wow fail haha alright. do you have a CAI?

AbHeLlRaZoR · 07-09-2009, 06:31 PM

WAI until I order some pipes couplers, and clamps to change it

RisenequinoX · 07-09-2009, 06:32 PM

alright so i basically have to custom make this eh?

AbHeLlRaZoR · 07-09-2009, 06:34 PM

for the most part yeah, what kind of engine do you have?

RisenequinoX · 07-09-2009, 06:35 PM

3400 sfi

AbHeLlRaZoR · 07-09-2009, 06:38 PM

hmm search the site I know there are guys with cold air intakes on the 3400. I got the ecotec, and the whole 2.2L specific part of this site is littered with guys asking about air intakes, so I'm pretty limited.

RisenequinoX · 07-09-2009, 06:40 PM

well im not askin for one i am curious as to how i would go about this situation. lol

AbHeLlRaZoR · 07-09-2009, 06:45 PM

DIY be all redneck ricer and use PVC pipe LMAO or get some universal intercooler pipe couplers and clamps, put the filter into the fender behind the wheel well where the "hidden" factory intake box is but remove that old box first.

Since the elbow was in upside down, you were giving away HP to the car behind you, correct it and you'll gain back the 48 HP you should have gotten when you install the unit in the first place.

This is freaking hilarious; This and what heineck posted.
Ken, as you see. I wasn't picking on the kid and I refreained from posting until today, when I got through laughing so hard that I could catch my breath. Look at the first picture where it looks like the elbow is stretched, this isw what caught my eye and the last picture is what made me confident in my posting that he had it upside down.

doubt it, he wanted the looks of a turbocharged car and figured the intercooler would cool the air on an N/A car just as well as a turbo car, without realizing the intercooler is there to maintain the temperatures to what N/A would be (ambient) since boosted applications heat up the air.

newbies, lots of them get that idea once in a while

Smurf the pic today shows it upside down, if so ill fix it even though its not rubbing any more

cherrington17 · 07-09-2009, 10:18 PM

it might not be rubbing... but its dangerously close to your positive battery terminal. if that touches, even slightly when the car launches or is idling.. your going to have a small fire on your hands...

AleroDrime · 07-09-2009, 11:21 PM

well its not touching now and is pretty sturdy

Redog · 07-10-2009, 12:00 AM
