Installed Injen CAI

[Riken]

Very easy to install. Not sure if this has been covered before but you really dont have to remove the front bumper. I just took out 3 screws from the bottom plastic part and screwed the air filter in. Also since im not getting that many hits on my wanted post, anyone have a MP3 ECU?

I need to get one...looks great!

 

[Not Jo3L]

Not to scare you be careful when driving through standing water. I had this same CAI on my P5 and ended up getting hydro-locked. Which ment new engine.

There's a hydrolock prevention valve made by AEM that can help prevent this...

 

[Riken]

I ordered this just incase, i heard bad stories about hydrolock.

Ditto, my sister just did that to my car a couple weeks ago.

Here's K&Ns version of that on their RC-4650 filter.......http://www.msprotege.com/members/i12drivemyMP5/Attachments/P5engine_02.jpg

one thing i'd suggest is getting some vacuum tubing or any other small hose, slice it longways and put it along the edge of the hole where the CAI goes down into the wheel well. It'll protect the finish of the piping.

lol where did you put the little container of liquid (forgive me for not knowing the name)

yea thats where i put it... just wondering

i was thinking of getting rid of the fog light on that side on the track and cover up the bottom with the splach sheild and run open filter... but we'll see

 

[Rogue]

i wouldn't suggest running an open filter. Anything that gets in will 1) tear up the MAF and 2) go into in your engine.

I'll get a picture of the intake thing later today.

I currently have my Injen in mothballs because I got sick of worrying about rainy weather and hydrolock. However, I may put it back on because I'm considering selling the P5. What kind of filter are you all running on the intake? I don't have a filter to put on it at the moment.

What size is the piping? I have a couple of spares sittin around. Not K&N but will be OK til you can get one. I work in town. Sure we could meet up somewhere if you need one. You can have it if you're gonna use it. Just takin up space at my place. Lemme know.

 

[mzdalvr]

you could do this to your coolant overflow container, just flip your stock bracket .

 

[Riken]

lol well it has rained maybe 2-3 times this summer here in NC. So im ok. Need some rain, my gras is brown. lol

Can you just swap in an MP3 ECU? What are the HP gains?
