Are their any differences besides the brand, I just bought a fujita because the price was cheaper but am regretting that I should not of tried to save money and just gotten the injen. if money was not the issue, should I get the injen. Or should I just chill and not go through the hassle of selling this fujita and getting a injen.

Bought the fujita cai used by the way.

How about some reviews or experiences on the fujita and injen cai.

 

a CAI is a CAI a SRI or a CAI it don't matter the brand name or no name they all serve the same purpose and perform the same function. it's just a mandrel bent tube to fit your car. You could of got a cheap ebay intake and wouldn't of felt any difference with a name brand. An SRI outperforms a CAI and is more safe then a CAI anyways. But if you have money to spend and it eats you on the inside to buy a name brand intake.. have a ball.

 

I was following and agreeing with everything you said but then you said a short ram intake outperforms a cold air intake, then I just lost all respect for what you said.

CAI>SRI

dyno sheets have proven that a SRI can outperform CAI.

CAI&gt;SRI

Its a fact. Dyno sheets dont lie. </TD></TR></TABLE>

O RLY? An inaccurate dyno can lie

Ive seen it on both sides. Sometimes an SRI will make more power and sometimes a CAI will.

Both need to read the link i posted.. I'm pretty sure a huge company like clubrsx wouldn't lie about the facts especially being as they tested it 2 times. So with that being said, the dyno has lied all 2 times? bit odd if you ask me. 2 times dyno just "magicly" lied... 2 times. and 7 different runs.... hmm..... poor excuse

if you think about it logicly and how air travels and loses degrees of air for each bend or restriction, you'd understand why the SRI outperforms a CAI.

Isnt it true that colder air would bring more hp? Also, after driving 2 hours on a 90 degree day its got to be really hot in that engine bay, do you not agree that the hot air being sucked in from the SRI could actually cause the car to loose hp VS a cai where it draws in much cooler air?

Also, I looked at the link with the intake shootout. It has no comparison to Injen sri to injen cai. However it does have Injen SRI to AEM cai and AEM SRI.
But we know injen has better intakes than aem.
Now if you show me a Injen CAI vs a Injen SRI and show me that the SRI has more hp. Then your solid.

T
Not arguing just throwing some scenarios out their.

 

but now we have gone way off topic between the Fujita and Injen CAI... Still looking for some responses out their. THanks.

 

whatever you have keep it.. didn't really make a bad choice going for the cheaper one. Hope it doesn't rain a lot where you live, cuz hydrolock sucks.

When i found out my car came with a CAI first thing i did was get rid of it.

 

"cold air" is referred to a lot as just a gimmick used to sell the product. Theoretically, after ~20mph under the hood temps are not much hotter than where the location of the filter is at on the CAI. And when on the dyno, the car isnt moving.

they have a huge fan for that but does not imitate 30+ mph winds or anything like that so i understand your theory. But Fact: air loses it's velocity and degree for every restriction and distance it has to travel.

What does that mean, the car inst moving? The car's temps still rise. Where did you get this info from, that its a gimmick?

So your sitting at a stop light with no a/c, the windows rolled down, and its hot (i.e. 100+ degrees). Would you agree that after you get moving, it feels much better? Having just air come out of your vents wouldnt be enough just as the fan used on the dyno.

Thats all I can come up with at the moment lol.

 

nice analogy.

 

fujita and the injen cold-air are the same thing
i used to have injen in my last rsx and i have fujita now

i say get fujita because its cheaper
that's pretty much the only reason

and i perfer a cai over sri only because that's what hondata recommends with k-pro (or their other reflashes)

 

couldnt of asked for it any better.

 

CAI's really do not provide much of an increase over a short ram.....some dont provide any....also with the CAI you run the risk of getting water in the engine if you hit a large puddle while driving....I would stick with a basic intake...password makes a good intake for a decent price

 

ive researched this **** for the last week everyday.. SRI for dc5 outperforms CAI only by a couple hp, i saw dyno sheets and the SRI numbers degressed and eventually underperformed. the CAI had steady results. but i live in seattle washington, and my cars gonna **** if i keep using my injen CAI, waited 2 weeks to get it installed it, 2 days later i hve to take it off cuz its pouring rain, so SRI FTW

 

by 2 hp.. so you'd rather sacrafice money, risk of hydrolock because the SRI lost 2 hp.

Hey, you got the money to blow away on a new motor, brand new CAI name brand.. have a ball. I can tell you tho, the motor wont be covered under warranty because of the CAI that sucked up the water. Have fun with that one all because you wanted 2 more hp even tho the SRI still performs better then the CAI. tsk tsk.

Don't need to say anything after that.

 

what if i told you i live in sunny san diego?

 

what if i told you.. i can see that under your avatar and i know it still rains there.
all it takes is that one time.

im no NA guy but doesnt fujita make injen? or design there intakes?

but before my install i compared the two

the fujita piping is identical to the aem cai
just the coating and filter was different
the aem dryflow filter is on its own level where as the fujita and injen have similar (but not exact) filters
i love the wrinkle black coating btw

 

First of all, your intake will not take in enough water to hydrolock your engine just from driving in the rain. I have the AEM V2 on my Accord and i DD that and have never had any trouble in the rain. My engine did hydrolock tho in the parking lot at my job when the river flooded out. I tried to move the car to higher ground, was driving it across the road when the road dipped down and submerged the intake. Almost instantaneously I lost power and my engine was done. you can also get a Bypass from AEM( I think it will cost you around $35), if youre really worried about it. Either way you go, 2 hp isnt that big of a deal. But, it is your money, and your car. Its really your decision. I have the AEM V2 on my Honda and the Injen SRI on my Acura, and they both perform well.
