Custom FWI Pictures

[Taz Magister]

First of all I probally put this in the wrong place so sorry for that.

Anyways I needed a weekend project and I also needed an intake so I made one and heres some pictures for you all. Feel free to tell me if i did anything wrong.

[redlinepontiac]

looks good man

[dmahlikGT]

Yup thats nice.I should make mine FWI style but too lazy right now.take pics when installed

[Taz Magister]

I would install it today but I gotta make room in the garage and im not sure what all im going to have to do to get the bumper off

[PurpleGuy]

remove the headlights, there's two screws in the wheel wells for the bumper cover, then thrers the three top push pins and then you MIGHT have some underneath. If not then the whole thing will come right off....you can do it in literally 10 minutes if you know how.

Get that thing on there...it looks awesome...probably the best homeade intake i've seen.

I might be able to brave the cold for 10 mins if thats all it would take plus the time to put the intake on but as long as its not an hour idk im gona go look at it and see if can find what all holds it on

It might take a little bit longer your first time.....but after youve done it once it will be a cakewalk the next time.

[Taz Magister]

yea I looked at it and thought about it and I think Im just gonna wait til its a little warmer and I the garage picked up a bit more and plenty of time cause I be all ocd about it and start working on other parts that were hidden by the bumper in the meen time I need to figure out what im going to do with the pcm tray so it dosent look retarted

[Taz Magister]

anyone know if it matters how big you make your intake?

[Bio248]

for you, probably doesnt matter so long as youre 3" or bigger. length wise i'd say you're fine too.

[blueguy]

You don't have to remove the bumper to install that thing...just take out the airbox and toss the PCM in there somewhere.

[Taz Magister]

yea its 4" id

if i just put it where the airbox is ill proabally have to remove a few inches but i might do that and then when its warmer maybe put it in the fender more one thin im worried about is water. Do these things stop water from getting in at all cause i doubt they do

[blueguy]

Like I've said before...unless your forging the river at Devil's rock...with Typhoid fever...and 2 dead oxen...you don't have to worry about any water in the intake.

But you may lose two days if you are attacked by ninja's.

Don't lie to me about Ninja's...they weren't on teh Oregon Trail. They were in the Civil War.

K sounds good then ill probally put this thing on today then and just leave it where the airbox used to be cause I see no point in moving 2-3 more inches to see a gain of what .05 hp and maybe half a degree colder air

one other questioun does it matter where I put the IAT sensor or can it just go anywhere on the intake? cause I would like to put it on the bottem side so you cant see it

[blueguy]

I'd put it as far away from the exhaust as you can as long as your putting it back in...it basically just does what it is called...it senses the temp of the air coming in your intake tract...so the closer it is to colder air the better reading your gonna get.

i just built my CAI and i heat wrapped it just to make sure the temps stay nice and low.

Taz you get this put on?

Yea but in the end I said screw it and just put it right on the tb with the elbow. I might move it into the bumper to try and get rid of some of the noise because the sound of the air moving through this thing sometimes is just too much but heres one picture I thought I had more.
