holy shit clean that thing!!!!

[nickh87]

yeah i might work on that but first id like the intake in it first :)

[NoSweat83]

You need to take out the air box and the rest of the intake system first. After that you will be able to install the new intake. If you want more specific instructions pm me.

Wow...that things got a remote control??? So you can switch back and forth from CAI to WAI on the fly?? :D

LMAO :scpimp:

[AJules]

where did you get it?

[DOHC_tuner]

yeah it does, try using some lucas with your next oil change just to be safe. And I suggest cleaning it first prior to the installation of the intake cause then all that dust will get sucked in your engine and you'll be doing more harm than good with the intake

[nickh87]

alrite i got it 3 years ago, alternator and battery were just replaced lol thats why they look good....im having one of my friends install it next weekend, he did his on his TL so i trust him

im def gunna clean it up, but im pretty sure it wasnt in a flood

[spyhunter]

dude you don't need your friend to do it. All you need is a screwdriver.

[QCmustang]

im sorry but it looks self explanitory too me. REMOVE THE OLD INTAKE, AND PUT THE NEW ONE ON.. all you need is a screw driver.

[DOHC_tuner]

best part of modding is the feeling that you did it yourself, but yeah all you need is a flathead and a phillips.

Well, you DO need a 13mm? to bolt the intake onto the stud at the power steering pump too.....

[Vtolds]

and you need to pull the old sencor from the old intake and put it in the new one.

What mine looked like way back 3 or so years ago.

[nickh87]

thats what i need to do, where do i put the sensor....im sure i can do the rest my self but where does the sensor go?

[Vtolds]

I believe I had to pull the bung out of the stock intake and install it in the hole in the wai then stick the sensor back in.

[nickh87]

ahhh see im not good with cars and all this stuff...id feel proud if i did it myself, but im going to let my friend guide me

he'll tell me how and i will do it

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Did you get it done yet? IF your smart youll find a rubber gromet for the sensor from the old intake, drill the right sized hool;e in the rew intake tube and mount it in the stock location. Then plug the old hole get the mounting bracket out of the way and you gotcha a good intake!

[spyhunter]

In the hole on the intake. make sure you take the lil rubber grommet from the old intake and use it on the new one too, or the sensor will be floppy jalloppy in the hole. also the hole on the new intake many be too small, so just file it more open or get a drill bit and make it larger. EASY SIMPLE WORK!

If you can put together a LEGO set THIS IS EASIER.
