Doing a search on here for the AEM CAI gives some conflicting results.

One question: I just want to know where is the cheapest place to get one for B14?

Thanks.

Thanks, but they wanted $290 shipped for it :eek:

Also they want about $50 more than Nis-Knacks wants for the B14 grille.

I installed the AEM and went from 14.9 @ 93 with the Hotshot to a 14.7 @ 94 with the AEM. And the tires were worst. So was the 60 ft. So I picked up more.

Sure it cut your time and all.. but I dumped mine for HS.. AEM is cool.. but I traded for HS plus cash... so I was not trippin.

Nothing is wrong with them. It's just I've had 2 Place Racings and 1 Hotshot.

There is a sensor on the side of the stock airbox, its a little sensor that has 2 screws holding it in, where does it go on a new intake. Is there a pre-cut place for it on the new intake or do you have to make one?

:D Sorry couldn't resist.....

You may be referring to is the temp sensor, and you don't really need it.

LMAO! DAMN I love those pictures. To answer your question, as storm mentioned, it is the air-temp sensor. I know that on my hotshot CAI, there is a small hole on the MAF adapter that it fits in to. Although it is looser than a dirty whore and always seems to come out. Right stiletto? :D I think we had this discussion earlier. I think on an older sentra though, the temp sensor goes into the second pipe, aka the cold air extension, right before it goes into the fender. I believe PR works this way also.

anyone know any online stores which cell the hotshot intake?

I took my air temp sensor and installed it. I cut a whole with a razor in one of the rubber connectors and drilled 2 holes for the small screws. I placed it just before the MAF. Worked perfect. I don't know if it makes a difference or not with or with out it. But if it's on the car why not use it? I know this is not the 4 sale forum but I have my old Hotshot CAI in the basement if someone want it. PM if interested.
And by the way I didn't notice a difference with my but dyno between the AEM & HS, but the trap speed said something different to me :-)

I made a mistake when getting my CAI. I bought it from Importpartsplus.com. LET ME TELL YOU, this place sucks too bad for me to ever do business w/ them again! It took exactly 5 weeks for me to get the intake. Thomassr20 had a similar problem with them also. Took 2-3months for his stillen lip to get in from importpartsplus. Waste of my money and time also. Bought express delivery, still took 5 days to get here from their place once it was finally shipped. DAMN YOU IMPORTPARTSPLUS!!!
