View Full Version : Cheap But Quality Intake
Omega
02-17-2002, 11:54 PM
I found a guy who makes custom piping with K&N Cone Filters they seem to be of great quality for the price. On eBay he sells them for $84 and $9.99 shipping for 48 states and $17.99 for Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska. Shipping rates via United Parcel Service with tracking and insurance.
He told me if we get 10 people he will take $7 off so you almost get your shipping free.
He makes 4 240sx kits so specify which one u need
89-94 12V, 91-94 16V, 95-96, and 97-98
Pipe Material: Polished Stainless Steel
Filter Material: K&N Cone Filter, Million Mile Guarantee, Cleanable, Reusable.
Also: premium silicone hoses and connectors, stainless steel clamps and completely bolt on
1990 Nissan 240SX 12 V with 97,552 Miles
Performance K&N Intake Kit
5.8 HP Increase at the Wheels
5.1 TQ Increase at the Wheels
This is the Dyno run for the 12 Valve Engine, on the 16 Valve. You will get both more Bottom End TQ, and Higher RPM HP too.
He will accept money orders, and checks, but does prefer paypal

Btw he says for $7 he will change the hosing to ether red or blue it comes yellow normally (there goes your discount hehe)

can i get everything except the filter for less? I already have a brand new K&N cone.
yea, same here. i already have a k&n cone filter and maf plate.
Omega
02-18-2002, 01:22 PM
Im not sure but i can ask him
Omega
02-18-2002, 01:49 PM
Ok he said he can take $20 off for kits W/O filters BUT your filter must have a 3" inlet.
Price for FULL Kit:
Ok Price before Discount: $83.99
After: $76.99
Shipping: $9.99
Total: $86.98 (Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska add $8 for shipping)
Price for W/O Filter Kit (your filter must have a 3" inlet):
Price minus discount and no filter: $56.99
Shipping: $9.99
Total: $66.98 (Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska add $8 for shipping)
Please mark if u want FULL Kit or W/O Filter Kit and if u want the blue or red hoses

I am in no way affiliated with him but he seems very professional. He says he runs dynos on all of his products he makes and sells.
eBay rating (http://cgi2.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=dohccivicna1250)
Yea he’s got a few neg. But look at how many he has traded and if u look at the neg. most are not really serous problems anyways.
i'm in for one w/o a filter, with red hosing. oh, and its for a 12valve, sohc. thanks man. (i dont care about the extra charge for the red hosing)

ok, just wondering, does his MAF plate have a flange to mount the air temp sensor? if so I'd want that.

02-19-2002, 01:02 PM
Alright, lets see how it goes with hotdogg, I'm down for one if every thing goes well. Can you have him measure the length of the filter? (I'm not sure if mine clears or not).
Otherwise, I'm getting the AEM :biggrin:
If everything does go well, count me in as a '90 SOHC 12V with the filter, with blue piping. Btw, this is completely bolt on? Thanks!
Omega
02-19-2002, 04:49 PM
Yes everything is bolt on
I hope everything goes good too because I’m trusting his word just like u guys
At this pace we should have 10 people in less than 2 weeks so I’m really happy
Grant what do u mean? The height of the fattest round piece (bottom) when lying on its side? Or the length of it from top to bottom?

It should be real easy to install right? I am in for one if it is.
Omega
02-19-2002, 09:43 PM
#### yea its just like any other bolt on intake should be done in under 30 min max I would say that most of us here know our way around our cars about and could do it in under 20 min most of that time would be taking out the stock intake
Everyone please include the following info: Year & Make (12v or 16v), w/ Filter or W/O, (Optional) hosing color, and if you are in Canada, Hawaii or Alaska
Also must include valid email !!!

Btw, my email is
[email protected] if you didn't get it out of the profile. (That is a zero in 0ut.) And the reason I was asking about whether or not it was completely bolt is that it does not have as many hose fitments as the stock intake. Thanks!
justinc
02-20-2002, 03:30 PM
Does this come wit any instructions hahaha.
What should we do wit the extra hoses that the stock one has. Should we just use breather filters?

02-20-2002, 05:43 PM
so it is stainless steel and not aluminum?
hotdogg
02-20-2002, 07:10 PM
the auction i won says its billet polished aluminum.
Omega
02-20-2002, 07:13 PM
Ok I’m not sure but if u look at the pic u can see where the other hose should be I think it comes with it and he just doesn’t have it on in the pic. He told me it was SS and that the ebay thing was wrong and we will change it. OBX most likely doesn’t have K&N but im not sure.
I hope it comes with instructions I’m sure it must hehe but if it doesn’t I will make a faq with pics and post it, I’m sure most of us could fig. it out
Ok did I miss anything that was a lot of Q:s
Ohh and yea it is 7 $ for the diff. hose colors
Omega

I wish he made a cae I don’t know he might ill talk to him and see if we can get him interested I’m sure most of us would buy it hehe

02-21-2002, 01:00 PM
if you have a temp sensor on your 12v, you will see an additional sensor coming out of the MAF. I believe only the 1990 s13 with ka24e had this. Come to think of it, only early 89's with the high compression motor didn't have it.
black0ut
02-21-2002, 01:45 PM
Okay, what is the impact of this temp sensor regarding the intake? Would it not be a direct bolt on if I have a temp sensor? I do have a 90 KA24E, so according to you, I would have a temp sensor. Should I be wary of this intake? Thanks!
gh6o6
02-21-2002, 03:46 PM
heres my latest idea - if this guy is willing to make an intake for 10 people maybe he will make the extention for many of us (heres where the new part comes in) if he turns the filter 90 degrees to injen's cae, then it will be a ram cold air extention which would be really cool
it wouldent be too hard for him since im assuming he does the bending himself i would buy one

I dont know man he seems to have everything down he does make differnt models for the diff 240s so i would think hes sorted that all out. we arnt his fist customer he sells intaks for all kinds of cars so i think he must know what hes doing

If I were you guys I would hold off on sending him the money. I paid for mine on the 18th. I emailed him today about a UPS tracking number. He said he hasn't received my payment yet. I forwarded him my paypal receipt and haven't heard from him since. Then I tried to talk to him on AIM about it, he went offline. But its your money so do what you want to.

