SRM "TRUE" High Flow 4.0TT intake system, they found the restriction!

[brad65ford]

We all know of the existing said to be high flow intake systems on the market. Well i'm hear to share what Sean over at Silly Rabbit Motorsports has been working on for his own RS7 as well as other true power seeking guys like myself. If you don't know about SRM give them a look, they do a lot of big turbo upgrades as well as custom fab work. After working with Sean, learning about his shop and their talents/abilities I'm a customer for life. Sean has been working with multiple other performance shops over seas since there is a lot to be learned regarding going big turbo on the 4.0 motors and other restriction aside from fuel and mapping. One of the area's Sean has found to be extremely restrictive as well as very misleading since there are a few intake systems on the market (some that are very pricey) though just do not yield much or even any power increase! This is simply do to not addressing the volume / stock intake tubing at the inlet of the turbo's. Fortunately Sean is one of the most eccentric (in a good way) engineers with access to a 5 axis cnc machine to which he worked his magic. After seeing his work, we knew we were in for a treat with this system. Aside from finding any space where space doesn't exist, the welding/fit and finish would amaze most anyone that has done modifications to cars before. While I will let Sean speak about the details regarding flow/volume data increase there has already been a few guys running these pipes on there rs6's overseas and seeing really RWHP gains that we all should expect from a true high flow intake system. I'm proud to say I glad I waited till there is a system like this out that addresss the main restrictions. Thank you SRM and Sean for creating such a killer intake system for our cars. Guys if you are interested in purchasing I'm not the guy to speak with please contact Sean directly at http://sillyrabbitmotorsport.com/ , I'm unsure if he has sets waiting or in the process of being machined. Enjoy! Best Brad

Any before/after track #s?

[mockedup]

multiple tuners have before and after data, but it will be published by them once their tuning solutions for the larger turbos are ready for release.

[brad65ford]

Regarding my own rs7. I’ve only done dragy prior plan to see if the difference, will get new numbers soon. Honestly expecting a few extra mph. Believe Sean has data on flow difference as well it’s quite impressive

[IowaRS7]

Would be interesting if you could still run an intake like Eventuri with the upgraded SRM piping into the turbo.

[mockedup]

soon ^

In for results

RocE II, the sequel.

I’m in for the ride

Nice- that end-end connection rather than the OEM slip-fit connection to the turbos is definitely key to the larger internal diameter. This is the exact style connection that MRC uses for their carbon fiber inlets also leading to a larger internal diameter, but their ends attach to the rubber hoses that connect to the more typical airboxes, whether it be the RS7 airbox, AWE, or Eventuri. Would be very curious to see any comparative numbers whether it be on the track or on the dyno. Very Roc-Euro-esque.

lets hope its nor 1-2 months lead time like roc euro i gave up on them

[brad65ford]

LOL on the roc euro comment, you guys are funny. What's funny is I almost purchased that kit 2 times but something always stopped me. Believe Sean did a comparison sometime back when he designed this unit, he saw a 3 psi drop (which is extremely impressive) between these two aftermarket kits in question and should be especially when you compared them. Don't forget guys, SRM are using a 5 axis cnc machine to create the intake elbow which is what no one has created and is the big bottle, none of all the other kits are doing this currently.

BTW received some PM here as well as Facebook pm's, thanks guys and congrats to those that ordered their own kits. Regarding lead times, I'm not sure to believe they should be in stock would suggest contacting them directly. Mine I got within a weeks time.

His is a photo comparing the Euro intake versus SRM's psi graph.

I stopped by SRM over the weekend and had Sean install this intake on my EPL stage 1 S6. I don't have any logs or dyno comparisons, but I can definitely feel the power increase with this intake. There is less lag and the car pulls harder. I have had the Roc Euro and RS7 intake and this definitely outperforms those two. Highly recommended upgrade!

That’s what he made and recommended for my car when he made the hybrid turbos. It makes sense to me more than other intakes because you double the diameter of the inlet thus greatly increasing potential airflow.

[NardoRS7]

Can we start a group buy?

[Ze_Nardo6]

While awesome to see others coming to the table with solutions, he is not the first to recognize this restriction

These are the MRC inlets compared to the RS inlets. About 7 of us running these for some time now.

And I totally understand not everyone cares for aesthetics, especially under the hood...but that intake looks very Roc-Euro-ish

[Dasquade]

So does this fit (benefit) stock s6 turbos and s6 airboxes?

Doesn't seem likely

[Dasquade]

Doesn't seem likely

Might be wrong but tought the s and rs turbos shared the same inlet diameter?
Rs airbox fledge is interchangeble aswell i tought so just a mather of making the pipes match lenght and maybe curves.
Question: what are their prices (shipped to Europe + taxes = worth it)?
Never the less, nice if it would work

Dasquade, you might check with MRC (they're in England) to see if they might fabricate similar inlets for your S6 turbos. If I recall correctly, the inlet diameters on the S and RS turbos are slightly different, with RS being a bit larger (I recall placing my old inlets side-by-side with the RS inlets and they had different diameters. The benefit with the MRC inlets (other than that they look cool) is that you could then use the accordion connections to hook up to whatever airbox you wish.

[RSLRS71]

NEED more POWER!!!! help a man out. lol

[DGVR6]

Not sold on it just yet even on RS turbos

Maybe larger turbos than a RS might see something

[MadMaxD]

Curious to see these cut short for universal intake fitment. More flow certainly can't hurt regardless of turbos.

Roughly $1200 w/shipping

[sciblades]

Lol that is ridiculously expensive

Yup

[OlyS6]

Although they are expensive, I recall them being about 700 British pounds, around $800 USD plus shipping.

Exchange rates will vary but the normal price is 750 pounds which currently is about $1075 plus shipping from the UK - either way I personally do not recommend them for a stock turbo car, I saw no demonstrable improvement in my car's track times.

[AnesRS7]

I don’t see them for sale on SRM website ?

Gotta email them or even call. Respond times vary they got back to me the next morning when I emailed.

[Rez90]

In for more info. Still waiting on something concrete.

[Sol Rosenberg]

Props to SRM for finding _the_ restriction on their TRUE intake system.

Paving the way...

[bja72774]

Looks great ! 👍🏽 Wish it was available for an S6.

[OUTTIE_S6]

It is available. $795 plus install. They installed it on my S6 few weeks back, very happy with it.

[jinetics]

Any news on when the rs7 tubes will be coming out on the market?

[Dasquade]

Well i read on instagram that the tubes are compatable with both s and rs turbos (hmm tought inlet size was different :s)

[RAF_S7]

The inlets are different (but your changing them out) The turbo housings are the same, with a different core. At least that’s my understanding.

In theory you could just fit the RS inlets to the stock S6 turbos

[Cam.CL.S7]

How do these seal to the turbo side? Since the OEM ones go in the turbos with o rings.

[DocTJ]

Any new reviews/info on this?
Im debating between this and Roc Euro for my S7.

Also how difficult is the install on the SRM ?

Thanks
