it might not, you than need to get a rubber coupler, cut a hole in it, and swap the sensor onto that like this ![http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/IAT.jpg](http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/IAT.jpg) ---

FYI Injun intakes for 240’s have been discontinued. They were way more expensive than the same thing from AEM anyways. You should have bought one from Jammin1911’s Summit racing group buy. John is tops when it comes to GB’s (and the AEM comes with the proper sensor hookups) ---

just stick a filter on your stock piping and remove your air box… its the same thing. unless of course you short ram it by reloating your battery. ---

AEM claims some pretty decent gains. Here’s the dyno #'s [![](http://www.240sx.org/links/installs/aem-intake/95-Nissan-240SX-HP.jpg) ](http://www.240sx.org/links/installs/aem-intake/95-Nissan-240SX-HP.jpg) [![](http://www.240sx.org/links/installs/aem-intake/95-Nissan-240SX-TQ.jpg) ](http://www.240sx.org/links/installs/aem-intake/95-Nissan-240SX-TQ.jpg) I imagine these results are a bit bloated to increase sales. fyi. from what I’ve learned AEM and Injen both use K&N filters. Since both intakes are essentially identical in manufacture I don’t think either is any better than the other. ---

It’s usually the filter that makes the difference. For the most part, i think that the piping does not really matter, especially for a short ram intake like this. The piping is just for show i think, lol
