Re: intake

the short ram is shorter.. and can pull in warmer air...the cold air sucks in through a colderpart ofthe engine bay

If you're gonna do the SR swap, just take the air box off on your KA.. prop it open or something, that usualy turns a few heads! =D

What about putting on a new exhaust system for my car now? It should still work for sr20det. I wanna give my car some sound right now.

Re: intake

IF YOUR GETTING AN EXHUAST AND PLAN ON GOING SR GET A 3" EXHUAST.

WWW.OPTIONIMPORTS.COM HAS SOME CHEAP, HIGH-QUALITY EXHUASTS. THE MEGAN RACING 3" CAT-BACK AND DOWN PIPE IS WHAT I USE ON MY RB20DET SWAPPED 240SX.

Re: intake

I Can't Even Tell There Is An Exhuast On My Rb20det Powered Car W/ The Silencer Off And All. Performance Was A Big Gain Over The Stock Ka Piping. It Probably Added 20+hp To My Rb20det When I Get The Full Exhuast Kit On There It Will Probably Be Way More.

Just To Let You Know The Gtech Went From 219hp To 238hp After The Exhaust Install.
