No. Injen lists it as no-tune-required, and it bolts on with the stock engine management.

How much power does it add?

Injen claims up to 5 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque. Expect the bigger change to be throttle response and sound.

Will it fit my Sentra?

It fits 2013-2019 Sentra models with the 1.8L MRA8DE engine, automatic or manual.

Aluminum intake piping, a washable dry filter, a silicone reducer coupler, hose clamps and MAF sensor hardware.

Is the filter washable?

Yes. It is a dry SuperNano-Web filter, so you clean it rather than oil it.

Will it trigger a check-engine light?

Some owners report MAF errors and lean codes. If that happens, check the MAF sensor seating and coupler fit first.

About the Cold Air Intake for Nissan Sentra (2013-2019) 1.8L Engine

This cold air intake replaces the factory air filter and plastic intake tube on 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra models with the naturally aspirated 1.8L (MRA8DE) engine. The tube is mandrel-bent 6061-T6 aluminum. It takes the place of the stock plastic resonators and baffles to streamline the air path.

The kit uses a SuperNano-Web dry air filter that is washable and reusable. It is rated for up to 5 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque gain and needs no tune. The aluminum piping dissipates heat faster than the stock plastic.

It is a bolt-on kit that fits both automatic and manual transmissions. Installation takes under 60 minutes with basic hand tools. Resetting the battery terminal after installation is recommended so the ECU can re-learn the airflow parameters. It is not for the turbocharged Sentra SR Turbo or NISMO.