Shiet! I wish I found out earlier about this, I've already sent him the money, and he replied back saying he'll ship tomorrow. HotDogg... have you tried contacting paypal? Is there anyone else that's sent him money?

I haven't contacted paypal yet. I'm gonna give him a day or two, and if nothing happens I'm going to.

not to burst the bubble or anything, but I believe chris can get the OBX intake for our cars for about the same price, he is more legit than this guy as far as I know, if you guys are interested, I will talk to him about it.
Omega
02-27-2002, 05:51 PM
Thanks Grant that would be great if you could talk to him tell him we have around 13 orders if he can get the price down to near what we would have been paying
Grant
02-27-2002, 06:03 PM
alright I will talk to him tonight, would ANYONE be interested in paying some more $$ for an AEM? according to alex chang nobody else powdercoates uses TIG welding on these their intakes except AEM.
just thought I'd let you guys know that as well.
Omega
02-27-2002, 06:16 PM
Ok we will have to see waht prices we are quoted then decide to go OBX or AEM we cant run a mixed deal its too hard... i guess we might be able to split the deal but it will take longer for each of them to reach their buyer #

Hey everybody-
I talked to DOHCCivicNA1250 tonight and straightened some things out. When he found out his boss wouldn't let him give the deal that he had agreed on, he thought that the best way to handle it was to just duck out. I explained to him that people can understand if you can't control the situation, but it's best to let them know what's going on. He said he would send an email out later to let everyone know the situation. He's sorry that things turned out like this... he just didn't know quite how to handle the situation.
I also asked him about the intakes that were already paid for. He said he's good for his word, and those will be shipping out. If anyone has paid, he said feel free to email him with your name and he will give you a tracking number.
Again, the guy's sorry, he just didn't quite know how to handle the situation. You know how us 240 guys can be pretty scary ;-) But seriously, we've all buckled under pressure before.
Let's get some prices on the OBX and AEM intakes and see how they compare. I thought that AEM only made an intake for the DOHC, though...

Well I got everything straightened out. He sent me a UPS tracking number and its supposed to arrive tomorrow. Thanks Omega.

Wow this really sucks... i was actually looking forward to that intake... He says his boss wouldnt let him do this deal??? What if we ask him to give us the original price and have us directly buy from their company? Will he be able to sell it to us then? If he cant... then im looking forward for the deal Grant's gonna make... Keep us updated
Omega

I emailed his boss a few days ago to see what we could do as in smaller discount or none at all he hasn’t replied. We should wait to see the prices Chris can give us and then decide on if we want to go OBX or AEM or give this guy a second chance depending on how hotdogg likes his when he gets it. Personally I think I would like the K&N over OBX but I haven’t seen much about either but I know K&N filters are quality
blackout yea we all handle some stuff bad but he’s been ignoring me on aims for days he wouldn’t even tell me he couldn’t do it for like 3 days after he knew
hotdogg np glad I could help and that someone got theirs hehe, give us an update on it so we know to move on or possibly pursue working out a deal with them

Id rather not pay that because one I know that a week ago they sold them for 84 and I also know they make enough to give 7$ off, so I don’t really feel like paying extra when I was told I could get it for less

hmm if we could get the AEM ones for a good price.. i'd most likely go with that... heard lots of good stuff from them

Indeed, I'd rather AEM than OBX. I'll have to look into what the AEMs look like, I honestly am not a huge fan of the polished steel look.

hey all...
chris here!
i'll have this GB and the N1 GB ready to go on Friday with ALL the details.
I am getting an AEM intake tomorrow for a customer...so I should be able to tell you all what it looks like, ( actually, i'll have pics). So i'll price everything for all yall and we'll work from there!
I'll even set up zones for everybody to find out where they stand on shipping!

AEM's are powdercoated, blue, red, or silver (i think they also offer a polished version now) but yea, my friend had the polished injen before, dulls out really quick. Anyways, just an insight on what the AEM looks like on an s13 (Alex Chang's Car).

I know the pic is at a bad angle, I will try to get better ones from Chris.

I cant wait till Chris get us hooked up and get us a good price on them, hopefully not too high... but what im most concerned right now is that earlier I read in the AEM site that they only provide intakes for the DOHC 92-94 s13's and all of the s14's but i dont see one that is for the SOHC 89-90 240sx... Do the intakes for the DOHC s13's fit on the SOHC s13's??? Or should there be seperate intakes for the two different engines types???

I'm down with switching to chris for some OBX or AEM intakes.
Hook us up with some prices, man.

To: Omega240sx
I told him this becuase we only have 30 or so of each kit left in stock for 2 months. I dont wanna run out of em for selling at a lower price, that is the problem. If anybdy wishes to buy em, they should go thru ebay.
The only reason he won’t sell to us is he’s greedy and wants to make more they even jacked up the prices on ebay. So let’s move on he isn’t willing to make any sort of deal
Chris please start a new topic when you post the info so we can start freesh and leave this in the past I will email u the list of people I had for this group buy so u can see if they are still interested

Here is another picture of an aem short ram. Very very nice unit, I'd either go AEM or Injen, AEM is easier to clean with the powdercoating.

Well I got the intake today. It seems like a quality piece. It came with the MAF adaptor and the tube has a place for other air temp sensor. I will be putting it on this weekend so I will let you guys know how it fits.
