Guys, I am pretty sure there is info on this somewhere in forum but after 3 hours looking I decided to post and seek help.
I was recently given a high flow air filter but I didn't get the tubes to install it. So my question is, does anybody know where I can buy only the tubes for a '90 240sx (KA engine) without the filter.
Also, I am new to this stuff so, is there a maker that is better than others? If so, what do you guys recommend.
Thanks
Help me find a good shortram intake!!
Re: (neverlift)
Question, are the tubes they sell at the auto part shops already built and formed to fit the model car of would I have to construct it? cus i would rather get one that is ready to put in. I wouldn't know how to create openings or how to deal with hoses and sensors and all that.
And where do I go to sign into the pignose squad, I couldn't find it. That way I could post a pic of my Stock, original everything '90, except for a Flowmaster muffler

Re: (gecko01)
its prob not worth it to buy name brand piping. i have the injen intake and to make it a cold air intake, id have to pay an additional ~$100 for another piece of piping. If you cant make it yourself, then just use your stock piping and swap the box for the filter. You can also buy a cheap intake off of ebay if you still feel you want a better piping. They are fairly cheap and youll get an additional filter. Just make sure they have all the openings for hoses that go on the intake.
no at the parts store they will not be made. to get in on the check in go to the 240sx and silvia forum. here you go zer...ge=16
Re: (neverlift)
i have a injen short ram pipe for sale if your interested $90 + shipping. email me at [email protected]
Re: (neverlift)
because making a home depot intake is sh*t, i think the reason companys make intakes, is because there test and prove results. can you get that from your home depot pvc piping.
yep! but us cheap guys dont have the cash to dyno. When you come pay for the dyno time, I will test your car with both. Your injen sticker wont add that horse power, the reduction in restriction is how they get the power,and a high flow filter that will let dirt and air in more rapidly. I am not saying injen is crap, just that reduction in restriction and higher flowing filter will make more power NO MATTER WHAT. Bet you didn't know that the stock intake is the best hands down ,once you get a bigger box and filter and gut the under side off the box.
Re: (sunnys14)
lol thats just great, if u wanna make your car look like **** with hardware products, why dont we all go ahead and get some dryer hose for an exhaust system lol
Already have dryer hose to flow cool outside air into engine bay,works great. If I was in cali or any other emission state I'd feel different I'm sure. I dont so , a pipe is a pipe. When you can show me that a 100 dollar pipe flows more than a 5 dollar pipe flows with a flow bench, and exact same i.d. and same bends. You would see why. I also feel you support so strongly because you sir paid too much and want to get your money back so you can get an ebay or homedepot intake. lol that also do you own a show car? if not stfu alot of us here don't and show is less important than go. In the end your injen or my ebay will get scratches and be no more than a fn pipe with a filter under the hood not getting shown 89% of the time. And when you do pop the hood everyone is like ohh! pssssh, is that that injen that everyone has?,laugh at you and come to mine and be like you did it yourself.KOOL!
Re: (neverlift)
haha u gotta be kidding me, im selling it cause i no longer own a sohc motor. Do i own a show car? no. but i like to keep stuff looking clean and done right, unlike the looks of your from the picture. how about u prove to me what kind of results for intake makes, cause i have results for mine. so until then STFU!! hahahaneverlift wrote: Already have dryer hose to flow cool outside air into engine bay,works great.

looks like **** maybe but its better than your ****ty injen. like I said you dont even have concept of intakes just keep buying pricey **** boy. I dont see any pics of your car or intake or custom hacked maf. So you should probably stfu. I was just trying to help a fellow nico member out to not waste money on your bs. What a dork repeat what I say again like you came up with an idea to test them. You believe everything a brand name company tells you. You need to think logicaly, two pipes made of same meterial the exact same way will flow the same. duh
Re: (neverlift)
your right i dont have any concept on how things work. lol anyways im tried of fighting with a 12 year old. u have no graphs or anything on your homemade intake. there are plenty of graphs on intake systems. a lot are even tested by people other than the company than makes them. they cost so much because there is design and testing put into them. kinda like u get what u pay for.
I emailed injen fool they have not mailed back yet. I asked just what I said to you. Will 2 pipes the same everything flow the same? When they answer I'll let you know. You are trying to say they wont when they clearly will. btw If you were realy "tried" of discussing that would be okay. But make it seem like I'm fighting you. you'd know from the ***** .I just want the guy to know you can get close to or better performance for way cheaper. So if your realy done stfu.
Re: (neverlift)
h*ll email aem while your at it too. you still have nothing to show me on how well your intake does, how much of a gain to u get? i would guess not alot sense its right there in the middle sucking in hot air. sure a cold air intake has more bends, but 4 bangers will never suck enough air in for that to matter. colder air is better, my friend. and stop saying stfu, you just sound like a tard. your on the internet come on now.
you call names like a child you must be. If you think bend in the path dont slow flow you are a retard. A 2 1/2 pipe at a 90* bend take like triple the distance to get to the same place. Like I said I dont see your car lined up next to mine to show me ****. My intake sits on just one rad hose that has been heat wrapped which made no difference seeing that the air travels faster than it will matter. Your cold air or short ram does the same. Did you even look at my pic, I have on 45* bend that goes where the battery goes, with a tube that draws in fresh air from 10 inches off the ground. My battery tray is gone and I have an origin front that puts alot of air straight to the intake. My short ram is more like a cold ram. I did not say anything negative about a cold air intake. It is the best set up if you can have it short as possible to keep the needed throttle response. I would go put it on a dyno today, if I didnt have so much other stuff done. My support mods would give my intake a few extra ponies so it would not be fair. That and most dyno charts fail to realize the wear and tear the engine has been through. Even injen. They baseline that one car to test and tune the intake, that doesnt help everyone. Look at k&n remaking thier product after all this time. At first all they had for the e was a filter and maf. Also you want me to stop saying it so you can try to take it. . so until then STFU!! hahaha you /\ How bout this anyone with a stock 90 sohc wanna pay for some dyno time,in jacksonville? I'll even give the person a burnt chip with deviouska tune and a socketed ecu to put it in. So that is a chipped and socketed ecu worth about 80 - 100$. I will do the work and use my parts. You will get to keep the ecu and chip,know how much power you have, know what a homemade intake can do, help me show it doesnt need to cost big money to make small gains. I think I'll post this.

Re: (neverlift)
The best FREE mod you can do to your car that will yield better gains than any catback exhaust or intake mod is practice launching.
Cutting down your 60' so you can hole shot good will give you better results than your intake (this is assuming you know how to shift once the car is moving!)

like I told your boy lets line em up *****. I know how to shift but dont believe that a 100 dollar pipe flows more than a 5 dollar pipe. I have way more stuff than an intake ALL were very cheap. I also have a short shifter. ( lets me bark fourth with my woppin 100 whp or less with no fancy clutch or flywheel)My racing seat cost about the most. I didnt want to degrade the boy just tell him a sticker doesnt make power ,more flow does. got it ? He's acting like this boy I know who thought his acura was faster b/c off his name brand parts. I then showed what I had under the hood.(no turbo or nos) I swear he left crying like a *****.
Re: (neverlift)
Whoa Whoa man I wasn't flamin ya, I was just tellin the original poster basically the same thing you were.... his 150 dollar intake isn't going to give him what he may be expecting...neverlift wrote:like I told your boy lets line em up *****.
