Cold Air Intake

[ILuvDetailing]

Niky: 2.0 sakin well anyway thats beside the point. Well if there's only a 1HP gain for the dropin K&N I think am sticking with the OEM for only 300++ bucks or maybe get a CAI down the road.

A CAI would be very easy to fabricate for the X-Trail, but it will take away from your water-fording capabilities (the primary reason to buy a CUV over a sedan).

For more power/efficiency, the best bang-for-buck is still a good set of headers. You just have to insulate them afterwards to make sure they don't make your engine bay too hot.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind. :D

thanx niky! clearly said..

Stock nlang ako. :lol:

question lang po? paano naging cold air intake yung mga racing filter kung nakaexposed din sila sa loob ng hood? iniisip ko lang kasi yung mga nakikita ko racing filter nalalanghap nila yung init ng makina especially sa traffic... hindi ba ito masama sa makina?

Wala sa sa loob ng engine bay! kadalasan ang filter ng cold air intake eh nakalagay sa may bumper

[niky]

Yung nasa loob ng bay, ang tawag doon Warm Air Intake, basically, cone filter lang either with or without aftermarket tube.

And yes, it really sucks in traffic. If you put one on, you have to make the tube as long as possible, and keep the filter as far as possible from the engine. A heat shield helps some, but after an hour in traffic, it's all the same.

No, it's not necessarily bad for the engine to ingest hot air, considering the engine runs much hotter than ambient temperatures, but the engine will make much less power once heat soak sets in.

sorry to revive this thread - highly considering having CAI installed on my car - unfortunately Fusion R is too far from my place. Does anyone know where I can source one out here in the South / Makati area? And magkano na kaya ang aabutin ngayon ng install assuming all-stock pa ang mechanicals (air filter included)?

EDIT: will be requiring the heat shield and bypass valves as well in the install.

for what car? intakes are almost all the same.

Hi po hindi po kasi ako makapagstart ng thread actually wala naman ako masyado alam sa Car I drive my husbands car unfortunately sumabit yung bumper sa malaking bato kaya natupi yun left side na ilalim ng bumper can somebody suggest if san may affordable na restoration for our Porshac ( car ) accent. Thank you, your reply will be much appreciated.

Salamat ng marami.

to drop intake air temperature without having to compromise the possibility of the engine ingesting large doses of water in the rain or flood, you can have an extension of the suction side hose between the connection at the firewall and the compressor low side. an aluminum coil or loop inside the intake tube will drop the intake air charge a few degrees fahrenheit. taking advantage of the residual "coldness" of the refrigerant before it returns back to the compressor does not take up energy.
