The AEM performance intake system for 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 2.5L V6 & 2014-2015 Lexus IS350 3.5L V6 models replaces restrictive factory components with precision engineered parts from AEM

Lexus was first introduced in 1989 as the luxury oriented division of the Toyota Motor Corporation. Lexus models, such as the 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 or 2014-2015 Lexus IS350, have followed the progression of Lexus’ competitors as performance oriented luxury sedans. 2014-2015 Lexus IS models are designed to compete with other cars such as the BMW 5-series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. As such, many 2014-2015 Lexus IS luxury performance sedan owners are interested in more than just touch-screen navigation, but also enjoy the rush of acceleration and the growl emitted by a performance-oriented engine. This is precisely why AEM Induction Systems has developed a performance air intake system for 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 2.5L V6 & 2014-2015 Lexus IS350 3.5L V6 models.

2014-2015 Lexus IS250 & IS350 models are luxury performance sedans designed to compete with other cars such as the BMW 5-series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class

AEM Induction Systems has over two decades of improving performance and increasing horsepower in everything from a small displacement naturally aspirated Honda Civic to a turbo diesel Cummins powered Dodge Ram pickup. Although there are a lot of differences between gasoline burning 4-cylinder engines and turbocharged diesels, the same principles of how to increase horsepower apply. The goal of an aftermarket air intake system, whether it’s an AEM short ram air intake or an AEM cold air intake, is to increase power by reducing air intake restriction and turbulence. Another important factory in increasing horsepower is to maintain inlet air temperature (IAT) at or near ambient air temps. Because cooler air is denser, this can result in more efficient combustion.

The AEM 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 2.5L V6 & 2014-2015 Lexus IS350 3.5L V6 air intake system includes an application specific air filter heat shield which reuses the factory cold air duct

The AEM performance intake system for 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 2.5L V6 & 2014-2015 Lexus IS350 3.5L V6 models accomplishes all these goals by replacing restrictive factory components with new precision engineered parts from AEM. The AEM air intake system for 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 & Lexus IS350 models utilizes a mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube to direct large amounts of laminar airflow into the Lexus V6 engine. At the end of the charcoal gray powder coated air intake tube is a washable AEM Dryflow® air filter designed to increase airflow, provide exceptional filtration, and long service intervals with the use of AEM’s synthetic dry air filter technology.

Adding the finishing touch to the AEM 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 2.5L V6 & 2014-2015 Lexus IS350 3.5L V6 air intake system is an application specific air filter heat shield which utilizes the factory cold air duct for improved performance through the introduction of cooler airflow. In-house dyno testing showed that the combination of elements used in the AEM cold air intake for 2014-2015 Lexus IS250 & Lexus IS350 models made an estimated additional 7 horsepower and 6 lb-ft of torque at the wheels of a 2015 Lexus IS250 automatic. Similar, or perhaps better, results can be expected when installing this air intake on a 2014-2015 Lexus IS350 with a 3.5L V6.

When JP was approached by Hyundai to build another vehicle for its 2015 SEMA Show booth he was given a choice and decided to do something a little different with a 2016 Hyundai Tucson turbo

Probably the most obvious adventure addition to the JP Tucson Adventuremobile is a Treeline Tamarack roof-top tent, with room for two, and Goal Zero solar panels to power all of their accessories

For nearly fifteen years John Pangilinan, or JP for short, has been serious about custom vehicles and entering them into car shows. His background in the world of automotive aftermarket performance, action sports, photography, and design all contribute to his unique approach to vehicle customization. JP has completed five builds for the Hyundai Motor America Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show booth. When JP was approached by Hyundai to build another vehicle for its 2015 booth he was given a choice of vehicles. However, John decided to do something a little different and build a custom 2016 Hyundai Tucson crossover SUV with a turbocharged 1.6-liter "Gamma" four-cylinder engine as opposed to his more customary sport compact builds.

John Pangilinan dubbed the 2016 Hyundai Tucson turbo build the Adventuremobile. John intended the Adventuremobile build to blend Hyundai's new crossover platform with a passion for the great outdoors making it perfect for a weekend getaway. Hyundai Motor America's press release described the Adventuremobile as at home on the daily commute or lugging gear up into the mountains for a weekend out of town. "Designed with the weekend adventurer in mind, the Tucson was the perfect platform for an ‘Adventuremobile,'" said John Pangilinan. "The build blends performance with the excitement of the great outdoors, without sacrificing daily usability. The vehicle promotes exploration, making it ideal for the daily commute, weekend excursions, and the occasional road trip."

JP looked to AEM Induction Systems to give the 2016 SEMA Show Hyundai Tucson Adventuremobile a power boost with an AEM upgraded air intake system and charge pipe kit

Probably the most obvious adventure addition is a Treeline Tamarack roof-top tent, with ample room to sleep two campers, and Goal Zero solar panels to power all of their accessories. Additionally, the exterior has been beefed up with an Aries bull bar and side steps, Rigid Industries LED lights, and a BASF army green paint scheme by Strasse Sport. A custom 1.5" suspension lift provides increased ground clearance, and Toyo Open Country A/T II tires with RAYS Gram Lights 57DR wheels provide the extra grip needed for the occasional off-road excursion. JP said he wanted to build the Adventuremobile with attainability in mind and to inspire potential Hyundai Tucson buyers.

JP looked to AEM Induction Systems to give the 2016 SEMA Show Hyundai Tucson Adventuremobile a power boost with an upgraded AEM air intake system and charge pipe kit. The engine inhales with an AEM Dryflow air filter and exhales more freely through a Magnaflow exhaust system. "AEM adds to the sound, and you can hear it over stock," said John Pangilinan. He continued, "The sound keeps the AEM intake in the back of your mind without being annoying. It gives you confidence knowing you have extra power on tap as well as reduced turbo lag, and better acceleration."

The JP Edition 2016 Hyundai Tucson Adventuremobile was revealed at Hyundai's SEMA press conference on November 3, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. PT, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Detailed modifications for this build are listed below.
