Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake

[d112crzy]

I get 120+ from all the short rams I tune. Low 100's with CAI's at highway speeds. 130+ when at a stop with sri and 110 or lower with cai.

Also, I'm not sure how nissan ecu's compensate for temp, but Honda ecu's mess with timing AND fuel causing a noticeable difference in the butt dyno when running the sri setup in cool weather as opposed to a hot, sunny day.

Comparing two different cars isn't fair either. The engine bays are COMPLETELY different thus each bay having a different flow while cruising. CB's are pretty cluttered and don't get much air INTO the bay without removing a lot of crap.

I will rely on your testing over my *click...*click...*paste ing until I do my own testing of course

Personally I would go with a short ram intake, I wouldnt want to risk anything.

dont mean to hijack the thread or nething
but i was reading another site and found some1 saying this:

check this out bro ull get more hp out ur car with the stock airbox and a highflow filter like k&N or something like that dont waste the funds on a polished pipe of pipe with a cone because u are hurting performance espiaclly if thats all ur planing to do

do yous agree?
if i left my intake normal but just change the filter to a better quality one (eg K&N), would it make ne difference?

Not really true, you might get a bit better than stock just replacing the filter. But SRIs and CAIs are more than just pipes, they're designed to make the air flow better and therefore give you more power.

His grammar alone would caution me to doubt anything he writes unless he's a proven tuner, he's probably a "forum tuner"

Short Ram adds a little grunt and maybe 1-2hp

Cold Air is proven to add between 4-5hp and a possible blown motor even with a bypass valve.

something you need to remember, just like a larger throttle body and plenum give a little extra power, larger intake tubing helps as well.

Usually CAI and SRI both are 3" tubings so that alone give better power.

While a better flowing filter will help, the better flowing and larger tubing also helps and adds to the overall effect.

in short, yes and no
