That would be a good one to try. If this thing got too loud my plan was to install an electric manualy operated valve.

 

hey Sr20... i wanted to ask you a question hopefully you or anyone else can answer it. I have a 2k3 and i looked at the bottom of my stock intake and it doesnt have a hole... does that mean if i wanted to perform the home made CAI i would have to cut a hole? If you dont know what I am talking about here is the link:

If anyone has dont it on their 2k3, please let me know... thanks.

 

The 2k3 has the same scoop under the hood as the 2K-2K1 which is what that setup is on. If it worked on the 2K-2K1 there is no reason as to why it should not work on a 2K2-2K3. Same scoop, same mod.

 

Very interesting! Any idea where the other end of the new hose goes?

 

Doesnt the 2k 2k1 have some kind elbo or some kind of silencer? I felt around under the big airscoop and further down and i didnt feel any hole... thats why i was wondering if we manually have to drill one.. here let me show a pic:






on the last pic is what i was asking about a hole at the bottom... And how big it would have to be. I know the size of the tube, not the hole.

 

Yeah, to the splash guard



Here it is with a scoop



I got this info from here

That elbow on all the 5gth gens is blocked off. None of them are cut to begin with, you have to do that yourself. How wide should it be, well my guess is as wide as that adapter is (how wide is the adapter ) But im sure that you have to cut the elbow yourself, just make sure you unplug the sensor be4 you remove the scoop and do the cut and you should have no problems at all. An extra hole wont hurt anything, even if you dont use the 3" tube to the slashguard the extra hole in the scoop will let in more air. That air will be hot air since its under the hood so its better to just do the whole tube thing.

 

The scoop thing is just too ghetto for my liking, besides with the car sitting on teins ill break that off in notime.

 

Thank You, you anwered my question!!!!!

 

No prob.

 

Tru, But i think you can detach it anytime you want, so when you go to the track or know your gonna race someone... Otherwise, the vac tub itself should be no prob..

 

I have a question for you all.. How do I remove the two screws on the front air scoop? I tries to unscrew them but they kept turning forever (I used a drill) and they didnt come loose...I think i kinda rounded them off a little....

 

HAHA!


Hold the outer rim down with your fingers and use a hand held srewdriver to spin out the center.

 

MOTHERFU................. If it was that easy, I am a moron... Thanks SR!!!

 

You got to it be4 I had a chance to.

 

Hey guys, amm..... i held the outer ring and kept turning and... ah.... it didnt come out.. So i tried the other one.... and now i stead of two screws that holds it down, i have two screw things with holes (i rounded it out big time)... the screws rounded like it was cheap plastic... even before when i first tried... I thought it was made of plastic.... Now what do I do????? please help... thanks..

 

I even tried to rip the plastic of... that **** is stronger than the damn screw!!! Oh yeah, since i thought the screws where plastic, i put some glue to harden inside the hole so maybe i can try to loosen it again tommorrow.... Am i screwed?

 

Ahh man thats funny. Looks like you have to get two other clips. Dont worry about the ones you have right now, just break em.
Put the screw driver under the round plastic part and hit the back to the screwdriver witha hammer if you cant break it any other way. Here is were you screwed up. When you turn the little screws in the clips, dont put any pressure on them at all. Just turn them and it will slowly pop out. Obviously too late for that so just break em off, or pry em out or something. Stupid nissan will probably charge out like .75 for each clip or something. Its no big deal but next time dont use any pressure while turning them.

 

haha... i didnt use any pressure until they started getting rounded off.... I was like oh ****!!! so i posted the message.. now i dont have to worry about it getting rounded off..... they are.... and will they break easily? Or do I have to hit them til they do? as much bad luck as I have had, i am scared that ill be hammering away and loose grip of the hammer and crack my headlight!

 

Ok then stay away from the hammer. They are plastic, they should break off. If not put the screwdriver under it and pry the damn thing off. Just get them off, who cars how.

 

Before you wrote this post, i went the hammer route, firt hit with the hammer and i scraped the scoop!! oh well, i got one of the clips of realizing that if i took the other one off, the scoop will fall of.. so, ill mess with it tommorrow when i get a replacement clip. Thanks for the help...

 

Scoops a scoop a scratch on a peice of plastic wont harm nothing. Have fun dude.

 

thanks!

 

Has anyone done a Dyno with the GAB or the PAB? Has anyone done the track time for the GAB or PAB? (please post auto or manual) Thanks!

 

is it still working good? how is the ol' filter doing??

 

The Filter gets really dirt.. Check it every 1500 miles depending on where you live.

 

Hey, Why doesnt my sig show up anymore?

 

you have you check the little box on the bottom

 

ahhh... thanks.

 

The secret sauce manifold seems to like it just fine. My SAFC-II likes it better than the GAB.
