Here is the picture of it. YK2SE emailed it to me.. if you go on my homepage ,, you can check it out... Here is the link. The picture of the 4th Gen intake is there too.......


INJEN CAI !!! PICTURES !

 

how much is it?

 

It's somewhere close to 300.00

 

Wow that is a sweet intake. No drilling or cutting required right?
I think the list price is $280. Thats pretty expensive but it looks great.

Yup. I like it, but I'll pass on this one, Im happy with the Frankencar.....If I run into a C.A.R.B. ticket, then I would get it !

 

Wonder what it sounds like....

 

A member of this board made something like that. Forgot what his username was.

 

It doesn't appear to be that difficult to make, Kev. I spoke to an engineer at Injen and he said the filter mounts in front of the transmission. He said it requires a "small" cone filter to fit properly, but he didn't give me any details as to how "small" the filter is.

I'm still thinking I might take a run over to Injen and check it out for myself . . .

 

Ok. His name is JDERRY3 .. here is the picture of it.. He was trying to get some of us to test it, but, its been over 5 days, and I havent heard from him..... If the Injen is feeding right behind the fan, like the design shows... then NO thanks ! We are back to the same thing !...... Here is the PIC of JDERRY's intake !

 

that intake looks nice but have they got a bypass on it to keep the water from flowing into the engine that is my concern other than that it would be installed on my car asap

 

Yup, it's not too difficult. I'm assuming they're using something similar to the PR CAI K&N filter (either RU-2820 or RU-2020).

 

That is really nice looking. Would it yield any greater output than the Frakencar Intake? Is there any drilling/cutting necessary?

 

radiator hose is right there next to the downward portion of the "CAI."

Still seems like there will be hydrolock potential.

I guess I should develop my system since it sucks air from driver side headlamp + fenderwell opening below the fuse box, w/ no chance of water ingestion, unless you try to deep 6 it.

For reference:

 

Frankencar has a new heatshield....

 

why didnt place racing or wsp think of that design - lol - possibility that they tried it but the drilled fenderwell way gives more gains?

 

Kloggy what is that C.A.R.B ticket? You said you might get it with FrankenCar intake?

I am just wondering.

Thanks.

 

Three words: AEM Bypass Valve

For more info, see:

http://www.aempower.com/induction.htm

And disregard AEM's admonition that their Air Bypass Valve is for use on AEM Cold Air Systems only. The tech I spoke to at Injen said that it would work fine on an Injen CAI.

FWIW, I would never install a CAI without a bypass valve . . . other than the OSCAI, of course.

 

If you get pulled over in California, and they pop your hood, a ROGUE cop could impound you , because the Frankencar does not have a C.A.R.B. approval number, therefore you are not "street legal"... its some BS California technicality, but it can happen, or you can just get a fix it ticket.... The Injen CAI, is up for a CARB approval, so if they actually get the approval, I would conssider getting it... to avoid a problem...

 

I would never trust "foam and rubber" to filter the air ingested in my own engine, hopefully the INJEN is supported below, otherwise you'll snap your BPV.

 

Are they ready kloogy?

 

Would an intake with a heat shield just be a big cone in the engine bay, with something metal around it so that it only sucks in air from the grill?

And is there any chance of an intake with a heat shield sucking in water (more of a chance than stock)?

 

I'm not sure I'm following you, Chimp. The air filter looks to be a K&N-type to me. Even if I'm wrong, you could always replace the filter with a K&N. And how would ingesting air into an engine snap a BPV? Or perhaps you're just being funny. That must be it . . .

 

referring to bypassvalve(BPV)

Follow it, now ?

 

how exactly does that bypass valve work? and how will it snap?

 

2 things...

1) Since it's such a long pipe, is there any chance of having any losses of HP at lower speeds (more force required to induct air)?

2) Dyno charts yet? I'd like to see how it compares to the PR CAI and the Frankencar.

 

Yeah, I think so. I've seen the bypass valve demonstrated. It's completely closed during normal engine operation. It opens when a sufficient vacuum exists in the intake to force it open. That happens only when the air filter is completely submerged. If that event ever actually takes place, I don't think I'll be too concerned about whether air entering the engine via the valve is filtered. I'll be too busy trying to save my a$$. Know what I mean?

 

Like y2kse explained, casing is plastic w/ rubber flaps, and foam surround. When water clogs the filter or anything prevents air from reaching the TB, rubber flaps "fold" so air comes through the BPV, filtered by the foam. If you see INJEN's design, it isn't supported too well after the MAF, where the BPV will have to be used, w/ engine torque and lower pipe flex, over time, the BPV will fail in supporting the lower pipe to the MAF. At least w/ Hondas, there is "softmounts" which Nissan CAI's don't have.

Funny thing is, I've never had a situation when I had to drive through water that was more than 3" deep, unless any LI, NY was at DPA when I decided to splash through a puddle for fun.

 

Agreed, Chimp Dj. Unless one makes a totally idiotic decision, the chances of completely submerging the air filter on a CAI are remote. Unfortunately, people . . . even smart people . . . are capable of making idiotic decisions from time to time. Many years ago, my wife made one in a VW Rabbit we used to own. She decided to drive it through some pretty deep standing water. What neither of us knew was that the air inlet on the Rabbit was low enough to become completely submerged. The net result was hydrolock. When the dealership tore the Rabbit's engine apart to repair it, they gave me one of the bent rods. I kept it for quite awhile to remind me of just how little water compresses!
