Rev Up With A Titan Cold Air Intake System

The name Titan conjures images of the mighty Greek gods who ruled heaven, earth, and sea. There can be no mistaking why Nissan named its full-sized pick-up truck Titan: it was bred for power and performance to rival that of, if not the Greek deities themselves, the leading pick-ups in the market today. You can harness the full power of your Nissan by strapping on a performance Titan cold air intake to its motors. Like a breath of fresh air, the Titan cold air intake will allow the engine to breath easier, creating more power, boosting throttle response, and improving fuel economy. Look at a Titan cold air intake as a low cost, high return investment. A cold air intake can easily squeeze an additional 5-10 horsepower from your engine, giving you that extra muscle to accomplish heavy duty work with your Nissan Titan.

There are three air intake systems to choose from. An Open Element Air Intake System gets more air by opening up the air box to tap the air in the engine bay. With a Sealed Air Intake System, the air filter, intake tube, and air box are replaced and these are sheltered from the engine's heat, which adds to horsepower loss. In a Ram Car Intake System, the intake tubes are longer and are better at creating more torque than horsepower. No matter which type you select, a Titan cold air intake ensures that you take full advantage of your Nissan's raw power and endurance engine.

To better understand the improvement brought about by installing a cold air intake system, let us see how a car's stock air intake system works. Your engine needs air to atomize the liquid fuel so it burns faster in the combustion chamber. The vehicle draws the air from the air box, passing through the intake tube, which delivers the air to the engine's throttle body. Most factory intake tubes are bent a few times to fit in the engine compartment, and minimize the level of noise when sucking air. Since the air has to wind through a series of bends and turns, it loses volume and is not optimally supplied to the chamber. The proximity of the air box to the engine produces warm air which, combined with low volume, causes poor fuel combustion. This affects engine performance, although you hardly notice the difference when all you have been using this time is your truck's factory-installed air intake system.

A performance air intake system replaces the piping with a wider intake tube that has fewer bends to increase the volume of oxygen supply. In a cold air intake system, the air box is placed outside the engine compartment where the air is cooler. The four main parts of a cold air system are the two aluminum pipes, an adaptor, and a high-flow filter. The intake tubes are specially designed to better regulate the airflow even at the bends. The parts are also placed away from the engine to reduce heat induction. With a Titan cold air intake system, you fill your Nissan's engine with cooler air and fuel burns more efficiently. There is no question about it: a Titan cold air intake will unleash the full power of your Nissan pick-up.
