No dude. The reason I keep on asking if he bought it for a 2008 coupe or a 2007 sedan is because I kept reading in other threads that they bought an intake for a 2007 and put it into their coupes because the engine is the same and it fits or some mess like that. I was just trying to get to the final answer if it was pruchased for a 2007 or a 2008 coupe.generic808 wrote:I guess some people ask the same questions over and over without reading the actual thread.

They make a different one for the 2.5, this one is for a 3.5.

Thanks a lot dude. I have to get me one.SHIFT_COUPE wrote:Its made for both....
Thanks....I'm gettin' me one of these bad boys.generic808 wrote:Intakes will usually help fuel economy IF you drive normally. Most people will start driving more aggressively with the addition of an intake because it sounds much better.

Both brands essentially do the same thing. The Injen does include a heatshield which tipped the scale for me because the Fujita does not.seekinsp wrote:

1. Injen or Fujita, which one is better?
2. How often do you have to replace the end filter?
Cheers!
I keep repeating myself here Importroller has a Fujita prototype WAI on his 07 3.5 and according to his dyno test he went from 233whp to 245.6 whp. So unless Injen messed something up bigtime you're getting 12whp not a measly 5-7! Of course this was from a 6-speed, not sure what the CVT is gonna get.generic808 wrote:I did notice a better throttle response and the RPM's seemed to jump much quicker. A short ram intake will usually give a 5-7HP boost. I'd say that's about right.
i had the same problem with my fujita intake. but i called up fujita and they said it should not be making any contact whatsoever. anyways, what youre going to want to do is loosen the clamps on the throttle body and the vibration mount and try to push the filter and intake downwards just enough to where it is not creating pressure against the battery or resting too much on the wiring. i was experiencing the same vibration around 1200rpms but after readjusting the intake the sound and vibration is gone. you will notice how much cleaner the intake sounds after the vibrations are cleared away. good luck.seekinsp wrote:So I received the Injen and installed it last night (couldn't wait for daylight). Installed the whole thing in 45 mins, but ended up messing with the end filter and heat shield assembly for a couple of hours....blasted shield kept slipping off even when it was syched as tight as possible (without breaking the clip). Anyhow, finally I got it seated in somewhat of a comfortable position. Interestingly enough on the A/C 2.5, the intake to filter seems longer than the initial pics posted in this thread (I believe that this was for a 3.5). So my intake is in there pretty damn tight and butts up against the battery compartment and a wiring harness. Any concerns here? They sent me the right part for the 2.5 (SP1974P) so I am assuming that the fit is expected to be tight?
All in all I am pretty happy with the resulting sound and boost in throttle response. My only outstanding concern is that I get what I can only describe as a 'grumble' and vibration on the accelerator from stationary to about 2K RPM. Has anybody else experienced this? I am wondering if I just need to wait for the intake to bed in before this goes away. Could also be that the heat shield is causing some kind of vibration due to the tight fit.
Any comments would be appreciated. Cheers!
Thanks guys. I am going to try and adjust this today. Also, I'll try to post some pics as I don't believe any have been posted for the 2.5 yet and it is definately a tighter fit than the 3.5 (due to a seemingly longer intake). Stabilization arm is in a different position too.heysteve wrote:

OK, finally got her adjusted. I ended up sliding the filter/shield assembly all the way up the intake arm as far as it would go. I now have about 1" clearance around the heat shield. I have taken some pics and will post them once I have figured out how to.seekinsp wrote:

A short-ram isn't only intended for turbo applications. Any increase in air volume whether it be cold, warm, or hot will have its benefits. The engine bay is so crammed that a CAI won't fit. Well, at least not in the 3.5, but not too sure about the 2.5.johnnner wrote:Hey great add to your car. I know the feeling of installing your own parts onto your car and know that you didnt pay money to do something as simple as a intake. Was wondering if the short ram is working well for you because i heard short rams are "meant" for turboed cars. I know they work for n/a cars but yea was wondering if you get the same performance as a cold air. Just added hyper white(look real blue) conversion kit to my car and just finished spray painting my 07 Altima 2.5s rims gun metal. I have a silver car. Keep me posted on your cars performance.
That's pretty much BS. The gain from an intake will depend on two things- one, how good was the intake you replaced, and two, how much power is the engine making.The stock intake on the Altim is pretty restrictive, and the 3.5 makes substantial power, so the 10 or 12 hp gain that is shown by most dyno tests seems to be reasonable. Bigger gains than that have been shown on cars making more power, like Corvettes. And the gains show up on the track, too, so they are NOT just bench racing claims. Exhaust gains may not be as much, since you can't do anything about the cats. On the other hand, of you could replace the ENTIRE exhaust, including the headers and cats, a gain of 30 hp would not be out of reach.generic808 wrote:Manufacturer claims and real world results are two very different things. It's one thing to get 12 WHP on a dyno in a controlled environment, but you're NOT going to see that in the real world. Like I've said earlier in this thread, a short-ram will realistically give you maybe 5-7 HP. The only "bolt-on" mod I can see giving you that much power is a header. Even the best exhaust out there will not give you 12 at the wheels.
Most stock intakes are restictive so theres no surprise there. In this case its no different. I have both the Injen intake system and Borla Exhaust and i have minimal gains. From being a modifier over the years i have noticed that intakes and exhaust's together commonly only make 6-8 whp without a tune. That dyno chart that did that test also says that the 3.5SE is only putting down 200whp. Now do you really think that dyno is correct after its reading 200whp out of a 270 crank hp car? No car loses 70hp in the transmission that dyno isOrmand wrote:That's pretty much BS.
