Hey all, just finished my ghetto CAI for my '93 sentra xe.
Thank God for dremels.
Took a civic pipe and ran it through that little hole (made it bigger thanks to the dremel) to the right of the battery, and then fit the pipe into some of that plastic extension hose stuff. Definetly an increase in power, I could barely chirp the tires shifting into 2nd, but now i can hold it a bit longer. Sounds a lot nicer than stock. I woulda spent the extra $150 on a hotshot, but i'm losing the car to my brother after the summer, so i went cheap.

Yeah you gotta put up some pics! I wanna see this. If it looks good enough, might try it and get a few hp 4 cheap.
First take out all of the stock filter crap.
Basically I bought an adapter to fit onto the air flow sensor, clamped the hose onto the adapter, chopped the extension hose in half, cut about 4 in. off the pipe, connected the pipe to the extension hose, fit the pipe through the dremeled hole to the right of the battery (had to dremel a bit of the battery stand to make it fit...that stuff is a bitch to dremel through, used 3 bits on just that part) and have the filter sitting nicely in the fender well.
And to get more airflow to the filter, I cut off the plastic debris blocker at the bottom of the fender. I was a little hesitant at first, but so far I haven't had any problems that resulted from cutting it.
Also lost about 5 pounds from taking the stock parts off.
