Hey, so this morning, I go downstairs and there's a nice injen intake starin me in the face <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> So anyway, I open the box, get the parts out, and fly out to the car. I got it installed in about 1/2 an hour, and it looks FLY! #### it's nice not seeing that stock airbox in there.

Power gains weren't what I thought they'd be, but I definately gained. Probably 5 hp over pulling out the resonator pipe from the stock airbox. Definately worth the money. Plus when I get the exhaust it'll help quite a bit.

Congratulations, where'd you get it from, and if you don't mind me asking, what'd it cost?

I really have to start modding my 240, I just picked it up last month, so I am still trying to figure out my budget with the payments and all.

transient, if you are driving an S14 I would recommend getting the CAE for that intake if you havent already. After running without it on my car, and then putting the CAE on, it seemed to make a much bigger difference.
I noticed better performance and a much nicer sound.
Ill never run without it again.
I think you can get the extension for around $90 if you shop around.

SCC tested the Injen &amp; proved 5.4hp to the wheels. &nbsp;IIRC, 11.4hp are freed in the mid-range. &nbsp;I'm unsure if the test was w/ or w/out CAE.
It sure is a beauty though :)

So is everybody happy with their injen intakes?

Ive heard good things about them. &nbsp;I've been thinking of getting one, and just wondered if anyone recommends another brand.

What's IIRC? &nbsp;And when you say freed in the mid-range do you mean there was a 11.4hp difference at like3-5 grand or something? &nbsp;But below 3 grand there was a 5 hp difference? &nbsp;I'm confused. &nbsp;I'm kinda new to this site. &nbsp;I just bought my 98 last week.

IIRC=If I Recall Correctly
Yeah, you got it. &nbsp;11.4 hp would be the greatest gain at some point in the power band. &nbsp;Say, at 3000, there was a 5.3hp gain; at 4000, there was a 8.9hp gain; at 5000, there was the max gain of 11.4hp; and at 6000, there was a gain of 3.5hp. &nbsp;Let's say peak power is at 5600...that's where the 5.4hp gain is taken.

HKS Intake vs Injen Intake, which do you think is better?

They are around the same price. &nbsp;I might be more willing to buy from HKS because they are a respected part manufacture. &nbsp;Where as I have never heard of Injen and their shiney car parts <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I'd go with the injen intake. If i'm not mistaken, HKS just offers a filter adapter. Oh, Transient, you can't get the c.a.e. with the 90? That's weak. I was planning on getting the whole intake set-up next month.

Injen has been making intakes for Nissan (and other cars) for a long time. They're well respected as having the best intake for the 240sx.

Basically you would be paying for a coplete intake system if you got the HKS, but you would only be getting a filter when you can spend the same ammount and get a even better filter plus the piping to match and more power. Get the Injen <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> They kickass.

i have a 93 and injen makes a cae for the early 90s &nbsp;it is like 100 bucks but i don't think it makes that much hp cuase i can take my hole system off and just run the filter with stock piping and i can't tell any difference..
i just painted my alloy pipe black and it seems to not get so hot..plus it looks stock...

the CAE is for 91-98 240sx's 89-90 can't get them.

I love my INJEN. Got it for my birthday from my bf, and after he installed it for me, I noticed a difference right away. It's pretty dope. I would definitely recommend it!

do you *have* to get new exhaust if you get new intake? &nbsp;I have an s13 fastback with stock everything and I need to replace the air filter anyways...so I was thinking I might as well install a whole new intake system. (screwy logic, huh)

transient

nope, it just gives you a better performance jump if you do it at the same time. Grab the intake now, exhaust whenever you get the chance.

i agree. get the exhaust later. &nbsp;but the intake is too cheap not to get now

I feel for you. I'm sorry... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Just kidding. I want performance parts. Whether it's my birthday or not. I got him parts for his b-day and afterwards, and he got me parts for mine, and constantly helps me with my car (if and when I need anything fixed). I'm just a complicated girl, don't laugh. I'm not masculine at all. I'm really tiny and at certain times, I wear make-up. See, it's ok!

my gf cleaned up her garage for me, so that i could put my car in there when i'm over. &nbsp;keep it out of the rain, etc. &nbsp;That was pretty cool. &nbsp;She's starting to like car shows now too. &nbsp;She's been to 5 with me. &nbsp;But, buying her car parts is still a bit of a stretch....

i was going to buy her a Renault Manic (so that she could get into racing, but she hates the car). &nbsp;Its the only one in Western Canada, and one of 160 worldwide. &nbsp;Plus its got a real racing history. &nbsp;She likes her Volvo 850. &nbsp;But its too expensive to soup up her car. &nbsp;Oh well, maybe I'll just buy it for myself.
