What is the best OTR?

[ImpulseSS]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting an OTR for my VZ SS ute, just wondering what brand etc people can suggest? are there problems rubbing on the bonnet etc.

I'm currently steering towards a VCM Suite Alloy OTR, any suggestions would be appreciated =]

Cheers

Does SS Growler kit work good as good as a ORCAI

DUS makes an otr to suit vz and it look awsum

[ImpulseSS]

I think it depends what sort of setup you want, like if you want a cam in the future + more power etc, i think you need to go a mafless setup with an otr, but side by side a growler intake and maf tune and an mafless otr tune without other mods would be about the same performance wise, but pricewise the maf and growler would be the cheaper option. I could be wrong but thats what i've got from reading on forums.

yeah i definately like the look of the dus, has anyone had problems with cracking with them? I know other fibreglass ones may crack after a while

ive never had a problemwith my DUS ve otr and ive never heard of anyone else having any problems

[ImpulseSS]

thanks mate, much appreciated

[Roonstain]

Yep - go with the DUS - you will not regret it

The only way you will have a problem is if there is installer error - overtightening clamps etc

If you are in canberra, I would suggest coming up to sydney one day and getting it directly from Dus - he will install it, and show you how to do it perfectly - and you will have a good old chat with a good bloke!

There are several hundred DUS OTRs around, and I haven't heard ANY negative feedback from genuine customers - do it mate!

DUS!!! :bow:
So good to deal with and look the business!

[ImpulseSS]

thanks guys, i probably will end up going up to syndey to pick one up, cant beat good old customer service lol. Unless i find a good second hand one. Sammy, i LOVE the look of yours! how much did that set you back?

[conchie]

Very happy with my VCM OTRCAI, good power gain + awesome induction noise.

Thanks mate, $745? from memory which most people this is a bit pricey BUT as you say, it doesnt look half bad AND its a good quality bit of kit. I would buy one again in a heart beat bud.

Another vote for the DUS. Had mine over a year now with the occasional track day. Good looks and performance to match. :)

Ziggy OTR .
May not be the best looking otr on the market but...

Great performance results for a great price.

Re: What is the best OTR?

HAHAHHAHAHA.

each to there own opiononion.

[Cmycv8]

$1600 for the mafless tune and DUS OTR and added 40rwkw and a bucket load of torque.

It's all in the tune.

Ziggy OTR .

to answer the original post ive got a VCM alloy otr, its good shi t but does rub on the bonnet in a few places.

[darthvader]

any otrcai will do the trick, as long as its not the cheap plastic ones that collapse on WOT

i havnt really seen a difference in power between brands, if there is, its so small its not worth worring about

[HDSNAP]

any of the name brands are equally good its all in the tune that you will pick up maximum gains

[darthvader]

i have used the cheap fiberglass ones of ebay, a plastic capa one, and a alloy one, all three different designs, power difference between them = 0

i think it comes down to what looks the best

[ebbett21]

which intake has the best induction sound on the market ? i have a OTR and has very noticeable sucking sound at first startups but quiet when driving

[255-LS1]

any decent OTR (not ebay cheap shit) will do the job. i got my GMM Plastic OTR (the older PT style) cos it was cheap combined with a mafless tune. Really couldn't justify 600-700 bucks on an OTR when this one performs the same. If its a show car a nice polish alloy one or nicely painted DUS would be the go, for all others what ever you can get for a good price. DUS, ZIGGY, GMM RAMJET, VCM Alloy, they will all work.

lin coin you spelt a word wrong.....opinion, well done

[ImpulseSS]

Yeahh thanks for your "opionions" guys haha. When i said "best OTR" i meant functionality wise, looks and not rubbing on the bonnet etc. Some of those duspeeds look awesome, ill probably end up investing in one of those unless i find a decent good second hand one for sale on here or something.

PS. <3 my DUS.

[ittwgn]

hi mate forget the otr just cut a dirty big hole in bonnet just in front of throttlebody works a treat also helps with under bonnet temps :rofl:

[Wonky]

That was my opinion too until a few days ago when I upgraded from DUS Mk 1 OTR on my VE to DUS Mk 2. Back to back dyno runs - car was run with original DUS and had a best of 277.8rwkw, the highest it had ever done (was 275.9 after LS7 cam install). Changed OTRs, did nothing else and ran again - results below. :woohoo:

Nice increase in torque too! :yup: Now, I must point out here that graph is a little misleading. Why? Because with bonnet up we got 281.9, so a gain of just over 4kw. :goodjob: Then as a matter of interest Chev decided to try with the bonnet down and we then got the 283.6. Of course at 8pm we weren't about to put the original OTR back on for a comparative bonnet down run.
