modded factory intake

i'm refering to the sensor you blocked off that is bolted to the valve cover with the creative mount...could be AIT sensor, im not sure because i haven't looked into making an intake for this truck.

 

nope, not an IAT sensor either. From page 2 of this thread...

 

any more updates to this thread? im interested thx

 

bump anything haha? still got it on no yes?!

 

how many degrees is the bend coming off the throttle body? thanks for help I got something in the making and will post when I'm done!

 

DAMN what did I miss. :\

 

oops...sorry, been away for awhile.

yes..still running it. BUT i plan on putting back the stock arm soon. before i do it though, i want to shoot a video of 0-60 for both setups.. just for kicks. I think my modded intake is faster at wot, but may not be the best for daily cruising. the a/c doesn't like it and now that its summer, I'll have the a/c on more often.

 

its about 90* or maybe just a bit less.

 

So what is the final verdict on your setup?

 

well... i thought this post said it...

is that good? or do I need to give more details? lmk

 

Aha, I completely missed your post. Well that kind of sucks, but someone had to try it and find out the hard way. Thanks for all the follow up information!

 

So I decided to put my modified factory intake setup back on...
but this time I added a K&N drop in panel filter!

MUCH better throttle response over the paper filter (it was a lil dirty too). I feel no low end loss cruising around town and a nice bump in power at WOT pulls from my highly tuned butt dyno.

 

Wow... Just caught this thread. Man, that's a really clean setup using the stock air box!

thanks

I like it.. great minds think alike!

 

decided to try out a 2.75" setup vs. my original 3"

 

ha.. I barely could comprehend your question without my morning coffee!!!


I drilled a hole in my brand new intake tube (very scary btw) and installed a small gromet. Its not ideal but seems to work ok. just dont pull on it


the sensor behind my intake tube is just a stupid little pressure thingy dingy that really does nothing other than tell my computer stuff that does nothing.
it is not attached at all to the air intake tube.. and YES it is the same. I reinstalled that sensor just like it was back when I first modded the intake

 

ha... the sensor is important! cause the more sensors and more computer controlled........... the better!!

 

Yeah, I was thinking of using some rubber grommets like this:

and using some silicone to insert some barbed fittings like this:

If I did it like this, I could retain the big PCV hose at the right rear corner of the valve cover, too.

 

the first pic showing the grommet is exactly what i used.

the large hose at the LEFT (always put yourself in the drivers seat) rear corner of the valve cover does nothing other than breath. old school cars used a breather filter but CA smog police will put me in jail if they see what ive done
