Short ram = Heat soak.
CAI = restrictive intake resistance.
OEM Box with dropin = Gold.
'06 OEM box has a velocity stack = Even better.

You'll notice most of the tuners/builders in Japan retain the stock air box... I wonder why?

 

I would probably do more research before posting....but thats just me

Nismo doesnt even make half the crap they sell.....they simply rebadge it FYI

The CAI which you cited is made by AEM....search AEM CAI and see what owners have to say about their real world dyno numbers/driving experiences

I dont know if they do NOTHING because most people agree the popcharger is good for 4-5whp not HUGE gains but a little.....and for 110 and the sound...not a bad deal IMO

But 250-300 for maybe the same gain....many folks just skip it if they know better or grab a drop in

 

Damn cocky guy. Really borwse around and learn something about the Z before you make any more stupid posts

 

Thanks for the tip on the Turbonator, I meet the best people on this forum. Thanks again...


ReallY I don't believe every word the manufacturers print, believe it or not. I expected that I picked up about 3 more HP with the NISMO cai, if I was after a big HP gain I would spend $$$$ for FI

 

That has to be the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

Well, I have a buddy that dyno'd with the Nismo CAI and Pop Charger on the same day... the Nismo did not win.

 

I forgot man... his butt dyno is more accurate than a dyno dynamics

I need this intake so I can have an AWD Z.

 

i'm getting an ARC after i heard it from an EVO. i thought he has a blow off valve but, the hissss sound was coming from the intake. the shop i go to sell it for $580.00 i know, it's kind of expensive but, it is the best in the market right now.i also ordered an APEX N1 exhaust. boy, i can't wait! i bet it will sound, SIICCKK!

 

thats alot of money to drop on an intake... alot of money...

blow off valves dont make a hiss noise, more like a sneeze. i think if thats what i wanted, i would just get one of these off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-TUR...spagenameZWDVW

 

woot! good for an additional 110whp at least! stickers give it even more whp!

 

plus, its wheel selectable horsepower :fyi:

you just adjust the torsion controller **** on the bottom of the exhaust add on if you want it to be front wheel horsepower

 

well, when it comes to my car's aftermarket parts, i'd rather go for the best. i know it's very expensive that'swhy i work hard. if i wanted to buy stuff from ebay or pepboys, i might as well buy me a mustang or camaro. JDM all the way!!

 

good thinking

if its expensive it must be the best . so im assuming since thats your philosophy, your windshield washer resevoir is filled only with evian water, you only pump 100 octance gas into your tank, your tires are filled with nitrogen, and you are running some sort of expensive synthetic oil which you had to put in yourself seeing as how no oil change locations carried that oil

 

.
Hater. lol

 

Guess guys like Tony cant make power huh? MREV2 sucks cause its done here --- Cosworth --- not JDM so guess that mani is out for you too

What JDM plennum mod are you gonna run....or will you skip it if there are no JDM alternatives?

 

i'm just giving my opinon about the best intake there is..if you don't have the money then go to auto zone or pepboys . don't be hating because some of you guys can't afford to spend money..if you have the money, then go for it; you get what you pay for, right?..hai arigato gosaimazu!

that'sright, I GET ALL MY STUFF FROM" HIGH END PERFORMANCE" HOW DID YOU GUESS I USED EVIAN WATER FOR MY WINDSHIELD?

 

you get what you pay for, but theres also alot of people that make alot of money off of people who dont research and just go by what they are told

personally, i wouldnt think that the manufacturers of "the best intake for our cars" would have just figured out that there is unused air between the filter and the engine. thats common sense to me, so i dont know whats special about this air filter that utilizes that air, not like any other air filters get rid of that air in the intake runner and start all over...

and yes, the manufacturers description states that they have found a way to utilize the air between the filter and the engine... that seems like pretty elementary information. if it was the best, i would expect it to od something revolutionary, not just store air in the runner. but thats just my oppinion on it.

now if you need me, ill be the guy at advanced auto parts buying a K&N filter, saving $500, with the same performance increase, and ill probably be just as happy

 

Show graphs to prove it

Otherwise your a ricer with more money than sense
