I find it hard to believe Injen's dyno results. I own one, still uninstalled, (where are my damned blue silicone couplings?!) but I think that you'd be lucky to get an increase of 18hp at the engine, much less the wheels considering drive train losses. I wish I had my couplings, a litle time to install, and access to a dyno. I'd actually get some concrete results. Working on all three though.

The gains on the Injen may be greater, but most likely only by a small margin. The claims I've read of 7-10 on the boards seem more closely grounded in reality. Then again...I won't know for sure until mine's installed or someone posts a dyno at very least.

 

I agree with Hobie...the only Injen result I've seen with 18WHP was with their RSX intake. The RSX's K20 (or K18?) engine is already pretty damn efficient let alone adding an intake only makes it more so, considering the pics I've seen of the stock intake box vs. Injen's "short" ram design tucked in the cold air box in the engine compartment.

 

THis is no personal attack. Of course dynoed car is a turbo. That was my point. Filters don't make power!!! They allow power to be made. You don't understand stuff because you take it personally. I am just saying the same stuff you do, but with bang for the buck in mind. You get all jumpy and list a bunch of **** you don't have to make yourself look like some kind of expert that you are not. Black and white? Next time don't be so sensitive.

 

Stop it you two. Jesus...

 

Again, I'm going down the points of your response so as not to be confusing.

Once again, I'm not talking about filters at all, but filter placement.

Secondly, if you are inferring I'm just making stuff up, where is your backing? I read about the Injen intake in one of the new product line ups in Sport Compact, and no, it was not for the RSX, which I understand is a totally different animal.

I have never pretended to be an expert. In fact, I have said many of times that I don't know something so that I can get the information on it. What I am saying here is something I consider fairly concrete, or else I wouldn't talk about it. This is something I feel I have collected enough information over to at least have an opinion over. Have you even collected any information, or are you defending the design because you own it?

 

What intake system fits automatic lancers?? I know it's a dumb question but I'm new to this kind of stuff. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

 

The RRM and RMR short rams both fit autos. The Injen CAI does not. I'm not certain about Weapon R. ...and straight up filter replacements definitely work.

 

I just got an injen cold air intake system and its awesome and as my opinion you guys should get it. You get to feel the power at around 3500 rpm through 6000. it roars.

 

I know Injen doesn't make an intake for the automatic lancers. I emailed them asking if they will and he said:

"We still need to prototype the automatic 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer. If you are in the area and if you are interested, please let me know."

Quick...somebody go there and talk to em'
I would but I'm deployed in the Middle East

 

RRM will fit automatic.

I'm about to purchase an intake from either RMR or RRM . . . . . I love the new RRM CF shield, and the price as well - - - at this point the only difference between the two intakes is the size of the filter? is that going to really make any difference at all? because I'd much rather go with the RRM for 150 than the RMR for 175 . . . . it's a no brainer, but if the bigger filter is worth the extra 25 bucks then I'll go that route . . . . . is it worth it??

 

We make 400 h.p. (on turbo Eclipses)using the same filter.

Yeah, but you cheated by turbocharging.

I'd say get the RRM and save yourself the possible hassle of getting the RMR personally. And if you don't think the filter's big enough...Buy a bigger K&N cone that'll fit. I think the cone on my Injen is actually smaller than the RRM just from the looks of things, but the gains are noticable and no one with an RRM short ram has complained once yet. ...No one with an RMR has either...I'm just sayin'....

 

In total agreement with Hobie. Never heard a bad word about the short ram... but, I must emphasize one point. I don't say this because I have it, as is the tendancy of some people, but because this is WHY I bought this. To get the maximum potential of the short ram, the vent is necessary. And, power gains are somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-8 hp even with the vent. Now, really, the Injen and similar CAIs are noted for about 8-14 at the wheels, which, if you feel the intake is restricted, open up the grill a little, not punch a hole in your hood. I personally think the hood looks meaner with the duct, but, as far as making it necessary for performance... I'm not so keen on the idea. In any case, I'm behind the Injen 100%. The short rams are a little lower on price, and a good value, and easier to install.

Though, if you have an automatic... that sucks that they really have you shut down to one choice, though, I know alot of people who think that is the best choice in the first place. I'll stop rambling.

 

Have nothing against Injen. Please though. Don't believe the claims on the box. I have real issue with that. N.A. motor is still only going to draw in what it wants as far as air goes. Claim may be "capable of" 8-14 h.p. I'll bet it alone does not do that. Think about it and you will realize the same thing.
