Short Ram Air Intake For Nissan 200SX (Black Top) 1993-1999

Upgrade your SR20DET-powered Nissan 200SX with this direct-fit short ram intake adapter—designed to replace your factory airbox while retaining your stock MAF sensor for a clean, bolt-on performance solution that improves airflow and adds an aggressive intake sound.

Simple Intake Upgrade for the SR20DET Platform

The 1993–1999 Nissan 200SX with the SR20DET "Black Top" engine is a beloved platform among enthusiasts for its turbocharged performance and tuning potential. But the factory airbox setup is bulky and restrictive, limiting airflow to your turbo and taking up valuable engine bay space. This short ram intake adapter offers a clean, simple solution that improves throttle response and gives your SR20 the breathing room it needs.

This adapter is designed as a direct OEM fitment replacement—you remove your stock airbox assembly, transfer your factory MAF sensor to this new adapter, and install the included high-flow filter. The result is improved airflow to your turbo, sharper throttle response, and that classic turbo intake sound that reminds you there's boost on tap. Plus, the cleaner engine bay appearance is a nice bonus for car shows or routine maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Direct OEM Fitment: Precision-engineered to bolt directly in place of your factory airbox using stock MAF sensor mounting points.
• Retains Factory MAF Sensor: Works with your stock mass airflow sensor—no tuning required for basic installation.
• Improved Airflow: Short ram design reduces intake restriction for better turbo response and improved engine breathing.
• Aggressive Intake Sound: Hear your turbo spool and bypass valve with the open-element filter design.
• Includes High-Flow Filter: Complete kit includes performance air filter for immediate installation.
• Clean Engine Bay: Eliminates bulky factory airbox for a cleaner, more accessible engine bay.

Installation Overview

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic automotive work:

1. Remove the factory airbox assembly (airbox, intake tube, and MAF housing)
2. Remove your MAF sensor from the factory housing
3. Install the MAF sensor onto this new adapter using factory mounting hardware
4. Install the adapter in place of the factory airbox
5. Attach the included high-flow air filter

Most enthusiasts can complete installation in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

About the Construction

This intake adapter is manufactured using advanced FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing technology with high-temperature thermoplastic polymer material. This manufacturing process allows for precise fitment and complex geometries that traditional manufacturing methods cannot achieve, while maintaining the strength and heat resistance required for engine bay applications.

Surface Finish: FDM parts have a characteristic layered surface texture. While fully functional and durable, the surface will show visible layer lines typical of 3D printed parts. If desired, the part can be further smoothed using sanding, primer and paint, or other finishing techniques.

Important Considerations

For Off-Road Use: This product is designed for off-road and racing applications. Check your local emissions regulations before installation, as removing or modifying emissions-related components may not be legal for street use in some areas.

Tuning Recommendation: While this intake adapter works with your stock MAF sensor, pairing it with a professional tune can optimize air-fuel ratios and maximize performance gains—especially if you're running other modifications.
