ram air intake

This of course is my wife's car and I'm always messing around with my 94 Chevy CK, then we found out we were having twins and needed more of a family vehicle so I sold that and got a s10 blazer. So now I'm messing with the little car and doing stuff here and there. The air box tab on one of the corners where the screw holds the lid down was broken do I was going to see about a new lid or wholde box . $86 of my money isn't going to go to that, then the hose was cracked and that alone was $38. So I got a ram air intake for like $37 with free shipping from eBay, they quality is there, but its not a 10 min install. The filter would rub the a/c line(eventually causing a hole in it) and the tube rubs the strut housing so you have to take a hammer and hit the intake tube to dent it so it don't run and make a rattle,then the mounthing bracket, little cheap aluminum live you bend to fit and need another hose clamp to mouth it. But other then the mods it looks great works great and sound a lot different.

Attachment 7058sorry phone wouldn't let me upload the pics. motor is a little dusty we live in the middle of nowhere, dirt roads and everything.

MY MAP thing gets in the way of the ac line... it kinda hangs out... any tips ?

makesure you spend the 20 on k an n air filter spray. it will help with catching that dirt you seem to cover your engine in?

The what get in the way?? And yeah I've got to get some this week. The dirt is from several years of build up from my brother-in-law (bought it new) then mother-in-law the. To my wife but I am getting some. I'd like to find one of the pre filters with the elastic to slip over it. But the end needs to be closed. This end is like a "o" the outer edge is like the air filer and in the center of the "o" is and inset air filter. Its a little different I work on small engines for a living. Golf carts go carts mowers four Wheeler utvs weedeaters. The whole 9 yards and I've never seen a air filter like this. I believe its more for appearance then anything else.

Its for sound and it sounds great! But the sensor that connects to intake its touching the ac line and almost gets pushed out.

Yeah. And hmmm. Have to checked the mounting bolt that holds the line tight? Is the bolt gone from that. I don't think it should be near that close. Could you possibly plastic a pic?

Take a pic?

Your talking about the mas airflow sensor? On the intake rubber correct?

Yeah but someone on the fourm said the aveo dont have a massair flow. But never the less there is two things that connect to the intake one a tube and the other a sensor. If I really have to provide a picture than you dent install ur intake and im waisting my time.

Ok thought you were taking about closer to the throttle body. There is a vent tube running from the back side of the valve cover to the intake and there is a the sensor the mass air flow. I believe all obd 2 systems have it I know obd 1dont. But anyways the sensor should be going in a the back side of the tube by the strut housing and kinda angled up. It shouldn't be in the same position as theone that's in my car. The breather tube shoud have a 90° elbow that the vent tuin abe goes on putting its position on the top if the intake tube. Really all it could be is the actual tube is twisted. Or the bracket. Not sure if its held on by a bolt or nut. But thar might not be attached at the base but it more then less sounds like the tube is twisted positioning the sensor so check that.

ive tryed all types of ways lol. it will sit to high and hood will push it back down if i put it they way i wanted with it not touching anything... idk so far so good ive driven it maybe 50 miles and no check engine light... i was just wondering if you cut something... but ill post a picture tomorrow on this page and show u. sorry for my attitude not a good day lol i painted the trim on my car and it looks good for the most part but alot of it wont stick so i have parts that looked like it wasnt painted... waisted like 50 bucks on paint and tools cuz i had none. tools i can reuse paints gone used two cans and 24 hrs of time lol

Outside or inside trim. We r actually in the hospital rooming in with our twins. So Its difficult to find a pic of how mine was. The position was fliped with this new tube so its in a different location it was on the opposite side. Ill see what I can find out though.
If you hadn't already all you need is some prepall wax and grease remover or dupla color wax and grease remover wipe it on let it sit and if any is still left wipe it off and get a spray can about a foot away and spray it evenly and no runs , sticks to it, and no fisheyes. I'm still in the process of doing ours on the inside turquoise. But haven't had tine with out babies in the nicu and tomorrow they are commingle home so deffeantly not have time lol.
