is taking out the battery and letting the ecu reset necessary when converting cai to sr?

 

YEP

 

On the second Vibra Mount you place behind the bumper i just left the Ground wire where it was, and placed the mount over the wire. Oh Well...LoL I have the Intake in CAI form and i think its actually a little louder than my exhaust, i have a HKS Hi-Pow axle back. I like the combo though myself.

*EDIT* I found no reason the front bumper should be removed. I think it would actually take time away from the project at hand. *EDIT*

 

bottom line, its a pain in the ___ to install especially when injen gives you too small of a hose to fit on the throttle body... I have to say having everything apart and ready to start installing and finding out that injen didnt inspect the box to make sure that all the right parts were in it was very frustrating.

 

I'll be checking on this one tonight when I do my intake.

 

Anyone have their CEL come on and how did you fix that?

 

never had a CEL on.

 

Installation was straight foward, and very hassle free. It only took me about 30 mins to install. I went the "pull back the plastics" route, instead of removing the bumper.

 

I just installed mine a few days ago, and the only "issue" I had was that I had to reposition the way I remounted the sensor because the vacuum lines were pinching, which made my CEL go on.

I also noticed that once the bumper was off, you could remove the the panel shown in the pic if you wanted to let more air in. Has anyone tried this? I kept mine on in fear that rain might get in there. It'd be one helluva way to let air in though.

 

anyone has the injen CAI with the AEM bypass value? I'm having trouble a lining it with the bypass value.

 

I've heard rumors that the injen intake doesn't fit into '07 tC's. Can anyone confirm this?

 

I believe they have a different MAF sensor.

 

I was thinking the same thing too. But yeah i think alot more water would get in there if you take that panel out. I wouldn't risk it. On the other hand i'm working for a air flow channel. Still in the works but it would channel air from the lower grill part area in channel it to the intake.

 

So, I can put the CAI on with out taking the wheel or bumper off? Do I just pull out the plastic tire Wheel cover a little?

 

You need to pull the fender liner back half way and that the right wheel off.

 

How low does the filter sit? Do you reccomend I get some sort of filter cone to prevent water from suctioning? I do NOT want to hydrolock...

 

it sits very high. it will not hydrolock. ----unless u drove it into a flash flood. I drove in 3inch puddle before.

 

does the conversion to the short ram make it difficult to fit the air filter back in? is it like a snug fit or is it more open air?

 

the air filter should fit easily in the short ram.

 

any1?
