Break in period for air intake??
Hi,
I just installed an intake system into my xB (injen).
I followed the YDR directions (excellet).
I took my girlfriend for a spin, and she noticed a funny smell coming from the xB. I followed the directions precisely, and doubled checked my work.
Is there a break-in period because it's new? I just don't see any misplaced clamps, or even loose clamps. It seems perfect.
Please let me know...
Thanks,
PF

"jethro_b" I hope youre right. This is my first mod to any car, so I hope its right.
Installing an air intake seemed quite easy.
After removing the stock unit, I connected the intake to the throttle body.
Mounted the VSV unit.
Screwed the mass air unit to the intake
Finally intake>hose>oil diffusing filter>hose> crankcase valve
I used one clamp per connection.
Thats it! I dont think Im missing anything.
Maybe Im just being paranoid. Ill see if the smell dissipates over the next 1-2 days.
I just dont wont my xB to blow up.

The first time new parts heat up they will sometimes give off a slight odor. Keep an eye on it but the smell should go away shortly.

There should be no smell. No parts of the intake get hot enough to create a smell.
Check step 15 and 24 in my DIY for proper connection of the crankcase valve hoses.
