I just ordered a K & N air filter for my MAXIMA +4 HP, next step is the Ooglie CAI. I have to go to home depot tonight to buy supplies. I was thinking of taking out my driver side fog light and running a tube down to that opening. That'll be forced air. Has anyone done this yet??

 

Lotsa people have mentioned it. I don't think anyone has done it.

 

Hehehehe... I mentioned that from the start but no one implemented my idea. Go for it!

 

I hope the streets in your area don't have too many potholes (a.k.a. puddles). The new "Forced Water Induction OOGLIE CAI"

 

Of course he's not going to leave it like that all the time.

 

Jeez...Can't even try to be funny without getting criticized.

 

I knew you were joking around.

 

Thankx for all the replies guys. Luckly I live in CT so I don't have any major flooding in my area. I'll let you guys now what I do.

 

I am the cheapest person on earth, you know where i can get it dirt cheap?
You said the drop in air filter makes a 4+ HP difference?

$48.95...is that cheap enough?

The 4+ HP difference is an average which was arrived at using what we, in the engineering field, like to refer to as "Advanced Combinatronics"...or Advanced Counting...what I'm trying to say is...Don't count on it.

 

got mine for $45 at pep boys......the +4 hp was a magazine number, though I think someone said it was with a maxima that already had an hks exhaust....

 

hmmm...I think u have to let the hose go underneath the car. It cant go thru the front b/c it is blocked by radiator, lower tight bar, and headlamp assembly. Even though u go thru the front, u will have a long hose with a lot of turns, which reduce the air flow and dynamic. But I still cant imagine a cyclops maxima with one fog light =)

check out Empz's OSCAI...he uses a ram air scoope. that gives a bit of improvment.

 

hey you happen to know the part number?
lemme check that site out, roger

 

Pep Boys in Wilmington, DE has them for 39.99, and no sales tax. I would look around a autoparts stores. Or go to the K&N website and do a search on stores in your area that sell them. They will be cheaper than 50+ bucks.

 

The 4 + hp was a Maxima with HKS exhaust on it already. With the stock exhaust of the maxima will it be that much different then an aftermarket exhaust? I think you should be able to get the 4 + out. probably more on the 4 side then the +.

 

Its tough to say....but you should get at least a little gain with the K&N.

 

You just might be able to get 1, and if you are lucky, 2 HP out of a KN air filter. I haven't Dyno'd it or anything, but it is just a replacement air filter, nothing more.

 

33-2031-2 is the K&N part #...the end of the URL I posted.

 

i just got 50 bucks(dami need a job), the K&N filter or order 3 zaino products. THis is like the moment of truth for my broke self.
Roger
appreciate reccomendations

 

get the K & N. You never know when you're gonna need those extra 4 horses.

 

I think the benefit of K&N is not really that 4hp...but the slightly increase in engine response

 

you will feel a gain with the K&N if you do the OSCAI. I took mine off before I went to the dealer yesterday just in case and had it off all today. I felt a pretty big hit in power, especially at highway speeds. I put it back on today.
