JWT POP vs. STILLEN POP

[Soleman20]

I have a 1994 G20t. There is some sort of air sensor imbedded in the side of the stock air box. I want to get a JWT POP charger but I have heard that it has no spot to put the sensor. STILLEN on the other hand, lets you choose between 2 (w/sensor or without sensor).


STILLEN INTAKE +HI FLOW INTAKE, 94-6, G-20 W/SENSOR 94-96

STILLEN INTAKE +HI FLOW INTAKE, 91-4 SER/NX/G-20 91-94


Even though the JWT is a much better price, I don't want to get it and have no place to put the air sensor. Can anyone help??

All you have to do is drill 3 holes in the end plate of the filter. Or just tie-wrap the sensor to the outside of the filter. That is what JWT recommends. It only needs to be near the filter.

My $tillen intake was originally purchased in '94 for my '91 NX2000 w/o sensor. I sold the NX and put the intake on my '96 G20 w/sensor. I purchased a new K&N filter and wanted to attach the sensor to it. Here is what I did:

1. I used the brass plate from the sensor for a template to drill the holes on the chrome end cap of the K&N filter. For aesthetic purposes I mounted the sensor below the K&N logo (see pics)
2. I used a small knife and needle nose pliers and pulled off the rubber from inside the filter so that I could use the original sensor bracket and screws. This makes for a flush fit.
3. Installed the K&N on the $tillen intake and Voila'

My filter has more filter surface at the end and no metal endcap. Regarding tie-wrapping the sensor to the filter surface, aren't you going to get filter oil on the sensor and get false readings as a result?

That makes no difference. It's a marketing ploy.

Not unless you over oiled the filter. And, you don't have to have the sensor touching the filter. It just needs to be near it.

George, what happens if you over oil the filter? Do the engine suck that oil? Does it cause any damage?

Since I couldn't mount the sensor in the end (due to not having a solid endcap to mount it to), I ended up mounting it on the opposite surface on the flat base next to the clamp. It had to remove a couple of layers of gasket off of the sensor but it fit nicely. This is actually very close to the factory mounting loaction so I was able to use the original bracket too for a more finished look.

I couldn't see myself paying all that money for a pop charger so my friends was nice enough to custom make one for me. He drilled a hole for the sensor behind the filter and it works great.
