New Product RE-RELEASE! JBR TRU - 3.0 and 3.5” Wide Path Intake Systems!!

[JBR]

Details:
The New JBR TRU-3.0 & 3.5” Wide Path Full Intake Systems are the only True 3” intake systems that extend from the MAF housing all the way to the transition at the turbo. Currently, all one piece metal intakes that are available from our competitors are 2.87” or 3.37"and all the other aluminum intakes that include a separate billet MAF housing start out at 3” but then quickly neck down to 2.87”. Our one piece design eliminates the need for unnecessary couplers and the joining of multiple sections that increase turbulence and friction which ultimately leads to reduced airflow. The thick, 5-ply, wire reinforced high temperature silicone construction is far superior at insulating the intake air from extreme engine temperatures. This translates in to lower boost air temperatures and more horsepower that no other aluminum intake can accomplish.



Every TRU-3.0 & 3.5" MAF housing has been machined from 6061-T6 to tolerances of +/-.001 and include a factory style air straightener for the most accurate signal to the MAF sensor. The air straightener is integrated in to the wall of the housing eliminating any reduction in ID like those that use honeycomb straighteners. There’s also no way for the straighener to come loose and be sucked in to the turbo like those that use pressed in blades. Our MAF housings are the lightest in the industry weighing in at only 9.1-9.8oz. The lighter housing significantly reduces heat soak, sheds heat quicker which lowers intake temperatures creating more power. Each MAF housing is beautifully anodized for a smooth, long lasting finish resistant to corrosion, even when subjected to the harshest environmental conditions.







All Tru Wide Path Intakes now include a 3.25” or 3.75” Dry-Flow air filter. JBR Dry Flow air filters flow 200% more air than the factory filter while providing superior engine protection. It uses both depth loading, capable of removing extremely fine particles (down to < 0.1 micron), and structural screen wire to enhance airflow capabilities. This design results in a performance air filter capable of increasing horsepower and torque! The three-dimensional synthetic filtering medium is washable and requires no oiling for years of trouble free service.



The Wide Path Full Intake system is designed to be run in recirc mode but, includes a plug for easy conversion to non-recir mode.

Includes:

• Tru-3.0 or 3.5 Silicone Intake System and Billet Aluminum (3.0” ID or 3.5”) MAF Housing
• Stainless T-Bolt Clamps
• Plug to run in non-recirc mode
• 3.25 or 3.75 Dry-Flow Filter (Washable uses No Oil)
• Installation instructions are available in our support section
• Shipping is free in the US & our Hassle Free Lifetime Warranty is included

Perfect timing, I was looking into upgrading to a 3" intake today. I'll be picking up one of these soon! Good stuff Jamie!

[xliquidx]

Out of interest, is the old wide path maf housing made of the same material?

[Josegarcia020]

You guys never cease to amaze!!

[KCi]

Still no love for GT turbo 3" inlet. Please make one!

[yourname2221]

I believe this is what I was sent just recently since I had waited for a redesign. Looks awesome, is there any improvement in fitment around the battery/ecu?

3" requires the outer ecu cover to be removed. 3.5" needs a battery box.

No. Like other big intakes currently available it was made out of either 2.87" ID or 3.37" ID aluminum tube. They are now machined out of billet aluminum and have a an actual 3" or 3.5" ID from the inlet of the MAF and it continues all the way to the transition at the turbo.

That's great to hear Alex. Worked for 7 more months to get these perfect. Thanks for working so closely with us on them.

I'm excited to buy this. @Lex; I'll be purchasing a top up map once I get this and an EBCS installed.

[[R]usty]

Ordered! Can't wait to install!

[igve2shtz]

Son of a b&#^@. I just ordered a WP 3" from RPM yesterday. Never even saw this was offered.

[JBR]

The MAF calibration for the New JBR TRU 3" intake can now be found here.


@igve2shtz; You WILL be receiving this new TRU intake. RPM has not updated their site yet.

I was going to ask you if you got this done. You were running the new intake @ Mid-Ohio on Monday, right? I forgot about that until now!

Jamie can truly say that this product, along with everything else on his car was track tested, as he did a great job @ Mid-Ohio on Monday. Even got to work with Mazda Factory Driver and SpeedSource P2 Driver Tom Long..........Spec MIata is on the horizon!

[King Scumbag]

I like that you grooved the MAF housing on the ends. Was having a battle with keeping the filter on the older MAF housing for a while.

[Dimenus]

@jbarone;

What size is the inlet on the new Tru 3.5 WP?

Would love to get this intake for my upcoming BNR

[JBR]

Originally Posted by Dimenus @jbarone; What size is the inlet on the new Tru 3.5 WP? Would love to get this intake for my upcoming BNR

It fits the new BNR, @Mike@Stratified; has confirmed that it fits. It's tight but it does fit.

[King Scumbag]

For what it's worth I've instqlled the previous 3.5 silicone WP on the new BNR as well with minimal problems.

