Pics of Fujita intake installed on a 2006 Infiniti M35

Sorry, but I would never buy a cold air intake kit for the sound... Waste of money. If there was a power difference felt, then yes. I have a thought for your heat soak. Why not try wrapping the intake pipe in header wrap. Possibly even have it ceramic coated on the outside only.Header wrap could fix the heat soak issues.

I didn't buy it just for sound (I said "i especially")I do see some minor performance, but nothing special...for the sale price it's worth it.

And you said it's cold air, but it doesn't seem cold air....Jason, can you shed light on this? My cold air intake on my previous car (97' Accord) went all the way down to the bottom of the engine bay, to the point you couldn't even see the filter....but in the M, if you remove the plastic engine cover, you can see the filter right there....so I don't think this is a true cold air ey Jason

J, regarding the heating issue, do you have a pic or link as to what you are reffering to?

I'll list a few links so you get the idea of what and why I'm suggesting this:

wouldn't this be useless since the air travels through the filter hole? this is just to cool the pipes to "normal" temperatures.....the critical task is to prevent the heat from entering the pipe in the first place......I wish I had a pic of my intake setup on my Accord to show you what I mean...on my Accord I had a 'true' cold air system since the air would be sucked up from under the car, whereas on the M, the air is being sucked in from the engine bay.

With my previous car, '08 Honda Accord, the Fujita intakes were causing CEL's (Check Engine Light) to show up. Is this the case with the M35?

This CAI is not really a CAI at all. The filter is right in the open area where the engine heat and rad fan can blow hot air onto the filter. I see two issues with this (From personal experience):

1. The hot air is feeding the engine while in stop and go traffic this is a big power decrease.

2. The hot air eventually destabilizes the oil on the cotton guaze filter and allows it to travel into the MAF gumming it up.

and

3. We've already discussed oil based filters and there's an article here that proves OEM paper based will filter better than oil based.

Oil based filters were originally built for off road usage and the amount of particle it allows to pass was acceptable because they typically rebuilt those engines after a race so no big deal, however attention was paid to the placement of these filters to capture as much cold air as possible. What you're looking at here is a WAI.

The dyno graph is showing gains because the filter is brand new in a closed environment with a huge blower blowing cold air directly on the filter. Plus was the dyno calibrated properly prior and after?

Jason B make a design where the filter is mounted outside the engine bay with minimal mods to the body, a heat protected intake tube and the new AEM style dryflow filter and you've won my purchase otherwise I guarantee in stop and go traffic you'll spend more fuel and notice the heat soak in the engine plus you'll be replacing the MAF soon.

Intake is not made nor designed by Jason Burtman. It's a Fujita brand. Jason is a distributor.

The injen intake will drop the filter down in the wheel well. You can then wrap it to insulate it from the heat. The only problem is engine cover puts a lot of pressure on it from the back corner. I just didn't tighten the engine cover all the way down on that side.

My apologies to Jason.

[Jason B]

No problem. Yes, the injen is a full cold air intake and is a better intake than the Fujita, but of course it's more expensive. The true cold air is the best way to isolate the hot air.... We also have for the M45 as well.

Injen for M35:

Yes, the engine cover will fit ontop, just removed it to show system.

As stated above:

This injen is the one I have. I would recommend wrapping it with an insulated wrap. I did mine for less than $30 with parts from Home Depot.

Jason, that looks awesome. I might swap the Fujita I purchased from you for this Injen cold air when my air filter needs cleaning...I figure, if I am going to go through the trouble of taking the filter apart for cleaning, might as well swap the whole damn intake

[Noel J]

That's badass. It looks like your engine has an erectlon.

[jonlex99]

I recently installed my Fujita as well and definetly worth it. However its causing my engine light to come on. Anybody else with this problem?

I had the same problem. I got the Fujita intake install on my M35x for about a month before the SEL came on code p0171, turn out to be a bad MAF. Got fix under warranty after getting ugly with the service guy.. I have mine box in the garage waiting on a used Maf to use with it...

I like it! Can I buy it without the filter? I really want to use the Dryflow from AEM. What's the diameter of the tube that attaches to the filter?

Thanks,M

good luck with your throttle body after installing this. its going to go to s*** soon. $400+ down the drain for the TB alone.

why

[jesustorres85]

after many miles of sucking in more dirt than with the regular filter, the TB goes to s***. it happened to mine after using a k & n air filter for 22k miles. even when i cleaned it with the special cleaning kit everytime i changed my oil it still let in too much dirt and grime. thats why i say good luck.

I have owned other cars with similar aftermarket filters and never had any issues after 20k+ miles

How many miles were on your car altogether when this happened? This is my first time hearing something like this too.

I just thought of something about the location of the filter for the CAI setup. It's in the fender where there's lot's more water and dirt spraying around. AEM even sells the bypass valve in case you drive through more than 2 feet of water. Sorry guys I think I'll still stick with OEM setup and a nice dry OEM air filter.

Jason, is the cold air filter really that low?

[Jason B]

No. You can call injen tech support, and I've personally sold about 30 of these with no issues. Injen does sell a screen to go over the filter, which I can also sell you, but don't think it's really needed.

Hey Jason, are you able to take photos of it installed on a 06+ M35? Filter location specifically.

Thanks,M

[Jason B]

Yep, check our website, and then click "more pictures" when you get to the product page.

Thread back from the dead: Well torres your prediction finally came true. My throttle body went out exactly because of what you said...too much dirt.

[axefire]

I'm really interested in this but I heard that you should also upgrade your output (exhaust) as well to get the full benefit of cold air intake - more air in, more air out - any thoughts?

[tulsadavid]

Are you guys saying the throttle body issues are from a cold air intake system you are using or a drop in K&N air filter?

[Pashdut]

Both. Just stick to OEM in my opinion.

[mexillis]

i have a drop in K&N for over a year and no problems yet....I live in MD and there is a high pollen count, idk if that would affect anything but I clean it regularly without the spray and havent had any problems.
