INJEN CAI installed

just thought i'd update this thread.

i recently put in a 3A racing pod filter as per the pdf file i've read posted here on the forums somewhere on it's strong points on filtration and ability to literally suck more as compared to others (and by comparison of pods, it includes injen as well).

ever since i installed the 3A racing pod, without resetting the ecu at all, the check engine light dissapeared and hasn't come back for a few days now.

i think it was because the injen pod has oil in or on it which the maf sensor picks up as a contaminant and throws the CEL? whereas the 3A racing pod is a dry type filter..

i could be wrong and the CEL may come up but i got a good feeling it may be the pod...

any comments welcome.

cheers,

tom

Nice TOM!

I installed my injen cai last week, no engine light, although, my injen filter was dry and also got the hydro shield for. How did u go with the bottom bracket? I had to make up my own out of aluminum sheeting.

g'day all. first off big thanks to johnny, peter and charlie for run down of the cai installation and team efforts in getting it done. suction is best. probably the best money spent. thanks johnny for

Kenneth.
Kenneth.

Does the Injen pod come pre-oiled or did you guys have to oil it yourself during the install?

hey,

you may find out that the 3A racing filter is not a dry type and is recommended to be oiled as well.

i believe kenshin on the forums found out by calling the 3A racing manufacturer and they recommended that their filter be oiled.

Im also thinking the problem is the amount of turbulence the different pod initiates. Was reading on a few engine conversion when changing the inlet length and angles, turbulence can cause MAF errors, some people have opted for honeycomb or straw "flow correctors/ straighteners" causing straight airflow. This seems to have helped in the majority of cases.

But if everything is working ok now, be happy!

Still no errors for me! :)

hey guys ..... just a thought based one what was posted above ..... when i had my turbo conversion done the stock 2zz maf could not cope with the air flows which resulted in weird idling and a whole bunch of other issues ..... anyway it wasnt until the tuner hooked up his equipment to read what the MAF thought was going on that we found out it was the MAF .... effectively the maf i believe is a 0-5v read out .... it might be worth getting the car up on the dyno and seeing whats going on with the voltages ...... my solution was to wire in a 300zx twin turbo maf and it now deals with the air flow side of things and the stock 2zz maf does everything else ..... just a thought if u r at wits end

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.

      GR Corolla GTS Issues

      Update: Somerton Park Jarvis Toyota had the car for a full 9 hours and said they didn't test most of the faults then refused to give me the paper work. Andy the service guy and his manager Tim were dismissive and said they wouldnt investigate the problems. They said the adaptive cruise control braking is a known issue. They confirmed Android Auto wireless will not work with this model which is not what the sales guy told me i was very specific in my wording as i wanted to make sure wireless android auto was supported and was told yes it is supported. They said they cant test unless the car is hot and want me to drive for 90 minutes to 2 hours before bringing it in. Ive dealt with CMI Toyota over the last 5+ years and have had great dealings but this dealership seems like the other end of the spectrum. Upon getting home i noticed the right rear mag has been curbed. This dealership seems really untrustworthy.
