Here's my newly aquired TC, I just wanted to get opinions (hopefully not mean ) abut my custom intake, I had some free time and decided to try this before I get my injen CAI.

Question too !! I got a CEL about two days after intallation but after I reset the ICU everythig was cool, but is this something I have to worry about ?? what to do if it comes on again ?

 

intresting, can you take a closer picture of that with more light?

 

I'd personally leave in the stock until you get your injen intake. Throttle response must be pretty good with that but your A/F ratio is probably going to be sh*t.

 

Here's a close-up pic, the thing works fine for my (official name for this SRI, "The thing")

I also left the bottom of the original intake (where the filter sits) since it fits nicely there and keeps the filter from moving around, but I don't know if this filter was preoiled, should this matter ?

 

i wanted to see how you did the sensor, im in the process of making a cold air box, similar to comptechs icebox set up.....I did for my accord and actually gained 6Hp on the dyno.
i dont intend to copy it.........

 

yes, the filter should be oiled.....your picture is showing up really small.

 

I got this part form autozone, they sell a system to make your own intake and it comes with diferent adapter for different brands, it's like $12 but I replaced the coupler that it came with, a regular rubber coupler it's better

No problem if you copy that, why would you say that ??

The PIC it's also on my profile as well

 

omg.. does that thing say APC?

 

yep !! APC, but it's working fime so far, the din't have a K&N at my local Autoparts but I'll keep it for now until I get my injen.

 

those rework filters are pretty good filters, ive done that a few times before! just shove em in there, always seem to fit...

 

Hmm... yeah pick up some k&n filter oil or some similar light oil. The couple inexpensive filters I've used on previous cars came dry. Its a better option that letting dust score your cylinder walls.

 

I give you credit for trying a DIY project. But I have to say in regards to you choosing APC, APC = crap!

 

APC = American Piece of Crap

 

That poor, poor, Scion.

 

 

I knew that was coming !! but it's a temporary DIY project, I'll be getting my injen soon but I'm a bit worried about hidrolocking

 

its hydrolocking*. and you dont need to worry about that unless you plan on driving through 2 feet of water. and if that's the case, you deserve it.

nice diy though. does it sound better?

 

question. if your getting a cai then waste time on that thing you made up.not to bash you,its real creative but i would just have waited for the cai to arrive

 

man......
remind me never to post up a mod. LOL.
yeah, i probably would have waited to get my CAI, but since you dont drive with the hood open, and you dont have some big APC decal, who really cares...........

 

lol, its his car, he can do whatever you want to it, I think everyone was just playing around with the whole APC deal, its a filter for damn sake...

If he would've slap'd a K&N filter on though.... he would have been the sh*t!! :D
