Just recently installed this mod and LOVE it, the sound is great, puts your back into the seat with flawless shifting, or for me at least. my friend doubted me on how much hp is added with this mod tho. im not sure but me and someone else guessed 10-20 more hp? correct me if im wrong, i havent dyno'd it or anything but you can so feel the difference. thanks.

 

... ... ...

 

Here it comes ( I know from experience)--------

 

im lookin for responses not smilies.

 

 

am i missing something? sorry ive only been a member since sept or w/e and i dont have the low down, but it really was a simple question..

 

Fixed.............

 

You probably gained like 4 hp at the most and lost about 6 pounds of torque (what actually matters in performance). BTW, an intake really doesn't have anything to do with shifting.

 

Dyno before and after ...

 

wow thats it? my bro is a mechanic for toyota so i thought he knew what he was talking about, but apparently not. sorry im just learning about all this, was never into cars until i bought this car in august. thanks for the help anyways, apparently everyone else feels the need to laugh. i dont care much, laugh it up im just learning, im sure you all knew everything about intakes since the day you were born right? negative.


AcerX: i know it doesnt have to do with shifting i was just throwing that in there because we fixed my automatic shifting problem yesterday..

 

No but we came here and learned before wasting $ on a useless product ... But to each their own ...

 

 

I didn't know everything about intakes, but I donated $20 and I was able to search. It solved most problems. So quit being cheap, or do some page by page searching. There is PLENTY of intake threads. BTW, be sure to check your turn signal fluid after installing injen products. It sucks all of it up.

 

If you can, return it... Do a GAB for free.

Save most of your low-end, get better top end and save $200-250.

 

you dont even need to donate, you can always google search....it tells you how right in the stickies. In being here over a month you think you wouldve atleast picked up on that. But for the matter at hand.... as a previous owner of the injen WARM air intake, and current (installed last night) of the frankencar with the apexi filter. The injen showed a big loss of low end hp just like most other intakes. although i really didnt see any dropoff with the frankencar... and the high end gains on the FC were alot more noticable than the injen. but in no way will any intake ever give you 10-20 hp. thats why were all laughing. you might see an absolute max of like 8-12 hp on just an intake alone, and thats stretching it. but with the injen you probably have a drop off in low end and maybe a gain of like 5 hp in the high end. now that ive given you a real answer and not just laughed.....go poke around the stickies and FAQ's, do some searches and try and learn something so you dont sound like an idiot.

 

I would rather donate 20 bucks. It pays to keep this website open.

 

Wow..20hp... Italiano.. there is no way you can get that amount of HP with an intake.... but if you add the Maxima.Org stickers to your car..that will be add for sure 20HP to your car.......j/k

 

 

I posted this a year ago, but it shows how warm the air actually is...

I have an injen cai knock off with monsterflow filter, so with my scantool I was monitoring the engine cooling temp and air intake temperature, and as the car was warming up, the ait went to a steady 75*, until the engine cooling temp went up to about 200* and the radiator fan came on, then the ait went up to 95* within a few seconds. The fan shut off and it leveled off and slowly started to drop. Just something I thought I would share. Oh and the temp here is 55* with 82% humidity.

 

well combined with hp and torque its a big difference for my car.. anyways dunno why some of you feel the need to be ****** on this forum, i found it to be a reasonable question and im sorry im not searching 50 pages of results just to see if this question has been asked 2 years ago, you may have that kind of time but i definitely dont. i plan to donate since i browse and ask questions a lot. ill do more research next time but from what i searched i didnt find anything.. thanks to those who were helpful tho.

 

Got proof? ETs, dynos?

 

raced my friends '92 nissan 240 sx and just barely beat him, raced him at night in the same place with the intake installed and whipped the **** out of him. sorry i havent got any hard proof for you, and dont plan to.. i drive the car on a daily basis and can feel the difference. anyways the thread is dead, i got my answer im done.

 

So would you recommend an Injen from your experience then?

 

depends on how much your willing to spend.. id say yes but it was 400 with shipping included from the guy at APG in albany, which is steep if you have different priorities on other mods you prefer. everyones different and has opinions, a couple people said its a waste of money, i dont think it was. i just need to figure out how to install the air bypass valve on the intake before it rains..

 

Sorry, I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you're going to claim that it makes a difference, you need a better test that just "feel". The problem with your "proof" is that its just not a good gauge of how much power you gained. In order for that claim to be credible, we need to assume, at minimum, that both you and your friend drove exactly the same way on both runs and that the conditions were the exactly the same on both runs.

 

i said i was sorry i didnt have hard proof.. i didnt dyno the car before the mod so its kinda pointless to do it now dont you think? if it makes you feel better next time ill just keep those kind of comments to myself unless i have hard evidence.. kinda like when i needed the HID wiring diagram for my 2k2 headlights, in order to get help i needed to post my proof of purchase from paypal.

 

1. $400 plus shipping plus $100 could get you Hotshot headers for a proven 20+ whp.

2. $400 plus shipping could get you a y-pipe and a Frankencar/Berk intake for proven gains of about 15+ whp and several McDonalds combos.

3. I can only assume that you paid $400 for something worth < $100 and derive $300 worth of pleasure from the sound and looks of it.

4. The bypass valve is pretty much useless because the Injen filter is not low enough to suck in any water unless you drive in 2 or more feet of it.

 

maybe you failed to read that part.. i never said i was all about increasing my power, i was just saying the change was unexpected to me, do you always argue this much?

 

It must be good, I mean 400$... You get for what you pay for right? .....

 

Not really, its pretty easy to figure out the average stock baseline and figure it out from there.

That's entirely up to you, but it seems that you're getting a little touchy about this. For the last time, the only reason I SUGGESTED showing proof of purchase for your HIDs was because I knew that people on the .Org would have doubts unless they knew you got it from a legit source. In case you didn't notice, I was merely trying to make things easier for you to get the diagrams.

 

I read every word of it. I was trying to illustrate the options you had with the same amount of money, so that you would take something away from all this.

 

400$ for an intake ... I paid less for a COMPLETE intake set-up.

 

well im just seeing a developing pattern of 'posting evidence'.. but in that instance thanks for the suggestion 2 people helped me out with the 'how to' after i posted the receipt. anyways im not here to argue or make enemies, im done with this topic.

NmexMAX: go take your sarcasm somewhere else, instead of being an online ***** wasting time criticizing others im sure you could be doing something more resourceful with your time.

 

$400!!!!??????

Wow....

 

... ...


My point was taht you should research on here more in depth, and therefore not get by high prices....

You need to be more resourceful with your money

 

Well, there is a lot of hearsay and false information thrown around when it comes to any mod, I know I was guilty of it and also got burned by it, so it just benefits everyone when there is evidence to back up any claim.

Btw, you're welcome...
