Injen CAI clarification - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

tripplediamonds23 · May 2nd, 2011, 08:57 PM

I was reading on here awhile ago about the Injen CAI that can convert to a SRI. For some reason i cant find that thread again and when i went onto the Injen website i was a little confused by the different model intakes. What i want to know is:

1) which Injen intake is the convert able one exactly(i have a auto GS)?
2) Is it somewhat simple to convert CAI to SRI and back again? basically can i do this in my drive way or a parking lot in a decent amount of time if i keep the necessary tools in the car in case i feel that it might pour at some point in the day, some roads where i live can get pretty bad when it rains.

ive drove with my fujita through 4" puddles... your alright bro

anyway if im not mistaken the Injen for the GS all convert. and again. if im not mistaken. all you need is a screw driver. unscrew the pipe clamp around the one pipe, unscrew the filter. put the filter on the edge of the short pipe and your good to go

tripplediamonds23 · May 2nd, 2011, 10:07 PM

so the short ram autocityimports has can convert to the CAI then? thanks a lot for the reply.

Daxenth · May 2nd, 2011, 10:11 PM

the short ram can if you can get the longer pipe made. or spring for the CAI. and if worst comes to worst and its all one pipe. get a rubber hose... thingy.. idk what theyre called and get yourself 2 3" hose clamps. cut the CAI where the SRI would be. and slip the rubber thing on and the clamps. done.

The dc sport Cai and fujita will convert if you cut them in half and put the hose in between. Same stuff

tripplediamonds23 · May 3rd, 2011, 05:28 PM

yeah i probably do the cut thing with it for which ever one i get. Dustin do you know how good the dc sport CAI is? i haven't heard much about it, i know the fujita is pretty reliable, well at least for the GS.

gspower · May 3rd, 2011, 05:35 PM

fujita for the gs is non existent. if u want cold air go with DC i have one on order. injen cai COULD fit an auto according to reports. but thats your own risk.

tripplediamonds23 · May 3rd, 2011, 08:22 PM

yeah i was wondering about the injen since it only said manual for the 4clyinder, ill defiantly look into the DC.

I just helped a member on here put a injen cai on his auto. The pipe touches your auto tranny fluid holder and coolant reservoir so we put some heat tape around the pipe on those spots and its perfect.

I haven't messed with that brand but in the end, Its all aluminum piping and it comes down to figment n such.
Looks great from what ive seen so far.

all aluminum piping yes,but length and diameter allso plays a factor

yeah ive been reading the thread that evolved into discussion about the DC intake since the fujita one is back ordered and such. the DC one looks promising.
