I've just gotten a short-ram intake off of ebay (35$shipped) gonna put an extension to make it CAI. I've looked at some set ups of the installation, but i dont see where to connect the little rubber tubing! Does anyone know where or have it picture of where it connects to?
well i've check the forums but i cant find a specific location of where the tubing goes.... heres a picture.... <img src="http://www.revotec-usa.com/product/intake/ninca92.jpg">
I've never worked on a 5sfe, so don't quote me here, but it's most likely the air recirculation tube...or something along those lines....your stock intake should have one on the tubing too...it should connect to your actual engine, around the head area....that's how it's like on the 1mz
and don't worry, the install won't be as complicated as it may seem....once you tear everything out of your car, it'll become more clear how it fits, and what goes where....the only hting you may have to do, if there isn't already as hole is drill a hole for your air temp sensor (I think that's what the 5sfe has)
good luck

hey...i got a 5sfe...putting that thing on is really easy once you get the stock hardware out...if i get a chance tomorrow afternoon i will take a pic of mine for you to see and post it or email it too you...good luck
ok thx guys :-) it'll probably be easy. I did install a CIA on my friends 03 Eclipse GT yesterday, and like you guys said, it all comes to you when you remove the stock intake Thx guys!
Ok...i've taken everything off the camry, all intake related parts (besides the pipe that goes in front of the well) i still dont see any tubing that was connected to the original plastic intake. All i saw was the sensor that plugs into the box above the filter. I do see that the valve cover has a tubing going to the throttle but i dont think that i need to take that tube off the throttle and into the custom intake. So if anyone of you have a picture of where it goes it'll be much help!
if you cant find a place dont worry about it, more then likey that thing would be made to suit multiple cars. if theres nothing to plug into it, just plug it up.
