JWT POP charger I think the going price is $130 shipped? Call Ben @ JWT 619-442-0680.

If he says its $150, tell him you heard from a little bird that its $130 shipped! :angel:

If you're looking for a cold air intake I'd suggest HotShot. It's what I use.


BTW, where abouts in NJ? I'm from Kearny.

Yea i was looking at the HS site but it said i needed a smaller battery.


Yea ur close 2 me i live in Nutley

[MDurs]

Which one do u think would work better, is there a major difference between the two?

[b-b00gie]

You dont really need a smaller battery, it depends on where you cut through your engine bay. I have my stock battery, but there where a few 'issues'.


A CAI will get you about 7 or 8 HP @ the wheels. A pop charger will get you about 4 HP @ the wheels.



With the CAI you run a chance of sucking up water through your intake. I have an AEM by pass valve on it, but there's always the risk. Small puddles are nothing to worry about, but if you ever hit a flooded street you're in big trouble.

You should go to the HS,but you will need batery

My car.. HS CAI, stock battery.

I would go with the AEM CAI, it has been proven better for both BHP and torque both (8-12 and 12-15 respectivly).

[b-b00gie]

AEM does not make a CAI for 2000+ models (or any P11 for that matter)


Brand name does not matter either, any brand will produce around the same HP. The gains in CAI's are mainly due to the length of the tube and the air picking up speed as it funnels in. The cold air helps but not as much as the length of the tube.



I think when they first developed the idea they mis-named it because they were under the wrong impression. They should've been called: "Long air intakes"

[slickkedar]

So does that mean that those "short ram" cai dont do shit?

[b-b00gie]

They do if you can manage to get air "rammed" in.


The increase in airflow is what gains HP/torque... thats the concept in turbos. Cooler air is a plus, but flow rate is the winner.

So, what do you think of this product www.turbozet.com a friend of mine has it in his primera, and he is very happy.

[b-b00gie]

Heh.. Dont know what to make of that!

Do any of you know of anyone who actually did have a problem with water going up the intake (and weren't driving through floods)?
