My current intake on my 96 max is injen CAI, but i really want to do the half and half intake. I was wondering where a good place for iat sensor to go? I dont want to zip tie it, wheres is a good place it to bolt it to something? thanks everyone!!!

in your intake piping

/thread

 

check out where this member jsutter put his sensor

 

How about on the maf adapter? Yes or No?

 

It really does not matter. Its not going to affect anything either way.

 

Injen CAI?

You'll be so happy when you step on the gas after you've got rid of that piece of crap. Worst intake you could possible put on a 4th gen.

 

Why do u say that for? What kind do you have njmaxseltd?

 

on all my sentras I let iat hang, but if its important to you just buy a stillen filter they have a place for it.

 

whats the part # for that filter u are talking about?

 

Ill have to look it up to see if they still sale them. if Im not mistaken they worked for all the nissan intakes

 

If you could look that up for me that would be a great help. Thanks!!

 

the stillen filter in question is in the pic i posted

 

Look where the filter sits for an injen, still sucks hot air. True cold air on a 4th gen you drill a hole in the body and stick intake piping in the front left wheel well

 

He explained it to me, that is why it is coming off this week.

 

to be honest that iat sensor wont do anything if you let it hang

 

ok

 

O ok... Just use the half part f it and you should be fine

 

There are miles and miles of threads on this including dyno results comparing true CAI with what we used to call WAI's back in the day. I believe GTR_Rider had some posted at one time, but that was around 2004 or so.

Anyways, they both came out almost identical in numbers. We determined back then that the shorter Warm Air Intakes like the one posted above didn't work as hard to get the air from the filter to the throttle body whereas the CAI's were having to work harder to move the colder air from further away.

The CAI's had one or two more pound foot of torque, where the WAI's came out about 1 or 2 more horses. It was really insignificant.

What we definitely know is that you are MUCH more likely to suck water with a CAI if you ever find yourself on flooded streets. I shouldn't have to explain how bad that is.

As for the IAT, just get a step bit, and pop a small hole in the back side of the upper tube that you have, re-use your grommet, and pop it in there. That's what I did on my 4th gen back in the day.

BTW, if anyone cares, I preferred the growl of the WAI over the CAI. You all know what I mean.

97-99 sensor just pushes in. The 95-96 is screwed in.

Here is how I mounted it in my old 96.

 

What kind of filter is that?

 

a red one

 

Just get you a Cattman and be done with it. It's old school, but we loved em.

 

APC Intimidater in ricey red.

 

Are they interchangeable? Like can I run a '97-'99 sensor on my '96? That push in type would be nice

 

idk but i would try that.

 

You'd need the pigtail and splice it in.

 

Thanks tips lol but you didn't catch exactly what I was saying. i wasn't the one askin the uestion i was summerizing and mentioning that injens Cai is not actually cai and therefore you might as well use short ram. he cold air i was talking about is like place racing.

he place racing sits inside the fender in a "box". behind the plastic splash guard in front of the front left wheel so its covered from water, it's also like a foot above the bottom fender. Meanwhile the injen sits naked between the fans and the engine

 

Will do when the time comes. Thanks.

 

Tell me when you do that, tell me how it goes chrisman287

 

It won't be for some time.

 

Its alright, I gonna try to do the half and half intake this weekend, so no hurry. Just do my ait for now.

 

I belive that the cheap ebay intakes even have a hole for it, i got the ebay CAI in my car and on the underside of the peice that is infront of the TB, there is a small whole with a gromet. I poped my IAT in there and just laced it with some clear sillione to seal it.
