yes you need to find a way to cover the nipple hole. wat i did wit the niple hole wasnt really sealing it. i sawed off most of the nipple and left a little bit of the nipple there. i used a wrench and squeezed the hole together so that there was no air leak or anytthing. also if you plan on doing this, before you start up the car, make sure you get all the little shards of metal out.

 

how about somehting like silicone?

 

Hey, what were the disadvatages/advantages to hybrid vs. Pop charger again? Think it'd be worth the month going from JWI(jim wolf) pop charger to hybrid?

 

Do you thnk there is room to push the batt back a little and use a straighter pipe?

 

that would be good but ur maf sensors wires are short and won't reach

 

I have been thinking of installing CAI but i live in Phoenix.

Will the 110 degree temperature during the day hurt my engine with CAI?
Would it be better to go with ram air in AZ?

 

Pitbull where did you get the Template from? Ive been looking around cant seem to find it.... And as for the bypass valves where does it get put in the cai. should it be located somewhere in the alluminum...meaning more cutting?

 

i would try to put it b4 the maf..yes more power tools

 

Well i got the template. i dont know where the hell to put the bypass valve...

 

before the maf

 

Meaning more toward the engine or on the other side toward the outside? please dont scream.....{momma}.....

 

my accord cold air only has one opening..how did u get the blue hose on the blk one.. its smaller..ill have pics up 2morrow

 

What kind of maf adapter did you use?

 

the original poster used:

"I eventually purchased a MAF Adapter and Intake combo for a 93 Z32, from the same seller above on eBay ($20 or so shipped)
"

 

Thanks. I found that out after i posted.

is this intake any good.... i heard that the styrofoam filters are ****... im wondering if i can put on a normal one, but the thing is that its supposed to fit the maxima witout any cutting...

If you look at the 90-93 accords intake there are two parts. The midpipe and the other pipe leading inside of the fender well. The midpipe is the pipe that ends at our stock location thus preventing any cutting to the fender well. The other pipe you'll have to cut the fender to get to the true CAI approach. WHy pay over 200 for something you can pay 60 for and get similar gains?

BTW that pic is not for the VG engine.

 

hey how many maf adapters will i need, just one?? and i can get them from ebay also right?

 

don't get the "maxima" MAF adapter

 

Mine has ABS and it's on the right.

I've been thinking of putting together a CAI out of an upper tube from WSP and a JWT pop-charger. That'd certainly be easy to make fit...but also very pricey :\

 

what should i use then for adapters?

 

300Z has the correct bolt pattern

 

how much would they cost?? and how many do i need

 

1 and no clue on cost

The easiest route would have been to use the old flange inside the airbox.

Just drill out the 2 rivets holding it on. Have it trimmed down, $10-$15 at a local machine shop. And bolt it up to the MAF. It already has the nuts for the bolts. And a 3" air filter clamps on almost perfect (depending upon how good the shop is) The shop I took mine to did a great job.

 

Or get a dremel and do it yourself.

 

Ohh, that would be so much fun. The last time I used a dremel it was on my friend's sub woofer box. He had just bought the new hand held attachment for his, and we decided to use it on the box. He was upgrading his terminals. Got a little carried away...

I'm stuck right now between a dremel... or a Plasma Cutter I would get both, but I want to finish the stereo in my truck.

 

dremel or plasma cutter?
$50 or $800?

 

So much fun to cut stuff. Of course I have to try and hold back. Or I'd have a new style of pinstriping on my car. And my wife would be pissed

 

so buy the intake kit for a 90-93 accord and a MAF adapter for a 300ZX and just hook it up, correct?? just making sure before i sink my money on it

 

pretty much it. do you plan on doing the 2nd pipe or just the first one between the intake manifold and maf?

 

 

i prolly will just do the first one, short ram, i dont' feel like cutting into the fenderwell, so a short ram will work till i decide not to be lazy
