need help installing simota cai

snipersix · 05-05-2008, 01:00 PM

im going to get a simota CF CAI, can anyone install for me? I can treat you guys lunch somewhere. I'd appreciate the help thanks

ctgazer · 05-05-2008, 01:02 PM

its really easy...just be careful with the MAF (mass air flow sensor). you dont want to break that! its pricey$$$

snipersix · 05-05-2008, 01:04 PM

i don't really know much about cars, which is why I don't want to do it myself. Might break something :S

r2edline · 05-05-2008, 01:12 PM

Where'd you get it from? And how much? I'm looking for one too.

snipersix · 05-05-2008, 01:19 PM

i ordered on from SR Auto for 538 after tax. It was the only place that could get it for me locally.

snipersix · 05-05-2008, 01:57 PM

ctgazer · 05-05-2008, 02:38 PM

snipersix · 05-05-2008, 02:51 PM

i can give u a hand on removing the stock unit.. I helped King_Kong (keith) with installing his Gruppe-M intake, so i will have a decent knowledge in removing the maf/airbox foor your car.

ehhhwik · 05-05-2008, 10:10 PM

its pretty simple, should take you 1 hr max!

snipersix · 05-06-2008, 12:01 AM

depends on the dealer, some don't care, but lets say, your "check engine" light came on, then yea, i would definitely take it off, cuz they will blame everything on your intake

snipersix · 05-06-2008, 12:23 AM

i go to brian jessel. I've asked my SA about mods all he told me that I just need to revert it back to stock b4 i return cause mine is a lease. Other than that he didnt say anything else. So, im not sure if i should return the stock intake b4 service

Lazzer · 05-08-2008, 12:22 PM

I can help you out if your stuck. PM me.

cadbimmer · 05-08-2008, 03:10 PM

if he said to put it back to stock then i would. he probably knows what his service dpmt is like for modded cars.
