ve intakes

JDM_2ner · 07-01-2002, 03:38 PM

Well after doing some research through the search, se-r.net, sentra.net, and some other various nissan pages I still canmot decide what i think the best intake for the SR20VE is. currently now i am still using my de, and i have a JWT pop, but want to get a cai that will be the best for my upcoming ve motor. The aem has 2.5" piping which is adequately sized for a de (and tuned for one), i dont know if this will choke a ve as compared to a 3" pipe provided by the PR cai. the downside to the PR is the aem has better quality. I am leaning towards going weith the pr combined with my pop for the best possible results, which was also recommended by mike kojima i think before the aem came out.

anyway, i will probably end up dyno'ing both the aem and PR/pop cai's, but i just want to know what all you ve guys(and girls) think.

thanks, steve

Get the Place Racing. AEM uses 3 inch tubing on the RSX Type S and on the other ITR engines. I would not use the 2.5 inch AEM for this reason.

Go with a 3 inch tube. The VE MAF is roughly 3 inches on both sides unlike the DE which necks down to a smaller size on one end.

To use the VE MAF you will need the MAF adapter for a maxima. It will say "NISMAF02" on it.

Anyone know where i can get the maxima MAF adapter?

From Place Racing. Don't buy the hotshot one. It's crap. Notice I didn't say IMHO.

k. thanks for all the useful info steve.

I agree the Place Racing one is best.

the people at PR seem to be pretty nice too. sr20development makes one too. its not too bad either.

well, finally got my PR catalog today. the cai's themselves look good, but the filters look like just plain shiat. Is their anyway i can connect my POP to the intake? a special adapter? I know some of you will say it's a waste of money.............so don't.

CNibbana · 09-02-2002, 09:07 PM

You can use your POP filter which will work with the adaptor or you can do what I did and just go and buy a K&N filter similar to what the other CAIs use.

I personally don't like the foam filter Place Racing is using either. Last time I bought a CAI from PR it came with a better filter but I guess things have changed a bit.

can i use the velocity stack-air horn w/ the ca setup? will i need another maxima MAF adapter plate for it??

If you have a DE POP, then use the DE adapter. If you already have a CAI, use the MAF adapter that comes with the intake, to connect the POP to the intake. Use the Maxima adapter to connect the VE MAF to the intake.

JDM_2ner · 09-03-2002, 09:23 PM

i was just thinking that the de adapter will choke the 3" intake. If it was for a NA de it wouldnt matter. thats the whole reason for using the maxiam MAF adapter, right?
