I just installed an injen cai on my 5spd 2k max. Fit was good except for one thing. On the stock air dam, there is a sensor(Hitachi boost sensor) and I'm wondering what I'm supposed to do with it. It is normally bracketed to the stock air dam but you have to remove that to install the injen. Right now I have cable tied it but it still flops around a bit. I have e-mailed injen but have not heard anything from them. Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions.
Thanks

 

just ziptie it to a cable so it is around the same location as it was before. put the ziptie on the wire right next to the sensor and it wont move around too much.

and before a huge argument is started you might want to admit that the injen isnt a true cai because of the location of the filter. it is a wai (warm air intake) just like the berk, frankencar, stillen, etc. the only true cai is the placeracing one that goes inside the wheel well

 

You get to put it any where you like but dont break it the sensor is over a hundred and it will break where the air tube connects cause the plastic is well 5 years old

 

injen sucked on my car. it sounded absolutely great, but the low-end loss was crazy. i put on a berk intake, and that made a huge diff from the injen. i think the short-ram intakes are way better than the longer ones. you may have a diff experience because of the 3.0 liter.

 

I had an injin on my 98 and it sounded great as well. Did not notice any power loss, it actually felt a little snappy.

 

i didn't know injen made a cai. :0)
and like the others said, zip tie it.

nice looking intake. too bad about the performance though.

 

the reality is none of them do much for ya.....peppy feelings and the like do not equate to faster ETs....but hey it looks good right?

 

i knew this was going to turn into the standard intake argument

 

which you thoroughly enjoy. that's the only reason you gave it a free bump instead of letting it float off the page 2 and into oblivion.

oh you know it's true!

 

True indeed

I have the injen intake and really considering taking it off
Alot of my low end power is gone but my top end well thats a different story..

 

Forget CAI or short ram air, go Forced induction.

 

Uh yeah, because everyone has several grand to spend on parts, knows how to throw on their own SC/TC, AND make it run/can keep it running... lets keep it real here...

 

do you have forced induction? nope
so why dont you do it before you tell others they have to do it.

 

you didn't catch that I was being facetious did you? Didn't think so. I do not have forced induction, nor will I. My statement was made simply to stir things up a little.

 

well i guess it did

 

lol


I would never in a million years go forced induction on my maxima, thought about it for a couple days, but then said "NO". Too much of a hassle, I want a decently powered car (300hp or so) without having to spend a crapload on a SC or turbo. All motor for the maxima.
