I have brand new one you can buy from me for $30+ shipping, but shipping to Barbados would cost you about $20 to get it there in 4-10 days, the cheapest shipping is about $11 for 4-6 week delivery time. It's a cone filter and intake adapter and gasket. Here's a pic:

You'd probably be better off buying one elsewhere they might be able to do cheaper shipping than me. You can find them on eBay all the time, otherwise there's various vendors who sell them. Just use an internet search engine and you should find plenty of them.

Yeah, you have to go through a HUGE puddle to suck in water... i live in seattle and i drive it all through the rainy season (september-march). You should be fine in rainy weather.

Dosen`t a sports filter like that one above, which will not have an air box suck up all the hot air from the engine?

You Betcha! Most people still see a little gain from one though.

I´ve heard that the sunny has a great front bumper, I saw it on a picture from a club from Puerto Rico, I dont know if you have something similar to that bumper, and know where I can find it....

here is the picture

Think its possible to get one of those from Autozone? What would I ask for and around how much? Is the MAF adapter specific to nissan or is it a general adapter?

You could get one from autozone but I think it might cost more. The adapter could be general but I'd have no way of knowing.

BTW you could have your car faster than a SRT-4 for less than $10K.

Maybe I will take the chance and get one off of Ebay.

My B13 Sentra LE? My sig was just a lame attempt to make fun of The Fast and Furios. Although I am curious as to how to make it faster than an SRT-4

The one I bought would work on your car, so just buy one for the right year sentra, it doesn't matter what engine you've got, the MAF footprint is the same. I think I got mine for like $35 shipped. Although the adapter is plastic, that's kind of a nice thing, it doesn't allow for a thermal transfer from the MAF to the intake to filter piping. I'm going to keep mine and use it. The filter is pretty nice as well.

As far as the sig thing goes, I've never seen that movie so you'll have to excuse my chosen ignorance.

But you could swap a GTI-R into your car, turn right around and sell the TMIC, piping, turbo and manifold and buy something like a GT3037 to bolt on there, equal length manifold, a good FMIC, piping, silicone connectors, a Z32 MAF, put a 3" custom SS exhaust on, underdrive pullies, a lightweight flywheel, a S-AFC, S3 cams, electronic boost controller, port everything you can and have it swain tech coated and whomp on the SRT-4 and do it all for under $10K. If you did all the work yourself that you can and don't overpay for your parts you could likely do it for close to $5K.

Wow, to bad I am not to mechanicly inclined.

Doggy Daddy · Feb 21st, 2003, 06:14 AM

Is this gain from the filter extra power that you can feel?
