Just finished my intake for my SOHC

Post by Brainless »

I remember somebody who said something about not having enough space in the SOHC to put pipes for a CAI. Well I did mine and it was pretty simple (and cheaper than the PRM kit). I'm gonna take pics soon and post them. Here's a list of what you need.<P>-Cone filter (duh!!)<BR>-MAF adapter<BR>-One silicone adapter<BR>-a 3" pipe w/ a 90 degree bent<P>This is simple but many people ask about it so I thought maybe this could help.<p>[ May 06, 2002: Message edited by: Brainless ]

Are you talking about the MAF?..the big metal box attach to the air box? If so, you have to leave it there. I didn't have to change anything w/ any sensor.<P>Did you take a look at my website, I've added some closup of the intake (maybe this could help you. BTW, to install it exactly like I did, you will need to remove the radiator fluid tank and sqease it back in after in after installing the intake.

I have found a better place to put your coolant reservoir. It gives you much more room, and is quite easy. If you are interested, just ask.

The only thing you should keep is the small support that is used to clamp the stick that keeps the hood open.
