Oolatec, you and i both know i could take my car into a dyno, run it, copy my data log, run it again a few more times and the differences in each pull will be around that number spread you have there. all you need to do is pick the best and worse and line them up, i could make the same picture by spending half an hour at the dyno and not change a thing to my ride. And with you being the biggest advocate/marketer of the R2C here i don't trust your sharing all the information you got in an unbiased contex.. meaning cars don't hit the same numbers every pull, there are many many factors that can alter HP and torque in every pull... and its very likely you have another dyno log with your R2C doing worse than the Fujita. your picture is worthless to my eggs....

now.. i will say, going from a CAI to a SRI should yeild better numbers, like i said before, less tubing= less friction= better performance.

is fujita a CAI?

WOW, I'm speechless. This is a great guy and he is simply presenting his evidence to people. Why are you so condescending? I apologized for the thread I created but this is the reason I get so heated twentyeggs.

lol dude me and Ooletec got history (we scrapped a bit about the effectiveness of a timing advance few months back).. why are you playing peace keeper over a beginning debate?? im just debating an opposing view, you are getting angry at the very reason we have a forum... am i not allowed to disagree with anyone now for fear someone will start another hate thread about me?? why are you getting so "heated" over this? there's no harm done here man, just a simple debate, ooletec gives his side of things, i give mine, we argue, one of us learns something, one of us concedes, or we both agree to disagree..... the short story of every forum, every thread, every post..... i think your the one that needs to calm down and take a chill pill.. i've done nothing wrong here...

and you started that thread because you don't like me, and you wanted to get a bunch of people to gang up on me and ridicule me and hopefully bully me off the forum, yet after all of that, you can turn around and say im wrong and being condescending???? no one is being condescending here, im doing what people do on a forum.. like many said in YOUR thread against me, you are just trying to paint a target on my back, giving me too much unneeded attention, and hoping to get people to cosign that fact that YOU don't like me and for what? seriously, what is your motive here?

you need to relax man, its not that serious...

I was there myself. I don't work for R2c if that's what you're implying.

Both intakes had a minimum of 5 runs done. Of course the best numbers for both were posted. And the R2c at its worst was never out-gunned by the Fujita. Not in any of the runs.

And the less tubing/less friction thing doesn't always hold water. The long tube Stillen Gen 3 intakes for the G37 yield the best gains out of all the other intakes... SRI included. Your claim right there proves you don't know much.

It's funny though... everything you've stated should pretty much prove to yourself that the +2 timing advance does absolutely nothing. That is, if you believe what you are saying.

ah ha!! nooo you wanna know why the long tubing for the gen 3 works? because back then there was math involved where companies like stillen actually used a formula where engine displacement and the volume of the intake tube were taken into account for the best flow..

the problem is. its a very exact number that is needed, very expensive to research, and trying to make an intake that fits, with that exact size volume in every car on the road costs too much, they stopped doing it because it wasn't cost effective, and knew people would keep buying their expensive tubes regardless.

so your right, the friction thing doesn't hold water when lined up against the little formula they found, but from my knowledge, they stopped doing that back when i was driving my 4th gen maxima 7 years ago.

i know a little more than you think..

Ok, its official. I am selling my R2c.

WHY?

My personal pros: Sounds great! Looks great under the hood!

My personal cons: When you step on it, gas mileage goes down! Performance is same as stock.

CONCLUSION: It sounds normal when driving as a normal driver. Gas consumption is same as stock when driving as a normal driver. Step on it, you hear a nice growl and sounds like fun, but personally, same performance as stock. With premium gas and stock intake, my car has always performed great! So, my conlusion on R2c intake is just for the sound.

If anybody wants a R2c intake, PM me. $250 shipped. Its still basically brand new. Let me know.

110% yes. More power means more gas. It's like people that get exhaust and then complain because it has drone or too loud.

You guys make me laugh. I moved from a 4cylinder Camry to this for power and for sure knew the gas would take a dip with more power and more speed. I have done my PERSONAL review and based on my pros and cons, I have decided at this time that the best way is to stay stock. I can always go back, if I want. All what is needed is money and I can always save for that as we all do. So, take it that I am just changing mods.

I am in no big rush to sell this, but I wish to sell it for sure.

Besides, I have other projects too. Today, I am paying $900, for my set of new tires (255/40/19 Yokoham Advan S4 to replace stock 245/40/19 Goodyear) that I am having my local discount tire order and will install later this month.

Petit.... go to a Nissan dealership, ask to speak to their master mechanic, and every mechanic you can find if your intake will increase your MPG (gas mileage).

when you have your answer, stop selling your intake and leave it where it is.

your gas mileage is dropping because you have no self control and you keep stepping on it.

it is a proven fact, that intake systems improve on gas mileage.... so much so that after a handful of fill ups they pay for themselves. your car is losing fuel economy because you keep wanting to hear that "growl" now if you selling it because you can't trust yourself, then thats a diff story, that sad.. but you do what you gotta do

So you're complaining when you step on it, your gas mileage goes down? Well duh. Of course! Even with a stock setup, the same holds true.

Performance is same as stock? You went to the dyno? You should post up the results...

