I hope that im not the only one, but after putting the injen CAI in, there is a little tube that dosent connect to anything, but had a role with the stock intake..am i correct about this?

 

Do you have a pic of the tube?

 

I hope you're not talking about the coolant line!

 

Everything has a place.

 

Hope this helps

 

Can't remember exactly how but that goes somewhere. I think it gets re-routed. I wouldn't move the car until you fix that.

Jtso will be along shortly I'm sure to figure thso out for you.

 

Hmmmmm... Injen changed there design at some point and I have the "other" one. I'd like to help you out, but I don't know if I can. That green plastic thing is completely removed in mine.

 

I have the same one but can't remember how it goes together. I can take a look at my car afterwards if noone else replies.

 

Rmatic, what is the other end of this:



connected to?

 

Since Dan and I did the install I've always wondered WHY they changed that design? Is something wrong with the old design?

 

OK, you guys are freaking me out, becuase ive been driving like this for 1700 miles so far.

I checked it, the thing u circled is attached to that tube, they just dont go anywhere, and ive never gotten an engine light, im really worried.

 

It definently goes somehwere is all I can tell you. Wheather its a problem the way it is I have no clue, but it goes somewhere. Lemme search for the instructions.

 

Yeah. This part (from Ricecake's car):



sucked.

This is a much better design (mine looks like this): These two pics belong to joerockt.

 

that first pic is from mine (minus the hose clamps), and it was a royal PITA. that was the hardest thing about the install.

RMATIC, can you take some pics and post them so we can figure out what's missing?

 

I havent had any engline lights or anything.

 

Clutch, your pictures are both from Injen? It's odd how different the design is. Have to assume the top one is the old design, right?

 

How's your coolant level?

 

Hmm, my coolant level, lemme take some pics, the coolant is the green stuff, today i cleaned out the bay and there was this green stuff on the white container on the outside, ive never had any over heating problems, ill take pics, dont go anywhere, ill be back in 10

 

Yes. What's even more interesting is that my "INJEN" badge is in a different place than Ricecake's or joerockt's. Hmmm...

 

These are things that should have been removed. I think I see that pipe.

 

Arg

 

O ok, so maybe i just left it on, no big deal?

 

I know what the problem is now: BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING READ THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM!

Rmatic, you need to disconnect the hose clamped here (circled):



And put it here (then you can take the green thing and the small hose attached to it completely out):





NOTE: THERE IS COOLANT IN THIS LINE, and if you try to disconnect it while your engine is still warm, YOU WILL BURN YOURSELF! Wait until your engine cools down to do it.

Edit: The way you had it on wasn't really a problem, it was just leaving an unnecesary item (the green thing) in there. Either way it's fine, but taking the assembly out just cleans things up because you're not using the top part of it at all.

 

Definently the pipe that should have been removed. See my post above yours.

 

holy shit guys, my engine is still kinda warn, should i not be driving then, i dunno?

 

Thanks alot, what do u think this did to my car?!

 

Your picture is even better. Remove the hoses on 1 and 2. Then connect HOSE 1 to NIPPLE 2. Then take the green thing out. Make sense? REMEMBER, DO IT WITH A COLD ENGINE!!!!

 

All your doing is re-routing it. Its fine the way it is, but I'd change it over like Clutch suggested. Its a more direct connection.

 

Thanks guy, so my car isant going to explode... ill have to do it tomorrow morning, so the car can cool off for the night. You guys are really awesome, i appreciate all the help.

 

Clutch what Green thing are you talking about?

 

Nope. You're in no danger.

Glad we could help!

 

The tube that its connected to now, that lil green piece that im freaking otu about.

(answer to domms question)

 

I swear this thing is green. Am I color blind?

 

What you have is fine. But if you want a cleaner setup, then all you have to do is remove hose B from the engine first. Then relocate hose A connection to where hose B used to be. Then finally remove the metal tube assemble. Btw, don't disconnect any coolant hoses when the engine is hot.

 

Maybe I am. doesn't look green, at least in the pics.


Or maybe its my crappy work monitor.

 

It really doesn't matter but that middle piece is redundant now.

Just do this:


Remove the hoses in red and connect the end of the remaining hose to where the red stuff was connected to.

Edit: JTso wins.

 

how many of us can post the same instructions in one thread?

 

No, ClutchPerformer won

What the hell, we're all winner's

And rmatic wins the of the month award

Don't worry rmatic, if Dan wasn't there when I did mine, I probly would have done the same thing.

 

Actually I think I won....

 

Clutch said nipple... heh heh heh
