Quickly Clarified - Cold Air Intakes vs Short Ram Intakes

If you’ve seen any of those "Top 5 first modifications for your car" videos, you may have heard of the term “cold air intake” or “short ram intake” before, but what exactly are they? In this video, we’ll be going over what exactly is a cold air intake, and a short ram intake, as well as their differences and more importantly, which one you should get for your car.
(REUPLOAD DUE TO MISTAKE IN THE VIDEO)

[@squirtcobain8460]

Another disadvantage to certain CAI systems is that the air filter is placed so low on the car that it is recommended not to drive in the rain because driving through puddles deeper than 6 or 8 inches can cause the filter to consume water and hydro lock the engine. Depending on the options it may be better to pick an SRI if you live in an area where it rains constantly.

[@JCMediaYT]

I think this is dependent on the car and design of the CAI as I have a CAI on my lowered STi and live in a tropical country with lots of rain and its been fine but I get what you mean! Pinned your comment.

[@mdavid7149]

I bought an 06 tsx auto with a cold air intake plus tune. It's legit but horrible IMO so I'm in the process of detuning this car back to stock

[@rjaybruhh]

*_There is also like a bag that goes over to help prevent most of the water / other debrees, but yeah I'll be paranoid when I get mine installed on my 97 Ek Hatch 🥹_*

I almost destroyed my car because I made a custom CAI. Thankfully spraying my MAF and driving low and slow melted the water out. Scary

i have a 6-6 coupe and i’m thinking about getting a intake should i go SRI or CAI and can you explain why

[@JigglysRvNg]

@@2realltj if it rains alot where you live and theres big puddles id go SRI to not get hydrolocked, but SRI’ tend to heat soak after sitting for awhile, your car might feel slower, but if its dry or not too rainy get the CAI, gives most power between the two to my knowledge

[@bassw1758]

They can make a big difference, I made a ram air intake for my 2020 Nissan Kicks made a very noticeable difference. Depends on where in the engine bay it's located. On mine it's almost right in front of the grill and then I took out some of the plastic allowing even more air flow into the engine bay. A lot of times allowing fresh air into the engine bay will do more than putting one of those heat shields.

[@MrReivn]

Cold air intake can be implemented by ducting the hood, like in the Subary near the end of this video. You can ditch the original filter box, shorten the piping, and just allowing the air to enter through the hood. Ofc you need to take into consideration what the pressure zones are, underpressure near the front lip of the hood is great for hot air exit, but bad for taking in fresh air. Further back it tends to turn into overpressure, than can be great for taking in fresh air if your intake manifold is on that side of the engine.

[@PhxSt0rmz]

My options for my car is either a cold-air intake that has an exposed filter but an aluminum heatshield around it ( Sides facing engine ) VS Exact same filter/placement/piping but fully enclosed with plastic aside the vent. So filter and tubing is the exact same length. Just 6" length of silicon and the filter. But its just picking between the louder option ( exposed filter ) vs the presumably cooler option ( fully enclosed ). Living in the salty world that is a winter state ( Michigan ) I tend to imagine the filter being open/exposed is far more maintenance than the enclosed one.

[@JCMediaYT]

Oh yeah, I totally get your point. It's definitely down to preference and the conditions/environment your car will be in. For instance I doubt they'd use an open filter on a rally car lol. I personally live in a tropical climate so running an exposed filter + intake duct is fine for most of the time except during the monsoon season. Gotta be careful with puddles and I usually block off the intake duct to prevent any water getting in the intake.

[@anthonydefr]

I have one that is in closed with heat shield on the inside of box. This is on a much older car but I like it. 04 Impala SS. Maybe I'll put some heat shield on the out side of box as well. I haven't seen any gains but it looks better and you hear the air. It may gain some torque but no noticeable horsepower and maybe a little better gas mileage but not much. It's a easy job

[@Useless_Yuki]

the fun thing with a Nissan Micra k11 is that you can fit a cone filter directly on the throttle body without having to cut the hood, thus making the shortest possible ram intake. its also placed on the centerline of the hood so it works well with a hood scoop. xD

Like i had to remind someone, haters think that companies, waste thousands if not millions of dollars, developing, testing, and marketing proven results from short ram intakes. They think if you're not as fast as a 5.0 Mustang instantaneously, its a waste of money and time. Like getting 7 to 10 more horses to the crank, and better throttle response means nothing. Haters hate for the sake of just hating. There's one in every crowd..

