Hello Everyone, Welcome to the Mod Shop! Spotlight: AEM Power

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Welcome Everybody to another edition of VizX’s The Mod Shop, I Am VizX coming at you today with something thats a very very important part of your cold air intake. This product is called an air bypass valve. The Air Bypass Valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-lock should the filter of your AEM Cold Air intake somehow gets submerged in water. On most systems, the valve installs along the upper portion of the inlet pipe and shuts down induction at the filter when it becomes submerged, rerouting the air to keep water out and air flowing in.

You can get this bypass for your AEM Intake HERE for between $50.00 – $60.00

Well thats it for the mod shop this week! Keepin it short and sweet for you ya know. I hope you enjoyed your time! Don’t forget about getting your hands on Flytoyz decals for your ride! Spread The Word, Flytoyz is the truth!

Ill see you monday on the automotive corner!

VizX With Some Automotive News, Japanese Tuning Giant Greddy/Trust Declares Bankruptcy!!!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I cant believe this!! One of the largest tuning companies takes a dive!! This is insane, I never thought I would see this company go down.

“The market for aftermarket parts from Japan has been declining for well over five years, due in part to decreased demand both at home and abroad and the rising rates of Chinese knock-offs and other inexpensive (and dubiously built) components.

Today, one of the world’s largest performance parts companies, known as Trust in Japan and Greddy here in the States, declared bankruptcy. According to various reports, Trust is approximately $60 million in debt and, after reporting a serious decline in sales since February 2008 and amassing $43 million in loan payments, filed for bankruptcy in Tokyo District Court.

Trust has been around since 1976, employs almost 200 workers and had been dealing in everything from CARB-legal exhausts to turbo systems when Greddy Performance Products was founded in the U.S. in 1994. There are several firms that will step up to fill the need of enthusiasts, assuming that Trust doesn’t try to reorganize, but with the aftermarket industry down overall, we suspect this won’t be the last time we’ll hear about a large tuner going under.”

 

1 word. WOW!

Ever wonder how to achieve more power and acceleration throughout your RPM’s? Give a nice look under the hood thats easy to install and maintain? Let your motor breathe! 

This is for all of you Ford F-150 owners with the 5.4L engine of the 2005 year(though im sure it will fit 99-07). This is the 57 series FIPK air intake system.

k&n intake

With gains of 15 1/2 HP around 3800RPM’s plus a great look under the hood you cant beat it. The entire kit weighs about 14lbs, and is a very easy install with the proper tools. K&N promise’s a one million mile limited warrantee and replace your vehicle’s restrictive factory air filter along with air intake housing. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your vehicle’s engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The filters that comes with this kit is washable and reusable so this literally is the last air intake system you will ever need!!

K&N also has a wide variety of Oil Filter’s as well, so not only do they look after your motor on the breathing part, but on filtering your oil to deliver the smoothest, cleanest oil you engine needs to run at its best.

Please check out K&N for all their other product’s they offer!

Just as a reminder I still have a decent amount of Flytoyz decals as well if anyone is interested!
