here ya go... by the way that red power wire is there temporarily, it doesent actually rub up against the battery bolt... also is it okay that the intake is just resting on something and that its not actually bolted down?

Looks nice...it's the same setup I have. At first, I didn't strap the filter down and then when I cleaned it, it was all worn out on the other side. So what I did was buy some plumber's strap ($3) from Home depot and cut off like 4 inches and made a cheapy brace.

Clean that negative terminal!

yeah the filter vibrates a lot, i was looking at it with the engine running... and YES i do need to clean that terminal. iv got some plumbers strap too so that sounds like a good idea, thanks!

+sorry newbie question+

what's the thing between the stock tube and the filter?

For the 92-93's it is an Air Flow Meter... For the 94+ it is a Mass Air Flow Sensor... Both of them are there to let the engine computer know how much air is coming into the engine so that the computer knows how much fuel to mix with the air to achieve a certain A/F ratio.

wassup man..nice filter. just curious where did u find it? i am looking for a blue filter to match my weapon r intake pipe and i dont really like the looks of the weapon r filter. let me know. thanks

you should really consider putting some kind of support or brace to hold up the filter. the intake that i installed had some thick metal piece that i was able to bend and bolt to the holes that the OEM airbox used.

CS121 · 04-08-2002, 06:38 AM

thank you for the pic! i will do some sort of support by the end up this week and get a pic or two up. thanks for your help.

and i got this adapter and filter off eBay...

ehy rayray... do you move your battery? you have a lot of space infront of your filter and mine barely fit in...

***Ratko*** · 04-08-2002, 06:35 PM

Rayray has a 4 cylinder engine... that could be why.

CS121 · 04-08-2002, 06:41 PM

iv got a 4cyl too. my filter is now pretty much lined up with the stock tube coming from the bumber. his pick looks like there is a lot of space.

rayray · 04-09-2002, 03:07 AM

nah... i haven't moved anything around in the engine bay. just took out the stock airbox and put the pipe & filter in.

there is a lot of room in there though. maybe i can put one of those small fridges in there for those long road trips. :smile:

ahh i see now. what kinda filter is that? looks good.

rayray · 04-10-2002, 02:25 AM

procarparts.com ... got it off eBay a long time ago. believe it was $55 US, if i recall correctly?

someday i'll make a nicer CAI or something. but it does the job nicely for now.
