Another intake comparison

Hey guys, we have been doing some dyno tuning on a highly modified race RZR XP 900. A little back ground on the motor, 13:1 comp pistons, Web Cams custom grind, big bore throttle bodies, head porting by JSR Performance, JSR undertail exhaust, +1 Valves, Beehive springs, larger injectors, PCV with dual channel Autotune O2 sensors in each head pipe, E85 ethanol, STM rage VIII and O/D secondary, Oh and a completely balanced rotating assembly and removed the counter balancer from the engine. Yes you heard that right we have removed the counter balancer.

Now before I post the dyno sheets remember that all dynos read differently. The dyno in use here is a Dynojet 250 ATV dyno. We compared this setup with a UMP plenum and the JSR Filter system and then the stock plenum and velocity stacks and same filter system, then we compared it to a ported and tuned stock clutched XP900. If you know how to read the dyno sheets look at the power difference between the three dyno runs.

As you will see in the dyno runs the speed difference in clutches. The STM clutch with this combo is netting us 15+ MPH on the dyno. Absolutely rediculous IMO. Post up questions and hate on the numbers if you want but this is real world dyno info that we have experienced.

107 run is with the UMP plenum, 113 is different XP with stock plenum, cams porting, JSR undertail, PCV tuned on dyno. 130 is the Stock plenum on the highly modified engine. I posted the 113 graph from another XP to show the speed difference in the 2 clutches.

One other thing is with the UMP plenum it made a significant amount more torque early on but really gave up a great deal of top end HP. You can see in mid graph where the velocity stacks took over and carried the HP up significantly beyond the UMP plenum.

You know what the intake looks like. LOL it's yours. Only difference is the ump plenum and the stock plenum with the velocity stacks. No pics yet since we haven't finalized the installation on this particular rzr but we will get some soon enough. We are headed to the dunes next weekend for some real world testing and yes the motor responds very quickly. The clutch has such a smooth engagement you don't really feel it though.

I really think that the stock plenum with the velocity stacks are the way to go. From what I have seen it loses too much on top to go to anything different.

Well I had the ump intake ordered since the 1st of Feb. I just emailed and cancelled the order since I still hadn't received it and was charged 529.00 on that day.. Money returned today. So your saying pods like alba are the best? What should I do???

I have not seen first hand any info on using pods. JSR does offer an option that uses the stock plenum with an intake tube and huge K&N filter that is placed in the bed area. Call them and ask them about it. 316-269-4465.

Not sure if I want a hole in the bed if thats what this kit does.. Thanks for the reply.

Here is the standard JSR setup through the bed.

Is it the stock filter media and configuration thats restrictive, or the baffle system in the tube?

The baffle would be easy to eliminate, and still pull from the side vent.

Not sure we haven't done testing to see what is the main restrictive part. Really Need to but it's not an easy task and takes an extraordinary effort to do this testing.

Yes we did. We let the auto tune make the adjustments on the bottom end but there was more fuel required with the UMP Plenum.

Will be interesting to see if you have same results between plenums. Are you going to test with stock then switch to UMP?

I won't be testing the stock plenum, but from alba's tests we kinda know how it does. I do have a good baseline to go from on my fuel controller and wideband sensor, and that is on the complete ump setup. Here's some pics of my setup using the ump plenum. I will try and get out today to test.

No load. Dyno we use does not have eddy current on it.

1.....it changes the fuel demand at any given RPM,thus changes in HP & TORQUE
2.....it shows the advantage or disadvantage of cams hp & torque at certain RPM
3......it,(most important to me) it shows the acceleration curve in real life situation
4..... it will show difference in air demands and results in air cleaners due to the above( You should know this)

5......I would go on,but it would get boring

I understand and agree with what your saying. But intake testing, which i thought is what we were talking about, load really doesnt change anything. Trust me ive tried hundreds of combinations under load. Plus The filter that this gentleman here has, could go on a turbo charged 1000hp v8 and would have enough air flow demand to supply it. I understand air demands, harmonics have alot to do with also.

If you load test the stock intake and then you load test an aftermarket intake that makes 3 hp more. load test or free wheel, the aftermarket intake will still read 3 hp more on both tests.

The filter is plenty large enough.......but the piping & size will kill HP,thus changing the outcome.....if a motor cant get sufficient air,It loses hp.....I'll guarantee you that Alba's two pod filters will pull more air than the tube with big filter AND under a high demand & rpm ,loaded xp motor you will be able to tell the difference when dynoed or real time....just my personal .02 & experience from everything I' ve dynoed & built.....not just xp motors....plus ,why do you think they make load sensitive fuel controllers,if a motor under different loads didn't have demand changes.....same with air....air has to be more than sufficient at all times....sorry,I get carried away,I'm done

I'm running a filter & velocity stack combo that I purposely built for the XP...It has a large custom made K&N filter with outer wear.Its a single filter w/ two holes that mount directly on the aluminum velocity stacks that mount directly to the throttle body.....may produce set-up in the future......Its not made for use in mud & water....sand or dirt only

When I installed my filter setup, I seen gains in my testing over the complete ump intake. I had to throw more weight in the clutch , 2 grams in each weight and it could have used a bit more. But I feel I'm not getting enough air thru the head. Stock head, Alba cams, and 95mm big bore. My air/fuel on the upper end is still pretty rich at 11.0 . I had my clutching dialed when I ran Alba's stage 1 setup, and so far with this setup I've added around 13.5 grams to the clutch, it just keeps wanting more. I am going to a ported head bigger valves and bigger cams. I would like to make the most of it.

I'm a little gun shy now. I started a thread on it, but found brass shavings in my first oil change, but the second oil change showed no shavings. I don't want to trash an expensive head.
