Air intake mods

[DJKOR]

Rowan did attempt some videos guys. Look back on page 7:

intake gave it a reasonably deep note

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

wasnt me driving btw, cousin just got a taste of the transmission lag and hit limiter lol

but that raaaaaahhh noise is the intake

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

lol no we wont thnx Ash

[ELEGNT]

i got some awesome sound clips before i sold it ill load them when i get some time

hi DJKOR did you check out adaptors for the air mass meter? i have now removed all of the airbox, but was not sure what to do with the vacuum hoses so i just connected the hose from the intake manifold to the vacuum conection on the SRI.

No I haven't. Been a bit lazy these days. Also have some other plans in the works.

I can see one hose there that you have connected incorrectly. What you are meant to do is connect the two small vacuum lines together that originally connected to the top corner of the airbox. You then block off the branch of the T-piece later down the line that originally fed the butterfly valve for the stock intake box. Only two lines will then connect to your new intake. The large hose which is for crankcase ventilation, and a small vacuum hose that was originally connected to the upper resonator.

have changed them around and have blocked off the grey pipe, i can hear the switch, down near the bottom of the radiator clicking when i start up and turn off.

That's good then. Just to let you know, you have to have those two hoses connected that go down towards the bottom of the radiator if you want your car to run like it should. Your front engine mount uses vacuum to help reduce vibration at idle speeds.

thanks again DJKOR I wondered where those hoses went, anyway I was not happy with the alignment of the SRI , behind the battery so I swapped the section with the air mass meter with the vacuum hose section (see pic ) and aligned it with the top air intake snorkel to draw more cooler air in, sort of cross between an SRI and a CAI I spose. works a treat.

here is the final setup for my intake, I have found that a smaller pod works best. the only setback I have had is on the highway the tranny wont go from 4th to 5th it sticks, getting new ecu wed might fix it, changes ok in S mode though. love that feeling of the car nearly floating giving it some stick ! I have also just put the vacuum hose from phelam chamber to the intake, I did not notice any difference eliminating the vacuum to the engine mount.

Sorry if this has been asked but how does teh open air pod setups go for rego?

Pass or fail? <_<

I blocked off the lower resonator today and can definitely hear the difference after 3500rpm..

The car idled 500-700rpm higher than usual for about 2 minutes then went down to normal idle speed. I'm not sure what that means.. it might be nothing, but I like to think there was an airflow improvement and it adjusted it's self. :P

If you think that made a difference in sound, you should hear what changing the upper resonator together with changine the vacuum hoses around does. Nowhere near a SRI, but it sounds half decent. I am so buying a K&N SRI after Christmas.

I can guarantee you that the increase in RPM had nothing to do with removing that resonator. The lower resonator barely provides any resistance to airflow, so the engine won't even notice it gone.

I would say that it was more to do with the engine 'cold start' process. I've had it happen with mine before where it thinks it is a cold start even when the engine is warm, and idles higher than normal, but drops down within about a minute.

Thanks for crushing my dreams.. LOL.. It probably has something to do with disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time as well.

There are pros an cons to having a deeper note. pro: I like the sound and passengers are surprised.. con: The fiancee has a fit every time I go over 3000rpm because she can hear the engine and probably now more so. So what if I like to over take people???

Cool, definitely do the SRI!!! I have the moding bug but shouldnt be spending money :(

[DJKOR]

That there would be your answer. You have reset your ECU. You better drive it hard for the next hundred k's or so. Make it learn it.

Any response on the rego :D ?

there maybe different regulations for this particular mod, state to state. you would have to check the regulations in your area, if this is legal.

[DJKOR]

Any response on the rego :D ?

You don't need an inspection don't you if your car is under 5 years old right? If that's the case, you should be fine. Otherwise it needs to be enclosed (for NSW). I'm not sure what your registration inspection covers though. A NSW local would have to answer that.

with mine being a taxi, it gets inspected twice yearly, and there is no problem having it in open space here. had the same setup on the camry for 4 years.

[Pacie]

yeah hear in NSW they are really strict with what is allowed.

It would be good to have a topic setup on law restrictions for each state :)

i find it hard to even google the laws

[SecaBoy]

the problem with a section for laws is that they are constantly changing and the penalties change too.. so it would be pretty hard to keep up with the changes... :(

its pretty hard to find info on the gov's sites, but all the info you need *should* be on there.. just set aside 4 days to find the info...

'as promissed.. Lower Intake Resonator removal DIY'

I'm a noob.. I want to do this but im not confident enough to take it apart >_<

For what it's worth, just removing this does not provide much increase in induction sound. You have to be listening to notice it.

Removing it though is as easy as shifting the battery aside and then removing the front snorkel and reaching down to take out the resonator. It's like a 5 minute job.

I agree with DJKOR. The difference is minimal but still worth the quick mod.

It is really easy, breifly read over that forum link you posted then just go for it. I opted to leave the resinator in (after reading DJKORs posts) and blocked it off by using some thick plastics held in place with some rubber bands and then thick electrical tape over the top of the white resinator so it fits snug into the black intake. It isnt going anywhere but I can take the plastic out in a few minutes if I ever needed.

Note: Disconnect the negative terminal socket before the positive terminal socket. Otherwise, you may short circuit the positive terminal to a grounded part of the car.

This maybe a stupied question but dose the aurion have a IAT sensor?? i know that run MAF and IAT and just wondering if the aurion dose??
