WAs just wondering for those of you who purchased and installed the intake how was it holding up. Anyone with any problems and how is the performanc?

 

I'm aware of one blown MAF adapter with an Injen CAI. I'm not sure if that was on a 2K2, however.

 

You know most of the blown MAFS are from the installer, not the intake. All it takes is a little bang on the MAFS and it will either fail emmediatly or shortly after. You seem to blame the intakes way to much for the MAF sensor failures.

 

I agree. Another .org member said it perfectly, "Treat the MAF like a piece of fine china" and you should be fine. I went very slow during my install, which is a FrankenBerk (sounds cool don't it?) And I've been fine!

 

You are WAY off base here, emax95. Before you dig yourself in any deeper, I'd suggest you go back and review my posts on this subject. I assume you're familiar with how to use the search function.

Your comment is interesting, however. I was actually going to say something about the fact that a MAF sensor failure with an Injen intake shouldn't necessarily be taken as the fault of the intake. But I had already stated my position regarding MAF sensor failures in several previous threads and I didn't feel it was necessary to re-state it here. Apparently I was mistaken.

 

I recall you posting a poll trying to find out which intake caused the most MAFS failures, how come? hmm.. That in my mind made me think that you where blaming the intakes for all the failures. Then once again in this post you came off as if you thought the injen intake busted the MAFS, may I ask why?

You have basicaly beaten this subject to death so I stopped reading your threads on this topic, so excuse me

 

Obviously you'd rather continue your attack than do your homework, emax95. I have no time for such childishness. This conversation is over.

 

A lot of ORG members have beat this INTAKE thing to a pulp ! Enough already . Either get it, or dont ! Dont start complaining either about how its too loud and now you want to sell it ! ... Bunch of cry babies !

If you want a CAI ==== INJEN !

HAI == Frankencar !

Either way yoou'll be happy , inless youre an old fart with sensitive ears !

 

or Berk Tuning.

 

My .02 on the subject is that the MAF sensor is of poor design/quality out of the box. I also feel that you can attribute many of the failures to "improper installation" also. Rememeber that the MAF sensor is a precision instrument and needs to be babied when taken off and put back on.

 

Get the FrankenBerk! Or BerkFranken! Or FrBerkanken! Either way, it's awesome!

 

You missed BerkenCar!

 

Thats what I have, till I get my Apexi Filter ...

 

That's my suspicion as well, MAX2000JP, although Nissan would have you believe otherwise based on their description of the problem in the TSB.

 

Attack? If I recall corectly I nicely pointed out the fact that you seem to blame the filter to often rather then the installer.

Now please tell me how this transformed into a personal attack onto you? If nicely stating my opinion or correcting what I think is wrong is an attack then what is not an attack?

Look back to your "childish" first reply, I recall you putting me down on two occasions for no reason at all. 1: and 2 Both of these remarks from you where "childish" and "rued" and they both came un-provoct

Also I "did my homework" I just read threw about 100 of your post on this subject and I never once saw you say the installer was to blame for the MAFS failure. Of course I still have about another 100 of your MAFS post to go threw.


So now I have to ask you, at what point did I in anyway "attack you" or reply to you in a "child fashion"? I feel as though my second reply to you was very humble of me after your original rued remarks towards me.

 

No comment.

 

 

I love it. Two grown men (presumably) arguing on the internet. Classic. I can see it now...... Each waits quietly reloading the page just waiting for an attack by the other one. Let the war begin.

 

I Don't

 

Well, me neither, but just trying to make light of the situation.

 

Just wanted to know how the 2k2's were doing with the injen CAI. I"m going to order mine next week. Thanks for all the input guys. Didn't want to start any controversy. Just was wondering how those with it were doing thanks to all that responded.

 

Silly people. In order to have a war, there has to be an engagement. If one party refuses to engage, there can be no war.

Now I've said everything I intend to say about this. So I'd suggest that we get back to the topic. If some of you aren't adult enough to do that, I'd recommend that a moderator lock this thread.

 

There isn't a great deal of experience yet with the Injen CAI because it hasn't been around that long. Under the circumstances, Chaser, your inquiry was valid. You didn't do anything wrong in submitting it. And you have nothing to apologize for.

 

So where can i find the the injen CAI for the 2k2 maxima for the lowest price? i recall seeing it for $217 but lost the site.

 

Best price I've seen. $211 + 15 shipping = $226 - not too bad

http://www.adventon.com/acb/showprod...=1456&CatID=21

I'm also getting one in a few weeks for my 2K2.

I concur...plus Adventon is numero uno on the customer service list...great price and great service. However, I'm not sure if the 2K2's are, but the 2K1 intakes are on backorder from Injen. Adventon will not bill you/charge your card until they ship however, so go ahead an order. Tell them you came from Maxima.ORG.

 

Has anyone with a 2K2 (preferably Auto) that installed the Injen done a dyno? The one on their site sucks. They did a 6 speed in 3rd gear (not where the ratio is best - closer 1:1 at 4th I believe).
I wouldn't mind seeing the Auto in 3rd and expect we'tt see higher tourque and HP gains that tne one on their site (which is ****poor)

If anyone as done a dyno (w/o exhaust mods) with the Injen I'd love to see it (Slips would be nice too - but more subjective).

Thanks.

Shaydz

 

On that site I only see CAIs for 01-02 6 speeds. Where's the 2k2 auto?

 

Is there a reason to believe that the CAI would have a problem because of a auto tranmission (does it physically get in the way)?

And I'd really like to see some dyno charts showing the "improvements" if any?

 

Call him, it must be a mis-print online. Notice that he has double-listed the '02 intakes...there are two items listed in each color...he probably just forgot to change the verbiage to "auto."

 

I spoke with George there. He said that Injen said the 6-speed and the Auto Intake is the same. Also there generally a 2 - 5 day waiting period from order till they can get them from Injen. They've tried to get them in advance, but he believes Injen is making them as they go along.

Talk to George if your order and mention maxima.org. Real nice guy and he recognizes the effect this board is having on his business. Looks like some good prices on catbacks too.
Put maxima in search with 200 items to return - full list.

adventon.com was a great find (by myself may i add) =) my intake shipped last friday and i think maxima.org has already produced like 4 intakes and 1 spring order. and george called me to let me know that it shipped out and the thank me for getting him some business i will only order from adventon.com from now on.

 

Can someone explain/compare the installation process of the Injen CAI to let's say, the Frankencar?

 

How about Frankexi will that do