I would reconmend Short Ram Intakes #1 cost less #2 less weight (most of your efficacy gain racing or normal driving is with weight over hp ) #3 fewer parts/things to go wrong. #4 usually the air is drier (less oxidation in the engine) #5 You can get more MPG... combo of #2 less weight + with adding filter medium (like prefilter or even socks) or even a restrictor or venturi = more bottom end throttle response and MPG.

The exhaust is actually pretty mild with a nice low tone no rasp. Switched out the high flow with an oem like caravan cat. Anyway, I bought the van exhaustless, I was a broke boy, and Amazon was clutch with the sales. Oem did not look worth. Also I usually get 30mpg on the highway and 25 combined, so I guess all those straight through resonators paired with the short ram made it more efficient.

Medium volume? No Complex piping? Definitely not... very simple actually Heavier? Maybe... if you get the aluminum pipe like mine--worth it though I drove it around the block after install and, going from stock to CAI, helluva difference. The sound, of course, but the power from the much improved intake was very pronounced.

I guess at that point it's kind of just down to how you define the two systems. Regardless, any kind of intake that gets fresh air from the outside and has some kind of barrier to shield it from the engine bay air will perform the best (apart from a direct headlight intake duct).

What about fuel consumption? Will it increase or decrease by sri or cai?

since SRI may decrease performance, you might experience decreased fuel consumption too whereas the CAI gets more consistent performance, so it may or may not improve. Your experience will definitely vary depending on your car though

Should be pretty easy to fabricate one, big engine compartment, small engine, on Amazon they sell mass airflow sensor adapters for Nissans, after that plug a k&n Cone filter and make a bracket for support. I had to fabricate a sort ram intake for my 2020 Kicks(no one sells one) made a big difference, I took some of the plastic out on the grill to get more air into the engine compartment.

[@Twitchguy]

Yes there’s even direct bolt in kits but most are only short ram intake. A true cold air takes some custom piping. If you’re looking for serious performance increase spend the money on the custom cold air intake but if you’re just looking for a cheap easy boost, better sound, & slightly better fuel economy the bolt In short ram is more than adequate. If you do install one you need to clean & may even need to replace the mass airflow sensor and be ready for the car to run rough for the first 25-50 miles while the air intake sensor & engine computer sync with the increase in airflow from the intake upgrade. Overall it’s a very good upgrade for Nissans all around and worth it

Couldn’t be further from the truth.

[@JohnBoulding]

​@@keiranlambert5948believe what you want but the "gains" claimed by intake makers are usually within the margin of error of a Dyno. Claims over those numbers are padded. Almost all modern cars have a cai from the factory as it is shielded, has a Hemoltz resonator to cancel valve air pulses, which helps engine breathing. The only intakes that make real power without a tune were the few that had a MAF piggy back module to alter what the ECU sees. These intakes are for looks and sound.

[@aidenbird7293]

Not true for modern applications. The ECUs in modern vehicles are far more adaptive than their predecessors. For example. I have all bolt-on upgrades on my 1.6T 2014 Kia Proceed GT. It used to make 17PSI boost max, and 265nm max. It now makes 18.5PSI boost and maxes out the 300nm gauge. It runs very clean, i have a catch can and their is only ever a slight vapour, yet i put 20,000km on the vehicle each year.

[@Twitchguy]

Performance gains you’re absolutely correct but fuel efficiency gain and throttle response & sound gains I disagree. I put at least a short ram on every car I own and it always improves the gas mileage the throttle response on acceleration and when combined with a decent exhaust system(even with a stock one) the sound is noticeably better and smoother. But I’ll acknowledge that actual horsepower gain yes ecu tune is 100% needed if you really want to improve the actual performance and power. You might get a little gain as the video points out but it’s nothing worth bragging about though true enough. End of the day I say your car is your car and is yours to do what you want with. Long as you’re happy with what ever you did & didn’t blow it up doing it lol you do you! Short ram is a good beginner mod if you’re not a super pro at tuning yet or if you’re on a small budget or it’s just for your daily driver car but if you’re a serious tuner or want to really take your car to next level yes cold air intake & absolutely yes get a ecu tune done along with it!
