To make a long story short;

Went back and forth between getting the JWT Popcharger and the NISMO CAI. Ended up buying the Nismo CAI...now I've changed my mind.

Where did you get your Gruppe-M C/F intake and how much did it cost?

Thanks.

 

I bought mine used. I doubt you can even find a new one...and if you did it would be somewhere in the hood of 1200 bucks. I'll take 1000 for mine.

 

too much $$$ for an intake.....stick with the nismo cai, it looks better imo

 

^^^^^Nismo looks better than Gruppe-M, yeah right...i bet you think there is something that looks better than the RSX too.


You can buy it HERE

 

Thanks man I saw that post...I'm trying to get it from a US company. Getting it shipped all the way from Japan to an APO address would be nightmare.

Wonder if any of the sponsors carry it?

Could care less about the performance, as the gains are probably the same anyways. Exclusivity is key.

Nismo < Gruppe-M C/F

 

I can order for you.

 

What kind of gains can you expect with this?

 

Similar gains to the rest of the intakes out there.

 

so like what 4~6rwhp?

 

I like the idea b/c the filter is completely closed up...so you only get air from outside of the engine bay...well except for maybe a little from the extra hole in the filter box.

 

Technically it should yield better gains, but we have seen how other CAIs don't necessarily make more hp.

 

if someone wants to start a fund and pay for the dyno time i will throw my pop charger on and dyno it and then the gruppe-m on and re-dyno. I sometimes run the pop charger with the gruppe-m scoop, i think that is a good combo, especially when you are moving.

Edit: You know what...if i didn't have to drive my car in the rain i could buy a bad a$$ computer fan or something and put it in the scoop and that would really get air moving in there, I'm not sure if it is a real efficient design since the inlet is on the side of the scoop...i don't think it really gets a lot of air being forced in...i would rather have a more direct path into the opening...like running a varis inlet with a hose to the filter box...i bet that would rock on the highway.

 

Im gonna build something like that, Ive been drawing it up. Varis intake duct, Somekind of baller looking tubing, make the varis hole bigger, and straight shot. However whenever it rains, the hole will be blocked, and the hose will be removed. Well see how it goes.

 

What price are we looking at?

You got it in stock?

 

That thing is one of the most expensive intakes out there.... The last time I saw it went for close to 1k.

 

There is one that is more expensive, i'm always on the look out for big baller items that are rare...not saying i can afford even 5% of them but still...check this thread out.

 

No one here in the US stocks it. It would be special order only. If you are interested in ordering, PM me for details.

Thanks!

 

Not sure what's so special about that intake. There are companies who have copied that one already for a fraction of the price.

 

^^^^^^
I'll tell you what is so special about it...to me at least...the probability of seeing it on someone else's car is pretty much ZERO! I'd never buy it at that price but if someone gave me one i would drive around with my hood off for everyone to see, hahahaha. Just kidding.
