AEM Performance Strut Bar Upgrades 2015 Sonata or Optima 2.4L & 2.0 Turbo Handling

Jun 29, 2015

AEM Performance Strut Bar for the 2015 Sonata or Optima 2.4L & 2.0 turbo is protected with a resilient gunmetal gray powder coated finish for durability and lasting good looks

Most car or truck enthusiasts picture a cold air intake system when they hear the name AEM. AEM Induction Systems has made great headway and built its reputation on cold air intakes, but since 1987 Advanced Engine Management (AEM) has been in the business of improving performance. More power is only one aspect of the driving equation. Being able to properly control engine power while cornering in the 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima 2.4L NA and 2.0L Turbo is crucial to solving the performance driving formula.

AEM Performance Strut Bar, 29-0012C, is intended to enhance the driving experience, yet fit as if it came installed on the 2015 Sonata or Optima 2.4L & 2.0 turbo from the factory

When a car equipped with a McPherson Strut suspension system, like the 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima 2.4L NA and 2.0L Turbo is being driven through a turn there is inherent flex in the strut towers and chassis. It’s not uncommon to experience as much as 1/8” of shift in the strut towers during hard cornering. This flex can result in unpredictable handling of the car. An effectively designed performance strut bar will transmit the load incurred by shifting weight between the two strut towers and reduce the effects of chassis flex

Unfortunately, many aftermarket strut tower braces have a hinged design and therefore offer little support to the strut towers. An effective performance strut bar, like those from AEM Intakes, must be rigid throughout its length. Additionally, many strut tower braces on the market could interfere with performance upgrades such as a cold air intake system. AEM Induction Systems has designed AEM performance strut bar, part number 29-0012C, to be compatible with AEM cold air or AEM short ram intakes for the 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima 2.4L NA and 2.0L turbo.

The JP Edition 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T was modified with many cosmetic improvements as well as upgrades from AEM Intakes

The JP Edition 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T was modified with many cosmetic improvements as well as performance upgrades from AEM Intakes

An AEM performance strut bar is an excellent bolt on solution for strut tower flex in 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima 2.4L NA and 2.0L turbo models. An AEM performance strut bar is constructed using thin wall mild steel tubing for a good strength to weight ratio. They are built with a rigid design to effectively tie both strut towers together. Best of all, AEM designed the 29-0012C performance strut bar with an AEM cold air intake system in mind. AEM performance strut bar 29-0012C will not interfere with the AEM short ram intake system 21-739C, for 2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.0-liter theta turbo models.

AEM performance strut bar 29-0012C is designed as a bolt on chassis upgrade for the 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima 2.4L NA and 2.0L turbo and includes OE quality hardware as needed. The 29-0012C performance strut bar will work with the factory intake system and is guaranteed to work with an AEM Cold Air Intake System. As with an AEM cold air intake system, AEM performance strut bars are designed to last for the life of your vehicle. Constructed in the U.S.A with high quality mild steel, and protected with a durable gunmetal gray powder coat finish, AEM warrants that its performance strut bar for the 2015 Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima 2.4L NA and 2.0L Turbo will last for the life of your stylish Korean built sedan.

AEM Performance Strut Bar 29-0012C will intensify the driving experience of the following Hyundai and Kia models:

2015 Kia Optima 2.4L
2015 Kia Optima 2.0L
2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L
2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L

2014-2015 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost Turbo Upgrade to Better Performance with AEM Intake

Jun 19, 2015

2014-2015 Ford Fusion 2.0 turbo AEM intake system replaces the factory air ducting and air filter box with an aluminum AEM air intake tube and an open AEM Dryflow^® air filter

Ford EcoBoost technology has managed to squeeze good power and excellent fuel economy out of surprisingly small engines. The 2.0L EcoBoost inline-four cylinder engine is the top performing available engine for 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion models. This small, but fun-to-drive, engine provides a fusion of excellent fuel economy with 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. The Ford 2.0L Ti-VCT I-4 EcoBoost engine can be found in upgraded Fusion models, like the Titanium, and can be further upgraded with the addition of an AEM^® intake system.

2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0-liter EcoBoost models can benefit from an AEM Air Intake

2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0-liter EcoBoost models can be distinguished from 1.5L EcoBoost powered cars by the 2.0 engine’s use of dual exhaust

2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost turbo models can be upgraded to an AEM intake system that replaces the restrictive factory air intake ducting and enclosed air filter box with a free-flowing mandrel bent aluminum AEM air intake tube and a large open element AEM Dryflow® air filter. An AEM intake system, like number 21-743C for 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost turbo models, is able to minimize restriction, straighten airflow, and increase the amount of airflow available to the engine. More air and less restriction means more usable power throughout the engine’s RPM range by reducing the amount of energy needed for the engine and turbocharger to breathe.

More air and less restriction means more usable power throughout the Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost engine using AEM intake

More air and less restriction means more usable power throughout the Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost engine’s RPM range by helping the engine and turbocharger to breathe

The AEM 2014 to 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost turbo air intake has been dyno tested and shown to improve horsepower and torque delivery across the entire RPM range. On the dyno, a stock 2014 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost with all-wheel drive (AWD) made an estimated additional 11 horsepower and a remarkable 15 lb-ft of additional torque at 4,100 RPM when equipped with AEM air intake 21-743C. In addition to increasing horsepower, lowering air intake tract restriction and increasing airflow will help the 2.0 EcoBoost engine’s turbocharger to spool up quicker, in turn improving acceleration, drivability, and giving the Ford Fusion a sportier engine sound.

