I'd jump on these if I wasn't spray'n but where the location is for the foam is where my foggers go. If I put it ahead of it its too close to the throttle body. If i put it after it, then the foam would disperse the fuel and nitrous a bit...

I hope it's not like injen design.

Even if it is, those little foam disks pictured are specifically there to ensure you can't hydrolock your motor in the event you submerge your primary filters. In fact, I'm surprised Injen didn't have these as an option on theirs.

Oh and OP, PLEASE dyno your car with these, ideally a before and after would be great, but I'll take whatever I can get.

You know, I'm sure if you had the interlock filters, and were good with piping, you could prolly buy a set of injens, and mod them with these yourself... I doubt it would be that crazy of an install either.

Metal tubing I presume? That's unfortunate.

Hmm.. May have to do that as I don't drive the car at all when it rains and if it does, I head straight home.

I had an RSX Type S with the injen cai's and just say I almost hydrolocked my motor. 6 oil changes later and all the water was out the motor..

XwChriswX · 08-24-2011, 11:06 PM

The other option is to make some kind of baffle/surround that you could C-clamp over the Injens filter that would block the bottom side of it from water... But then really, these are things Injen should have R&D'd in product development... I'm kinda surprised their product has had so many problems with Z's.

Looks promising! Subscribing for further details and pics!

Never had any water issues on my Injen equipped Nismo and have been in some heavy downpours.

maybe not you, but you've had to have seen the issues all over this board with people who have had issues with theirs.