Guys, its just a mod. Money would buy me another one. I just need to save again, and I am sure I would have enough money to buy it again, if I wanted.

Oolatec, I haven't dynoed it and personally, I don't think me as an end would do one. My own dyno experience is DAILY DRIVIVING with my driving style in mixed situations. Not the car tied up, hood open and fan blowing cold air all over its face.

The problem with the results of the dyno charts is that those tests are done with the hood open and a cool fan blowing cold air into the engine compartment. And then, you do more than one run and chose the best. That's not real life driving. Plus, the fan blowing cold air, to an open hood of a stationary car makes me want to say the dyno results of a CAI and a SRI are all from cold air. Hence, during dyno I think both CAI and SRI can even be looked at as cold air intakes. Also, because of the controlled environment and the fan blowing to the SRI in an open engine, the SRI gets a good amount of cold air rich air than a CAI gets normally due to its position in the wheel-well, not the hot air during my normal driving under this Texas hot sun, with a closed hood with super heated air under the hood from the super hot engine. I don't know if you see what I am saying.

And I must mention that after sitting at a redlight at an intersection, the car feels a little weak than stock at take off when light finally turns green. This is a true personal experience. But sure at freeway speed, when I step on it to hear that growl, I go! But stock is very close to the way it performs. Major difference is the nice growl.

That being said, HMAX, I will text you buddy. I am getting my new tires put on in 2 weeks. Cost me a lot. Discount tire ordered them and I would go in 2 weeks to have them put on. Then I wish to buy my own Alien rotors for all 4 tires. I just bought my thermoquiet wagners and they are just sitting at home. I need a blow-job now! Oh, sorry! I mean I need a brake job now. And I would love to put my new brakes on same day I put brand new tires. Let me see if that works out for me. Talking about spending about $1200 for all these. So, I wouldn't regret selling my R2c, if a buyer comes along. But maybe my frank review might scare somebody, lol.

Guys R2c is awesome!!! So, don't you doubt the intake. But I am selling based on my review (no major gain, just the super awesome sound!) and also because common guys, I can always buy a new one again if I want to. Just need to plan again.

................ i am seriously at a loss for words

this is how i feel right now: :matt93se:

whatever dude, go ahead and think what you must, its your car your money and your happiness... but if i were you, i'd trust what the other members on here say instead of what you think makes sense. especially when we are all saying the same thing. Hell even me and Raz agreed lol!!

I have to agree with the majority of the members here.

i'd keep the intake and enjoy it. How much more fuel did you notice you were consuming when compared to the stock ?

Yesterday, I took my R2c intake off and installed stock intake back. So, my R2c intake is ready for whoever wants it at a great price.

In the battle of R2c vs Stock, stock wins.

I tried to like it, but it wasn't exactly what I was hoping to get out of it. We all have personal tastes and reasons for modding and de-modding. Just like people who buy rims and sell them or buy other mods that are more expensive than this and then change them again. All for different reasons, especially since it is one's car and one's money. Anyone can do as they please with their car and their money. So, this is up for sale and basically new for someone who would love this. And I would give it at a good price.

Oh, my stock is better. I filled up last night with premium, of course and had to test stock on my way out this morning. Take-off is better than R2c. From 60 to 80, seems R2c is faster (not too sure, though), but from 80 to 120, I couldn't help but smile at my Max! It still got it. It doesn't need the intake for now. Maybe someday I would buy an intake again. Besides, it is affordable so I don't even see the problem. Its not like this cost like some mods on people's cars.

What I need now is to receive my rotors from alien rotors and figure out when to install, for 120mph to 0 (complete stop) is not too safe now with my current used-up brake pads. Also need to stop by discount tires to see if my tires are here.

I will be patiently waiting for a buyer. I will clean and polish the intake and store it in its box. Waiting for a buyer...

Finally put on my new tires today; Yokohama Advan S4 255/40/19. I had to wait for them since they were special order. Car rides very smooth and tires are quiet too. I wish I had the racingline strut bar, I would have gone to some twity roads to see about cornering grip. But I need my alien rotors first before I push it hard. Car handles 100mph like if it was 65mph.

Congrats, those are some pretty nice tires. You should definitely get the Racingline FSTB. It improves the handling by a good amount.

You are right. I have heard a lot of good things about it and it is something that you FEEL when you do the mod. So, I am doing my best to see if I can save the money to make the purchase. I have just spent almost $1500 now for car stuffs.

Well, as of now the sale of my R2c would probably help me get the racingline front strut bar. Oh, and I have the KCMaxx RSB. I am trying to buy a second RSB so I can have 2 RSB! Then with the racingline front strut bar, I am sure I would really enjoy it.

Twentyeggs, let me know when you get yours. What did you get? Black polished or chrome? Post pics of it before you install it and pics after intall.

Definitely man. The FSTB isn't really all that expensive IMO and plus, it's worth it. Don't know what improvements that the KCMaxx RSB gives but the progress rear sway bar is another good addition. Just a suggestion.

Im very happy with my R2C. Got some major torque and flows with my Nismo exhaust. Has very deep roar. My Fujita can't touch this highly recommended.

Very nice man. Always liked the short rams. Might just pick myself up one once I finish up on some repairs that I've been procrastinating about. After that, it's on.
