......not when she's bit*hing about how you spend more time on the car than with her. It's a neverending lose-lose situation. *sigh*

But to stay on-topic, take out your stock airbox (top and bottom), and replace it with the intake tube. Quite intuitive once you've gotten the airbox out.

ok seems easy but wat do i do wit the little hole and the breather?but i kno im drifting off topic a little bit but shes been really cool lately n hasnt been bitchin cause i been keepin her n the car spendin balanced n im tryin to convince her to start doin up her sentra

she drives also? wooow... no need for you to take her places.. that little hole.. i had trouble w/ also.. just notice from the old airbox.. i'm not sure how to say this but the sensor that detects the amount of air in is through that little thing.. you can find it at the stock airbox.. just remove it and then plugg it back to the wire and use that to fit it in the hole.. my friend and i was figuring it out for like 30 mins.. till i found that tip to attach back to the wire.. hope that helps.. oh yea.. You got PM.. check it.. its from me .. thanks

Damn, 5-8 HP for only $40. Maybe I'll buy one too.

Chico · 05-04-2003, 01:38 AM

and wat is the stupid metal thing for?

crazy_camry · 05-04-2003, 03:24 AM

it would be a bracket to support the intake tube. it probably mounts onto the shock tower. have a look at the site below, it shows how to do the whole processto fit a short ram intake;

thanks for all the help i really appreciate it but i still need to kno wat is the purpose of the breaher

WickedGen3 · 05-04-2003, 12:46 PM

what breather? the cone? or the little black thing? if your refering to the black thing .. i think its just to tell the engine that your sucking the correct amount of air.. w/o it the computer won't know how much air your taking into our engine.. and if you don't put that in then you will get the " engine check light " on all the time.. hope that helps..

in the box came a lil filter thing that says breather it looks like the cone in a way n has a small hole at the other end?

WickedGen3 · 05-04-2003, 09:01 PM

not really clear on what your talking about.. if you post some pics i think some one will help.. or me.. but w/o looking at it.. hard to explain what it is.. sorry dude !

the breather can go on your Valve cover vent ...

The little hole on the intake pipe is for the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor.

The breather filter goes on the valve cover. Theres a hose that runs from the valve cover to the throttle body. Remove the hose and plug off the hole on the throttle body.
