What do i need to do to just mount the pod in the engine bat without a CAI.

Just want to get the filter in and i know there are more gains from having the CAI, and that will come later, but just need to know what is required just to do a basic install ?

hey is this the CAI that he used : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FALKEN-1991...=item439c89763b or this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1990-1991-1...=item51900df290

BUMP!! Can someone find the cai on ebay for me just incase por favor

I'm a Jersey 6GC. With our weather, it probably doesn't make much sense to put in a CAI because I'm thinking if its closer to the bottom then, chances are rain water and all that are going to get sucked in. Any thoughts?

you can still do it, and it will work fine, just watch out for huge puddles when it's raining lol

bigger it is more air can flow through!

Thinking of doing this and have done quite a bit of research and have a few questions
1. I have noticed on a lot of other forums people have suggested using non metallic piping as the pipes will heat up due to the heat under the bonnet, which will negate the effect the cold air intake has. If the piping was to be wrapped in header wrap, would this effectively keep the piping cool or would this be a bad idea?
2. Is the stock resonator integral to the stock air system? If not could you disconnect it and close up the hole in the system to provide the sound and then just use a K&N drop in filter?
3. Has anyone used a pre-filter? Do they restrict air flow? and are they worth it?
4. The bypass valve will reduce hp gains and sound from the CAI. In the end, is it just for the bling look under the bonnet? Because from what i can gather the gains expected are 3hp at max and the bypass valve takes away 2-3hp.

Sorry to be a pain, my car is my baby atm and don't wanna hurt it =P

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, I saw this on ebay and wanted to know if anybody has used this CAI kit or knows about this?

I've used at company "chrom intakes" and the short ram fitted fine.
The filter was better than the spectre ones from auto parts stores

But that price is too high, I got mine for 28 shipped

Can anyone tell me what model of an SRI would fit our cars?
i was going to get the CAI and just cut it down but it seems a waste if i can one to fit straight in?
has anyone got any pictures of a homemade/modded SRI?
moving in favour towards the SRI with hood vents due to the flooding in my area lately.

Look on ebay, you can pick one up for about 30 bucks.

Which make/model fits though?

Depends what you want.
Injen makes a SRI, or you can just get a "no name" one and throw a good filter on it, its all the same.
Got mine from a seller called "chromeintakes"or something like that.
Just search 95-99 celica short ram intake or something of the sort, and you'll find something.

Thanks, what's your opinion on the chromeintakes setup?
It suck I have to pay triple just in postage!!!

Ohh yea didn't realize you were in Austrailia.
Try looking for something on ebay.uk, or something similar so you don't have to ship overseas.
I love the sound of mine, nice and loud.
For performance, it probably does the same minimal amount every SRI does. I can't really remember the change I noticed when I did put it on cause it was so long ago.

Thread REVIVE for my SAKE! XD

So I got the 2.5" Accord CAI 2pc set and I tried to install it but the throttle body is smaller than 2.5". Went around to local auto stores and they didn't have any 2.25" to 2.5" coupler. So I ordered one online and hopefully it'll fit.

Mission accomplish. Not the final product but it'll do for now.
