Injen makes a Cold Air Intake.  Its about $250

I have it on my car.  Works Beautifully

On some Leaf blowers they have a perfectly round 3inch pipe. they also have a bend in it. the buy a 25 dollar APC filter and u have a Working cold air intake.

prInce · 04-12-2002, 05:18 PM

are you serious? use a pipe from a leaf blower? does the leaf blower have a KA24 engine that generates close to a 120 degree of heat and the pipe can stand it for a 5 hr higway drive @90mph? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

i'd rather get the injen or something. But I haven't gotten one yet because I wanna move the battery to my trunk and relocate the filter in that place. do I really have to use a pipe from a leaf blower or is there a company out there that sells a custom intake? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>

I found a K&N unit on ebay for $80.  It was stainless, or painted chrome, and had a cone filter.  It uses the stock routing, and places the filter in the same place.  Not a true cai, but probably a nice for a few hp.
  I hate the way the stock one is all square, and stupid looking.  A custom one is probably easy, if you are handy at routing in the other lines along the intake track

240toast · 04-13-2002, 10:07 AM

I wish aem made a cai for 91 240sx

there were quite a few ppl at the infiniticlub forum that had trouble with that intake from eBay.  It wouldn't fit the '89-90 right and even the ones with '91-94 240sx had trouble installin it.
did you just but on it, or did you purchase and install it?  did you have any trouble with that?

MyFirst240SX · 04-13-2002, 02:03 PM

go to www.240SX.org they have a good setup for a Custom CAI

Ser_rah · 04-14-2002, 12:25 PM

Sorry, no I was just parousing it.  Looks quality, and for $80.  Maybe it is a pita cause K&N does so many applications. They probably didnt go crazy doing R&D.  u know?

Is the injen a true cai? Like with the filter in the fender well.   Sorry for being such a newbie, but I tried a search, and had no luck.

Anyway, a lot of people try to make one from parts in a junkyard.  Just by crowing intakes off cars.  Some junked cars have aftermarket ones too.  Just an idea.  

What i thought to do was buy the K&N, and then put an elbow extension on with a plate for a filter in the fender by the resonator.  That would be f'ing loud tho'
