unless heavy modding / turbo adding behind, a huge waste of money

air intakes - one of the biggest cons in the auto industry. I used to work with them ... easy money

+9 WHP from an intake?

i smell something . . .

The gains do seem a bit generous. Can't vouch for the company... just a random find and figured I'd share.

BS....... plus they were using the CVT that=fail on dyno......

[blackteam02]

i have the 3.5 6speed, so it sounds like +9hp is impossible from an intake..

According to DAAN, Intakes are a waste of money. am i reading that right??????

id get the heat shield (only)!

[DAAN.]

Depends on what is happening to the air behind the intake: will it feed a forced induction system / charger; will you have custom ECU to modify specs; will you scan to adjust; will you have more air coming in; will you have exhaust altered to allow more stuff coming out, will you remove cat converter and make exhaust shorter - hence more efficient ?

- Just because a product is aftermarket, does not mean it moves more air into the engine (and increases performance). Even if it does move more air, you would have to have upgraded exhaust ECU etc etc (you can't feed more air in without taking more out). If more isn't coming out ... then more isn't really coming in, so performance is ~0- Even if it does move more air, that does not mean it's colder air (CAI) than on stock intake. Most of these bogus "applications" are feeding air from inside the bay - Even if it moves more / colder air, is the performance really there ... ?

Performance wise - increases are minimal / negligible at best. For a friend, I'd say save your money and let's go for wings instead BUT if I were still in the business I'd tell you get one from me at 10% savings if you also buy a "custom" header setup, ECU from my store better throttle response, amazing sound coming from the engine bay, amazing feel of power compared to stock ...

I miss marketing

1/ thanks for the research 2/ never heard the brand name in modding world [maybe i am asleep]3/ anyone from nico got this one tested?, 9hp isnt bad at allplz let us know

[JDRosenberg07]

When i got my intake i knew the performance gains would be minimal, i got it mostly for the more aggressive sound.

Although i did notice a slight increase in throttle response and slight power increase, though in no way would i claim 9hp. I have Injen btw.

BS....... plus they were using the CVT that=fail on dyno......

Im glad i wasnt the only one to notice that.

Plus the "gains" are the exact same on both the 2.5 and the 3.5

Takeda is a division of Advanced Flow Enginnering. aFe has been in the intake business for 10 years. I was a co-founder of Injen Technology and part of intake manufacturing for 16 years.Take a look at the site takedausa.com so you can see the technical background. Just wanted to let you guys know who Takeda is and understand the testing that is involved with a company that employs 7 engineers.

Get the Fujita and save some money... There may be a slight performance increase but the best part is when you get your oil changed at a quick place they can't try to sell you a new air filter. It's worth the price just to make them a little less annoying... You'll never have to buy a new air filter! Just clean it once a year if it's dirty. Sounds better too!

Start the .

I got my oil changed the other day at walmart (full synthetic 58 bucks) and he asked me "if the air filter is dirty would you like us to replace it". I said i got a warm air intake but thanx bro. Haha f them

I dont think they ever claim it to be at the wheels and I think i watched something in there on there testing and they used mustang dyno = at flywheel.

anyone with more technical knowledge could tell us how that varies and they have a chart from the dyno but i couldnt make any sense of it.

second is dyno sheet

Finally, i got the isolation mount so i could finish the install on this baby.

on a 2.5 this thing sounds awesome.

very quiet when idling and you cant really here it when you rev engine while in neutral.

but when you put a load on it, it is loud.

Install was relatively simple like most of these go, i was surprised to see both metric and imperial parts on this. Being from Canada its fine but in the states i really thought you guys only used the imperial system.

I am super happy with it and when i get someone else with me in the car i will get a sound/video byte going for it.

I definately feel more power coming from it when it hits power RPM band.

[JIBRIL4life]

so i reset the fuel economy today and went for a 140 km drive.

i was getting an average of 7.8 L/100km

today i got 6.9L/100KM as i pulled into the driveway

so with gas say $1.00/liter and the car having 78Liter tank

1130km with 6.91000km with 7.8

So by my calculations i am saving $9 about when i fill up each time.

Thats not bad, not bad at all!

JIBRIL4life, can you snap a picture of the intake for me..I want to see how it looks on our engine bay..

I might get the intake just because they use oil-free filter..so I won't have to worry about the oil getting into the MAF sensor..I know some will say it's a myth..but just for precaution..and it will be easier to clean in the future too..

Btw how much did you buy yours for?

[mcheddadi]

wish it was that simple

[JIBRIL4life]

Do the math Medhi





top 1 is a sound clip i was going around a corner stuck behind a grandma and bottom is your photo

[JIBRIL4life]

Btw how much did you buy yours for?

I think i paid 210$ USD for it + shipping

FYI: i dropped down to 6.6L/100KM at my lowest, thats country raod driving with s turns and city driving and highway driving.

[mcheddadi]

glad it works soo well with you! nissan can forget about a prius fighter and get back to giving us an S16 silvia rwd drift coupe!
