Nissan 240SX | 16V Secret Weapon Intake

[gthbryce]

I have a basically stock 1991 nissan 240sx. A lot of parts have been replaced. I have ngk plugs and ignition wires otherwise thats it. I Have been looking at intakes, does this one really do what it says and is it worth it for me even replace the stock intake?...Sorry Im a n00b!

It looks some what decent... but I would say if your going to spend the money buy a Injen Intake

good luck finding the intake one you want. =]

I vote AEM. You can get them for cheap sometimes in the F/S items forum and they are carb approved. There is actually an injen intake for sale right now there too.

Leave it stock. Going NA is pretty hard, unless u are dedicated to have time and the money to do so. In the end when you want more power, I gaurentee you wiill not have that intake.

Save up to do a ka-t, sr, lsx, vq, rb, watever. Even trying to go NA with a KA, you will more than likely have ITB and paying for an intake would suck. Map out you goal. Do it once, do it right. Don't waste money and have extra parts laying around.

AEM for the Win!

[s13 @ fullboost]

yeah AEM is also a very reliable company

[Croan]

is it even worth it?? every one flames the idea of an intake. does it realy increase HP?

[jrbump]

Worthless mod.

Save your money up for KA-T if you want anything worthwhile out of that motor.

[Croan]

but you, id rather stay "legal" with a carb legal intake than get reffed for a turbo. its my dd. just looking to squeeze every HP out of i can

hahah i would have to agree. so no go on intake ?

[!Zar!]

If you want a performance increase, a drop in filter will have more power gains over an oem panel filter from nissan.

this FTW!, or make your own...i made mine..it looks like a cold pipe..(i stole the idea from a guy i met, so no props to me)
i like how mine works.

[The Chad]

Yeah, Save your money and make your own if you care. When i was 17 i bought an Injen and noticed NO HP DIFFERENCE!!! Hahah. I made one for my current S14. I made an air box out of aluminum sheets and pop riveted it together and placed a K&N filter in that ...this negated the entire pipe over the radiator, ran it right off the intake side. GL!! :)

Do whatever you want. I say you will feel the difference with an intake and an exhaust if all youve ever driven is a stock 240. You are also in TX where they dont car about modified cars so go for it!

[infinitexsound]

he wants an intake not a turbo............. geez drop in filter.. or cheap ebay ones.....w/ kn filter... works great...

[gthbryce]

I just removed the stock ram air scoop, it supposed to give it a meaner sound supposedly.

It does. There's no power gain though but your brain thinks there is because you hear the air flow more. Logical thought is if you hear it, you should feel it too. Not the case with intake piping. It's much the same as removing your muffler, the car is louder so it technically 'should' be faster. Usually it's not.

[loveskylines]

if you dont put the sticker on your car showing what intake you have you will never achieve full potential of the intake :ghey:


ROFL put the intake on if it makes you happy:goyou:

[dmragecm]

pointless mod. jsut get a clean filter if yours is dirty and save up for a nice catback.
