I just installed my Injen cool air intake and there is a noticeable decrease in acceleration. I double checked everything and its all connected properly. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

 

Do you have any other mods installed?

 

no just the Injen Cool Air Intake

 

im sure u just think there a problem... but u can disconnect ur battery for 15min and then let ur ECU reset and then see if theres anyother issues...

that what i had to do when i installed a MOPAR cold air intake on a '09 Challenger at work and then it felt right.

 

I reset the ECU when I installed it. I can try again but there is a definite decrease. Sounds amazing though.

 

hmm... thats odd... hopefully u didnt have debris in the intake pipe... that might do something not so good.

 

please explain the "decrease" you are noticing?

 

x2 with scott

 

Mainly when accelerating even when I floor it there isn't much response it barley picks up at all. If i have a rolling start and floor it though it kicks and revs up but from a stop i have to floor it constantly to get it to move basically.

 

u sure this isnt in your head?

 

that sounds off.... you sure you have the couplers tight?

sounds like you are having a pressure leak that is cosing it to bog down

 

x2. maybe you expected the CAI to add a lot of hp, when in fact it really didnt. so you feel stock, which in turn makes it feel "slow"

 

Im currently resetting the ECU because I had forgotten to connect the wires yesterday and drove with them disconnected I guess VSV does that sound right. Anyways after the first test drive I came back and connected them but never reset the ECU. Ill post back in a few when I test drive it.

 

seems to be doing better thanks all.

 

enjoy!

when you rev it at idle, can you here like a whistle sound?

 

Well from what I understand on a N/A tC with no other mods, an intake does not add any extra power or if it does its very little and only in the high RPMs

 

It does whistle a bit when i press on the gas but it used to do that with the old intake as well.

 

ooo ic ic.

im selling my turbo and getting just a intake... back when i had my fujita it just sounded louder with no whistle, so i hope this will be better

 

It shouldnt get faster or slower. An intake on a tC is just going to look pretty and sound neat.

As far as a pressure leak as mentioned above, there is no pressure to leak. If you removed one coupler all together, all you would get is an intake with no filter on it. The engine is sucking air through the intake, there is no air being forced in.