AEM air intake system 21-743C is an excellent bolt on performance upgrade which includes all the necessary hardware and step by step installation instructions for 2014-2015 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost models. This AEM intake is equipped with a non-oiled conical-shaped AEM Dryflow air filter for high airflow, excellent filtration, and exceptional engine protection. The mandrel bent aluminum cold air intake tube, finished in charcoal gray, and the application specific air filter heat shield are covered in a durable powder coat finish to provide long lasting good looks.

AEM Dryflow synthetic air filters are washable, reusable, and made in the USA to ensure years of engine protection. To provide 2014-2015 Ford Fusion 2.0-liter owners with peace of mind, AEM Induction Systems stands behind its products with a Lifetime Limited Warranty. AEM air intake system 21-743C is designed to boost performance of the following turbocharged Ford Fusion models:

AEM Supports Team Overland and Its Efforts to Help Military Veterans with PTSD

Jun 19, 2015

The design of AEM Dryflow air filters helps save Team Overland time and money on maintenance

The washable and reusable, oil free, design of AEM Dryflow air filters, as well as an integrated air filter service minder, helps save Team Overland time and money on maintenance

Team Overland provides guided overland expeditions to veterans seeking a healthy, natural, outlet to manage the challenges of PTSD

Team Overland provides guided overland expeditions to veterans seeking a healthy, natural, outlet to manage the challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Team Overland, a newly formed nonprofit organization based out of Medford, Oregon, is focused on aiding returning military veterans coping with the challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Team Overland provides guided overland expeditions to veterans seeking a healthy, natural, outlet to manage stress. Matthew Havniear, founder and CEO of Team Overland, knows firsthand what it’s like to return from military combat to civilian life, only to feel disconnected and alone. Matthew served with the 2nd Battalion 7th Marines Fox Company Weapons stationed at the U.S. Marine Corps base in 29 Palms, California. In 2008 he was deployed to Now Zad, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Matthew and his company found themselves in heavy firefights daily during his time in Afghanistan and in 2010 Matthew was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Post-Concussion Syndrome.

Upon his return, Matthew struggled to deal with symptoms brought on by post-traumatic stress and searched for healthy alternatives outside of what was being offered by doctors and clinics. Matthew soon discovered a passion for volunteer work and he decided to combine his passion for nonprofit service work with his love for the outdoors. “We impact veterans’ lives by helping them tackle personal challenges,” said Havniear. “We encourage members to positively manage their stress by providing healthy social environments and implementing activities that improve cognitive skills, inspire team members, and assist with veteran reintegration. On the trail we work as a team to overcome obstacles and reach our destinations.”

Team Overland’s recent adventure consisted of helping a Vetto the 7,500’ summit of Dutchman’s Peak in Oregon’s Siskiyou National Forest

Retired Marine Matthew Havniear, also founder and CEO of Team Overland, knows firsthand what it’s like to return from military combat to civilian life, only to feel disconnected and alone

Leading these overland adventure trips for veterans requires a serious amount of gear, supplies, and even vehicle maintenance to keep the expeditions running smoothly. Matthew Havniear reached out to AEM^® Induction Systems looking for help to properly outfit his 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L V8 which he uses, along with two other vehicles, to lead Team Overland expeditions. It was determined that AEM cold air intake, number 21-8030DC, would serve Matthew and the other team members very well. Besides increasing horsepower, which is needed to help the team’s fully loaded Silverado cross rugged terrain, the rotationally molded enclosed air box and oversized AEM Dryflow^® Air Filter provide the engine with protection even in tough environments. The washable and reusable, oil free, design of AEM Dryflow air filters, as well as the integrated air filter service minder, will help save Matthew time and money on maintenance.

One of Team Overland’s recent adventures in healing consisted of helping a Wounded In Action (WIA) Marine Corps Vet named Jed Morgan to the 7,500’ summit of Dutchman’s Peak fire lookout in Oregon’s Siskiyou National Forest. After high school Jed enlisted in the Marines and found himself assigned to the First Battalion, Seventh Marines stationed out of 29 Palms, California. One day, after three months of foot patrols in the “Brown Zone” of Sangin Province in Afghanistan, Jed and his company came to a rest at the top of a hill. As a 249 SAW gunner, Jed needed to find a position to maximize his effectiveness if the company came under attack. As Jed settled into position a sudden flash of light knocked him on his back and left him with indescribable pain. Jed accidently triggered an improvised explosive device (IED) which took both legs and knees while also severing the ulna nerve in his right arm.

Team Overland has gained national interest, securing sponsorship from many companies, including AEM

After many surgeries Jed Morgan has been fitted with prosthetics and is learning to use them on level ground as well as in all other aspects of daily life

After many surgeries Jed has been fitted with prosthetics and is learning to use them on level ground as well as in all other aspects of daily life. Through therapy he has regained some strength in his right arm, about enough to pick up a pencil, and recovered from a blood clot in his lungs. Like Matthew, Jed hopes to help other amputees once he has regained his own capabilities. Jed has started his own business, Guardian Enterprises in Medford, Oregon, and with his good friend and fellow Marine, they are determined to make it succeed.

Team Overland has quickly gained interest on a national level. While they have been able to secure sponsorship from many generous companies, including AEM Intakes, there is still a lot the organization needs to continue. Team Overland is hopeful that more companies will embrace the team’s goal of healing and help them to continue their adventures.
