Yeah...I kinda panicked. Yeah, it was raining, so i parked my car halfway into my garage jacked up into the air with no front left wheel and battery. So, i was kinda mad. I was afraid to drive my car, with no airfilter or anything. But, i taped up the opening and shifted it into neutral and moved it.
Ok, so i did end up going to Auto Zone. I picked up an breather filter, good idea? And a black 3" coupler. The coupler took some time muscling onto the oval shapped throttle body...(why is it oval shapped?) I wish the coupler was longer...Does anyone know where i can easily and cheaply find a rubber/silicone coupler that's pretty long, and has a bend in it? Or a link to some black covered/painted 3" aluminum tubing? The intake is currently going off to the side of the engine, but it's sitting directly on top of the valve cover, which i think isn't really doing much good.
But man, this thing is a monster. It just sucks air like crazy, i car hear it. It definitely wants to be driven harder. Because compared to how it was before, it does not seem like it needs a lot to get to the same speed like when it was stock.
But now i've got a question about it. I've got the breather filter plugged ontop of the valve cover. But the sensor is not plugged in. I have two holes that aren't being used on the intake so i just ran the hose there temporarily. Is it bad not having that air sensor? And adverse effects?
