i live in PA, weather cold during the fall/winter/spring but hot during the summer...

Cold Air or High Flow?

 

I also want to know the benefits of getting a short ram when it's getting hot engine air vs leaving the stock box with it getting cooler air...

 

I live in PA and have an Injen CAI. It's really up to you...I'm pretty sure that high flow/short ram intakes give you a small gain across the entire RPM range, while a cold air gives you a decent gain at higher RPMs. Neither of them are going to give you that much increase in HP, so don't expect much. They will just make your car sound a little meaner. You will also hear that replacing the stock intake will give you a slight loss at lower RPMs, which I believe is true. There are tons of intake threads answering the questions you both just asked...so try searching more.

 

I live in PA also. I've got the Stillen (short ram) intake and it sounds good; well as good as any intake can sound for what it is. The best benefit of the short ram is not worrying about your engine getting thirsty and takin a drink of water through a CAI. All air intakes are overrated, as I dont believe you get a noticeable gain in power. It's in your head from the noise created.
People seem to speak highly of/recommend the intake manifold spacers for our cars which I am doing next as soon as I get the money.

^^^^ thats what im talking about

 

where can i get a stillen high flow intake?

 

I would imagine the Stillen website, or the classifieds on here. Common sense

Why not get a JWT for cheaper from Courtesy Nissan?

Crap, another intake thread......

 

hehehe lol oh wow

 

At least someone is paying attention.

 

ive owned a CAI and a short ram, i recommend the CAI

 

in before they lock this one....

 

I have a berk intake an im happy with it.

 

Short ram here, seems to ping more that it got warmer, i live in PA also, check out the meet on june 29th if you want to show up.

 

One that sucks

 

sweet...an intake thread...first one ever

didnt we have a rule that gave a ban for intake threads

 

Crap.....i missed my chance for a "in before sooner" post......

oh well.....at least I got my IBTL!

 

It consists of all 76.2mm ‘hardware’, with the small exception of the MAF adapter, which is 82mm. After some physical measurements / test fits, it seems as if I will not have to purchase a 76.2mm MAF adapter JUST so everything is the right size. A few couplers later, it will all bolt up, and I won’t have to ‘tune’ the lean’ess’ out of the idle since my PCV will be functional again.

This is how I plan on setting it up: JWT POP / 76.2mm MAF housing / Custom 76.2mm midpipe w/ PCV barb / TB Toss in some couplers & hose clamps also and some ingenuity to secure it down if the JWT bracket doesn’t do the job.

 

I recommend a GAB. Free and easy. Spend another $40 for a K&N panel filter if you wish.

 

I have a 90mm intake bore with a 90mm TB

 

I have a search function on my car... It is great and free!

 

 

I'll have to use that one. I didn't even know we had it.

 

we dont

For that puny 3.3L
