when is all this power coming on?
 

Guys I think he not only needs to know who makes more power, but where is is coming on at 3500rpm? 5000rpm? 7000rpm?. some people like low end some mid range and some high end. I think this along with install ease is what alot of people look for. just my two cents:tup:

Injen CAI the only true cold air intake.

As Stillen is a ram air intake and then there are short ram intakes like JWT and Rz2. But the op was not clear with his question he only asked which is the best intake. Best from what? HP, price, fitment, CAI, short ram, long ram, filtration. They all have their pros and cons. Heat soak, cutting into the body of car and the maintenence of the filters located in the bottom of the bumper. I would tend to agree that Stillen as being less likely to hydrolock that is of the long tube designs. But I did not relish cutting the body of the car to install them.

I prefer the dry air filter over the cotton oil based, more filtration but with a loss of power. I can live with this versus a dirty running engine. Cleaning of the Injen filters can be done without having to remove the bumper. Just pop the pins on the inner fender well and remove clean and reinstall.

Fit and finish (polished black) = Injen CAI

a bit off subject but i have to know for those who have the stillen gen 3 intakes especially on the nismos, how do u manage to clean the filters, do u have to remove the bumper everytime u need to clean them.

Uh, is there a discount code at corsportusa that anyone knows about for the HPS? These things look pretty cool, kinda pricey for some silicone tubes though. But hey if they are high quality and work.......

Yup!

Do the HPS tubes really work? Its such a small area.

Stillen

Has anyone put the Stillen Gen 3 intakes on a Nismo? I know you can do it by removing that brace, but it makes me wonder what that brace does exactly? If it helps to stiffen the car somehow, i wouldnt want to remove this...

Graphic proof that the HPS tubes really work...

The pic shows that it fits and looks really cool but does it give you the " Oh yeah, glad I got these! I go faster now buahahaha "

When you used the term "such a small area" I thought you meant how it fit as opposed to how it works. Sorry. Actually, I put the K&N drop in's first and then the tubes. I really can't discern much gain, but I do think that it sounds better than the stock tubes. I don't know if that is because of the tubes or the drop in's however. I have a Stillen CBE that really ramps up the sound anyway so it's hard to tell if it really made much difference. As others have stated, they dino'd the drop in's at a 6hp gain, and I would imagine that the tubes may add another 1 or 2. They are quite smooth where the stock tubes were not.

I installed the HPS intake tubes with K&N filters a couple of days ago. My butt dyno says 5 easy. :)

Seriously, though, they look good and the sound is slightly different. Corsport claims a dyno proven 6 HP improvement on their site for just the tubes.

Thats also an important point that i need to know to.

Anyone ever try K&N's air intake system? K&N claims 14 hp increase(?)

Yea I wish Stillen would test it out on the Nismo. I want to order these but wont until i know what that brace does exactly...

Also, where can you buy the HPS tubes?

Corsport

CorSport Online Store

Sh$t, MINE TOO!! HAHA! :bowrofl:

I thought I knew what intakes I wanted (R2c) but I've always wanted a CAI. Is the GEN 3 a wet based filter? and what does that mean in terms of maintaining it? I have only ever had SRI's.....btw LOVE those Z1 powder coated GEN 3's!

Does anyone know if you can fit a Jim Wolf or R2c filters on the Stillen Gen 3's? I think it would make for an unbeatable combo!

So if we offered a dry filter version of the intake (or dry filter upgrade/replacement for others).. that would be a win in your book?

Not out of the question.. K&N builds a great filter, but there is some cleaning application with the oiling..

And let's take the MAF issue out of the equation.. it's not a reality, K&N has fought that internet rumor hard.. as long as the application of the oil is done even semi-correctly..

But that being said, you're asking for dry filters on the Gen 3's?

YES! I think since Z1 has the options for painting your intake now you might as well be able to choose between a wet or dry filter :tup:

The reason I went with my Injen was 1, black paint (no polishing) and 2, Dry flow filters (no oiling) 3, I had experience with these from my G35 ;)

All I am saying is give people the option and you have the intake market in your hands :p

Just speaking for myself, I prefer dry filters. I also have never been a fan of K&N (just a personal preference). I don't doubt their R&D but K&N would be my last choice. As to the MAF issue, I'm not sure what that's about....I guess I haven't got to that page yet.

yes dry filter is WIN! Especially a dry one that can be cleaned and reused:tup:

Still curious what you guys think would happen if you slapped on an R2c filter on a Stillen Gen3. You think that the HP gains would decrease or increase?

Can anyone tell me what gains R2C claims for their intake system?

I've seen dyno sheets anywhere from 10-15whp

Which type of air intake the best?
 

hey guys,I just joined this forum.I just bought a 370z and ready to get some upgrade such as reflash stage 1 Ecu and etc.I have less experience on 370z and wanted to ask for more opinion before i make the move.Which type of air intake is the best and what brand will recommended to buy?I want something that can get me slightly HP and less noise when the air intake taking.Opinions and comments will be appreciate.:icon17:

More air tends to equal more noise.

More air also less "low end torque".!

Andy, head over to the Intake/Exhaust section. You'll find enough information, opinions, dyno results, and delusions to give you the answer you seek (or totally confuse you!)

thanks man...I will go to the section and check it out...^^...

It is in the "Tech Section"

Personally, I have the Injen Long Tube Cold Air Intakes.

As far as the whole range, you can get a bit of a bump with less restrictive air filters, like K&N drop-ins, and it won't change the sound much.

You can get Short Ram intakes, but that's only a small bump and is louder.

The long tube CAI's give the most power, and they are also louder. I preferred Injen to Stillen, but only because the install requires only the replacement of the washer fluid reservoir, while the Stillen install is marginally more difficult.

:icon18:

My vote is for the Stillen G3 long tube intakes. They add power everywhere in the rev range, sound great, and look great in the engine bay. I chose Stillen as these intakes continue to show the best power gains out of all the intakes but you do have to modify the radiator core support to fit them. To me, it was worth it though.

Welcome to PRM Racing - Jet Stream Intake System

this company did very well extracting HP from the DE motor which HATES intake mods...they said that they are testing out a design for the 370/ they sound awesome too...cant wait....this will hopefully be my intake soon

I stay at Malaysia and it's a hot country.So,which will be the best choice for me to mod?I heard cold air intake kinda many problems such as water go in or etc?As Chris said that Stillen G3 sounds good and many people recommended also...I need a air intake gain slightly HP on every Rpm because i am a city driver.

will it causes a lot of problem?

I went with HPS tubes and K&N drop-in route, very satisfied. It looks very clean and a good bang for your buck. Also, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, search for ERZ HFC's.

Most CAI's have the potential to cause hydro lock if you drive on very wet days, because they tend to be low to the ground. So, just don't drive it over thick puddles and you should be fine.

I think that Stillen has the same potential for that, but I'm unsure.

Either way, I think that both products are great. :tup:
