Cold air intake on the NISMO Versa

[@MrBobby8228]

Did you have to change the mass airflow sensor, or did the stock one work?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

The stock one fits right in. It is a pretty nice kit and it has held up really well. No issues after more than a year now.

[@Zaitendo]

This is really cool, but I was curious, since the intake is now a lot lower to the ground then the stock one. Do you have any issue's with water from rain, or from a big puddle on the road being sucked up from the new intake?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I haven't had any issues so far. Where the filter sits is tucked in between the bumper cover and the inner fender plastics. It is pretty dry there.

[@JohnSmith-r6v]

@@RideauValleyMotorsports but is it reliable through heavy weather conditions ?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

@@JohnSmith-r6v I have never had a problem with it. Where I live we get severe winter and lots of huge puddles in the spring. Never had any issues with it.

[@syedmohammadtaqi_]

What is the complete name of the intake pipe and will it fit in my Nissan Tiida 2008 Model Japani Specs?

[@kasserole6269]

nissan tiida is the same as versa, just called different in some regions

Hello friends, shipping is brasil ? Nissan tiida 2013

[@danieljernigan8573]

Could u put a link to the exact intake system u have? I have a Nissan Versa 2012 1.8 and I wanna do this

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

www.amazon.ca/DC-Sports-CAI1207-Polished-Installation/dp/B004OVBWGC This is the one I bought. I think it should fit he 2012 Versa, too. I believe they are the same from 2007 to 2012.

[@Trinichoko93]

I would love to hear the difference in sound

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I did an update video with the camera in the engine bay. It is pretty great sounding, even after a couple of years of hard use. I never recorded the before sound, unfortunately, but it was really quiet.

[@TheLabVan]

Would this work on a 1.6 note?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I'm not sure, but it might. The intake routing looks similar. They are a different chassis though, so it might not have the same holes and mounting points as the older Versas.

[@noctambule9032]

Did you ever experience any issues with your car running lean? Did you ever get your car tuned after install?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

No, it doesn't seem to be running lean. I didn't get it tuned, but it does use the stock air flow sensor. Maybe I'll hook it up to the scanner and see if there is any indication of a lean condition.

[@mattdavis6782]

Can you tell me what this is meant to be connected to

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

It replaces the factory air box (where your air filter is located) and connects to the throttle body. There are spots for the sensors and tubes that are part of the factory air box.

[@mattdavis6782]

@Rideau Valley Motorsports thanks, could you tell me, if the car will run if the evap purge valve is not connected?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

@@mattdavis6782 I'm not sure. It will almost certainly cause a check engine light to come on.

[@jonathandcc23]

i have a stock battery, im new as hell, would i have to get a more powerful battery if im installing newer/better parts like this?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

Welcome! Nah, mods like this shouldn't require a new battery. I am also running the stock battery. No issues. Good luck!

[@jonathandcc23]

@@RideauValleyMotorsports do i have to get a mechanic to do any re-calibration to the computer for the new air intake method?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

@@jonathandcc23 I didn't have anything recalibrated. There is a possibility that it will run a bit lean, but I haven't had in any problems in nearly three years now.

[@interestangz6668]

what year versa

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

It's a 2007 with a 1.8L and 6 speed MT. Pretty decent commuter car. The CAI is still going strong like 3 years later. Thanks for watching!

[@lildoorknobb5954]

do you have a link to purchase this?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

No, I don't. It seems like this kit is no longer available. Not surprising as the Versa isn't terribly popular these days.

[@kews1papanuifynest543]

Any link for the kit

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

The kit doesn't seem to be available any longer. It was from DC Sports though.

[@Eduardo-nq8jx]

where did you get the CAI, i looking for one

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I got this one on Amazon.ca, but it seems like they might not be available anymore. I'd say check eBay or the DC Sports website. Good luck!

[@tacraheennc9719]

Does your car perform better

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

It seems to. I haven't dynoed it or anything, but when the variable valve timing kicks in there seems to be a noticeable increase in power. It is also cold AF where I am right now so that seems to help too - extra cold air!

[@ramizreddy6394]

Could you possibly give size of the cone filter? And a video of how it sounds please

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I hope to do another video on this car soon!

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

Hey Ramiz Reddy, just posted a video with some intake sounds.

[@Smokeiescall]

After installing cold air intake I started my car to test it but my just turned off in seconds. Any idea why?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

Double check the wiring connections for the air flow sensor. Could be something to do with that. If the ECM can't accurately gauge how much air is coming in, it may not idle right. Could be a safety feature to keep it from running too lean. I had a Ford Probe that would do that. Turned out there was a tear in the rubber that was letting a whole bunch of unmetered air in. It would just die. Double check that everything is attached correctly.

[@Smokeiescall]

@@RideauValleyMotorsports Even it’ll work when I put the stock one on though

[@ughhhh525]

What is the year/model of your versa?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

It is a 2007 Versa S hatchback. Currently has the 1.8L engine with a 6 speed manual transmission. I'm looking into getting a 2.0 L from a Sentra for it.

[@Yanbrymenocu]

@@RideauValleyMotorsports oh same as mine its 07 Nissan versa hatchback too but my cold air intake is AEM Brand😊

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

@@Yanbrymenocu Nice! I was looking at those, too.

[@Yanbrymenocu]

@@RideauValleyMotorsports ahm do you know the reason why po441 code is show up on dashboard because sometimes it's shows up on my dashboard board I changed my vapor charcoal canister and vapor canister valve and still pops up

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

@@Yanbrymenocu Hmm, not sure. It could be as simple as you need a new gas cap or it could be the solenoids that control the evap system are done, too. I usually start trying the cheapest fixes first. Lol. Good luck!

[@RealIcemansmooth]

Did it actually do anything?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

Haha, not too sure. It sounds pretty cool though. The butt dyno says that it worked.

[@jolinagalera862]

At what speeds does it start to make that noise?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

It depends more on the RPM than the speed. These MR engines have variable valve timing (VVT ... kind of like Honda's VTEC) and it seems to kick in around 5000-5500 RPM. That is where it starts to sound like that! Accelerating onto an on-ramp is the best with this setup. It sounds really good even though I'm not going terribly fast.

[@soultheory8441]

Do you think you could provide a link for where you purchased it? I’m having a hard time finding one that will fit the versa, also would any intake fit if you adjusted it?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

So, I just checked my old order from Amazon and it is listed as unavailable. I also checked the DC Sport website and it is no longer listed there. There are universal kits that can be bought, but I have never used one myself. I imagine you would probably have to modify it a bit. Maybe see what eBay has to offer?

[@abxsed7709]

I have a 1.6l engine instead of the 1.8 will it still fit under the hood they look basically the same

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I don't know ... the kit I got is specific to the 2007 to 2012 1.8L. What year is yours? My GF has the 2014 Versa with the 1.6 and everything looks to be routed differently under there.

[@abxsed7709]

@@RideauValleyMotorsports I have a 2011

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

@@abxsed7709 I checked on Amazon (I put a link to the kit in an earlier comment) and someone in the reviews said that it fit the 1.6L in the 2007-2012 Versa. Maybe double check the comments, but looks like it works. I believe that the 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 litre engines are all the same basic configuration. I was concerned that if you had a different year that the routing for the tubes wouldn't be the same.

[@AziziMatYatim-vv4ju]

Good info bos

[@avierthorpe627]

Hey how can I contact you

[@2kdiiip]

Would this work on a Nissan Versa sedan?

[@RideauValleyMotorsports]

I think it should work. The front half of the sedan and hatchback seem to be identical. It is a pretty simple project and it sounds great! Good luck.

[@corwinharper8763]

Will this intake work on my 19 versa

This one is only good for the 2007-2012 Versa. There is probably a kit available though. DC Sports makes tons of kits for many different cars.
