i was looking around for a short ram intake for a 1990 240sx and it appears that that dont make one for my year.if i want to fab one i have to relocate my battery and i dont feel like doing that. if anyone has any suggestion it would help me out

PDM has a set of injen's for your car i believe. Not the best price, but it's available.. just look harder.

also... i assume you have a ka24e since it's a 90... why is your sn de?

Probably wants to swap it.

yea i wouldnt bother wasting money on an intake if your going to swap. I mean that extra 1 hp isnt going to do much.

then again you could make a filter for $30.. which as far as i'm concerned won't put a dent in the swap account.. ka24de, find a 3" inlet filter on ebay for $5, then buy pvc piping (if you really want to go cheap) at 3" i believe and it should fit right on the intake manifold. the sensors will have to be done properly too so make sure you know what you take out of the old intake

PVC piping intakes are bad for the engine

as they heat up in the bay the break down internally into gases/particles that are damaging to the engine, there is this one type of pipe you can get at some autoparts stores its black can't remember the name

if you want to swap or turbo, you be better off going with the 3" filter idea

all he asked for is an intake. pvc piping will work for that cause its not encountering any heat whatsoever. thats the cheapest way to go. the next best thing is that black piping. myself, i wouldn't do anything else than go to www.atpturbo.com and buy their piping. but it costs more ($18/2feet)

Ram Air will most likely screw with the MAF... SCC had that problem on their 300ZX
