There's no difference just different designs to achieve the same objective. No performance gains, so you go for the noise if you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 What is a pop charger and whats the difference between that and an induction kit! - yes i have searched to no avail and yes i do feel very thick! An induction kit, im sure you are familiar with that. Popcharger?...well that is the name of an induction kit manufactured by JWT: Jim Wolf Tech. They are an aftermarket performance parts specialist and they have named thier induction kit as a popcharger. Due to its pricing and value for money performance (noise ), it has caught on well in USA and abroad. Thus having the manufaturer designated name commonly used than the generic part name of induction kit. hope that clarifies your Question.

jim Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thank you - damn i hate asking stupid questions. I didn't think it was stupid and it helped to clarify something for me and I've been around a lot longer than you +1 I bet there were quite a few who read this and understood something for the first time. One of the great benefits of a forum like this is that information is shared so effectively because people like you are prepared to ask the so-called "daft laddy" questions. I didn't know what a pop charger was either when I first read about them on this forum over two years ago, but I didn't have the guts to ask the question right away. I worked it out after reading lots of posts and putting two and two together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1624800 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Let me add another newbie question to this topic.....What exactly does the pop charger do?? and I had no idea about the difference in the two so cheers dcash5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 it improves air flow and provides cooler air to the engine than a stock airbox. both of these things would give small performance gains. however, the zed has a helpful ecu than cancels out any gains from this mod also the zed's stock airbox is very good anyway, and some induction kits could actually work less well than stock . . . they do sound awesome though and really improve the look of the engine bay. i've got a pipercross and its great.

martinmac Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 This is the guide but forget about any power gain. Intake There are basicly two different types of intakes on the market. "Short Ram" and "Cold Air" intakes. A "Short Ram" intake is a filter on the end of the intake tube that sits inside the engine bay. Generally a shorter distance from the filter into the throttle body. A "Cold Air" intake locates the air filter outside of the engine bay. It gets its name "Cold Air" from pulling in air from out side of the engine bay not the warm air from inside of the engine bay. Cold Airs do not magically cool off the air, it just brings in cooler air from outside the engine room. Intakes that fall under the "Short Ram" catagory are: Jim Wolf Technology (JWT) Pop Charger, K&N Typhoon and Fujita intakes. Intakes that fall under the "Cold Air Intake" catagory are: NISMO, AEM and INJEN. There are some more intakes then these, but these are the main ones to look for. The Performance Difference All of these intakes will give you some kind of gain when installed properly. They all give you a larger more roaring sound from the engine bay at full throttle once above around 4000RPM. With a Short Ram Intake, there is less distance for air to travel from filter to throttle body. This makes for better throttle response and greater power at higher RPM's. Cold Airs do not have as quick of a throttle response but gain a little more in the mid range of the RPM band. Air is constantly moving through the engine bay while the car is in motion. Filter placement is key here. Where the Short Rams place the filter is in a pressurized zone where air is directed towards the filter. On a Dyno, the car sits still so generally these numbers are lower, but in motion, this is where these intakes shine. Filter placement is something to look for on cold air intakes. The INJEN intake places its filter infront of the radiator. At highway speeds, a cushin of air is formed around the filter directing on coming air around the filter. It is harder for the engine to draw in air when the filter is in a high turblent area like this. On the NISMO / AEM intake the filter is placed infront of the wheel. In this area air is less turbulent so the engine can draw in air with less effort. With a Cold Air Intake you can possibly suck water up into your engine. To avoid this, look for an intake that includes or has an option to add a water diverter valve. This keeps water from being sucked into the engine by bringing air in through the valve rather then the soaking wet filter. The NISMO intake includes this. It is an option with the AEM. Short Ram intakes do not have this problem. Is it possible for an aftermarket intake to void your warranty? Yes. Only if the Mass Air Flow sensor is damaged. The only time this happens is during instalation or if an over oiled filter is installed. If oil or any particle comes in contact with the MAF it could damage it. A MAF can be damaged with the stock intake as well. The intake that makes the best horsepower gain for the money, sound, and performance that I would recomend is the JWT Pop Charger. $120 plus shipping and a independantly proven consitant 6.5 Horse power to the wheels gain. This is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The Injen has the same claims / proven results on dyno's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
