:Puts on his flame retardant suit: What is the difference between a popcharger and a cold air intake? Couldn't find any answers to this. Thanks.

 

get ready, i hear the other guys prepping their flame throwers.........

 

You couldn't find any becasue you didn't look.

When you posted this thread, you should have taken the forums advice to search.

 

Should be a sticky somewhere with Top 100 FAQs.

 

1. spelling is different
2. maker is different

JWT popcharger:

pro: can suck higher volume of air compared to stock

con: sucks hot air from engine bay and heat shield does not really help all that much in preventing it from sucking hot air. People have reported a problem stalling when travelling at high speeds and putting the car in neutral with this intake.


Long tube CAI such as Nismo, Injen:

pro: sucks colder air, (note...so does stock)

con: More pressure losses due to a longer tube. This is a fact of life folks. More bends and longer tube = more pressure losses. In fact, long tube CAI's have even shown horsepower LOSSES on a dyno.


So...the Popcharger sucks in hot air and has less pressure loss. Anything else?

 

the cold air popcharger is better.

 

No such thing

 

haha ^^

 

Werd!
