CAI Problems Solved!
Re: CAI Problems Solved!
And huh??? Who asked you if you needed a loan???
What's up your *** dude?
What? You're a "Senior Member" of a Crossfire Club so you waste your time trying to belittle newbies who have a passion for working on their cars themselves and fabricating solutions to problems they've come across???
I would never waste my time asking you if you needed a loan. I couldn't care less about what you do and don't need in your life...

I think most of us are a little confused with your signature. I've been on different automotive forums for over a decade, and until today I'd never seen someone use their work signature on a forum. Wouldn't you think it strange if I used my forum signature on a work email? That would be out of place, right? Get it?
Regardless, welcome to the forum. And for the record, 180 treats us all this way, so stop thinking you're special.

Re: CAI Problems Solved!
And a very respected Senior Member at that. And there are a number of respected Canadian members here.
No one listens to them, but we respect them just the same.
And 180 just isn't as polite as the rest of us. He was merely the first to tell you that what you did is quite a common thing to do when one starts to upgrade the cold air intake system. The very first thing, in fact.
Both 180 and I are old, but we've been here a long time and seen ever'thing.

Re: CAI Problems Solved!
That's why I am such a nice guy.
You came on here like you had discovered a cure for cancer or something, and I pointed out that you were a bit late and a dollar short. No offense but I thought you were trying to come up with some business, like some troll or whatever. We try and help but .............
You need some 3" and 2 1/2" (2 3/4"?) rubber or silicon tube to go through those rad support holes.
Money lender in NJ, easy, here's his house. Or is that Tony Sopranos, I get confused at times.
It actually is the house seen in the Sopranos, Tony is seen walking down the driveway to pick up his paper. The pool scenes look like they were done by the pool out back.

Re: CAI Problems Solved!
LMAO..... This is what happened when the Chevy Impalas guys started busting my *****...I told each of them where they lived.... Facebook.... full of information just like what Richie posted... SECURITY...right.
Anyway. I won't bust your ***** kid. IT is usually the 1st thing you try to mod, and many did just what you are doing until Rob at Needswings did the 1st single CAI, which has been copied many different ways by the Handyman builder with some "plumber" knowledge. It's big $$$$ to move up to a Needswings CAI whether single or a dual, but all the research and development has been done, and they work. So you get what you pay for. KIND OF AN INVESTMENT. I couldn't resist....sorry....mod away and welcome.... AS for us old types....well, hell we don't like each other much either...kind of like being on the IMPALA forum.

Re: CAI Problems Solved!
Richie, you will find that the OEM engine cover is restrictive, even with the air filters removed, but if you are going with that anyway, make certain you are getting a good seal between both the removable covers and the main cover. This has been an issue in the past, seems the plastic covers can warp.
A Needswings or DIY CAI is the preferred way to go, the part that is hard to find ( but can be found ) is the 90 degree 3" silicone elbows. If you keep all the OEM plastic junk from the throttle body and up, it's hard to connect to,
If you drop the plastic stuff, then you are stuck with how to mount the MAF/IAT sensor.
Rob at Needswings has all this covered, albeit at a price .....

If you wanna go all out, take a look at maxcichon's homemade DCAI :
CrossfireForum.org - maxcichon's Album: Member Galleries - Picture
At any rate, you will soon also want a 74MM throttle body upgrade, and a EuroCharged tune.

Are you referring to a 90 degree elbo to mount coming off the MAF/throttle body? If so, yes that was my biggest hurdle when deciding how to cut out the restrictive engine cover and come straight from TB. Basically what I'm trying to fabricate for now is tubing which will connect to my two cone filters in front of the radiator and connecting to tubing coming off off engine cover (the real problem rest in the ability to fit through the small, oblong shape on both sides of the radiator. I figure once I can do that, I can easily just cut out the cover and go straight to TB (assuming I use the 90 degree elbo).

So what? There are a number of Canadian's on here and I've yet to meet one I didn't like. But you've opened the can of worms for others. Just roll with it and hopefully others will end it. Suggest you find some fellow owners up your way and they'll help you understand the community a little better.

Don't take it personal, that is what 180 does from time to time to just about anyone. But do take advantage of the search feature...though it does get overwhelming with the results. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

With all this info for a small fee you may be able to find his home address and other info.
There is already a picture of where he works. I thought I had found his home but the picture is of Tony Sopranos home.

Re: CAI Problems Solved!
If you want to find info about anyone on here, it isn't that hard to do.... IF he wants to display and advertise....have at it.... Doesn't both me....and he will learn in time...just like they all do.... When you start mod....the $$$$$$ start to flow and at least he knows where to get the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Re: CAI Problems Solved!
1. Get a 74mm throttle body ( don't forget a new O ring too )
2. Get a EuroCharged tune to go along with that CAI and 74mm.
3. If you really want a project, figure out how to prevent those aluminum tubes from becoming heat soaked from the radiator and engine ......
