injen and filter combo

[an93l]

Just a few questions has anyone changed the injen filter for another one with more surface area?

Something like this

And was wondering if it would help that bit and are all filters are the same size and can fit the injen piping.

[rhys.l]

I'm running a blox velocity stack and blox filter on the end of my injen (for dc2r). The size I got from jdmyard wasn't the best fit, but you can make it work.

No idea if it has made any difference to the car, just felt like wasting money at the time.

I wouldnt stress to much.
Filters are over priced do-hickies anyways.
You can make do with a supercheap/autobarn one and save the extra $50 or whatever for yourself.

Stock airbox ftw
heres why:
injen = HYDROLOCK & is longer so it takes more time to make power / less torque lol
short ram = although it is ok with Accel , it sucks up air in the engine bay
Stock air box = just in between and doesnt really suck up engine bay air
but to answer your question , filters actually dont 'change' hp enough to be noticed as long as its clean it should be good to go
my 2 cents

I have a few problems with this post

1)
Running a CAI doesn't mean you will get hydrolock is just means that you cannot drive thru as deep water. Easily fixed by avoiding flooded roads or by not driving like an idiot thru water.

2)
Yes filter choice has little HP change on a NA application but tests have shown a higher flowing filter helps a FI set up. Plus some filters are better at filtering than others and therefore more reliable power.

3)
Is the 'stock air box' is sooo good how come race teams that spend tens of thousands of dollars in r&d don't use them? Sure for a street application there are no real big/noticeable gains to be made. The ideal setup for NA applications is a pressurized box with the pickup sitting in the cold air stream with a high flowing filter I.E. the Mugen style intake boxes.

4)
Short ram intakes year good numbers until the engine is warm then generally go backwards as they suck up mostly hot air (unless you have a good heats hold in place). And a CAI will suck up mostly cooler air than its short ram counterpart. As you should know colder air is mote dense and therefore in theory you will get a better combustion.

5)
This is a thread for people with Injen intakes to talk about how they use them and to discuss things about them, so if you don't line CAIs why the hell did you click the link? And why the hell did you feel the need to write a post?

i had an opinion to share thats why bud

[oopoc]

That's fair enough and it's a valid opinion. Yes in small motors like ours there are no big gains to be had modifying the standard intake. But this is a thread for people in whose opinion is that the CAI is a better option. They have obviously decided that the monetary offset is worth what gains/losses there are to be had. But how your post was worded is like saying 'all your opinions are wrong because X, Y, Z'

[duzy]

Not sure if it would help much but i doubt it. Just stick to the existing filter, unless yours is dirty and warped.

Just find a pod that has the same size diameter as the injen pipe. I think its 3"?
Best to take old one off and measure diameter to make sure.

lol its funny when people dont acctuly know about what they talkn bout.both of your cents are wrong.

any way there arnt really performance gains to be had by changing pods, but its concevable that deeper pleats on a given pod would yeild a longer service interval due to increased surface aria but i doubt it would make any diffrence really. honestly i think a pods a pod but its just kinda nice to have something of a quality item on the end of that expensive engine even if its a waste of money.

[an93l]

I woulda thought that a larger surface area would allow for intaking air faster.

Perhaps area of 4 will intake 4 units and 6 will intake 6 unit...then again the pipe is only so big ...zzz

I though ill add this to this thread. why you shouldnt get a CAI pipe.

1)
Running a CAI doesn't mean you will get hydrolock is just means that you cannot drive thru as deep water. Easily fixed by avoiding flooded roads or by not driving like an idiot thru water.Driving in wet weather, will cause slight ly damp filter. Causing more restriction

2)
Yes filter choice has little HP change on a NA application but tests have shown a higher flowing filter helps a FI set up. Plus some filters are better at filtering than others and therefore more reliable power.

The ideal setup for NA applications is a pressurized box with the pickup sitting in the cold air stream with a high flowing filter I.E. the Mugen style intake boxes. Exactly so why touch a CAI pipe. get a Dc2 box and go from there
