So here's a photo of FULL cold air intake. The original title of this thread was "semi-cold air intake" because I still needed one extra elbow, well now I have it installed, and despite the enormous battery I was able to work around it and get it done. Photo (if you look closely you can see the top of the filter:
Driving impressions:
LOUD. Much louder. I had experimented using just the standard short-ram warm air intake (a large K&N filter), running that with a few extra pipes down with the filter sitting to the side of the battery, running just a pipe with no air filter down near the hole created for the filter (just for a few miles to test it) and now with the air filter fully "submerged" behind the bumper in the inner fender well. I have to say that this setup seems to be the best, it sounds great (but only when you "get on it") Although I have not run official dyno tests, I believe the car is making more power especially in midrange, between 5000 and 6500 RPMS. I have the JDM 10:1 SR20DE, but with this CAI, Hotshot header, custom exhaust, and ES mounts (although a somewhat restrictive muffler, though it sounds good) and I think the engine in it's current state begins to run out of breath past 6500RPMS. I believe the JWT S4 cams and JWT ECU would make a world of difference. I also believe the ignition timing is set only around 12 degrees which I haven't gotten around to advancing.
Around a decade ago at Englishtown raceway I was able to run a 15.4 @ 88 MPH in a '98 Sentra SE with just the Hotshot CAI & Hotshot header. Not that that is extraordinary, but not bad considering that car is heavy and no LSD. I also had another '91 SE-R with the Place Racing CAI, Hotshot header, 2.25" custom exhaust.... BUT with the JWT s3 cams and ran a 14.8 @ 90 mph. So who knows. All a lot of fun
