I have been using the Weapon R Secret Weapon short ram intake for the past year and loved it. After all the Fujita cold air intake hype I decided to get one and just installed it this past weekend. Comparing the two, the Weapon R is about twice as loud and sounds twice as good! I'm not really impressed with this Fujita cold air intake. It's not as quick to respond as my Weapon R and I can definitely feel a difference in torque. With the Weapon R, my car seemed to take off at around 3,000 rpm's but now with the Fujita its about twice as slow and I can't take off like I used to. I never believed the hype about the Weapon R (http://www.mimousa.com/weapon-r-secret-weapon.htm) performing better than a cold air, but now after having both, I DO! Unless I installed it wrong and there's just not enough air going to the air filter, I don't know. I checked all the connections and everything seems good. It just seems the torque isn't there like there's not enough air getting to the filter like it should. Any suggestions before I switch back to the Weapon R?

 

The short ram still retains low end while the Fujita robs you of low end and helps out a lot at mid-top end

 

hey i just installed my fujita cold air intake on my 07 maxima, but i was wondering how much horsepower it puts out afterwards. Im just wondering what the final specs are.

 

just like what he said... its two TOTALLY DIFFERENT type of intakes... Expect different sounds and performance... personally i would rather have Higher end HP than low end tq... our cars move preety well as it it in the low end catagroy... Just my .02

 

Sound and perception of feel mean nothing without documented change via a dyno or track times...

 

but the weapon r I think has both higher end hp and low end tq, I can really feel the difference. It's much easier to pass someone up with my weapon r than with the fujita. It just takes off like a rocket but with the fujita, i really have to hit the gas in order to get it moving. I probably keep it on another week and switch back to the weapon r.

 

You'r making me re-think the entire WAI over the CAI thing in general though, CAI will generate more power on short tracks where you need a cold air charge vs a hot air charge from the engine bay. In hi-speed tracks where there is enough air moving over the engine you should be ok with the WR.

agree 100%... there is no way in a qtr mile run that a weapon r will put out better numbers than a cai

 

hahah WHATEVER makes you happy man..

 

yeah after driving my car with the fujita, think i'm gonna sell it, so if anyone wants it, send me a pm.

 

before you sell it... take your car to the track... or a dyno and see what it puts down ...

This will solve this question...

Anyone know how much a dyno run would cost ?

 

Don't think I need to. I've had the weapon r on for so long that after putting the fujita, there's a big difference in my opinion. Don't think I need to dyno. I just like the weapon r better. Thanks everyone for your input. So if anyone wants a week old fujita, let me know.

 

So, where are the independent dynos of the 2 intakes on the same car?

 

Kicks. dyno that Weapon R once you get it back on. I know there have been several dynos with the Fujita. I agree, because CAI robbed my take off too but at the same time my mid-high end is a lot stronger than it used to be.

If you could dyno that would be great. (If what you say is true, I'll sell my Nismo CAI and go with the Weapon R)

 

So are you going to dyno it or not???? KICKS26

 

I've had the fujita for a week now and absolutely love the higher tq....

 

Unfortunitely what most people forget about any aftermarket intake is like any bolt up mod, unless you have a T/S reflash of your ECU or an APEXi Super AFC or NEO tuning computer, you will never realize the full potential of a bolt up mod without Dyno Tuning...

 

Give it a few weeks and youll see that it slowly goes away some. Upper rpms feel strong but seems to loose some tq.

 

Anyone here advertising for the 'weapon r'? Just curious.

 

IMO I have yet to see one short ram intake (Weapons-R, Stillen, Berk) out perform an Injen, Nismo, or Fujita CAI

 

I was very torn between the berk and the injen, the injen is way better quality but I loved the sound of the berk. I havent found any dynos of the berk and their website was down for a while so I went ahead with the injen. Im still happy but I wonder what the berks like.

 

My Short RAM (filter on MAF, MAF on TB) outperformed my Stillen.

 

I smell it, especially with that link directly to its US distributor.

 

He's also been awfully quiet since starting this thread.

 

hahah thats funny hahah there is no way it can before better on a dyno...

 

lol, thats funny, believe me I'm no "advertiser" for weapon-r. I just like it better than the fujita. I didn't tell any of you guys to switch. I just noticed a quicker response with the weapon-r then the fujita and thought I'd tell you guys, sooooooooo.......... the haters!

 

What's the cost of the Weapon R???

 

Hey Chernmax how many hp's did you get with your Fujita?

 

Oh a little rage issue here I see. So sensitive over a mere suggestion, makes me a hater?

Good luck with your intake, I really mean it, regardless of which one you sell, ....I mean, install.

 

I paid $230 for it last year off ebay, i'm sure you can get it cheaper now elsewhere

 

hahah haters? dood we asked you to just dyno it before you do anything so that we can solve this problem..

You feel more power because its easy to accerealte from 0-60 VS being at 75 try to go to 110

If you had the fujita u would for sure feel a better difference at a higher RPM

 

LOLZ.......

 

Nmex, do you have a stiffy folder on your computer for avatars. Everyone of them are delectable. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

 

I have had the fujika for about a month now, and I really notice the difference in the high speeds.. LOVE IT
