I am thinking of getting rid of my nismo cai... (i will sell pretty cheap once i get my new set up in there if its worth it) and replacing it with a ARC suction pipe / jwt pop charger set up... only problem is i need to know any additional hose connectors/sizes mods i need to get this setup to work... maybe it might not be worth the $ to some of you but i'd sure like to have it any input would be appreciated.... even the negative aspects....

Just took my highly over priced, power loosing, dodge every water puddle Nismo CAI and replace it with a Stillen intake. A week now and very pleased

 

^^ glad to hear your stillen intake is working out for you... wow nobody else has thought to use this set-up? i saw it on the street once and also saw it on performance nissans "ninja" nismo 350... its on the cover of modified mag's latest issue...

 

a z tube would be cheaper.

 

Definitely worth it if you don't plan on going FI

 

im not planning on going FI in the near future i wanna go all motor and break 300hp with an 03 perf... if possible i think it is....

i am aware.... but the arc setup is what im looking for... i found a site that does hoses.... i just need to know what size hose the jwt pop charger needs to connect to the suction pipe.... i want to order it all at once...

 

Best thread title ever!! Do it!

 

Can you not convert it to short ram and maybe save some money?

 

i was thinking that myself... it might be to long to use with the pop charger.. but i've actually SEEN the arc/jwt put together it looked damn good.... i'ts worth a shot though

 

Toss it off!

Stock, Stillen, Pop Charger are the only options.
ARC works too but its big $$$

 

Gruppe-M, K&N typhoon

 

yea the ARC suction pipe is $285 itself... add the pop charger and its around $400... i've installed numerous intake systems so i can do it myself but THIS set-up is what would make me happy i will post pics when i do it... i gotta get my bodykit shipped and painted first

 

What is so bad about the NISMO CAI that is on there? I thought that would be better than the stock air box that normally comes with it.

 

It's harder to suck air through a long tube than a short one. Your engine intakes air through suction. Game over for long tube CAI

 

They may work on some engines but they don't work on the VQ.

 

its true i feel a lag since i put it on... i spoke to Andy about his set-up on the Ninja 350... i know what to do now.... ghost~

 

that is so true... i got bored today and decided to turn my long-tube into a short-ram... and noticed a big difference in the throttle response and overal feel at wot... i honestly think i was losing hp for the past year ... oh yeah on the way home from the test drive... some teenage girl was on her cellphone in a brand new honda pilot .... she was coming out of a neighborhood turning left out of the turning lane... there was a minivan in plain sight passing by her and the water-brain side swiped the van.... lmao i looked at her face when i drove by and held my hand up to my ear like i was on the phone and she flicked me off : stupid c*nt but yea long pipe intakes.... suck... metaphorically speaking....

 

Does no one in here like the K&N 63 series? I bought it a while back and the build quality of it is phenominal, huge heat shield too. I'm surprised we don't hear more about it.

 

links.... pics.... price..?

 

Might want to think about heat soak with metal suction pipe. It might look nice, but the heat thats being generated under the hood of a VQ can affect the air temp.
