i don't remember unplugging or blocking anything off apart from a hole in the cai.. all the piping stays the same from what i remember apart from mounting the sensor to the cai..

u can put a small filter on it for time beaing but youll need to install an oil catch can to it or plum it back into your new pipework

have you put one of these CAI on your car? What is the oil catch can going to do? Its part of the air intake i thought...I was going to put a small filter on it but was not sure on the size when i was in autobarn earlier..

I have just got home after levinboy helped me put the CAI in. We just left the pipe we have been asking about, however I just went for a quick drive down to the shops and my engine light is now on. Does anyone know why it would be on? We did everything right in putting the CAI on....Has it got something to do with the pipe coming from the engine block that we have left off??

mate, i had the exact same problem with my TRD CAI on my facelift many moons ago.

heres my thread : http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...c=14113&hl=

overall, the orange light cleared by itself over the space of 1-2 weeks--im thinking the ECU learnt to cope with it. But you have to buy a small filter/breather from supercheap. Costs arnd $13--arnd 3cm big.

Doesnt matter about the size as long as the filter looks like a minii, as most of them will come with a small clamp that u can screw on to fit arnd the hole of the cam cover.

hope it helps

I didnt find that thread..thanks for that dave!! But still at the end of that thread they said the pipe has to be connected back onto the air intake? Have you done that or just left the small filter on the end? When you first put the CAI in did you just leave that pipe hanging there with nothing on it, and that was when the light on the dash appeared?

Thanks for the reply though!!

he left the pipe there..the engine light came on n off..but at the end it went away...

what he did was take the whole pipe off..n attatched a small breather there... :) it sounds really sexy too..very high pitch noise

ok cool. So is the breather just a little filter? And is it underneath the engine cover where this pipe comes from? Pics would be awesome if you could get some dave..

thanks for the help. Im guna put a breather on it tomoro morning and see if that will make the orange light on the dash go out. Otherwise dad has told me I should just put the pipe straight back into the intake through the rubber adaptor between the intake pipe and the manifold. Ill post up how it goes though..

haha champion jeremy~ very well explained ;)

cheers for that!

yeah dood..the small filter wont stop ur engine light.

give it 1-2 weeks. and ur light should turn off automatically

the ecu will learn that it has a new cold air intake and it will switch off

then if it doesnt help connect a pipe bak to the rubber of the intake. but i wuldnt go putting a hole in ur TRD yet, seems a bit of a waste imo

enjoy the intake :)

ok today i went to autobarn n bought a small breather filter and attached it onto the breather pipe. I see what you mean Jeremy about the high pitch noise that comes out of it, and it does it whenever you put your foot on the accelerator...Im guessing this is the same as what urs does dave? :unsure:

pics show what ive done....

      Insurance

      Yeah, kind of what I've been thinking, but due to how bad the drivers are through Chatswood and those areas I'll probs ensure it with someone like AusPost who have the cheapest insurance and will insure me but I will definitely get the cameras you suggested thankyou so much

      Insurance

      If you've answered all their questions honestly & tried all the majors then there's nothing you can do other than find the cheapest quote for 3rd party because that's the minimum you need to be out on the roads. Some 3rd party insurance will also cover your car up to a small amount ($3000) if the other party is at fault & they have no insurance. Because you will be driving around with no insurance for your own car, I suggest getting quality dashcams front & rear to cover yourself incase of any claims you need to make against someone at fault. I recommend the viofo A129 pro duo https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295468431227 Start getting quotes again for comprehensive insurance, once enough time lapses to have confidence answering those licence disqualification questions without needing to disclose. Usually 3-5 years after the fact....

      Insurance

      Hey guys I'm new here I've run into a pretty major issue, I've just bought myself a 2007 aurion sx6 as an 18 year old red p plater who commutes to sydney city daily around 165km round trip (six days per work) for work. When I was younger I got done with some heft demerits and was given a police suspension (Dec 2022-Feb 2022) in court the judge ordered my license to be canceled (hence the red P plates at nearly 19) and I was suspended again in December of 2023 until March 2024 when I got caught by a camera doing 6km over the limit in the tolls tunnels (stupid ik) - and just before I bought my car I was T-Boned on my motorbike not at fault but a claim was made, most insurers are flat out refusing to insure me and the ones that don't refuse quote me around $5000-$6000 for full comprehensive. Have no family whose insurance I can be added to and as an apprentice I really can't afford $5000 for insurance. I know all of this is a result of stupid decisions made when younger - but if anyone has any helpful tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated I have been on the train for the past 3 months and it's a 4 hour trip each way so kind of need this sorted

      Ticking Hilux 5le

      Hi all, got a 2004 diesel 4x4 Hilux with the 5le motor in it. 250,000 kilometres, i’m the second owner and have had it about 9 months. Since I bought it there has always been a constant ticking noise while driving (anywhere over 1200rpm) but not while idling. Does it while accelerating, maintaining speed and decelerating. No real impact on power and I get about 12.5L per 100km. I never worried about it too much but it’s starting to ***** me off a bit. I’ll link a video below, any clues what could be causing the noise?

      Hmm it seems like I can't quote anyone except the original post. @Wing (hope I tagged right person) I definitely relate. You did incredibly well with that find! Crazy low KMs!

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Thanks for the post Aldo. Googling echo upgrades lead me to this thread and now I'm a member. I definitely hear you. I've been looking in to turning my 03 Echo in to a soft roader. I bought it for 2k (clear coat was cooked) back in 2021. I managed to lose my license in it within first 3 weeks. I HUGELY underestimated how much up and go it has. Although on fresh tyres, previous owner went cheap. In the wet, driving hard, I was spinning until 3rd gear/ or around 75kmh. Have been playing around with it, looking at suspension upgrades, bash plates etc, even a snorkel 😂 but best I've been able to come across so far would be swapping suspension and wheels from a Jimny or similar. Would require a bit of custom modifications and therefore engineering certificate etc. There already seems to be some great posts in here. Definitely suspension and air flow seme to be the go. Since we have the old cable 🚠 based throttle, unfortunately we can't do drive-by-wire. I was introduced to that by a workmates 06? Hilux 4x2... That thing pulled *HARD* just from changing the mode selected on the DBW. V6 obviously but yeah. Definitely following this thread and gonna pop the air filter next 👍🏽 👍🏽
