Installed an AEM CAI

Now, before you ask me where you can get an AEM CAI for the 1.8, let me tell you Use the AEM CAI for the 2000-2001 B15 SE (SR20 engine). The fit isn't exactly perfect, and you will have to drill holes in the MAF adapter to fit the smaller QG18DE MAF, but it is still a good bolt on.

I got mine from www.powertechimports.com he doesn't list everything he can get/sells on the website, so your best bet is to email him or call him, and tell him I sent you.


Thoughts:
Well since I already had the stock airbox out, it didn't take me as long. In general though, if you're patient, you don't need to follow the instructions, it's pretty easy to do. Took me maybe 30 mins because I was taking my time and enjoying the weather.
Power increases: Well, midrange feels better. definitely better on low end. The 2.5" midpipe should be good for maintaining velocity. Dyno should show 3-5whp or more.

Geez Mike, always telling people to buy what's made for our car to prove to the aftermarket that there is demand for parts and you go and do this....how can we follow your lead when you don't even follow your own advice

Did you happen to let the guys on b15sentra know yet. I haven't been able to get on as of late. Damn computers.
