J's racing intake. yay! i had a polished AEM but with my Jim fab cross member I couldn't use it anymore, so I sold it, and put a little more money into this one. Just thought I'd give it a try and since I can't run a CAI anymore I just went with this one.


mmmmmm JDM cardboard....


Odd shaped fella.


Carbon fiber, not carbon fiber look a like




If anyone knows. Do I really have to screw this into my pretty intake? I see now holes for this anwhere. I'm thinking of not even using it.

Let me know what you think.

 

Someone told me that is a "shoehorn"
But I had no problem getting the filter on my J's.....

 

Sure looks like some sort of mounting bracket to me?

 

Nice! How much did that set you back?

 

It is a mounting bracket for sure, I believe that you can bend it in sort of a U shape or
|__|------------ (<- poor illustration) on one end and put it under the hose clamp on the filter and then fasten the other side to a bolting location on the chassis(might require some more bending) to keep it secure. I have done it this way before and it works fine.

 

looks great, i didn't use that bracket on mine either. everything was stable without it

 

On my RS Akimoto intake I used to have, it had something similar. The short part of the metal fit underneith the metal hose clamp on the filter end, therefore holding it in place. And then you have the long metal peice sticking out, which bolts to the chassis where available.... ah ****, let me draw a pic.

lovely illustrations!

 

Thanks for the picture, while looking at it I was figured it would go one like you stated.

I'm gonna see how holds on without it. I'd rather not drill any more holes in engine bay, but if need be i will.


Well i took the intake and put it to my Ericks Racing throttle body. Tight fit but it went. Here some pix

 

Wow thats gorgeous, I'd like to see more pix of your car, or just parts at this point I guess

 

How much do these run?

 

Damn nice man! Wish i could have gotten the carbon one! oh well. I'll stick with mine for a while till i can bling a bit more. Right now, header and exhaust are on the list!

You will love the intake...throttle response is amazing.

Good stuff. The J's is way more than people think.
