so i did the GAB and i've seen some pics where the front of the airbox was removed. You know the piece that connects to the front part near the bumper and leads intot he actual airbox. is that ok? does that help it or will that create any future problems?

 

when you take it off...it will be even louder...i've tried both....basically if you take that portion off...it will open up another hole thus sucking in more air

it won't damage anything....

 

well i looked and there are 2 sensors? or 2 wire connections that are connected through that box. what do i do with those? any pics or anything would help.

 

are you talking about the front intake snorkle? if so my 2k2 has no sensors connected to the snorkle....and no sensors in the airbox either....the only sensor I find within the intake system is the MAF...

 

he is talking about the air sensor

i removed the other box (resonator) and the scoop
i ziptied that sensor to another wire in that area

 

I think he is talking about the Air mass sensor.. I think that's the name of it.

 

sooner knows exactly what i'm talking about. There is a harness that is just using it as a support which i assumed could be moved. but theres actually a harness before the airbox that is connected to the inside of the box.

farther out shot:


1st thing that i think i just ziptie:


2nd that is the one i'm questioning:

 

i actually drilled a new hole for that sensor in the opening of the stock box...basically about an inch from where it is now

 

like this


finished product

 

ok, so just drill a small 1 inch hole and take it out of the removed piece and put it in there like you did?

 

yup..i made the hole big enough so the rubber grommit would fit in too

 

the mass air sensor is after the filter as far as air flow path goes. the two sensors are the boost sensor (just the the left in the pic). the one to the right is the air temp sensor. cali spec 2k and all 2k1s did not have the boost sensor and in 2k2, they incorporated the air temp sensor into the mass air flow. this is the piece that is moved when a 3.5 wants to use a 3.0 maf.

 

yeap.... I was wrong on the name..... but I knew what he was talking about I was trying ro move the sucker but couldn't find a place to put it.. now with sooner pic.. it will be really easy to do....... thanks

 

glad i could help out 3.0 brother

 

how is the 6speed doing so far... man You killed me with the pic..

 

well since i think the question in this thread was answered....

im loving it especially now with my berk intake installed. driving this car is a thing of beauty

i took the closeup to show off now its my sig pic

 

When I first got my Berk intake, I got about 15 mpg for a couple weeks just cuz I wanted to hear it in every gear...

 

yes the question was answered thank you very much!

 

is that something the should be done or something you wanted to do? i just removed mine and i just taped it to a nearby wire.
