1991-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 2.4L L4 KA24DE Performance Air Intake Kit
Engineered for the 1991-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 with the 2.4L KA24DE engine, this Flashark performance air intake kit replaces the factory airbox and intake tube to feed the engine through a mandrel-bent 2.75-inch aluminum tube and an open-element dry cone filter. The kit is a direct-fit upgrade for Coupe, Hatchback, and Convertible body styles and bolts on with basic hand tools — no cutting, drilling, or fabrication required.

Key Features
- Expected output range: Approximately 5-10 hp and 6%-8% torque versus the factory intake on a stock KA24DE; results vary with vehicle state, calibration, and supporting hardware.
- Advanced piping design: The 2.75-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube is built with smooth, laminar bends to keep airflow stable over the factory MAF sensor and reduce the risk of intake turbulence.
- Washable dry filter: The high-flow dry cone filter traps debris without oiling, which keeps the MAF sensor surface clean and functional and removes the need for re-oiling between services.
- Aggressive induction sound: Replacing the factory airbox with the open-element filter and aluminum tube gives the KA24DE a deeper intake tone under acceleration while quieting down at cruise.
- Sharper throttle response: The larger-diameter intake path and open-element filter improve response across the low- and mid-RPM range for a more direct pedal feel.
- Engine protection: The dry cone media blocks airborne debris and contaminants before they reach the throttle body, supporting consistent operation in daily driving.
- Complete kit: Aluminum intake pipe, dry filter, silicone couplers, hose clamps, and mounting brackets are included — no extra parts required for a standard install on a factory-equipped 240SX S13 KA24DE.
Who this is for
This Flashark performance air intake kit is built for the 1991-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 with the 2.4L DOHC KA24DE engine, in Coupe, Hatchback, or Convertible body styles. It's for owners who want sharper throttle response, a deeper induction tone, and a washable filter in a bolt-on install.
- For you if… you drive a factory-equipped 240SX S13 with the KA24DE and want a first intake upgrade that bolts on with hand tools · you prefer a dry, washable filter that doesn't require re-oiling · you want a noticeable induction sound without going to an open-track setup · you understand the kit has no CARB EO and confirm your state and county rules before ordering.
- Not for you if… your 240SX has a 1989-1990 SOHC KA24E or a JDM engine swap such as the SR20DET or CA18DET (this kit does not fit those configurations) · you need a CARB EO-compliant intake for street registration in California or another CARB-adopting state · you expect a guaranteed MPG gain from an intake alone · you regularly ford deep water without having a hydrolock-safe setup.

Check before ordering
- Vehicle: Direct-fit for the 1991-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 2.4L L4 DOHC KA24DE in Coupe, Hatchback, and Convertible body styles. If your VIN shows a 1989-1990 SOHC KA24E or any JDM engine swap (SR20DET, CA18DET), this kit will not fit.
- Intake type: Open-element dry filter with a 2.75-inch aluminum tube (no sealed heat-shielded airbox). Air is drawn from the engine bay, not from an outside-air feed.
- Filter service: The included filter is a dry, washable media. Service it with mild soap and water, let it air dry completely, and reinstall — do not oil this filter, as over-oiling can contaminate the MAF sensor. Browse the air filter collection for replacement filters and cleaning supplies for your 240SX S13.
- Sensors: The kit reuses the factory MAF sensor at the OEM location and bore. No spacer, adapter, or ECU tune is required for a stock KA24DE.
- Compliance: This SKU carries no CARB EO. It is not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles in California or other CARB-adopting states, and is intended for off-road or track use in those areas.
- Install space and water: Bolt-on install with basic hand tools, no cutting or drilling required. Avoid deep water crossings — the open-element filter can ingest water and cause hydrolock damage.

Product FAQ
A1: This kit does not carry a CARB Executive Order (EO). It is not legal for sale or use in California (and other CARB-adopting states) on pollution-controlled motor vehicles, and is intended for off-road or track use in those areas. Confirm your state and county rules before installing on a street-driven 240SX. A2: This kit is a direct-fit upgrade for 1991-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 models equipped with the 2.4L DOHC KA24DE engine in Coupe, Hatchback, and Convertible body styles. It does not fit the 1989-1990 SOHC KA24E or any JDM engine swap such as the SR20DET or CA18DET. If your VIN shows a different engine, message us with the VIN before ordering. A3: Typical intake-only gains for this application are approximately 5-10 hp and 6%-8% torque on a stock KA24DE. Actual results depend on the vehicle state, ECU calibration, installation, and supporting hardware — see the Key Features section for the expected output range and the conditions that affect it. A4: Fuel economy is dominated by driving habits, vehicle state, and load. An intake alone can't guarantee a measurable MPG gain. Expect the main benefit as sharper throttle response and a deeper intake tone rather than a specific fuel-economy number. A5: Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an aftermarket part cannot void your factory warranty unless the manufacturer proves the part caused the failure. This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement that reuses the factory MAF sensor at the OEM location and bore. A6: The 2.75-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube is engineered to provide smooth, laminar airflow over the factory MAF sensor, which keeps the MAF reading within the OEM design envelope. CELs on this style of install are most often caused by an intake leak, an over-oiled filter, or a disturbed sensor wiring connector — none of which apply to a clean install of this kit. The included filter is a dry media that does not require oiling. A7: No tune is required for a stock 240SX S13 KA24DE. The kit reuses the factory MAF sensor at the OEM location and bore and runs on the factory ECU mapping. If you have an aftermarket ECU tune or a non-stock MAF sensor setup, confirm the tune is compatible with the new intake path. A8: Normal rain driving is fine. Avoid deep water crossings — the open-element filter can ingest water and cause hydrolock, which can lead to severe engine damage. If you regularly ford water, consider a high-mounted or relocation setup instead. A9: The included filter is a washable dry cone filter. Remove it from the intake tube, wash it with mild soap and water, let it air dry completely, and reinstall. Do not oil this filter — over-oiling can contaminate the MAF sensor surface and trigger a CEL. For routine replacement media, see the air filter collection. A10: You'll notice a deeper intake tone under acceleration, with the cabin quieting back down at cruise. Sound is subjective — if you want the loudest option, the open-element filter on this kit gives the most noticeable induction sound for a street-driven 240SX. Pair this intake with the matching 1989-1994 Nissan 240SX 4-muffler-tip cat-back exhaust for a coordinated induction and exhaust note on the S13 platform. A11: The kit includes the 2.75-inch mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe, a washable dry cone filter, silicone step couplers, heavy-duty hose clamps, mounting brackets, hardware, and installation instructions. No additional parts are required for a standard install on a factory-equipped 240SX S13 KA24DE. Basic hand tools are all that's needed — no cutting, drilling, or fabrication. The factory MAF sensor is reused from your existing intake. A12: This kit is engineered for the factory throttle body bore and the factory KA24DE intake path. If you run an oversized aftermarket throttle body or a turbo inlet, verify the coupler size and the MAF sensor location with our support team before ordering to confirm fitment. For compatible couplers, hoses, and related air-delivery hardware for your 240SX, see the air and fuel delivery collection.1991-1994 Nissan 240SX S13 2.4L KA24DE Air Intake Kit FAQs
