i've decided im getting the fujita CAI, ordering it monday =) Again, thanks for the input guys

 

thats scarey... a bit too close to the throttle chamber for my liking...

 

Someone also sells a filter water cover thing to prevent water in the intake. Looks sort of like a beer cozy

 

yes, its called a pre-filter. A few companies use them. they do not give you the same flow, but protect it from more dirt/debris and water getting in. I have one on my dirt bike.

 

I go to PTuning in VA for my ride tuning and during one session walking around the shop I noticed Injen makes a Hydro shield cover for their CAI's which prevent water from going into the filter. Anyway, here's a picture...

 

Anyone got an ID on the Fujita?

 

Why then would you go with the fujita...I too have the nismo as you do and love it, yet you say go with the Fujita...

 

Fujita IMO is a much cleaner look with equal if not slightly better HP gains...

 

But still no ID?

 

If you say so, however to each his own. I dont think anyone has done a comparison on Fujita vs Nismo on stock, so dont think anyone can say slightly more. Nismo says 14hp gains and I know thats not right becuase Ive done bothe stock and nismo dyno and 5-7 hp at best.

 

Got the runfiles for that? Or better yet, an ID on the Fujita?

 

You got an audio clip of the nismo CAI??

 

Is anyone except me running the AEM? I say go with the AEM so atleast me and you can be in the same boat! lolol

The AEM is the same as the Fujita (one Piece) except it is mounted on a lower bolt that is already in place instead of next to where the stock box was. Oh and trhe filter looks slightly different! lol

 

I do not, just to answer your question.

I had the Fujita. I did dyno it. I had 220.3whp and 232.9 tq. The intake was all I had, performance-wise when I dynoed.

From what I had understood, we make a bit over 200 whp so if someone has an SL they can dyno with 17 wheels one it, that might give us a base to run from.
I would recommend the Fujita for a few reasons, but my specific ones are that:
1- If bought from RideTuner, the money supports a 6thgen website. (6thgenmaxima.org) for reference sake.
2. It pours here and I never had an issue with hydrolock. Your car is a car, not a pontoon boat and as long as your remember that, you will be good to go.

3. The looks and sound are out of this world.

4. Your warranty isn't any different than if you went with Nismo. Fujita stands behind their products. I'm not bagging on Nismo, merely noticing that folks are getting them based on this warranty idea.

5. Did I mention that buying from RideTuner supports a 6th gen site? RideTuner has an incredible reputation. Read his feedback.

 

Help me out here, I took my berk intake out and put the OE back in. The car feels faster and the throttle is more responsive. I checked with a mechanic friend and he told me that might be possible. He some computer are set to certain air flow. Any input from the intake Gods?

Thanks

 

Well if you read my statement again, I didn't note the type of Intake, I just stated look wise I think the Fugita looks better, HP wise she puts out as much gain and in SOME cases better gain than all true CAI's (Fujita, Injen, NISMO, AEM, etc.). And 3+ years ago when I installed my Injen I saw a dyno gain of 12 hp, couldn't compare it when I put on the Fujita because I already had Headers, UD Lightweight Pulley, Full catback, and the car had been APEXi tuned). But damn before I went boost, loved the look!!!

 

Which means based on the decreased airflow, your ECU in about 3-5 days (depending on how much you drive) should recalibrate the ECU and you eventually will feel slightly less power...

 

It pretty common to loose some bottom end (take off/launch power) when a CAI is added but it's also pretty common to make it up on the top end...ie highway speeds and when you punch it and the rpms climb above 4k.

I've done lots of back and forth with the Nismo...Stock and Fujita intakes. Stock box with a K&N gave me the best launch but just didn't pack the punch I wanted when traveling on the highway. (Which is what I do most of the time).

As far as I know the only way around this is the Technosquare reflash but even then I'm not sure. I believe Shawndon had the flash and opted to go back to the stock air intake anyway. Also NNMax has talked about a MAF upgrade that I need to investigate.

 

i want something that sounds agressive but not to loud to make my car a rice..i was gonna go with nismo brand but does the fujita one sound better?
