Possibly

 

i heard it's better than than original.

 

FWIW it hasn't been designed yet. They will only make it for the Mazda3 if it turns out to make more power than the CAS.

 

How is the V2 CAI different from the "original"?

 

Not sure.

 

i heard they can't because of the MAF sensor or something.. i could be wrong.

 

I heard they are interested in seeing if they can make one that will make more power than the CAS. They said they will contact me to use my car again if they decide to move ahead with development.

 

the v2 uses different pipe widths throughout the intake so that it is able to produce multiple air vibration frequencies enabling maximum power through all rpms.

 

personally it sounds like a load of crap to me.. the best technique is the simplest: the widest piping possible, sucking air from the coldest spot possible (where the engine warms it up the least), from a spot where it can suck the most air possible, with the least restrictive filter and the least bends in the pipe possible. Aside from that, there's nothing else to an intake.

this is partially true...but your car can only suck in so much air before it is restirked...things that factor into this is TB, intake mani, cams, cam gear settings, size of the exhaust, etc...for the most part colder air is best and will help make the most power, but if you throw a set of ITB's on a car they car sucking in very warm are and still make alot more power then the CAI...it is all about how you get the air into the motor that really counts, the more air you can get into the motor as effectively as possible is what matters most, not always cool air....

correct!!!!!!!!

Helmholtz formula for intakes/exhausts
http://forums.s2ki.com/search/threadview/174084/

Intakes/exhausts are not just a pipe. If you just design them as a pipe, your missing out on a massive amount of gains. Its actually possible to utilize the various strokes of a piston engine to create areas of back pressure which literarly SUCKS the exhaust out of the exhaust stroke, greatly reducing the amount of work an engine has to do in the last stroke.

The same goes for intakes...if you design one perfectly (V2 is sorta of an example) you can use the reverberations of sound to accelerate the air charge, increasing its velocity.

If your confused...think of a tuning fork. Get the right frequency and you can shatter glass with sound. Sound is an incredibly powerful force that is often ignored.

The proof would be in the dyno results.

 

i just sent in a request to coximport.com if they are going to make a V2 CIA.. ill get a reply in about 2-3 days..

 

In all likelyhood if a V2 is made it will be announced here, by me or an actual AEM employee well before coximport.com knows about it.
