Now She Can Breathe Easier
For you car nuts, I just received a brand new Fujita Cold Air Intake for my Maxima. The black wrinkled finish matches the rest of the car. But besdies being aesthetically pleasing, this thing has been dynoed to add 14-17 hp…to the wheels. That’s alot for an intake on a V6. But, I quickly found out that it could very well be the case after I disassembled the stock intake. There were so many boxes, resonators, pipes, etc that it required that I jack up the car, and remove the bumper…well, the fender well lining. After about an hour, I had a new intake.
I immediately took it for a spin. While the butt dyno results weren’t as noticeable as I thought with the supposed horsepower increase, it sounds pretty darn wicked in the top of the RPM band. Luckily, it still preserves some of the considerate sound levels during normal driving. Anyway, just thought I’d share.

Nice! Any idea how well they compare to K&N’s products?

Well, the filter is essentially a K&N cone filter. The piping and bracket pieces are the parts that are Fujita. K&N drop in filters are no match for this type of setup. Air is still restricted by all of the boxes and resonators.

Do you really get an increase of 17 bhp…
thats pretty amazing for the addition of a simple product..

It is. I’m a little skeptical, but 4 dyno runs have revealed those numbers. Beyond that, it is very difficult to squeeze anymore power (within reason…pricewise) out of that engine. Catback is like 8whp, ported intake is like 10whp…etc.
