My 1st Intake Install, How Does It look?

[BKJT05]

sounds like an intake leak past the air meter. Check your connections. Probably getting some un-metered air from somewhere.

yea cuz when i first had it installed, it ran good, then i did some more cutting, then installed again, maybe i got some leaks. ill check. thanks

If the IAT or MAF plugs aren't all the way plugged in you'll get an immediate CEL. Idle thing may just be coincidence that the egr needs cleaning too. Don't forget to do the IAC when cleaning the egr. Both will mess with idling if dirty. Both attached to throttle body. Do search on egr cleaning to find the how-to for doing both.

i have the exact same intake as you and i didnt cut anything. but it looks like it worked out well for you.
i have zip ties on mine lol that keeps it from rubbing and shaking and all that mess.
looks good though!

i dont know how you got it to fit the, cause if i would of kept mine stock size, it would of been forced against the radiator and resivor, and hit everything on the way. ahah. i love the way it looks, but idk y its idling so funny

i used one zip tie attached to the engine on the crane support to keep it off the brake resivoir, then i used another zip tie wrapped around the upper radiator hose to keep the intake from rattling against everything. havent had any problems with it other than the zip ties are leaving rub marks on the piping and the metal "bracket" gets so hot that it bends. eh its w/e my car is far from show worthy, and i hardly ever pop my hood for anyone so it doesnt really bother me. i mostly got it for the sound. i plan on having it powder coated silver sometime though

sorry to bump this old thread, but didnt wanna make a new one, anyways i figured out why my CEL was on? today i was going to put back the stock airbox etc becuase my car has been running bad since the intake install, well anyways as i was getting ready to unscrew a bolt on the intake, i noticed a small hose not hooked to anything, found where it needed to go, reset the battery and took a drive, and that turned out to be the problem. I was a happy man, car runs so good now with intake and evo2 catback. just thought id let everyone know in case someone runs into the same problem some day. THANSK
