Looks like a ghettofied, extended version of the Injen... did you give up on installing the PRCAI correctly or something?

Oh, and connect that breather hose. You're sucking dirty air into the crankcase AND the engine with that hose disconnected.

And don't call it an "AEM CAI". It's eBay's finest. You're not impressing anyone. End rant...

You need to remove the bottom half of the stock air box. Then you need to use a hole saw and make a 3" or so hole in the inner fender so you can put the filter behind the fender liner. The kit you have should work you just need to make the hole.

It fits. You have to drill a 3" hole in the engine bay. Here's it installed correctly:

I wasn't aware that AEM made a PRCAI knockoff with crappy eBay welds, but you're the expert.

I know ... I have a missing bolt/nut on the MAF ... fixed after this pic taken.

this is how I ran mine ... it sits just under the trans ... and I know, some of us Orgrz don't call that a CAI ... but I do FWIW.

Just an idea of how to do the "ebay" type CAI - without cutting a hole in the fender. Also ... I used a rubber pipe clamp to connect the lower part under the MAF. Hope this might help someone .... although, I don't know who. lol



edit: btw ... I did chop the pipe at the 90 bend to put it further down

I was going to say the same thing. Bizzle, your intake is a disaster. I've never seen anything like that. At least now you know how to do it properly.

And what the heck is a 'Dump valve' as stated in your sig??

Dump valve .... you don't have no steenkin dump vavle ... LOL

Here:
Dump valve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Have questions? Find out how to ask questions and get answers. •

Dump valves are fitted to the engines of (usually older) turbo charged cars and sit between the turbo outlet and the throttle body. When transitioning from a boosted state to a closed throttle state (as in between shifts), due to inertia, the turbo continues to pressurize air, but the closed throttle prevents the compressed air from entering the engine. In this case the pressure exceeds the preset spring pressure in the dump valve and the excess pressure is bled off to atmosphere.

Even with a dump valve the compressed air acts as a brake on the turbo (slowing it down), because the pressure on the backside of the turbo is at a higher pressure than on the front side (and the air actually wants to flow through the turbo backwards).

A blowoff valve is a more elegant solution to this problem by allowing the turbo to "freewheel" when the throttle is closed (equalizing the pressure on both sides of the turbo). Unlike a dump valve a blowoff valve can be used at multiple boost settings without reconfiguration.

Blowoff valves are sometimes incorrectly called dump valves because they serve a similar function, but they are very different solutions to the same problem.

I own 3 turbo Supras as well, so of course I know what you're referring to when you say "dump valve"

Waiting for pics.

: so ... you have a trubo or an SC then????? cause your intake sure as he!! doesn't look like it at all mate. Exhaust dumps and a dump valve are two totaly different things. Don't confuse yourself or others. All you are doing with that exhaust is letting it out before the resinator / muffler. So ... you call them what you want, but the TRUE deffinition of a "dump valve" is as noted above. And ... just from the looks of it, that intake needs work. I guess it's how YOU want to do it. But ... please, don't come on the ORG and start being an azz just becasue you THINK you know things.


You'll be treated how you treat others on here ... and with that being said I'll just say .... :stfu:

No offence but that isnt even close to what a dump valve is....you are not "dumping" excess exhaust but rather shortening the route the exhaust takes to get out....I would call that an exhaust cutout rather then an exhaust dump....
