wat intakes are wai? cause i know that injen, PR, and some others are CAI but i dont know any intakes that are WAI

 

Everything else










Berk, Frankencar, etc

 

wat is the difference in a WAI and CAI? i know that WAI stands for warm air intake and CAI stands for cold air intake. other than that WAI gets more gains than CAI, wat else does WAI good for? and where is that intake placed?

 

What the h*ll is WAI, there are Cold air intakes and Ram air intakes, Ram air intakes I know of are Berk, Weapon-R and Frankencar, CAI will generally give you slightly more HP but it’s more expansive, much harder to install and there’s a high risk of water damaging you engine – water bypass valve solves that problem but you loose the whole point of having CAI ‘cause the valve will decrease your HP.

 

WAI = Ram Air Intake

 

hey drklop from dynos a WAI gives more HP but CAI gives more torque. do ur research

The filter on a WAI is behind the battery in the engine bay, where hydrolocking is impossible (sucking in too much water). Also, a WAI and Ram is not the same since Ram means air is being "rammed" into the intake like the stock setup with the scoop above the radiator.

 

What do you think happens with the WAI?

 

wats so good bout the JWT pop charger? i heard from my friend that its a good brand. but dont see much bout it on the forum here. also does the JWT pop charger fit the WAI and CAI? also wat are a few websites the sells for the best price for a WAI?

 

Please read through the FAQ and Sticky threads. These questions have been asked 100's of times, BUT...

For example:

The JWT filter would bolt up in place...
JWT

...of the K&N I have with my Berk
Berk

 

SE ive read all of the FAQs' on intakes and also the sticky threads and i havnt found 1 thread that tell us wat brand intakes we can choose from if u like u can try and if u can find 1 then ill shut up bout it but like i said i tired lookin for the past 3 hours on intake. but anywayz....i have 2 more Q. which filter is better the JWT, apexi, k&n, or others? or is it all on preference? and the pipin, does it matter which brand pipin we get or no?

those 2 threads slipped my mind i rememberin readin those but not really rememberin them cause im tired thanx tho. also does differnt brand pipin matter or just as long as u have a good filter it doesnt matter bout pipin?

 

Hey, How much does it take to type with correct grammar? The piping does not matter. Buy a Frankencar Intake with an Apexi Filter. I say this because the Apexi will not blow your MAF. It also will last longer than a K&N filter (without maintenance that is),because of its paper element, and it flows better.

 

wat bout the JWT pop charger?

 

What about it?

 

GAB

/thread

 

... I have had JWT-->Franken/JWT hybrid--->Franken GAB--->frnakne stock--->now I have plain old GAB ... no M/P.

 

GAB pwnz!

just finished doing it for a Dragdmax yesterday night....also got the 17 degree mod done a few days ago from a tech too....his car is noticeably quicker than stock I must say

 

Injen is NOT NOT NOT a "cold air intake". The PR/cattman one is the only true CAI for the maxima...well, that and the OSCAI

 

Rida, your name sucks.

 

is there a difference between berk and franken car, the price difference is like 30 dollars, but is there a performance difference. which one would you guys recomend. does one sound better then the other.

 

Those are very strange numbers, as far as I know CAI always gives higher performance increase. Besides, cold air is better for HP increase and long piping is better for torque increase.

 

It's a farkin intake ... minimal gains if any on any account ... Best bet is a GAB/PAB since it's cheap and you don't have to feel when you think about what gains you got and for how much.

 

got some dynos to show us to back that up?

Like Nmexmax already said up top, this debate isn't gonna benefit us much at all since CAI, WAI, etc all have marginal gains on the VQ. We're basically talking a few whp difference here. For those of you who can search, go dig up all the threads where this was argued to the death and you'll see that's its pointless.

 

THE END

 

This might be a little off topic, but I would like to ask anyway

My friend with an RSX Type S has an AEM CAI....before he had an AEM WAI....I asked him why the switch? He said the gains are alot better from CAI....I was like ....then I proceed to rsx forums to find the answer...but couldn't really get one...people on their are saying CAI is the absolute best for any RPM range etc. over WAI....

So my question is, why is it that those RSX boys benefit from CAI in any RPM range while we are over here sayin CAI will benefit low end (longer tubing) but suffocate top end?

 

K20 vs VQ35 We all have different beliefs etc.. but the #'s are out there.

 

Prob due to the design of the engine, I know for a fact that a CAI on a RSX-S w8ill yield +15WHP, as proven by a few tuner magazines on the dyno. The VQ prob has a very efficient intake setup like the catback exhaust, therefore not much can be improved.

 

i wouldnt be talking epacy....so u can take ur statement and shove it up urs.

 

So what are you finally going to decide on rida?

 

i think i am going to go with the WAI since i dont want to drill a hole in my fender well and plus injen is really expensive i might as well go with berk or franken

 

If price is a concern .. do GAB..

 

well price isnt that big of a concern. i just dont want to waste $$ on an injen that isnt even a CAI

 

So what are you saying, you don't want injen b/c it's not CAI?... Does this mean you want CAI? If so, there's only one choice there ... and thers one f/s in the f/s forums..

 

no. what i am saying is that if i did get a CAI i would go for PR but since i dont want to drill a hole in my frender well, im goin to go with WAI