[Cevaes_64]

I have always had JBR intakes, TOP NOTCH PARTS, when i went BNR i went HTP... and have had a leak since then where the intake meets the turbo IDK if i received the wrong coupler but it fits... i love the one piece intakes, i ordered a new and stronger coupler from ebay if that doesnt solve it, i will be selling my HTP and getting this.

[Atomic41]

Must I change my CPE CAI to this ... or the gain will be minimal ...

CAI vs Shortram ... CAI doesn't have the advantage over a shortram system ???
@jbarone;

[GARRETHEXTREME]

No it doesn't have any advantage. Go with any SRI, it's better hands down.

The silicon is different as well.

Yeah, asked a 3rd party to place the order for me, so I contacted them to place the order directly on the JBR site when they will get to that, so it's fixed.
And yes, according to the JBR site these intakes can be paired with GT turbos. Looks like I will finally move to a 3" intake, and I'll try to hack the CS air box to make all work together

Why not move to a 3.5"?

[sidekick]

Is the new MAF housing compatible with the previous silicone 3" intakes? And is there any reason to upgrade? I take it there is not any huge difference, but this one sure looks nice.

[mituc]

1. Requires a battery box for a smaller battery. The long and relatively harsh winters here and the relatively short trips would kill a <50Ah battery in no time;
2. The ECU needs to be relocated/shifted. This is a 100% failure at the visual inspections done during the smog tests

This is also the reason why I have a CAI box (among others), and I will try to hack the hell out of it and make it fit somehow, as is now or using a different filter (shape/dimension) for the intake. They don't care what I have in that intake box: it may be a panel filter, a cone filter, a squirrel.
Of course I can find "understanding" people for a "small attention", if you understand what I mean, but there are also crews doing random inspections on the road and those can't be convinced. So I don't want to risk having my car towed to some scrap yard 300 miles away from home in the middle of a vacation just because I wanted to cruise around at legal speeds with a whale penis intake.

If it wasn't all this I would have gotten a 3+" intake a long time ago.

Yes, there is a pretty significant difference if you look at the MAF cals. The previous WP intakes are 2.87" ID and the new ones are true 3". Also, speaking of the ones advertised as 3" intakes, the Tru3" and the 3"WP, the newer one maxes out at almost 500g/s while the 3" WP is at 430g/s. That's almost 15%.
However, I'm not sure how much of a difference this would make in real life. Once you move from a stockish intake to a 3", true 3" or 2.85-2.87 the approximately 0.2" difference in diameter is huge and makes the differential pressure drop quite a bit, helping the turbo to make the same boost spooling slower this having a significant effect on the BATs.

No, the new 3" will not fit the precious WP silicone.

And yes, we're seeing a noticeable difference in performance and with the tuning too.


@mituc; well put.

-Jamie

[mituc]

I bit the bullet and ordered. I can't wait to see the differences as well as what I need to fabricate to pair this with the CS air box. I have a feeling that everything is going to be great on the intake side (less the airbox hacking which may need a new top and has nothing to do with the quality of the actual parts).

Will the 3" fit the BNR S3v2 or just the 3.5" @jbarone;?

bonus season is near

Thanks

[xliquidx]

I can't imagine true 3.5" versus the old 3.37 or whatever it was would make a lot of difference for smaller turbos like the bnr as it will run out of puff. Maybe high fueling e85 guys will benefit but is there really that much more flow available from the bnr?

[igve2shtz]

Post #20 above from jbarone states that the Tru intakes will fit the BNR.

As he says, "It fits the new BNR, @Mike@Stratified; has confirmed that it fits. It's tight but it does fit"

Either the 3" or the 3.5" will fit, but you must order the OEM Turbo Inlet option (~2.25"). The BNR turbo inlet is about 2.5" so it just has to be stretched. The 3" or 3.5" option only refers to the size of the MAF housing.

[Code Monkey]

Can't see it on the webpage but I assume that the new intakes (just like the old ones) come with a "mounting clamp" that we are supposed to secure to the stock mounting location on the side of the engine? This will not work on the MS6 with a BNR as the BNR is a bit wider than the k04 and pushes the intake out toward the driver side -- as pictured here, I used the mounting clamp on the filter and zip tied the intake to the bottom of the fuse box. This works but I cannot run a bigger filter, I used to run an AEM 7" dryflow, now it is no go.

[JBR]

The MAF calibration of the TRU 3.5" intake has been added HERE.

Thanks for all the orders for these new intakes as well. They have flown off the shelves and we're back to making more. Only a few left.

-Jamie

[Atomic41]

My mechanic guy said i waste my money to change my cpe cai to the full 3" intake because my stock turbo can't take more air that he do right now and my cpe cai is already giving way to much ... for the K04

What you think about this ???

[Atomic41]

So let's go 3.5" with a small battery box ... or it's overkill for my little K04 ?

[JBR]

A lot of guys go with the 3.5 on the k04. We sell a lot of them for the stock turbo, not over kill.

[[R]usty]

My new intake was just delivered to my front door. Can't wait to get home!
