an example. Talk to VADER I think he looked into it

[99ebpsi24]

Hey now don't get confused... You're getting a bargain at $649 "intro price" because $699 is retail. LOL

Hey to each their own I suppose but there is no way in hell I'd ever spend $699 on an intake, good lord that is just ludicrous. I don't care if I'm making millions of $'s a year $699 is ridiculous to pick up such minuscule gains... Anyway I'll stop bitching, good luck selling these.

[VADERS4]

Hey Swank...they are made by Senner Tuning and I believe they are in Germany, but don't hold me to that!!! They are $850 for the pair!! That is why I spoke to Matt about making them! I guess you have to pay to play!!!LOL!! Matt's won't be that expensive (if he decides to produce them.....but I think he will!!!! I hope!!!LOL!!!!)

At least this is what they are indicating to people.

It won't be ingested at a direct proportion, once entered into the supercharger it automatically changes to the temperature of the supercharger. Because not only is he charger pressurizing air, which makes it hotter just to begin with and the engine beneath it is heat soaking it.

Cooling the supercharger cooks the intake temperature. It's that simple. You want cooler temps. Buy a bigger heat exchanger.

Of course you get cooler air as you drive faster. That's goes for any car. Race cars and race bikes don't have cooling fans on the radiator for the sake of weight savings. They rely on the moving air as the vehicle travels faster. They can overheat in the pits if they sit for too long.

Same concept as a heat exchanger. Needs moving air to cool it. Idling in traffic or waiting in line at the drag strip is going to heat soak the heat exchanger, radiator, motor, charger and intake. There is no winning. You need to be moving and you need a larger heat exchanger. Cold air intakes are a gimmick, our cars take air from the front of the car. It doesn't get much colder than that.

Carmen, look at the RocEuro website. They proved lower IAT with the open element, and did it before CTS. You're wrong on this one. Also see the faster quarter mile times here.

We might have ourselves another West in the making.

Anyway, this intake is NOT a cold air intake and shouldn't be marketed as that. Neither is the RE or any other open element intake system for this car. Just like you said, the OEM box setup ingests from the leading edge of the grille for it's pickup. The problem is that while it's fairly efficient, it's not 100% efficient and does have some restrictions in stock form. The APR intake you think is so great isn't much better.

[DucatiCarm]

Carmen, look at the RocEuro website. They proved lower IAT with the open element, and did it before CTS. You're wrong on this one. Also see the faster quarter mile times here.

Did they prove it with the hood open on the dyno and fan blowing right on it Bahahaha

The sensor is before the supercharger. The air gets hotter as it enters into the charger.

Anyways this is silly to argue. An intake has a main purpose to increase flow, look good under the hood and protect it from the elements
