Yes of course.

 

that sounds like the solution to all of my problems.....nice post

 

anyone know if this mod passes smog?
this seems like a very good mod. I just want to pass smog with it, when i cut up my only stock intake

Doesn't affect emissions any differently then the CAI you're using.

 

Well i got bored, and was tired of check engine lights with my injen sri. So i got on ebay and bought a CAI for 44 bux shipped. I spent about an hour choppin and refinishing my MAF tube, and about a half hour cuttin the new cai. Install took me about 3 hours or less, and im very happy with the results. No more check injen light, barely any bogging, and a bit more noticeable power in 1-3 gears! This mod is one of the best things ive done so far. I gotta give it up to Blue for figuring out this crazy little trick. Although i do need to get a little sound dampening for my wheel well, to block out water, and calm down the crazy loudness on the drivers side from the new cai. Now i just have to give it the test of time, and see how it all goes from here. Ill let ya's know!

 

get a cel light over the weekend, checked it out and one of my couplers seemed loose, tightened it up and reset ecu. Seemed fixed. Now i get another cel light today, kinda gettin pissed off. Gunna go scan the code and see whats up, if u have any ideas, let me know!!!!

 

ok its a p0441, which is a EVAP Emission control system purge flow fault. I have no idea what that means, do u guys have any ideas what would be wrong with my install to set that off, cuz i got that code with my injen SRI also, and i need to get it fixed!!!!!!

 

if this isn't resolve yet I had the same issue my fix was changing out my gas cap and it works. It had some similar issue with the tundra and their gas cap so their fix was to replace the gas cap which work. I been driving for 3 month since the CEL and no CEL have yet to return.

 

will this work with the new AEM gen2 CAI.

 

sounds great have the cai and gettin ready to do the mod, but i was wondering how many of you guys have managed this without check engine lights? because i def don't want any of that

 

one question...

the MAF is going to read air from the aftermarket pipe wich is probobly bigger than 2.5

get my drift?

Wrong, the MAF is mounted in the stock location using a piece from the stock intake box. It will be reading airflow at 2.25" dia.

I just did this mod last week and I have to say that it does appear to improve driveability and power. My pulls have been much stronger since this mod and to answer Spikeman's previous question, no I have not had any CEL's nor have I ever.

Nice work Bomber!

 

im planning to do this, great job on a good write up : )

 

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I performed this mod in the early winter, and through a little swearing and patience I got it to fit right and look good. After driving it I could instantly tell that the hesitation and bogging was gone. My celi is actually a lot easier to drive around town, especially coming out of driveways and intersections. I would recommend this mod to anyone with a CAI or a SRI. I had the latter.

 

I started getting everything ready for this mod.. I don't have bogging problems or anything, just wanted to get rid of the CEL (Check Engine Light) I figured was being caused by the CIA. When I got the stock piece ready and put it up to the Injen CIA I have, I noticed with mine, they were the exact same size around.. Didn't they make a 2nd gen intake specifically for this problem? Just wanting to make sure because I don't think I need this mod.

 

...It's CAI not CIA

and I don't think injen ever made a gen 2? that was AEM...

it's the diameter in the center of the piping that you're worried about,

i did this mod and it got red of my CEL and all the other problems with CAI/SRI's.

 

It's Rid not Red.

 

I did this yesturday and the write up helps alot! No more bogging at low rpms. Thanks

 

i was going to do this mod, i cut the stuck airbox up and everythin and then went to put it on, and happened to notice it looks the same size as my C/A/I. I have a 2000 gt with the AEM dryflow cai. Im guesing this mod doesnt apply to this intake... :wiggle:

 

did this mod and still running lean with some bogging. any help?

Check for vaccum leaks.

I haven't done the mod yet but I think they're supposed to be the same size, at least from the outside. Get one of those silicone couplers like the yellow one in the pic and bring the MAF holder and pipe right up to each other inside the coupler. Then tighten them down together. That should do the trip.

BB, am I close or totally off on this one?

Also, did y'all paint the inside too?

 

Great Mod!!! Thanks so much BB. I can really feel the difference and the bogging from 1-3k is gone. It took me a little while to get the exact amount of the CAI cut (3 different cuts) but I finally got it down and installed. Thanks

 

Does anyone have pictures of this mod with a K&N SRI bc i dont understand how it would work? And my celica is bogging really bad its to the point where my car shuts off sometimes and i have the CEL on all the time. So help would be great thanks
