Pre-install:

Before recieveing the intake I had decided I was going to replace the filter. Appon receiving it I was glad I had gotten a new one.


^filter I recieved



^filter I replaced it with

After attaching the filter, I attached the Rubber Coupler to the intake.


^intake just prior to install

The install:

I first removed the upper air intake tubing, and filter box. The tubing is connect to the throttle body by a clamp, and to the filter box by another clamp. (sorry I didnt take pictures of it) The filter box itself is attached to the body of the car by 3 bolts, 2 inside the filter box, and one on the outside, located between the filter box and the strut tower. (again sorry I didnt take pictures of it)


^what I removed, (top airbox with filter, and tubing from the throttle body. I plan to remove the lower airbox later on this week. [the one in the fender])


^what the engine bay looks like with the upper OEM intake stuff removed.

I attached the intake with a 2" Rubber Coupler from Lowes ($3.47 in the plumbing section, near the pvc piping)



My first problem was this:

^hole for the temp sensor


^the temp sensor

The whole is to large, the answer. Grommet


^advanced auto parts, got a set of a whole bunch of sizes for $3.xx (i used the size that fit the temp sensor, the outside diameter was slightly smaller then the Injen's hole, so I wrapped a rubber band to make it larger for the time being)

Next issue was:

The intake has connections for the pcv and another hose, but the OEM hoses are to narrow in the interior diameter, to me directly attached to the intake. So I left the pcv hose connected to the throttle body, and had it bypass the intake all together. I went back out to advanced autoparts, and got some Vac Caps.


^and example of one.


^example of where it goes (there was 2 places i caped, the other is on the underside of the induction tube)

Final Product:







Build total:

Injen SRI: $80 Shipped From Zipstrips (again I would like to state that he is an awsome seller)
K&N Highflow Cone Filter: $60 From Advanced Autoparts
Rubber Coupler: $3.97 From Lowes
Set of Vac Caps: $3.xx From Advance Autoparts
Set of Grommets: $3.xx From Advance Autoparts

Total: $149.97

Lagos and Mynzeyes helping FTW.

and btw, that's an odd cap. i was thinking about the kind that goes OVER the nipple sticking out...not into it...neat though. and those rubber bands were hardcore ghetto. haha.

you forgot the stock reservior under the car?

Rubber bands in gromet = 1337!

Great job. Nice write up with good pics!

One thing I have noticed now is that the '94 & '95 models don't have a vacuum line directly into the intake, only into the throttle body. When we install these SRI on our engines, should we look at putting a vacuum line into the intake, or is bypassing that and only having the vacuum into the throttle body best?

thanks again..

and if u look in the stock black piping, our grommit for the air sensor could have been pulled from there

>

i did that about 10 minutes go....woot woot, no more rubber bands

hey so is the temperature sensor the one on the top airbox with the filter? i noticed there's a connection there but i'm not sure wat it is or wat to do with it..

Theres one more hole in the piping near the throttle body.
