just installed fujita CAI- wierd noise
just put in my fujita intake, looks and sounds great, but when i really get on it and the RPMs jump up real fast, i hear a high-pitched whining/screech...i checked to see if it was rubbing up against anything, didnt seem to be that. i was thinking it could be the filter breaking in or something like that? any thoughts?

I also installed mine 2 days ago! Bought it from Raz and wow it sounds great. When I first installed it I went for a test drive then suddenly my car shuts down. I was so pissed then I went to take a look...bamm the CAI just detached lol....I guess I didnt screw it tight enough I also had to make a homemade rubber mount since someone forgot to ship it with the intake lol :P. Well overall everything is fine after that. Maybe you should reset or something...

If engine knock is what you are actually hearing, then you have a lean condition. You are already using 93 octane, so we can rule that out. Engine detonation is caused by not enough fuel. I wouldn't think that adding just a CAI would cause a lean condition in the engine. I have a Nismo, and I haven't experienced any detonation. SOME detonation is normal...so I'm told. Excessive detonation is not normal, and is harmful to the engine.

I was reading about this problem recently on a tuner magazine,that a cai can trick the MAF sensor and trigger knock sensor,or cause air/fuel ratio confusion.i didnt had no codes or ses light on though,and like i said the engine knocking is not there no more.....i just wanted to hear some different opinions. thanks for your help Hawaii.
