Password JDM carbon intake
vs
J's Racing Tsuchinoko intake


ive had my s2k for about 2 months now and finally the economy is starting to pick back up around here so im going to start building my s2k



id like to get either one of these untill i can save the money to go turbo


yeah i know they are up on the pricey side but i havent decided which one to pick



whats everyones opinions?

 

I went with the J's and have had no regrets.

 

ive read alot up on the j's and alot of people have said that its really loud under the hood

and that it wasnt much of a gain.


what would you say?
worth the 1500?

 

Umm, 1500 is enough to go ahead and get a good ball bearing turbo and a set of injectors, or a turbo manifold, dump tube, down pipe, and wastegate. Or your AEM EMS and a wideband. Or a nice clutch, install, and catback and test pipe...

You get where I am going here? Why buy a $1000-$1500 intake when you already plan to replace it? Just save for your turbo stuff, or go ahead and buy a few pieces. You will be happier, make more power in the long run, and once you buy a few pieces you will be more likely to stick with it.

There is a much better use of $1500

 

If you're set on that mod, J's.

 

password has my vote. but if you're planning on a turbo just save up till then...

 

J's intake is not loud at all. normal drving sounds like stock, and at wot, its a tad bit louder.

 

i barely noticed a change in sound when i installed my J's. Performance was affected nicely though..
I think J's is the best still..

 

its gonna be a while before i go turbo, im gonna get the engine built and get everything set up before i turbo it

anyone know which has better HP gains?

 

the j's isnt loud at all and i love mine. i just upgraded to a turbo so my j's is for sale with a cusco cooling plate $800 shipped if youre interested
